Well, grizzlies should kill the raps tonight. Scrub bigs have been killing us lately so I don't even want to think about what your front court is going to do to us. Only good thing is that I thought John Salmons was on your team and that we'd have to see his ugly mug all night, but I was wrong.

I'm glad he isn't. I remember the rumored deal that had Salmons coming to Memphis for Prince and a pick from last year's NBA Draft. I'm glad that deal was not pulled. Speaking of the Raps, what been happening with the Raps as of late? I'm aware of DD recently coming back. Is the frontcourt defense the issue or something else?

Defence is slipping majorly for the raps, and the offence is ran threw the kyle Lowry drive for his nba all star ballot lol

I was really looking forward to watch this game. Since that lost we had with half the team ill. The offense was good overall but in defense it was kind of embarrising the number of offensive rebounds they grabbed.

I know Green is still adjusting and all but can anybody tell me how many games is he gonna need? Time will tell but so far i am slightly disapointed. The only good thing is that we didnt give up a lot in the deal...

First Green start = results are still being tabulated

Young athletic team = continue to give the Grizz trouble

3 point shooting defense = still leaves a lot be desired, for the life of me, why are the off ball defenders attempting to help the big's in the paint, I don't understand.

The funny part is Memphis does this in NBA 2k15 a lot , im like WHAT ARE YOU DOING, and I have to try to make a quick switch on their man.

Saw this one and I agree that the defense has taken a hit. The awareness just isn't there on rotations. This is partially impacted by TA not playing as much as usual imo. Conley also isn't at full strength.
