Game 10: Memphis Grizzlies (6-3) @ Los Angeles Lakers (4-5) - WIN - 5-5

A win is a win so I'll take it. Now we hit the road, I want to see a competitive team away from home.

At the start of the season ...

These were the numbers we were hoping our players would get and they are producing

Let's hope consistency stays with this team :0

Fixable ****

Very good analysis. Now the question is when this will be fixed. This season or in the off-season.

I'm not used to winning and team basketball for almost 5 years fam I don't know what to feel.

iirc we started like this last year. Hopefully that doesn't happen this year. Kuz has been a pleasant surprise. Lets see how he reacts when teams start to plan for him.

Last season our best players were Nick Young and Lou will. This season we atleast have Lopez and some bonafide starting talent so I'm slightly more optimistic this can be sustained and we'll be competitive even if we don't finish with a .500 record.

I think the difference is that last year we started the year shooting lights out and eventually we cooled down and came back down to earth. this year is that our success so far is based on defense and hustle from everyone. it is easier to maintain defense than a hot shooting streak.

In addition to the reasons stated, we also decided to tank last year contributing to more losses. We lost a few games and let the tank start rolling instead of trying to battle ourselves out of it. Knowing we got to keep our pick if we had a bottom 3 pick last yr definitely was going to impact some wins and losses.

Outsider Bulls fan here:

I was watching the game and is it just me, or does Clarkson/Randle play buddy ball and freeze Kuzma out? And then I look at the stats and he only got 9 shots? This guys a stud and the future of your team along with Ball/ingrim. If these non long term guys wanna be selfish out of spite, then get them off the floor!

But again, maybe it's just me

i think it's because clarkson only knows to set up plays on a pick and roll and julius is/was always the one rolling (naturally because he is a C) though this is only my observation, i might be wrong.

You could be right because again I don't watch every Laker game as an outsider. But I did watch last night and it seemed to catch my eye. And it was backed by the box score where Kuz had the least amount of shot attempts of anybody besides Brewer and Hart who are basically scrubs. Kuzma should be consistently no worse than 2nd or 3rd nightly in shot attempts
