PREVIOUSLY, THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES...dropped a 110-105 game at home against Boston Monday night. Memphis have lost two of three in the last six days but have won nine of fifteen over the last month. The Grizzlies have improved their defense from terrible to bad over that fifteen game stretch and have cobbled together a decent offense considering they only have four guys (Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, OJ Mayo, and Marc Gasol) who can score (though rookie* Sam Young gets his share of shots up). As might be expected, that quartet of scorers plays a lot, joined by a shoot first point guard. Mike Conley, Jr. most of the time with either Jamaal Tinsley or Marcus Williams shooting worse and turning the ball over more often in relief.
*Young's both a rookie and older than Gay, Mayo, Conley, and Williams. I wonder how that dichotomy influences the locker room dynamic.
Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
