Another one of the worst 3 pt shooting teams in the league lights us up for 50%. About to lose to the freaking Jazz at home.

These last three games have been pathetic performances. Lack of energy outside of Mike. Defensive intensity had been lacking, physical play has been absent, and again energy.
The longer Zach and Tony are out the longer this streak is going to go. Great teams don't have long losing steaks

RE: Jazz at Grizz (12/22)
I don't think this team is as deep as everyone thinks it is. Other teams lose a starter or two and keep rolling, but if we're missing Conley, ZBo, or Gasol we usually don't play well. There's no elite scorer to carry the team like Houston has in James Harden. It really is a committee effort to get the 100 points the Grizz need to win comfortably every night.
When we're missing key players, the scoring has to be made up elsewhere... it seems like the remaining members of the team avoided shooting more than usual when someone needed to step up. That's not going to get it done.

RE: Jazz at Grizz (12/22)
How does the road team shoot 19 more free throws?
Not blaming the refs.....but how does this happen?

Thought we were going to get a huge lift when VC's tomahawk jam tied the game mid 4th and ignited the crowd. We quickly gave the momentum back by missing open look 3's. Glad Grizz have 3 days off. They need it.

This team is deep, but the two guys who are out bring something to the court that doesn't show up on highlights or the stat sheet.
I disagree about the shooting aspect. Mike, Marc, and Lee all shot the ball enough. Vince and beno took shots as will.
The problem is Tony and Zach bring that nastiness that nobody else brings.

TA and Zach are Memphis Basketball...they are Grit and Grind, the identity of Grizz basketball.
