MICHAEL HEISLEY Majority Owner
Michael Heisley, chairman emeritus and founder of The Heico Companies, LLC, purchased the Grizzlies on April 11, 2000 from John McCaw after initially coming to an agreement in January of that year. The purchase of the Grizzlies allowed Heisley, a lifelong basketball fan, to achieve his dream.
One of Heisley’s first moves to bring a winner to the city of Memphis was hiring NBA legend Jerry West, one of the top basketball executives in the NBA, as the president of basketball operations on April 30, 2002. Less than two years later, the Grizzlies won a franchise-record 50 games in 2003-04 and clinched their first playoff berth in club history. Under West and Heisley’s leadership, the Grizzlies made the playoffs three consecutive seasons from 2003-04 to 2005-06, making them one of just nine teams to qualify for the NBA Playoffs in each of those seasons.
Following West’s retirement in 2007, Heisley immediately set out once again to re-shape the franchise.
On June 18, 2007, Heisley announced the hiring of Chris Wallace as the team’s new general manager and vice president of basketball operations. Wallace joined the Grizzlies after serving the previous 10 seasons as general manager of the Boston Celtics and has long been highly regarded for his extensive knowledge across the basketball spectrum from the high school to professional levels and overseas.
Heisley and Wallace wasted no time improving the roster, making bold moves to acquire 2010 NBA All-Star Zach Randolph, rising star O.J. Mayo and one of the league’s best young centers, Marc Gasol. Combined with re-signing Rudy Gay, a key member of the FIBA World Championship gold-medal winning Team USA, and extending Mike Conley, one of the league’s bright, young point guards who continued his steady progression this season, Heisley’s maneuvers have yielded one of the youngest, up-and-coming teams in the NBA. Under the guidance of head coach Lionel Hollins, who was re-signed to a multi-year extension last summer, the Grizzlies posted a 40-42 record, in 2009-10, the league’s second-best improvement (16 wins), in 2009-10, and will make a much-anticipated return to the NBA Playoffs this season.
But no matter how good a team is on the court, it must have the backing of fans and the community. Heisley recognizes this, and has made strides to establish the Grizzlies as a leader in community involvement. Heisley has taken the lead on numerous large community initiatives, including spearheading a $5 million donation from the Memphis Grizzlies Charitable Foundation to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to build the Memphis Grizzlies House, a temporary on-campus residence for the families of St. Jude patients.
The Foundation, led by the Grizzlies’ ownership group, has given a total of $7 million to Memphis Athletic Ministries, who operate six neighborhood centers and run year-round youth sports leagues and after-school programs, and another $1.5 million to Stax Music Academy. The Grizzlies Foundation has donated over $25 million to local non-profit organizations since December 2001, raising the bar for charitable giving in professional sports. The Foundation’s commitment to giving earned it the coveted 2007 Steve Patterson Sports Philanthropy Award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as the most philanthropic sports team in the nation.
Of course, the biggest project the Grizzlies organization participated in was the construction of FedExForum, a state-of-the-art arena for the Grizzlies. The arena, the largest public works project in the history of the city of Memphis, was completed in September 2004 on time and on budget, and has set a new standard for NBA arenas. Fans flocked to FedExForum in its inaugural season, setting a franchise record with 18 sellouts, more than the first three seasons in Memphis combined.
Heisley’s commitment to the community has been a thank you to Memphis for welcoming him and the team with open arms when he decided to relocate the franchise from Vancouver in the summer of 2001. Prior to deciding on Memphis as his destination, Heisley embarked on a cross-country odyssey to find a new home for his Grizzlies. Upon arriving in Memphis, he knew he’d found that home. Buoyed by impressive corporate and community support, Heisley successfully brought the NBA to Memphis.
Away from the court, Heico Acquisitions Inc., a key subsidiary of The Heico Companies, acts as an investment firm, specializing in buying interests in under-performing companies and turning them around. Heico holds interests in approximately 40 businesses worldwide within a diverse set of industries, including steel wire products, heavy equipment, telecommunications, plastics, food production and material handling equipment. The 40 businesses owned by Heico and its subsidiaries have over $2.5 billion in revenue and employ approximately 13,000 people in varying capacities in the United States and internationally.
Heisley was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Alexandria, Va. He holds a BA from Georgetown University, where he served on the Board of Directors, Regents and Visitors for over 20 years. He also serves on the Board of Directors of several portfolio companies along with the Heisley Family Foundation. Heisley resides in Jupiter, Fla. with his wife, Agnes. They have five children and 12 grandchildren.

