What They're Saying: Grizzlies vs. Magic 4/8

-Henry Abbot of TrueHoop tells you eight things you need to know about everyone's favorite Magic player. I am talking about Adonal Foyle of course. He was traded to Memphis in the Alston deal and then landed back with the Magic.

-After a few days off, the Magic laid an egg in Houston, the last playoff-bound team they will face this season. Brian Schmitz recaps the team's struggle from Houston. Ben Q Rock of 3rd Quarter Collapse goes more into detail about the team's struggles against the Rockets. And I even have a quick recap of what happened at the Toyota Center.

-Also from Houston, Dwight Howard injures Anthony Johnson during practice. And it was nice to see Tyronn Lue step in and support with Johnson out.

-I should have more on this later, but don't you just miss Tracy McGrady. Don't worry, Mike Bianchi of The Orlando Sentinel does not either.

-Ben Q Rock of Third Quarter Collapse asks in the preview for tonight's game: can the Grizzlies be playing their best basketball of the season right now? The answer is a surprising yes. So far, Detroit and Houston are the only teams to sweep Orlando. Memphis can join that list with a win tonight.

-Scott Anez of OrlandoMagic.com believes the No. 2 seed is there to be taken for the Magic. But they have to go undefeated.

-Joel Glass of OrlandoMagic.com has an interesting stat for you. Lewis has a +/- rating of +603 this season. That is fifth in the entire league.

-Chip Crain of Grizzlies blog 3 Shades of Blue is still reeling from last night's game against Portland. The Blazers were called for three total fouls in the second half as they topped the Grizzlies 96-93, erasing a 12-point halftime deficit. The Grizzlies are not playing like a 22-win team right now.
