    This is what I was worried about though... early returns, looks like the refs are giving Memphis the benefit of the doubt and not giving us any calls

    Need to play some defense and slow down, lot of sloppy passes and we'll be fine for now :)

    Need to settle down a little. Too many bad passes.

    I disagree. You don't want to slow down and let them set their defense.

    You can live with a few sloppy passes if you can run the game fast enough to tire them out since our ability to stop them in the post is limited due to the size differential.

    Run a fast pace, run them up and down the court at high speed in transition, and you'll run their legs out by mid way through the 3rd quarter. There are very few bigs that can keep up a ferocious pace.

    That was some good defense on Zbo by Morris, just nothing you can do.

    Conley is owning Lin every time he drives.

    Lin seems to be having trouble staying in front of Conley.

    Wow. Conley is really fast. Lin is a good defender, but Conley is getting around him.

    Many people do. Conley's having a fantastic year. Quietly turned himself into an elite point guard under everybody's noses.

    Still, we are fighting hard. The only thing which worries me is the offensive boards right now. Can't keep letting them have second chance points.
