The home opener is here! … and not a moment too soon.

Marc Gasol is a banger, so we could be watching some foul trouble early on. I don't think the Grizzlies can conceivably stop both Kevin Martin and John Salmons for any stretch, so a big scoring night could be coming.

You know what amazes me about Memphis' youth movement? They start three rookies … in the first weeks of the season. Is that something? Talk about committment to rebuilding. This is expected to be the last start for a while for Spencer Hawes; Jason Thompson should also see an unfortunate decrease in minutes come Friday, as well. Make the most of it, kids.

Game's at 7PM PST. Go Kings. Get that W.
