The Grizzlies are an embarrassment

[Capybara]

I know I'm spoiled living in Boston and following a well-coached, organized, smart team, but this is ridiculous. They're coming down the stretch in a close game and f--king up every element of game management!!

Example: Clippers are up three with the ball and 30 seconds left, which means: Play Defense. That's it! But what do they do? They foul. Needlessly. When the Clips have only a few ticks on the shot clock and aren't even organized for a shot.

Then later they get an inbounds pass stolen. Whatever, the whole operation was just so SLOPPY. Somehow they did manage to cover the spread, but they p*ssed away what should have been a ML victory!!

at least they covered,
but what do you expect from the youngest team in the nba ?

Lack of leadership on the court, the coach can only do so much.

Jay and Tulla, you both make good points. They ooze youth and inexperience.

But still, part of being a pro is knowing what's going on in the game. It's not ALL raw talent. Great players use their heads.

the key phase was "great players", no one on that team is a "great player". They have a bunch of talent, but inexperience talent. I like Mayo and Guy, but bringing in Iverson and Randolph just makes that team for dysfunctional.
