Grizzlies outscored in the paint 54 - 36 by a very talent-light Kings squad. Absolutely unacceptable and embarassing, but not a surprise with Stromile Swift in the doghouse.

If the Kings had shot better from outside it would have been a blowout. The Griz didn't really deserve to be that close.

I can't believe they lost this game. I turned the set off in the 4th quarter with an eight point lead with around six minutes left in the game.
Is Ivaroni overwhelmed?
How can Wallace not feel compelled to do something?
I was hoping Heisley appearance in town this week would facilitate some sort of action, since he saw first hand how bloody awful his team looks.

How can you blame Marc? He didn't lose this game, the play that got Rudy with the ball in the corner was a great play, if you watch the replays he had an open lane to the basket, but he just lost the ball but the lane was there. The only thing I thought he should've done differently was go zone more.

What MI should've done differently was get the worse defensive unit collectively off the floor and balance it out with some defensive help.
Conley, JCN, Miller, Rudy, Gasol= All time worse defensive unit.

Nah that's not the worst, the worst would be replacing Conley with Damon

in fact, the worst defensive unit is:
lowry - miller - gay - swift - gasol
outscored by more than one point per minute.
133 points allowed per 48 minutes.

And the 5 man unit with the best +/- on the list is:
Stoudamire - Miller - Gay - Swift - Gasol
If your point is that Lowry causes the offense to bog down and therefore a decrease in offensive production, I agree with you. The difference in the +/- is related more to poor offense than poor defense, in my opinion.
The second set of statistics on the page you provided will bear me witness:
Offensive FG% for the lineup you mentioned: .384
Offensive FG% for the lineup I mentioned: .599
Lowry is listed on several lineup combos with poor offensive FG%
