Aaron Williams is showing signs of becoming a first stringer.

After a sold out house in their not
so triumphant return home from
the lonely road the Vancouver
Grizzlies ended a miserable 12
game, skid by defeating the Denver
Nuggets 102-109. This win marked
only the 12th for the young squad
and it appears as though the
Grizzlies may finish up with a
record more dismal than the
stinker they posted in their
freshman season.

After being manhandled 106-92
by the Seattle SuperSonics, the
Grizzlies made a couple of trips to
overtime against the Los Angles
Clippers and the Los Angeles
Lakers, both winding up in tragic
disappointments.

I know that it’s getting repetitive
but the fact is that this team cannot
close. They hang tough all game
long but it’s like putting a salmon
in front of a cub, sure the thing is
kind of neat and it looks like it
tastes sweet but how the hell do
ya’ ripper the slippery critter’s
guts out?

Against the Lakers, a team that
the Grizzlies obviously get up for,
it took everything Vancouver had
to scrape even with the powerful
superstars of tinsel town, including
two last second freethrows from
Rookie second rounder Chris
Robinson to tie the game, giving

kept playing hard, moving the ball,
and worked hard on defense. As
far as offense goes, Douglas had a
lot of opportunities, but couldn’t
finish their plays off. By the end of
the game Maple Ridge had
finished off the game with a 4-0
loss, putting the Royals in second
place overall in league play at the
half way point of the season.

“To win the game, I think we
would have to go up the wings
more and keep the ball out of the
middle,” was Fearn’s comment on
what they should’ve done more
during the game. “Now that we
are out of first, we can work our
way back to the top!”

Despite having the momentum
and the rare pleasure of a hot
shooting Anthony Peeler, Stu
Jackson was unable to find the
man capable of stepping up and
closing the door behind their West
Coast rivals.

Abdur-Rahim was the guy to go
to, but he showed signs of rookie
confusion, throwing a pass away
on the first Vancouver possession,
leading to a four point swing for
the Lakers. Abdur-Rahim did,
however, have a couple of points
keeping it close enough for a Lee
Mayberry three, making the score
98-101 and giving the Grizz a shot
at another life in double OT. No
dice. Yet another rookie mistake, a

Peeler inbound pass ended all
hope for Vancouver fans as they
began to pour out of the Garage
with under 20 seconds left on th
clock.

The Grizzlies were, no doubt,
victim to an off night for the
officials but they also were their
own worst enemies as nerves and
indecision took over in OT.

Positive notes were that the
Grizz played very well defensive
out-rebounding the Lakers 47-49.
Also the strong play of late seaso
edition Aaron Williams, who
scored six of his 16 points consec
tively, gave the Grizzlies a slight
lead at 9:09 of the fourth quarter.

Whether it’s longer or not, the
song remains the same for the
Vancouver Grizzlies and their
outhful band.
