Chris Paul certainly seems to think so. "It's huge for us,'' he's quoted as saying in reference to his team's back-to-back victories. "We definitely needed some wins to give our team some confidence. There's been a lot of bad plane rides back home with guys down. It feels good to have guys talking and laughing again.'' The Hornets were 0-6 for March before beating Boston yesterday and Memphis today, so yeah, it's important for New Orleans.

But this is the Memphis forum, and try as I might, I'm struggling to find anything postive that the Grizzlies can take from the loss. Maybe they should count their blessings that they didn't trade Pau Gasol, who led the team with 28 points. Or maybe the fans can just be content with the realization that interim head coach Tony Barone has more than proven he's not the long term solution.