CHRIS WALLACE General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations
On his first day on the job, Chris Wallace outlined his goal for the Memphis Grizzlies: “I’m here to build a championship team. I want to see a parade one day down Beale Street. This city deserves it.”
That statement marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Grizzlies when they hired Wallace as the team’s general manager and vice president of basketball operations on June 18, 2007.
Wallace and Majority Owner Michael Heisley set forth a three-year plan to build through the draft that came to fruition this season when the team clinched its first postseason berth since 2005-06.
During his tenure, Wallace has assembled one of the league’s most-productive starting fives, adding four starters while re-signing the lone holdover, Rudy Gay, to a multi-year contract extension last summer. After selecting starting point guard Mike Conley in his first draft with the team, Wallace has made bold moves to acquire 2010 NBA All-Star Zach Randolph, 2008-09 NBA Rookie of the Year runner-up O.J. Mayo and 2009-10 NBA Most Improved Player runner-up Marc Gasol. Along with signing defensive stopper and instant fan favorite Tony Allen, Wallace’s midseason trade with the Houston Rockets brought back Shane Battier, one of the most popular players in franchise history, to bolster the bench for a playoff run.
Well-traveled and well-connected, Wallace came to the Grizzlies as one of the most respected executives in the league, having served under six NBA franchises since 1986. Wallace has worked with five former NBA Executive of the Year winners, including Red Auerbach, Danny Ainge, Bucky Buckwalter, Geoff Petrie and Jerry West. In addition, he has worked alongside Basketball Hall of Fame members Billy Cunningham and Pat Riley. He spent the previous 10 seasons as the general manager of the Boston Celtics. In his role with the Celtics, Wallace had a hand in all basketball-related decisions, including free agent signings, trades and draft preparations.
Prior to becoming the Celtics’ general manager, Wallace was director of player personnel for the Miami Heat. The Heat won a franchise-record 61 games in 1996-97 and Wallace is credited with discovering many of the Heat’s players. His responsibilities included college and international scouting and searching for potential talent in the CBA as well as the NBA. Wallace was promoted to that position after four years as a scout for the Heat.
Before joining the Heat, Wallace worked in various scouting capacities for the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. He also worked as a draft consultant for the United States Basketball League (USBL). Wallace has also served on the selection committee for the prestigious Nike/ABCD and Converse ABCD national high school camps, evaluating scores of future college and NBA stars.
Wallace, an avid basketball fan before breaking into the NBA, got his start in basketball in 1981 when he founded the award-winning Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook. Sports Illustrated named Wallace as one of the most influential members of the college basketball media in 1991. He has also served as an expert witness in basketball-related litigation and is also a member of the Board of Directors at the Touchdown Club of Memphis.
A native of Buckhannon, W.Va., Wallace and his wife, Debby, have a son, Truman.

