    Fun to watch. He has a little jump hook that is automatic.

    I feel like Simmons will have a better career than Ball.

    Simmons is the first player since Shaw to have a double double in his first 4 games.

    Looks like the Grizz are going to take down the Rockets.

    My gut is still telling me the Grizzlies will come back down to earth.

    They're basically Conley and Gasol and a bunch of scrubs. Is Fizdale (sp?) that good a coach? Is Gasol actually the league MVP?

    I wouldn't call them scrubs, they are just system defensive players. Kinda like the Spurs players of the mid 2000s.

    I've got to say, apart from Parsons (who is a bit player for them at the moment) I'd be hard-pressed to pick most of them out of a lineup. I mean, where were they drafted? How many of them were UNdrafted?

    Plumlee's now a 13 minutes-off-the-bench player. Wonder if they regret that trade. (On the flipside, Will is leading them in scoring, so they don't regret THAT trade.)

    They are the poor man's Spurs. It doesn't matter who is in the game, they just grit out wins.

    Yup that’s a good comp. They are like the Spurs without the championship recently.

    Have they had a season under 48 wins recently?

    I watched the game and they didn't even play very well. There was one funny play where Gasol was being guarded by Eric Gordon in the post. For some reason he kicked the ball out fire a contested 3. It made zero sense.
