If this league is going to stick their head up Zion's ass, might as well lick his balls while your there.

How bad are Washington. A favorable whistle, Grizz leave 10pts on the line, shoot 5-32 from 3 & still win.

3J has been struggling of late. Grizz are going to need him to step up his game if they want playoffs.

Congrats to Morant on his first career triple double (27/10/10), I'm sure the first of many.

When is the last time this team lost B2B games?.

This young team has reached a point, where they're beating the teams. playoff teams are supposed to.

It's quite possible the way this team has played the last couple of games their confidence was rattled having lost their veteran leadership. This win & Morants triple dub will go a long way to rectify that. The new defensive additions have yet to play.

The training wheels have come off.

1. Ja is a phenomenon. I don`t know what to say here.
2. I am concerned with Melton` offensive performance. But this probably mostly relates to my high expectations.
3. I am even more concerned with the fact that our success has been almost fully built on Ja`s performance exclusively.

I agree, Melton and josh jackson have struggled a lot. I wonder if they would get any playing time elsewhere. Add Watanabe to that list. I hope Wislow take over sometime soon.

JJJ is hitting kind of a rookie wall. His performance lately is not that good, specially on the offensive end. He is doing great D tho.

Brooks and melton going 0-15 from 3, Morant would have had like 20 assist if the team could hit the jumpers. :lol:

What a player number12, I believe he is going to be the best grizz ever if he commits long term. Our other allstars (Conley Gasol1.0 and Gasol2.0, Zbo, Abdul-rahim, etc.) never managed to a top 10player in the league, Morant will be there sometime soon.

Melton has been big for us on defense. Him going through a bit of a slump on offense sucks but isn't a huge deal when he is the 4th/5th option on offense. I think having Winslow starting and Anderson off the bench will help since it takes secondary playmaking off of Melton which is one of the areas I think he struggles the most.

I'm not sweating Josh Jackson since he was a free flyer for us. If he doesn't show enough we simply don't resign him or maybe use him in a S&T to a rebuilding team that wants to take a look at him and are over the cap. We actually are rounding out as a team fairly well.

Ja/Brooks/Winslow/JJJ/JV with a bench of Tyus/Melton/Anderson/Clarke/Dieng and solid players in Allen and Bell. Guduric is hit an miss but I don't think he'll be a part of any long term plans.
