Grizz are a way better team.
Thoughts on game
1) Sully talked crap to Randolph in the early third quarter and was destroyed and benched for a long time. He bombed away to boost his stat line in the fourth. But had a nice series of plays on Gasol for a two minute stretch on D. The game was over then and all Gasol was trying to do was tie his high. 7 of his points came in non garbage time. He came up against two all stars and was lacking but still the best big we had by a long shot. Can we stop the Borderline Allstar talk, we have no stars.
2) KO nice offensive game in the second half but vanished later. Got owned on D. As good as he was on offensive, the Grizz big men scored at will save one nice block KO had.
3) Zeller had a midling game, he played not very good and not real bad. I liked his offensive rebounding as he had four.
4) Rondo did look like he would rather be playing connect four. Very poor game.
5) Uncle Jeff must have forgot it was a contract year. Green has been consistent up to now but not tonight. He did attack the hole some and I liked that. Playing against Prince is never easy.
6) I feel like we over paid for AB. Nothing flashy and lackluster D.
We really need Marcus Smart back, our toughness vanished when he got hurt. His effort was contagious.
I thought the whole team quit tonight for a period in the third quarter. Stevens looked as flustered as I have seen him. We could be looking at 5-10 or 4 -11 very soon as a record.
I am not real certain anyone not named Smart will be on the team long term. I think DA should make a deal. Prefer one for a rim protector. This was a game that was not fun to watch for the first time this season as the effort was not there.
