Grizzlies offense was crisp, they were running sets and getting solid looks, we were just non stop iso ball. Dribble the air out of the ball and jack up a bad contested shot.
Jenkins game plan was to double Bam and collapse on him when he caught the ball, he saw how dominant this team is when he gets going. Great coaching on his part, Spo had no answer but let’s look at the main culprit for this abysmal loss, the bench:
Dedmon: 0 points on 0-5, -17 in 9 minutes!!! This is literally the difference maker right here, how do you go -17 in 9 MINUTES?! That is actually impressive.
Strus: 5 points on 1-5 shooting, -20 for the game. At least this bum played 23 minutes to get his -20
Gabe: 0 points on 0-2 shooting, -10 in 14 minutes
Highsmith: 6 points on 2-5 shooting, -4. Look at that stat line, it was by far the best we got from our bench. That is abysmal.
Vincent’s replaced when Dipo comes back, then Dipo slides to the 2 when Westbrook comes. Gabe will not see the court from that point on.
They are G-league players, what more can you expect. The better question and the real issue tonight was Butler. Dude is getting paid max money to play this pathetic and this passive? Is this what 50 mil gets you? Sure he will wake up come playoffs but this doesn't look like a playoff team so what's the point right now unless we have drastic changes.
