After a GREAT win against a terrific Grizzlies team, Rudy Gay is going to get a lot of love along with DMC and a couple other guys that stepped up at crucial moments. But this was the perfect example of a TEAM WIN.
Nobody is going to talk about how Andre Miller came in and settled the offense, calmed the team, he didn't fill the stat sheet but his ability to come in and be a veteran presence was CRUCIAL.
MAJOR KUDOS to Jason Thompson. He's a guy that won't get much credit either because he didn't exactly tear it up offensively, but he was in there battling and banging all night. He didn't back down not once from any contact, and against Memphis, you've got to have guys who are going to be able to get in there and put there big boy pants on. Down low, it was World War 3 all night and Thompson provided some crucial DEFENSE, shot blocking, and rebounds. The little things. We DON'T win this game without JT.
Any questions?
