What's new

GT: Jazz V Grizzlies, 3/4/16

I love Fav's but he was soft last night, he was kinda stuck in the middle on everything. He didn't close out on his help rotations, didn't challenge shooters or guards on penetration and let Z-Bo go and do what he wanted when he wanted (minus the 1st Qtr). But okay Z-Bo does that to a lot of players so Fav's got his on the offensive end right because Z-Bo is slow, old and has never been a good defender right? Nope outside of the 1st Qtr he played agent kinda stuck in the middle, he mostly shot jumpers and missed most (minus the 1st Qtr) with no Gasol there wasn't anybody that could defend Fav's going inside and he showed that in small flashes and when he was in with the bench in the 2nd Qtr he needed to be the dominate player demanding the ball because no one on MEM should be able to keep him from scoring (consistently).
 
Oh and yeah I thought that MEM crowd was.... well it was weird, it seemed like a good raucous crowd louder than what I have come to expect from MEM but then I think it was a Lance Stephenson thing happened. Why? Because of course you root for "your" guys even if they do bat **** crazy things and other antics on the court, that took the loud energetic crowd to a frothy almost mob like mentality.
 
Its not just a closer we need.

We need some NBA caliber point guards, a few long range shooters, and a go to man.

We don't have any of that.

While the go to man is difficult to find, I do however think that this offseason we can work to address the former two problems.
 
Outside of Lyles and Booker (our two backup PFs) our bench shot 2-13. This team needs consistency. Upgrading our team by a few roster spots would do wonders for our record.
 
Favors 3 rebounds.

Lol

Did he forget we had a game or was Zbo kicking his *** that bad?
