Not gonna lie, got home late, and I checked the thread before watching the game, and then only watched the last half of the fourth. Big finish by Conley.
Survived.

Watching the Utah game, looks like Koufos started. Is z-bo sitting out tonight?

He hasn't played at all, so I'm guessing so.

They are sitting some other guys too I think. Haven't seen Udrih either. Jordan Adams getting extended minutes.

Haha well I moved to texas in June so I don't get to watch the games every night anymore. I still follow every game, but not being able to see anything kinda limits my ability to speak on what happens

Beno and ZBo are sick.


In the pre-game, they mentioned TA was suspended 1 game by the team for an "isolated incident".

And geez, the Grizz may have not looked worse all year than they look tonight. Ragged, ugly play against an ugly Utah team. 8 point lead for Utah with 5:00 left in the 3rd and Grizz have no offensive rhythm at all.

Did you see the Clap game on Friday? That was pretty bad. The Nuggets earlier where they broke it off in the Grizzlies for a 30 point win are two that come to mind.

Yeah, there have been a few. I think this one tonight just seems that way because we have some key contributors out and Utah is a grind it slow team as well. Just can't seem to get any run going...

Well, this one is headed to the loss column. This team isn't the same after the ASB. Starters aren't getting off to good starts in games, offensively were not shooting well at all, and are not playing with any urgency. Got killed tonight on the glass with Gobert setting a record for a Grizz opponent with 24 rebounds.

Tough loss considering Houston lost tonight and we could have used a win to widen the gap. Maybe we can regroup and get the win tomorrow and then a win back home vs LAL before heading on a the 4 game road trip.

Green has been brutal the last few games

This is beginning to look like last year's Pacers' squad.

I am wondering what else is going on behind the scenes, including TA's suspension.
Iowaggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Allegedly, TA's suspension was a "physical confrontation" with Calathes during practice. I'm assuming it was more than just a practice scuffle.

TA traveled to Houston, unknown on ZBo and Beno, but if they left last night, and weren't able to play yesterday, I can't imagine them on the plane.

Given the past history of getting assed kick in Houston, the missing players, and the general apathetic play, I'm expecting another ass kicking tonight.

After 1Q, Grizz shoot 50% and still down 7. Giving up a lot of 3's in the first Q.

Halftime update: Grizz down 5 as Houston nails a 3 at the buzzer to close the half. Houston shooting close to 60% for the game including 50% from 3pt land.

Grizz second unit did a nice job of getting them back in it after an early 12 point deficit.

3Q: tied at 79 after 3 Quarters. Very good game. Gasol and Zbo heated up in that quarter.

Good start to the 4th as I type this as the Grizz 2nd unit + Zbo extend to a 6 pt lead.

Game Memphis! Big win! Game winner by Gasol with .1 left. McHale has nerve post game complaining about Harden not getting a foul call on his last drive considering Harden goes to the line if you breathe lightly on him..

Just saw the winner by Big Spain.

Curious... Did you see the play? ZBo even raised his hand indicating he fouled him. It was clearly a foul. Not taking anything away from Gasol, that was a great shot. But it was clearly a foul, and this game should be in OT right now

I did not to be honest. My argument is the Rockets did get themselves in a hole in the 4th, and if they had played slightly better than you could argue they would have won in regulation. I'm sure these two teams will meet again when it matters.

I saw the play, and ZBo did foul him.

I also saw plenty of plays in the 2nd half where Gasol, T. Jones, Zach, J. Smith were appearing to get fouled and not having it called.

I don't understand why Harden doesn't do that hard drive, stop, step back move that is so hard to stop when the game was on the line. It's a least a clean look and not the drive the lane looking for the foul call play that he did instead.

Oh totally. Y'all whipped us for most of the 2nd half. And if you read the posts in the rockets thread, you will see everyone will admit that and was pissed at how poorly we were playing.

But we rallied when it counted, and the refs totally impacted the game in a major major division game, and it led to the eventual game winner when Gasol hit that incredible shot. It just is frustrating to see the refs blow it like that with single seconds left on the clock. But again, Memphis made the plays to win, and y'all were certainly deserving

I respect your opinion Houston Summit, but I have yet to post a Game Memphis gif yet.

Please beat the Spurs for me next time y'all play. I want that team to be in mediocrity for the next 50 years.

When this guy is officiating, this is the type of game you get.





The next call Ken Mauer makes in the lane will be the first one.

I know Houston fans are complaining about the lack of free throws, but how many complaints have been made about a team (Rockets) that usually are whistled 23 times a game only be called for 12?

Almost every single player that played tonight shot fewer free throws than normal.

That's how the whole game was called.

Arguably one of the luckiest franchises in NBA history drafting 2 once in a generation players. We will see what they do in about 2 years with just Kawhi and no Pop.
