Rox bench outscore the Grizz bench 49-17. ZBo gets T'd up for taunting. Lack of stopping the Rockets many offensive runs and lack of drive in the second half put the Grizz down for the count.

And I thought losing to the Kings was insulting. Losing to the Rox w/o Mac and Yao is just like gettin caught with your pants down and getting taken to the woodshed from the backdoor.

Mike freaking Conley. If he played the way he played after the all-star break the Grizz would've won a couple more games.

PS: I blame this on the Zach Randolph effect. He's poison and has poisoned Mike Conley and his troops. I used to enjoy the Grizz when they played a lineup of Conley-Mayo-Gay-Arthur-Gasol.

ZBO at least plays hard most of the time - especially on the offensive glass which is something I've never seen from the Grizzlies ever.

ps. I enjoyed watching Alexander Johnson, Tarence Kinsey, Mike Miller, and Stromile Swift more than this group of losers. It's one thing to lose when you're supposed to be to lose with this much "talent" is aggravating. whew!

As much as I voiced my opinion against ZBo this summer, he shouldn't have all the blame placed on him.

I'm with V and Typed on ZBo. So far in these games, ZBo has been active in doing his part despite his lack of man to man defense.

And V, those guys you mentioned I wish they were still with the team.
