Grizzly Bear Blues Grind Prophecies: From Red Hot to Not

I let you down, Grizz Nation. After getting on a streak with Bayless and Pondexter Grind Prophessions (I know... not a word), I created what some might call a jinx. Will the FedexForum be filled with fiery passion on this chilly, icy night in Memphis?

Hubris - noun \ˈhyü-brəs\ - : a great or foolish amount of pride or confidence, specifically towards gods or deities.

I challenged the gods of probablity and chaos, and I lost - big time.

After successfully willing Jerryd Bayless and Quincy Pondexter to phenomenal games, my last edition of Grind Prophecies because a deadly succubus for one, Mike Miller. And it wasn't just a off night, it defied all logic and reason.

In a game that saw (7) seven different Grizzlies get into double-digit scoring, Mike Miller somehow managed to finish the game with exactly zero points, the only scoreless Griz. To further divulge how heinous the backfiring of the Prophecies were, I will tell you that Jamaal Franklin and Nick Calathes finished the game with more points than Miller. Think about that - Nick Calathes played how he did that night, and still scored more than Mike Miller.

So on that note, my prophecizing skills are going to take hiatus for a couple of days. I played with fire, holy and supernatural cherub fire, and the universe did not look favorably upon me. Honestly, I should have known something was up when they started dropping beets from the ceiling of the FedexForum during a timeout. Yes, beets.

Tonight's Grind Prophecies are brought to you by reigning champion, Joe Mullinax.

The last Grindmaster (vs. Suns) was split between Ed Davis, Jon Leuer and Mike Conley
