    What a great decoy by Harden. I really thought he was going to shoot it.

    Good play by Harden at the end of the quarter...but he has to stay in Poindexter's jersey on the 3pt line.

    Don't expect anything from Toney until the 4th quarter.

    Everybody's working hard, but gotta get a little more body on guys, too many uncontested shots and Grizzlies are too good. Offensively we're good. Conley looking like a mix between Skip 2 my lou (street version) / Francis and Chris Paul.

    Good 24 second defense, but poor closing out on the defensive rebound. They are getting a lot of second chance points.

    Conley is fast and crafty with the ball.

    Funny Lin has a better matchup with Westbrook because he is more straightlined but vs shorter but quicker PGs like Conley he has some trouble staying in front of him for long stretches.

    He's 25. I doubt advanced age will be a factor.

    Yeah, I didn't like how he even didn't contest.

    Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure 33 points is the most a team has scored on the Griz in any quarter this year

    That's really the only strategy that will work. They're bigger on the inside and superior defensively.

    Between Conley and their big inside post presence combined with our poor defense, we can't win if this becomes a grind it out game.

    Speed up the floor and transition, run up the score, and don't let it be close late in the 4th quarter. They're too good defensively to gamble on a couple of plays at the end.