LIONEL HOLLINS Head Coach
When Lionel Hollins took the reins as the 11th head coach in Grizzlies history on Jan. 25, 2009, he immediately set out to establish a team identity founded on playing hard and competing as a team every night.
Guiding the Grizzlies to their first postseason appearance since 2005-06, Hollins has transformed a young, inexperienced roster into one of the most hard-nosed, scrappiest defenses in the NBA… Leading the league in steals and forced turnovers under Hollins, the Grizzlies posted winning records in four consecutive calendar months (January-April 2011) for the first time in franchise history.
Since tabbing Hollins as head coach midway through the 2008-09 season, the Grizzlies have steadily improved, posting a 99-104 record (.488) after going 55-152 (.266) in the two-and-a-half season prior. In Hollins’ first full season as head coach, the Grizzlies posted a 40-42 record (.488), the second-best improvement in the NBA in 2009-10 (16 wins), while setting a club record for scoring (102.5 points) and establishing the longest home (11, Dec. 18, 2009-Jan. 25, 2010) and road winning streaks (7, Feb. 17-March 10, 2010) in franchise history. Hollins won the Western Conference Coach of the Month Award after leading the Grizzlies to a 9-4 record (.692) in December 2009, the best December record and sixth-highest winning percentage for a single month in team history.
Meanwhile, two-and-a-half years after accepting his position, Hollins already has become the all-time winningest head coach in team history, eclipsing Mike Fratello with his 96th win on Jan. 31, 2011 vs. Orlando. Less than two weeks later, Hollins earned career victory No. 100 on Feb. 11 vs. Milwaukee.
In each of Hollins’ first two full seasons as head coach, Memphis has led the league in points in the paint, averaging 51.4 points inside. No other team is within even five points of that average. The Grizzlies set a franchise record for field goal percentage this season (.471), surpassing the old mark set just last year (.469).
The 23-year NBA coaching veteran was an original member of the Vancouver franchise and was a staple on the coaching sidelines for 10 of its first 12 seasons (1995-00, 2002-07). Hollins also served as the club’s interim head coach on two separate occasions. Hollins guided Vancouver to an 18-42 finish (.300) in 1999-00, replacing Brian Hill after the team started the season 4-18 (.182), and again took over for four games in 2004-05 following the resignation of Hall of Famer Hubie Brown. Hollins owns an overall coaching record of 117-150 (.438), including two stints as Grizzlies interim head coach.
Prior to joining the Grizzlies, the Arizona State graduate spent seven years with the Phoenix Suns (1988-95) as an assistant coach under Cotton Fitzsimmons and later Paul Westphal. During that time, Phoenix compiled an overall record of 394-180 (.686) and never won fewer than 53 games in a single season. The Suns won a franchise-record 62 games in the 1992-93 season and represented the Western Conference in the 1993 NBA Finals against the Chicago Bulls. After sitting out the 2007-08 season, Hollins returned to the sidelines in 2008 as an assistant under Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach Scott Skiles.
The Las Vegas, Nev. native has honed his straightforward, no-nonsense approach by serving under three NBA Coaches of the Year, including Brown (1977, 2005), Fitzsimmons (1978, 1989) and Fratello (1986) and was on the coaching staff when Brown and Fitzsimmons were honored with the award a second time. In addition, as a 10- year NBA veteran (1975-85), Hollins was led by several notable head coaches, including the NBA’s all-time coaching wins leader and Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens, Hall of Famers Billy Cunningham, Chuck Daly and Jack Ramsay, as well as Bill Fitch and Paul Silas.
Selected sixth overall in the first round of the 1975 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, Hollins earned a spot on the 1976 All-Rookie First Team and won an NBA Championship as a starter for the Trail Blazers in 1977, where he was a teammate of current Grizzlies assistant coach Johnny Davis. A year later, he was an NBA All-Star while also being named to the NBA’s All-Defensive First Team. Hollins averaged 11.6 points, 4.5 assists and 1.56 steals over 673 career games with the Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers, San Diego Clippers, Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets.
Hollins has been inducted into the Halls of Fame of the NCAA, Arizona State University, Nevada High School Basketball, Southern Nevada Sports and the Pac-10. In addition, he has been named one of the Top 100 athletes of Nevada and one of the Top 150 athletes of Arizona. His No. 14 jersey is retired by the Trail Blazers and his No. 33 jersey was raised to the rafters by Arizona State on Feb. 17, 2011.
Hollins, who has maintained a residence in the Bluff City, has been extremely active in the Memphis community. He has been a regular participant in Community Investment and Grizzlies Foundation programs, and has established the Lionel Hollins Bowling for Backpacks event, which has raised thousands of dollars to purchase school supplies and uniforms for underprivileged youth since its inception in 2003, and the Role Models Dinner, which includes a fine dining experience and a connection with mentors that volunteer for one year at their school.

WE’RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER! As Shane Battier proclaimed following his introductory press conference after being re-acquired by the Grizzlies in a trade on Feb. 24, many former “band members” are indeed back in Memphis this season… Along with Battier (previously with the Grizzlies from 2001-06), Memphis also signed Jason Williams (2001- 05) on Feb. 7 and even brought back Brevin Knight (2001-03) this season, this time in the broadcast booth… On the coaching staff, assistant coach Damon Stoudamire is back for his second full season after playing for the Grizzlies from 2005-08 and Head Coach Lionel Hollins is in his second full season in his third tour of duty with the team after 10 years as an assistant (1995-00, 2002-07).

