TD will get his, but w/o TP to slash and cause havoc. The Spurs offense may find themselves a bit restrain a bit. If the Grizz can render ppl like Manu and RJ ineffective on offense and slow down the Spurs ball movement we get ourselves a good chance to get a win in SA.

Not a very good game from the offense or defense. Randolph and Mayo are the only ones that actually showed up and played tonight. Also, really wish that Heisley would realize that we have the worst bench in the history of the NBA and actually do something about it.

Disappointing loss.

Z-Bo and Juice showed up, but got little help. Got to regroup and get ready for the Hornets.

Unfortunately they end their quick road trip with a loss. Now they return home needing to keep their home streak alive against the Hornets.

Paltry effort all around until the game was already decided. Hopefully, we take this loss in stride and use it as motivation tonight at home.

Those two early fouls on Gasol did you guys in. I think coaches and REFS know this - keep an eye on this in case the league is trying to sandbag the Grizz.

Nah, the Grizz have been getting well more than their fair share of home cooking of late.

If anything, I'll just stick to my guns and blame anything bad on Susie Popovich...

I was looking at the Spurs/Nugz game today. From what I've seen from the game. The Grizz could've made a game of the match and beat the Spurs by a decent margin. W/o TP the Spurs offense is really lost. If their ball movement isn't crisp and on point, then they take the ball out of TD's hands and find themselves forcing the issue on offense. The Spurs as good as they are a type of team with a mgmt group who will squeeze all the talent they have out of their players until their is none left. In other words, some of their positions need upgrades as they are too old of a bunch who can find themselves expose by some young guns. The Nugz are one of those teams as well as the Grizzlies. The next time the Grizz/Spurs match happpens. The Grizz need to make it a better effort to go out there. Match up well against the Spurs and execute well on offense and force the Spurs offense to struggle by taking the post from TP and forcing the ball out of Duncan's hands and force the other players to beat them. If the Grizz can play this plan to perfection, they can win.

Return to Memphis Grizzlies
