   Grizz Battle Celts in Marathon 3 OT Thriller (Grizzlies vs Celtics - February 17, 1999)

   The lockout is over and it’s time to get back to Grizzlies’ basketball! Mike Bibby makes his With the 2nd Pick, Steve Francis podcast debut! Big Country is out of shape and can barely move. Shareef puts the squad on his back. The Celtics press and press and press some more. Hapless Stu Jackson enters another NBA season having done exactly nothing to improve the team.

   The Bibby Draft (June 24, 1998)

   "Stu-brain" strikes again at the 1998 NBA Entry Draft. The Grizzlies get Mike Bibby, but miss on possibly-franchise-altering players Vince Carter and Paul Pierce. Stu's narcissism (or crippling insecurity?) once again prevent him from trading Big Country for Steve Nash. No, that is not a typo. But at least we know it's the last time the Grizzlies will ever draft a point guard with the 2nd overall pick in the NBA Draft. Right? Right, guys?

Jeremy and Justin hand out the hardware for another tough season in Grizzland. The awards include The Dave Pratt Award for Worst Take, The Big Country Award for MVP and The Stu Jackson Award for Biggest Disappoinment.