MEMPHIS, TEN The 2010-11 season is the Grizzlies 10th in the Bluff City after relocating from Vancouver, B.C., Canada after six years… The Grizz tied a franchise best with 23 wins in their inaugural season in Tennessee in 2001-02, increasing their win total to 28 in 2002-03 and then a franchise record 50 in 2003-04, earning their first of three consecutive playoff berths… Prior to the start of the 2010-11 season, the Grizzlies held a 303-435 (.411) all-time record since moving to Memphis, compared to the 101-359 (.220) mark posted while in Vancouver.
FORESHADOWING? Memphis finished the 2010 preseason with a perfect 8-0 record for the first time in franchise history, becoming one of only two teams this season (Utah Jazz) to win all eight preseason games and one of three (Orlando Magic, 7-0) to go undefeated… Since the Grizzlies relocated to Memphis before the 2001-02 season, there are now 20 teams to finish the preseason with one or zero losses… Eighteen of those 20 teams have qualified for the NBA Playoffs in that season … The only two times a team has had one or fewer preseason losses and did not make the postseason, ironically, both involved the Jazz, who missed the Playoffs in 2003-04 after going 7-1 in going preseason action and finished out of the race this season after an perfect 8-0 preseason run… Every time the Grizzlies have won six-or-more preseason games, the team went on to make the playoffs (2003-04 through 2005-06, 2010-11).

2010‐11 PLAYER NOTES
DESERVING OF ZACH-OLADES Zach Randolph remained one of the top forwards in the NBA, winning his first career Player of the Month Award for January and three Player of the Week honors… The 10-year NBA veteran averaged a team-high 20.1 points (19th in the NBA) and a career-high and franchise-record 12.2 rebounds (3rd in the NBA)… Z-Bo as one of just four qualifying NBA players this season (Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love) to sport a 20-10 average… He’s now accomplished that feat in three consecutive seasons while no other NBA player has been able to put together those averages in each of the last two seasons… Randolph’s fifth consecutive year with a double-double average ranks behind only Howard (7, 2004-11) for the longest active streak.

THE BIG Z-BOWSKI Though Zach Randolph may not always receive the credit he deserves as one of the game’s top forwards over the past eight years, the numbers certainly back it up… Since becoming a full-time starter with the Portland Trail Blazers during the 2003-04 season, Z-Bo is one of just seven NBA players who has recorded at least 10,000 points and 5,000 rebounds, joining the likes of NBA MVP Award winners Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki along with six-time NBA All- Star Chris Bosh, two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard and two-time NBA Champion Pau Gasol… Moreover, Randolph and Nowitzki are the only two players in that group who have made at least 100 three-pointers over that span… Notable names absent from this list include LeBron James, Amar’e Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, Shawn Marion, Elton Brand and Antawn Jamison.

ZACH RANDOLPH, BY THE NUMBERS Zach Randolph has posted monster point-rebound games throughout his career, especially since joining the Grizzlies two seasons ago… This season, there were only eight instances in which a player has reached 34 points and 17 boards in a single game… Randolph had three of those performances, while Kevin Durant (one), Dwight Howard (one), Kevin Love (two) and Andray Blatche (one) had the others… Here is a numeric breakdown of Randolph’s stat lines:

IF YOU LIKE Z-BO’S 20-10 GAMES… When Zach Randolph went for at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, everything seemed to come together for the Grizzlies... With Randolph averaging 24.8 points and 14.4 rebounds on .536 shooting in his 20-10 games, the Grizzlies were 25-11 overall… All-time, the Grizzlies are 50-26 when Z-Bo scores 20-plus points and snares 10-plus boards… Randolph has averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds in six of his 10 NBA seasons, including last year with Memphis (20.8 points, 11.7 rebounds) in his first All-Star campaign.
...YOU’LL LOVE Z-BO’S 20-20 GAMES! Zach Randolph went off for at least 20 points and 20 rebounds in a game five times this season and now has seven 20-20 games since joining the Grizzlies at the start of last season… That’s one more than the total produced by every other player in the Grizzlies’ 16-year history combined… Z-Bo had one more 20-20 games in the 2010-11 season (75 games) as he did in his first nine NBA seasons (587 games).

