[Game] Grizzlies @ Kings - 1/7/13

[spudfan]

Boogie has to be able to deal with that sort of contact and aggressiveness. It's fine and dandy if you can beat up Aaron Gray and Tyler Zeller, but the playoff teams are chalk full of big, strong, tough guys like the Grizz have.

Sure does have to be able to deal with it. He hasn't shown that he can this far in his career though. Work in progress in that department.

8 rebounds in 12 minutes with great defense! What a bust!

Dude, like half his rebounds have come in garbage time. Great defense? Err yeah sure...

 

[The_Jamal]

That's just it - as the coach why not put the ball in Evans' hands? The game is over, it's not like Brooks is doing a better job of running the offense.

Oh, I totally agree with you. I thought Aaron Brooks should have been regulated to cheerleader 3 weeks ago

 

[spudfan]

Dude, like half his rebounds have come in garbage time. Great defense? Err yeah sure...

He can only play the minutes he gets. Progress is progress!

 

[KingMilz]

Damn even the Memphis commentary team is getting a good laugh out of this

 

[HereWeBoogie]

can we get some Honeycutt minutes please? the game is OVER

 

[theclash4u5]

Great defense? On this team?! Where?!

 

[spudfan]

can we get some Honeycutt minutes please? the game is OVER

IT, Jimmer, Robinson, JJ, and Honeycutt coming up!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

and tonight's player having his career game against the Kings is Ellington.....

why does this happen almost every game?

 

[Tyndel]

Sorry he is too tall.

Hey, at least it isn't Gary Trent.

Nice putting yourself in a win-win situation. If Trob sucks in his limited minutes, he's a bust! If he does great like he is now, it doesn't matter! Garbagetime!

 

[HereWeBoogie]

thank god no more Brooks. too bad he's Killed his trade value

 

[PurpleHaze]

What just for laughs? This is funny enough as it is without topping it off with Mr. Skinny as a rail - and big bad SF if it's to be believed.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

Honeycutt already grabs a board, i think he's outperformed Garcia already

 

[mac]

True. He hasn't shown much improvement in the minutes that matter though - he still had that boneheaded play earlier in the game. Let me be clear here, I don't think TRob is a bust. I just don't think we should have picked him #5, and I don't think that his play so far this season suggests that he should be deserving of more minutes this season.

 

[theclash4u5]

No more double double streak for Cousins

 

[spudfan]

thank god no more Brooks. too bad he's Killed his trade value

told ya he was coming in!

 

[rainmaker]

Notice, even in a blowout with our garbage unit, there's not an actual offense we're working on. This is truly unbelievable. Just a crap system bailed out by individual play every now and then. No roles, no accountability for filling roles.

How about not making stupid plays when the game still mattered? That would be a start.

 

[theclash4u5]

Why is Randolph still in the game for the Grizzles? We don't play until Thursday, at least put the starters back in.

 

[KingMilz]

What is TRob doing omfg, T-Rob and Jimmer should be fined for every dribble they take

 

[HereWeBoogie]

T-Rob is just awful on the offensive end

 

[The_Jamal]

True. He hasn't shown much improvement in the minutes that matter though - he still had that boneheaded play earlier in the game. Let me be clear here, I don't think TRob is a bust. I just don't think we should have picked him #5, and I don't think that his play so far this season suggests that he should be deserving of more minutes this season.

Are you joking? Trob has been a night and day difference the past 3 games. He's going to make stupid rookie mistakes, every rook does.

While they have Randolph, Gay and Allen in. Three of their starters.

 

[The_Jamal]

He's a rookie! They all do it! Cousins, JT, Reke, IT, THornton. ALl of them!

I've noticed it for years now. The only play set I've seen with regularity is the "1-4 iso" I mean, talented players just need freedom to figure out how to win basketball games, right? Man, the recent success seems so far away at this moment.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

our garbage time unit is only 1 player different then lineups Smart actually uses in games. wow

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Damn even the Memphis commentary team is getting a good laugh out of this

Why wouldn't they?

 

[theclash4u5]

So what happened to at least getting Evans some minutes in garbage time?
