Go grizzlies! keep the streak alive. Everyone seems to be building confidence. I think Marc Gasol should break out. We can control the boards and stomp them out.

Nice thread. I think that there is a good chance that we could eek out a victory here. We are on somewhat of a win streak.

We need to work to shut down Mo Williams and Gibson from the perimeter and try to stop JJ Hickson defensively. If we can do this, I feel that we will come out victorious.

Yeah, it looks like they are getting the best of us as of the 3rd. They straight up killed us in the 3rd quarter. We need to bounce back from that.

Once again Gay and Randolph are leading our squad. Mayo has been alright too. No one has been able to slow down Mo Williams.

We need to stop giving teams wide open 3s.

Wow. What a horrible way to lose the game! It's only fitting that Mo hit the runner.

Hollins has no backup plan when Z-Bo and Gasol are off, they were both playing horribly and he continues to pound and force the ball inside to the two coldest guys on the team

They were far worse defensively than they were on offense. And, our perimeter D was awful again. We cannot close out on three point shooters and they kill us.

This game gave me a damn headache.
Mo Williams destroyed us. Hollins needed to make some kind of defensive adjustment (Tony Allen?) and he never did.
On offense, we shouldn't have kept force feeding Marc/Zbo in the post (especially Marc though). Rudy needed the ball more this game, specifically in the second half.
I don't tend to blame Lionel for stuff and I'm generally a fan of his. But this game he f*cked up IMO.

I've seen this act before most recently from my New Orleans Saints prior to them turning the corner. They will lose to a team they absolutely have no business losing to and then turn around and jump up and bite the big boys unexpectedly. I guess this is just the right of passage prior to greatness.

Look out Lakers on Tuesday!
