(Sports Network) – Toronto will continue a five-game road trip this evening as
they visit the Grizzlies in Memphis. Terrell Suggs Jersey . The team fell to 1-1
on the trek following a 98-84 loss at New Jersey on Wednesday. Jerryd Bayless
ended with 16 points and 10 assists, while James Johnson also netted 16 points
and DeMar DeRozan added 12 points for the Raptors, who have lost five of eight
games and was coming off a win at Cleveland. “The Nets outworked us. [Kris]
Humphries had 21 rebounds. You have to be physical with him in the paint, and we
didnt have that,” Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said. The Raptors shot 38.3
percent and got 11 points off the bench from Leandro Barbosa. Barbosa was then
shipped to Indiana before the trade deadline for a second-round pick and cash.
Toronto fell to 7-15 on the road this year and guard Jose Calderon missed his
third straight game with a sprained right ankle. Calderon is questionable for
tonight. Toronto will also visit the Bobcats and Knicks on the trip and has lost
six in a row to the Grizzlies, including a recent 102-99 setback on March 2 at
Air Canada Centre. Memphis has won 15 of the last 20 meetings between the teams
and eight of 10 encounters on Beale Street. The Grizzlies didnt do much to
bolster their roster before the NBAs trade deadline and look to get back on
track when they resume their three-game homestand tonight versus the Raptors.
Memphis did send swingman Sam Young to Philadelphia in exchange for the rights
to forward Ricky Sanchez. Young played 21 games for the Grizzlies this season,
averaging 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds. Sanchez has yet to play an NBA game since
being selected by Portland in the second round of the 2005 draft. The Grizzlies
have lost two of three games since a five-game winning streak and opened the
homestand with Tuesdays 116-111 double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Marreese Speights had 25 points to lead Memphis and Marc Gasol scored 20 with 11
rebounds. “We played a great game and we should have won the game,” Grizzlies
head coach Lionel Hollins said. “We lost to a team that played better. Weve got
to give them their due and weve just got to get ready to come back on Friday.”
Mike Conley had 10 points and 11 assists, and has recorded multiple steals in a
franchise-record and career-high 12 consecutive games. Hollins squad lost for
only the third time in the past 13 games and will also host Washington on the
residency. The Grizzlies are 15-6 at home and sit four games behind San Antonio
for the Southwest lead. In injury news for Memphis, forward Rudy Gay
(concussion) is probable for Friday and forward Zach Randolph (knee) is listed
as questionable. Randolph hasnt played since Jan. 1 at Chicago due to an MCL
tear in his right knee and is averaging 14.8 points ad 7.5 rebounds in four
games this season. Ed Reed Jersey . Haye weighed in Thursday at
210 pounds, half a pound lighter than he weighed in his last fight a year ago, a
points loss to Wladimir Klitschko in a title unification bout. Michael Oher Jersey .J. —Tyler Ruthven
called the Red Bulls streak of three straight 1-0 victories “surreal” after
their decision over the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night. http://www.ravensproshop.com/torrey-smith-jerseys
. —Thanks to a repave that led to blistering speeds, Pocono Raceways track
record was topped 36 times. Vonta Leach Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Ray
Rice Jersey . Despatie, of Laval, Que,. played it safe with his
dive list, posting an average degree of difficulty of just 3.2 throughout his
six dives. He placed ninth with a total score of 458.55 for his efforts and
easily progressed in the top-18. ATLANTA —Andy Roddick was hoping Nicolas
Mahut would be the first to flinch in a first-set tiebreaker. It didnt take long
for Roddick to get his wish. “He missed a pretty easy to ball in the tiebreaker
to make it 3-all,” Roddick said. “From there, I played pretty solid.” Roddick
beat the Frenchman 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the second round of the Atlanta Open on
Wednesday night after rain delayed the tournament 4 1/2 hours. Roddick, who will
play Michael Russell in the quarterfinals, broke Mahut in the ninth point of the
tiebreaker and held serve to take a tough first set. “The first tiebreaker is so
big,” Roddick said. “Theres not much between you, and whoever loses it has a
long road (back). I was fortunate to get up on that one.” Russell, at 34, is the
oldest player in the main draw, but he outlasted No. 5 seed Kevin Anderson of
South Africa 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4 to reach his first ATP World Tour hard-court
quarterfinals since February 2011. No. 8 seed Go Soeda of Japan beat Russias
Igor Kunitsyn 6-1, 7-5. Their match began at 4 p.m., but when the rain hit 25
minutes later, the order of play was changed. Soeda and Kunitsyn had to wait 7
1/2 hours for Russell and Anderson to finish before their match could restart.
Soeda led the first set 3-0 before play was stopped. The match, which lasted 1
hour, 31 minutes, ended at 1:28 a.m. No. 3 seed Kei Nishikori of Japan held off
Lithuanias Ricardas Berankis 6-4, 6-7 (7), 6-4 in a match that ended at 1:47
a.m. Roddicks victory avenged a four-set loss to Maahut at the French Open on
May 27. Haloti Ngata Jersey. It was Roddicks earliest
exit from a Grand Slam tournament since 2007 and his first loss to Mahut in five
career matches. “I thought about it a little bit, but the conditions are so
different,” Roddick said. “Im not real comfortable on clay. I dont think thats a
secret. Obviously coming back here on home turf on a surface Im very comfortable
on is just a different scenario.” No. 1 seed John Isner and No. 2 seed Mardy
Fish, Atlantas two-time defending champion, will play their second-round matches
on Thursday. Though Roddick didnt have to wait nearly as long as some of the
players to get on the court, the damp conditions were hardly to his liking. He
and Mahut occasionally slipped as they tried to reach for shots. “I expressed my
concern,” Roddick said. “It was heard by the supervisor. He agreed with my
sentiment and told me to play on.” Russell and Anderson began their match at 4
p.m., but they had to wait nearly five hours before resuming. In the tiebreaker,
Anderson held serve to take the 11th point and broke Russell to win the first
set. Russell, though, held his composure to avenge a loss to Anderson in Atlanta
last year. Isner will face Ruben Bemelmans of Belgium in the last singles match
on Thursday. Fish will play Luxembourgs Gilles Muller in the second afternoon
match. The other two matches will feature James Blake against Matthew Ebden of
Australia and Steve Johnson against Jack Sock. Both were both wild-card entries.
