A day later they just called another foul on Conley for breathing in Chris Paul's direction.

A very poor performance by athletes paid to do a job. Like Hollins said, you won't always make shots, but effort can be given at all times.

The problem lies with Rudy Gay. A ridiculously talented baller with the heart of a caterpillar.

The effort Rudy gave last night was unacceptable. At some point I expected to find out his mom died or something.

Why did we resign Hadadi if he get's no minutes spelling Marc......
Can't he play a little defense? I know he is of little threat offensively, but couldn't he have been used last nite to spell Marc even for 3 or 4 minutes.....?

Can there be a more perplexing player on the Grizzlies than O.J. Mayo? His atrocious ball handling (don't dribble into traffic!)

"Allen had the highest steal rate in the NBA in 17 seasons." and Conley and Allen #1 and #2 in steal rate...wow. Why is no one talking about this?!?

Nice piece, Chris.

I said during the losing streak that I still felt pretty good because the losing streak put into stark relief that there's nothing wrong with this team that Zach Randolph can't fix, and once he returns, there will be even more Memphis Mayhem.

During the losing streak, the two main issues were an inability to score and an absolute shellacking on the glass, particularly the offensive boards. Assuming Zach returns soon and healthy, we'll have a reliable option to throw the ball to when nothing else is falling (not to mention that Marc's offensive productivity will increase).

I gotta say, if Cunningham can start hitting that 18 footer on the pick and pop he will be a weapon down the stretch.

This is a good read, better than having to pay to subscribe to the Memphis Commercial Appeal which is a joke, surprised that more people do not post comments.

Agreed, Jeff. And have you noticed that the "revamped game story" format the CA has introduced looks a lot like Chris's format in these post-game write-ups ?

You gotta believe Rudy Gay's day will come . . . which would give the Grizzlies an All-Star frontcourt.

I am as big a Grizzlies fan as anyone and defended Rudy Gay for a long time when my friends have dogged him. Unfotunately, I have joined their camp.

CH is the best NBA beat writer in the area if not most of the league.
Thanks Chris.

Disappointing doesn't even begin to tell the story. Frustrating.

I figured with out Z-bo that they would have an advantage with their 2 solid bigs in the post. But Gordon Haywood owning Rudy in the first half was shameful.

I didn't like the way Hollins handled his bench.

Solid defensive effort by the Grizz tonight! Tomorrow's game should be interesting.

Great rebound game tonight, one that I honestly did not expect. Nice to see contributions from everyone, although I am still not too impressed by Cunningham and his silly turnovers coupled with his inability to finish an alley oop.

Pargo 0 pts, 0 assists, 3 TOs, -13 +/- in 5 minutes, and most of the points against were his man. I don't think I've ever seen a worse stretch of play. Grizz will have to make a trade now before the deadline....can we get GV back?

Or better yet, what about Kyle Lowry? Still can't believe what we got (or didn't get) in return for those two "trades".

The Grizz need point guard help. The GV trade to Nola looks worse everyday.

Great game last night - would have preferred the blowout it looked to be after the first quarter- but a win is a win. Only thing disagree with Chris on is pargo - a shoot first backup PG - he needs a lot of work.

Yeah, I am really down on Pargo, he's just all over the place and his turnovers were killing. Nothing makes a turnover worse than committing a silly foul right afterwards.

Great article Chris, but I agree with the others about Pargo. He has some potential, but what this team really needs is a veteran back-up PG.

As always, this was an outstanding write-up, Chris! You are without a doubt the go-to source, and only if I'm honest, for quality Grizzlies info.
