Now that the Grizzlies have secured their spot in the 2014 NBA Playoffs, it’s time for the City of Memphis to believe again. The Grizzlies will give Memphians plenty of opportunities to experience every heart-pounding, hair-raising, high-fiving, towel-waving moment of Memphis hoops history through watch parties, television specials, events and promotions. The Grizzlies 2014 Playoffs are presented by First Tennessee Bank and Toyota.

Bud Light Watch Parties are back in action for all road games of the Grizzlies vs. Thunder Playoff series. Parties will be hosted by the Grizzlies and Budweiser of Memphis at various locations in Memphis and Nashville. The first Bud Light Watch Party in Memphis is tonight, April 19 at Café Ole in Midtown Memphis (959 Cooper St).

Grizz Nation will have a chance to pick up free fan gear at the Fan Swag Givewaway on Wednesday, April 23 at 10 a.m. on the FedExForum Plaza where Grizzlies sunglasses, koozies and posters will be given out while supplies last. Grizzlies’ inflatables and the Claw Crew will be there to hype up fans before the return of NBA Playoff basketball at FedExForum.