2010‐11 GRIZZLIES NOTES
TONY ALLEN WREAKING HAVOC Tony Allen was a game-changer for the Grizzlies in his first season in Memphis, wreaking havoc on defense and subsequently creating more opportunities on offense… Long regarded as one of the league’s best defenders, Allen topped himself this year, posting a 4.14 steals-per-48-minute average… That was over one steal ahead of second-place Chris Paul this season and the highest number the NBA has seen since Nate McMillan in 1993-94… Only one other active NBA player has ever had a single season averaging at least four steals per 48 minutes – Ron Artest (4.12 in 2001-02).
CONLEY’S CAREER ACCELERATING Known for his quickness on the court, Mike Conley’s numbers once again accelerated during the 2010-11 season… The 6-1, 185-pound playmaker set a new career high with 14 assists on Dec. 8 at Phoenix and tied his own franchise record with seven steals on Oct. 30 vs. Minnesota… The 23-year-old, who would be an NBA rookie this season had he stayed all four years at Ohio State, scored a season-high 28 points in a Nov. 30 home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers and led the Grizzlies in assists in all but 14 games played this season.

MAKING A MARC Only in his third NBA season, Marc Gasol has established himself as the Grizzlies’ all-time career leader for field goal percentage (.545), far exceeding his brother Pau Gasol, who ranks second in the team’s annals (.509)… Marc now owns three of the franchise’s best four single-season marks for field goal accuracy after shooting .527 clip this season… Here is a look at the club’s best single seasons for field goal percentage:

KING ARTHUR Third-year forward Darrell Arthur enjoyed a breakout 2010-11 campaign, averaging career highs in points (9.1), blocks (0.79) and field goal percentage (.497)… Arthur tallied a career-best 24 points on Feb. 13 vs. Denver and scored 17-or-more points nine times this season after never doing so in his first two seasons (108 games)… The 6-9, 235-pounder scored in double-figures in six consecutive games to start the season, the longest streak of his career, and tallied two double- doubles as a reserve (five career).

RUDY…FOR THE WIN! In crucial moments this season, Rudy Gay has come to the Grizzlies’ rescue… The clutch performer beat the buzzer and the Miami Heat (97-95) with a baseline jumper over LeBron James on Nov. 20 in front of a sellout crowd at FedExForum… It marked Gay’s third career buzzer-beater and his fifth game-winning field goal in the final three seconds of the fourth quarter, one for each season of his NBA career… Gay’s three buzzer beaters are tied for the most by any NBA player age 24 or younger over the last nine seasons, equaling Gilbert Arenas… Gay’s late-game heroics this season also include a game-winning shot with 0.8 seconds left on the clock to knock off the Raptors on Jan. 24, as well as a three-pointer to send a game into overtime, an eventual Grizzlies win, on Dec. 8 at Phoenix:

