It's not an option to be bad, not anymore, not for us." - Rudy Gay They've had seven straight seasons of winning fewer than 30 games, and, after their 111-104 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, forward Rudy Gay said that streak absolutely cannot continue. While they certainly added talent over the offseason, there are questions about how well the pieces fit. The 9 rebounds were nice, but his defense was poor and he couldn't have hit the ocean from a pier.The Sacramento Kings played the nobody-believes-in-us card all summer, and now it's time for them to prove that they can win games. Kosta oh Kosta.you were not good in this game. Kosta Koufos: 17 MINS | 0 PTS | 0-5 FGS | 9 REBS | -9 JONNY COULD HAVE BROUGHT MEMPHIS A VICTORY BUT ZBO HAD TO PLAY. HE COULD HAVE DONE IT WITH HIS DUNKING AND MIDRANGE JUMPERS. Jon Leuer: 12 MINS | 6 PTS | 3-5 FGS| -11 There's no way he doesn't wreak havoc in more time. Calathes has an advantage over Andre Miller in just about every way. I thought he should have played more against the Kings, especially with Conley struggling, but Coach Joerger wasn't seeing it that way. It may not be for long so let us all enjoy Nicky Slicks while we can. His defensive advantage and reemerging offensive game make it a somewhat sensible move. Is Nick Calathes the new backup point guard? I think Nick Calathes may be the new backup point guard. Nick Calathes: 13 MINS | 7 PTS| 3-7 FGS | 3 STLS | -3 Peak Grindfather game: Blow layups, play good defense, and take about three more shots than he should. Tony Allen: 27 MINS | 9 PTS | 4-9 FGS | 5 REBS | -24 Gasol played well, just not well enough to win the game. YOU CAN'T BE SO OBVIOUS WITH IT, YOUNG FELLA. Marc was getting away with fouling Cousins while Cousins racked up the fouls on the other end. I think it would be fair to say Cousins and Gasol flummox/beat each other during the game. I think he knew he didn't have it so he started distributing the ball. I wish Marc had taken about 10 more shots in this game. Marc Gasol: 36 MINS | 14 PTS | 4-10 FGS | 7 REBS | -1 It was a good bounce back game from Randolph after struggling against the Clippers and Trail Blazers. Boogie Cousins wanted to throw down and ZBO HAS NO PROBLEM THROWING DOWN THEN ELBOWING YOU IN THE FACE. We all knew it was going to be because Reggie Evans was involved, but he was only half of the source of ZBo's ire. Zach Randolph: 30 MINS | 20 PTS | 7-10 FGS | 5 REBS | -2 | 1 TECH He was doing good things on offense, then actually morphed into Rudy Gay and started taking bad shots. It was so bad that Tony Allen had to come in and guard him after Green allowed him to get hot. Jeff let him get to his spots and wasn't being physical with him at any point in the game. It felt like he didn't miss a shot in the fourth quarter. THAT'S A RUDY GAY REVENGE GAME IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE. Jeff Green: 30 MINS | 11 PTS | 4-9 FGS | 3 REBS | +12įor all of those who think Jeff Green can guard Kevin Durant:

Then CLee kept having to cheat off his man in the corner to help Jeff Green in the paint, which led to one or two open threes. Every time CLee put up a three it was like "this one has to go in" and it wouldn't go in. It would explain a good amount of things.Ĭourtney Lee: 32 MINS | 9 PTS | 4-11 FGS | 4 REBS | -11 He may have been tired, as this was the Grizzlies' 3rd game/city in 4 nights. Conley had 7 assists so he did a good job of distributing the ball. Instead, Mike struggled from the field and on defense, where Ray McCallum repeatedly took him to the rack. He was being guarded by Ray McCallum and Andre Miller. This game seemed like one in which Mike Conley would assert himself and take over. Mike Conley: 36 MINS | 12 PTS | 4-14 FGS | 7 ASTS | -5 Unfortunately, it didn't work against the Kings. I like that he is willing to get technicals to get everyone motivated. His rotations pointed to Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph getting rest, but he inserted them into the game when it was all but over. I don't think anyone knows what Coach Joerger was doing in the fourth quarter. Grizzlies Report Card Grizzlies 90 - Kings 102
