BTW: Over the last 4 games, we've gone 3-1 and beat the Lakers and the Thunder. If we can beat the Bulls tomorrow, I'll be a very happy camper.
I think if we suck, we'd want hornets to win, if we dont suck, like tonight, we'd want Knicks to win because possibly we can climb over hornets for a playoff spot. They are slumping now.
not gonna say it was my tweet, but never been so happy to be proven wrong. lowry was a beast tonight and i hope only gets better from here. cant wait till yao/brooks complete this team. so dangerous.
Should be an interesting game tomorrow. Both the Rockets and the Bulls are on the second night of a back-to-back. Rockets though won their first game big, while the Bulls lost their game big against the Celtics. Still, we are playing in Chicago.
Two offensive-minded teams meeting and of course, the superior offensive team wins. Grizzlies can't defend the 3pt line nor shoot 3s. KMart starting it early (Grizzlies announcers were saying KMart is a regular Grizzlies killer) so the rest of the team gained confidence playing with a lead. Our defense on the low block though still needs a lot of work. I think Lowry was challenged by Conley's good play in the first half. Finally the team seems to be playing with good offensive flow, even Lee and Bud. JHill with a couple of silly mistakes but making up for it with rebounding in the 4th when the Grizz last threatened.
True but I think the players are shooting better not just because they've all suddenly found their shots. It's about better ball movement, pushing the ball in transition and better defense to set up the offense. And a lot of that has to do with Lowry right now. The 0-5 record at the start of the season is more about having too many new players and not enough practice time in the preseason more than anything else. However, it's not certain that the team will maintain the ball movement and offensive efficiency under Brooks as they've seemed to have found under Lowry either.
The great thing about what Adelman is doing right now is that Chuck Hayes has played nothing but Center lately... and in the last 5 games he's played 20, 22, 16, 20, and 22 mins respectively. Yao has a 24 min limit. I don't think that's a coincidence at all. Once Yao comes back, all he does is take Chuck's place. Everyone else stays the exact same, and the cohesiveness is (mostly) kept the same. Obviously the starters are going to have to learn how to play with Yao, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I don't see why this game needs to be about piling on DD. I seriously doubt he would have anything bad to say about Lowry's play over the last week.
Great game by the team... But I sure wouldn't mind if Morey can get his mitts on the male Gasol brother. That guy is legit. Dwarves a Brad Miller.
missed the game but saw the box score. win or die by the 3's is going to be our motto from now on.. Anyways, no time to celebrate, we gotta take care of business and take DRose/Noah/Boozer out next game. Play with heart/passion/intensity/defense..and we got a shot against ANYONE
Klow had a good game, but Brad was insane!!! He's having the games he used to only have twice a year when he played against us, every night. And tonight was just mind blowing. Dropping threes like Ray Allen or something.
i had the game on but then i fell asleep 'cause i had a headache i watched the texans game and missed this game?
The team I have been watching all season couldn't show up in Memphis, so some other bunch played. They looked really good.
In the pre-game i predicted Lowry with a big game and Rockets win by 12 points. And i was right and very close to that. I never watched the game i'm in Memphis right now. They don't show Memphis games on T.V like they do for Houston in Houston.
