The league announced Friday that Allen has been fined $5,000 for violating the anti-flopping policy. There are...
Tony Allen pays for his flagrant flop, fined $5,000
During game 2 of the San Antonio Spurs-Memphis Grizzlies series, Manu Ginobili committed a flagrant foul on Tony Allen as he was going up for a layup in the final minute of regulation. After the foul, Allen returned the favor with a flagrant flop (one for the history books I might add).

Z-Bo Meets 8-year-old With Cerebral Palsy and Who Has The Nickname ‘C-Bo’
Zach Randolph took a little time away from preparing to face the Spurs in game 3 of the western conference finals to meet a young man with a similar nickname to his own. Z-Bo stopped practicing and went to hang out with 8-year-old Charles Rowland who was born with cerebral palsy and rocks the nickname ‘C-Bo.’ The moment is pretty special, especially to see a big bruiser like...
More Bayless & Pondexter Please
As the Spurs hit the road to take on the Grizzlies in Memphis, the Grizz have to figure out a way to make sure they protect their home court advantage to survive. How can they do this (besides the obvious answer of better defense)? Easy. More Jerryd Bayless and Quincy Pondexter and less Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince. This isn’t really a knock on Allen and Prince, it’s more of...

Quincy Pondexter’s Husky Puppy, Buckets, Is Cutest Thing on Internet, Way More Interesting Than Grizzlies-Spurs (Photos)
The Grizzlies may be having a hard time hanging with the Spurs in the Western Conference finals, but if the playoffs for some reason become an Instagram competition, Memphis will win in a landslide.
That’s because Grizzlies guard Quincy Pondexter has perhaps the cutest pet in the history of organized sports in his Husky puppy, Buckets. Pondexter first brought Buckets to the public’s...
Grizzlies Coach Lionel Hollins Forgets Jerryd Bayless’ Name During Postgame Interview (Video)
Jerryd Bayless did not play particularly well in the Grizzlies’ Game 1 loss to the Spurs on Sunday. The fifth-year guard out of Arizona was run ragged by the Spurs’ screen-setting, directly contributing to several of the Spurs’ 14 3-pointers, a franchise playoff record.
Still, after playing in 92 games this season, including playoffs, Bayless should at least expect his coach...
