The Grizzlies were about to, as Grizz suggested, finish them. The hated Clippers, who had eliminated the Grizzlies in their 2012 playoff cage fight, were on the ropes. It was Game 6 of the first round of the 2013 playoffs, and the Grizzlies were about to go all Mortal Kombat on the Clippers. I believe I will never again experience such gleeful vengeance. When the banner dropped so did the beat and with it the inhibitions of 18,000 Memphians, who obliged the Al Kapone track and shouted, lustily, crazily, ecstatically, "WHOOP THAT TRICK! WHOOP THAT TRICK! WHOOP THAT TRICK!" That's what the banner read, the banner unfurled from the top of a two-story ladder straddled by Memphis' snarling mascot, Grizz.
