The Grizzlies come home this weekend fresh off a win in the city of neon, gambling, and imported Canadian water. Utah's own Canadian imports and their teammates were able to split the series with the Wranglers and now will get to play at the E Center for the next three (if necessary) games.
We're looking forward to that.
The Grizzlies kind of blew the first game of the series, but we like to tell ourselves it was just to lure the Wranglers into a false sense of security. (We love denial.) They were much more ready when they came out on Thursday, and beat Las Vegas into submission.
The Grizzlies have won 20 of their 36 home games this season, which is about 5
6% - a slight advantage when playing at home. However, they've only lost one out of the seven games they've played against Las Vegas in the E Center. That's about 86%, which is a decent grade for just about any test you will take except a blood oxygen test. We'll also throw out that in their last 10 home games, they've won 7, and they've won 6 of their last 10 regular season games. The odds all seem to be saying that we have a good chance of seeing the Grizzlies move on to the next round of the playoffs this weekend. We could be wrong, however, because all that math made our brains hurt, and probably depleted our blood oxygen level.

We don't know what that means, or if it means anything at all. Just thought we'd throw it in there in the interest of feeding you information clutter that will eventually make you forget your name someday.
James Sixsmith is leading the Grizzlies in the playoffs so far with one goal, three assists, and two penalty minutes in two games. He came to win this thing. We'd like to think our website banner had some mega eerie voodoo weirdness effect on that, but we're not superstitious so we really don't. Still, we're super impressed with Sixer's drive and effort. We hope it rubs off on the rest of the team as the playoffs go on.
We're guaranteed two games at the E Center this weekend - one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Tickets are on sale now.