“NO! NO! NO! NOT THIS GUY! NOT THIS GUY! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” Now immortalized on YouTube, this was a Raptors fan’s reaction to Rudy Gay’s game-winning shot on Jan. 24 at Toronto… Not only did Gay hit the game- winning basket with 0.8 seconds left to play, he then blocked Sundiata Gaines’ potential game-winning shot at the other end of the court… According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last player to hit a game-winning field goal (one that put his team ahead to stay) in the last 10 seconds of a game and then block a potential game-tying or game-winning field goal was Amar'e Stoudemire for Phoenix against Sacramento on Nov. 14, 2008… Stoudemire broke a tie with 4.3 seconds left in overtime and then blocked two shots in the dying seconds.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS 1 61-21
2010-11 SEASON RECAP The Memphis Grizzlies will match up with the San Antonio Spurs in the postseason for the second time in franchise history, looking to avenge a 4-0 sweep at the hands of San Antonio in the 2004 Playoffs—Memphis’ first-ever trip to the postseason. The Spurs’ core remains intact from that 2003-04 squad, with Gregg Popovich leading Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, just as he did seven years prior. The Spurs shot out of the gate this season, collecting 40 wins before the month of February and finishing with 61, one less than Chicago’s NBA-leading 62 victories. A late-season injury to Duncan slowed San Antonio down in March, but the Spurs still were able to fend off the Lakers for the West’s top seed. Thanks to the development of young players George Hill, DeJuan Blair and Gary Neal, among others, the Spurs have maintained a perfect blend of youth and experience as they vie for a fifth NBA Championship since 1998-99.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS. LOS ANGELES LAKERS
LOS ANGELES LAKERS 2 57-25
2010-11 SEASON RECAP The two-time defending NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers seek a three-peat in what could be the swan-song for legendary head coach Phil Jackson. Kobe Bryant and Co. proved that they are still just as dangerous as ever with an impressive run in the second half of the season, winning 17 of 18 after the All-Star Break before dropping five of their last six. For the Lakers to come out of the West for a fourth-straight year, they’ll need to rely on their trio of big men (Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum), health permitting, to utilize an obvious advantage in length and athleticism in the post. Additionally, veterans Derek Fisher, Ron Artest and Shannon Brown will be counted on to take some of the burden off of Bryant as teams key in on the Lakers star.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS. DALLAS MAVERICKS
DALLAS MAVERICKS 3 57-25
2010-11 SEASON RECAP Dirk Nowitzki carried the veteran Dallas Mavericks all the way to the third spot in the Western Conference, despite an injury to forward Caron Butler early in the season. The next step for Nowitzki and the Mavericks is to find success in the postseason. Since reaching the NBA Finals in 2005-06, the Mavericks have made it out of the First Round just once in the last four seasons. Center Tyson Chandler, acquired this past summer, might be the key to Dallas’ playoff fortunes. The veteran big man gives the Mavs the defensive presence in the paint that they’ve lacked for the past few years and is a great supplement to Nowitzki’s tremendous offensive game. Sixth-man Jason Terry and fellow vets Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion provide an experienced mix of talent for Dallas, while young guards Rodrigue Beaubois and J.J. Barea will be called upon throughout the Mavs’ run.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER 4 55-27
2010-11 SEASON RECAP One of the NBA’s most promising young teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder have learned from a tough playoff series with the eventual- champion Lakers last season and are poised to make a run of their own in 2011. Led by the reigning, two-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant and All-Star Russell Westbrook, the Thunder have a squad built for the future that also is very capable of winning now. Two other very talented young players—Serge Ibaka and James Harden—give the Thunder four core players under the age of 23. While the potential of this group is exciting, the Thunder became instant contenders at the trade deadline this season when they shored up their front line by adding Kendrick Perkins and Nazr Mohammed in separate deals. Now armed with the big bodies necessary to compete in the tough Western Conference, the sky is the limit to what Oklahoma City can accomplish in the playoffs.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS. DENVER NUGGETS
DENVER NUGGETS 5 50-32
2010-11 SEASON RECAP After trading Carmelo Anthony just before the deadline, many wrote the Denver Nuggets off as a team that would—at best—limp into the postseason. Instead, the Nuggets proceeded to win 17 of their remaining 23 games after trading their franchise player thanks to a renewed defensive mentality instilled by Head Coach George Karl. The key acquisitions from the New York Knicks, including Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Raymond Felton, have blended in seamlessly with the their new team alongside emerging young starters Nene, Ty Lawson and Arron Afflalo. One of the hottest teams heading into the postseason, the Nuggets are able to focus on forcing turnovers and making defensive stops rather than relying on Anthony to take over a game on the offensive end. Suddenly, the Nuggets have all the right pieces in place to make a deep run in the NBA’s second season.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS 6 48-34
2010-11 SEASON RECAP A nagging knee injury to star guard Brandon Roy seriously jeopardized the future of the Portland Trail Blazers, both in the short and long term. Instead of collapsing under the weight of multiple injuries—including another missed season for former No. 1 overall pick Greg Oden, Portland leaned heavily on LaMarcus Aldridge to pull the team through some early adversity. Aldridge responded by posting career highs in points and rebounds and single-handedly keeping the Blazers afloat in the middle of the year. Though Roy is back to playing limited minutes down the stretch, Portland now counts on Wesley Matthews, a restricted free agent signee from Utah who has added to his impressive defensive game by becoming a reliable scoring threat this season. The trade deadline deal for longtime Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace gives the Blazers added toughness on the wing while holdovers Andre Miller and Marcus Camby provide the veteran leadership for the gritty club.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES VS. NEW ORLEANS HORNETS
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS 7 46-36
2010-11 SEASON RECAP A healthy Chris Paul has made all the difference in New Orleans, as the superstar point guard has the Hornets back in the postseason after missing out in 2009-10. First-year Head Coach Monty Williams and the Hornets have cooled off since winning eight-straight and 11 of 12 to start the season, but the Hornets hope to shock the league by extending an already over-achieving season. The task got a lot more difficult when forward David West went down with a torn ACL late in the season, forcing the Hornets to lean heavily on Emeka Okafor and Carl Landry to fill a rather large and unexpected void in the frontcourt. Injuries aside, the Hornets are a dangerous perimeter team, with Trevor Ariza, Marco Belinelli, Jarrett Jack and Willie Green all capable of going off for big games.
