    If I were Stots I would have occasionally thrown 2-3 zone at Memphis. Zones whole purpose is to prevent inside scoring. At worst it would have given them a different look and yes I know it typically doesn't work at pro level but Memphis relies so heavily on post up plays it would have at least made them hit some shots from the outside.

    Offensively I think one of our biggest weaknesses is we don't have a true set up guy. Dame is great offensive player but not a great at setting up teammates I think that's why they like to put the ball in Batums hands but the downside of that is Batum tends to disappear for long stretches of games. Aldridge struggled but I think a lot of that had to do with his injured hand. With Wes out it really threw off our offensive chemistry. While Dame's not a great set up guy having Wes created lots of space in key and if teams sagged he could kick it out to one of the best 3 pt shooters in the NBA.

    Stotts: Bench Rolo, first Q. Get on knees and pray. Play Frazier sit or exile Blake. Get off knees pray with arms exalted. Fourth Q Freeland Meyers rotate fresh legged centers. Save CJ for the last 5 minutes. Call in a covent of nuns to throw rosary beads in front of the bench.
