Memphis Grizzlies Links: Tuesday, 9-24-2013 - Woo! You got a date Saturday, baby!

-Obviously not groundbreaking news by now, but everyone should read Peter Keating's breakdown of the Griz and their #1 franchise designation from ESPN.

Thoughts: It's awesome. Read it.

-The folk over at hoopsworld.com have a thorough (but obvious) preview of the Memphis Grizzlies up on their site.

Thoughts: Austin Daye is actually an addition by subtraction, not sure Zbo is still our best offensive player, and the meme about the Grizzlies' offensive woes is getting really old.

-Sportskeeda.com asks if Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph can lead us to glory?

Thoughts: I don't know, but I think Marc Gasol and Mike Conley can.

-Mike Conley is hosting his Fifth Annual Bowl-n-Bash event over at Billy Hardwick's this Saturday. It's $125 for yourself or $500 for a 4-person team, which is like saying "these rolls are $1 a piece, or 10 for $10." But in all seriousness this is a great event run by Mike for charity.

Thoughts: Bowling and "absence of alcohol" go together for me like Ryan Seacrest on TV and "not being able to find the remote control."

-Gilbert Arenas will not try out for the LA Clippers, instead deciding to return to play in China.

Thoughts: It'd make way more sense for the Hibachi master to go play in Japan.

-The Memphis Grizzlies are the 13th most watchable NBA team, according to USA Today.

Thoughts: Pshh, they skyrocket up this list without the millions of morons that just want to watch one player try and score 50 points every night.

BONUS: 1,000 GBB bucks to the person that identifies from where the reference in the promo title came.
