He had the 6th best fantasy line of yesterday (this post stopped at Deron, who as 5) and he was the only bright spot in the Grizzlies loss to Detroit, scoring 21 points with 15 boards and 3 blocks in 30 minutes.

Also, got an email from the Blazers today offering half-price tickets to the Hawks game next week. I know there's no juice to this game, but they ain't the Grizzlies. Seems surprising that they're already discounting during the first week of the season. Marc Gasol should get a nod as well. Love having me some Lopez right now.
