I wouldn’t be surprise if we the Grizzlies don’t make the playoffs. We get ball hog Gay back, we lose Battier, we lose Arthur to injury, we have no good back up big men, we trade Vasquez. We haven’t fixed our outside shooting problem, or back up big men. I know I’m being negative, but I think we are worse now than we were on the playoff run.
I have to Disagree with KD, true we did lose a great player in Shane, and DA is going to be missed this season, his athleticism is always helpfull. but in Rudy’s case, Before the playoffs he had no real reason to defer to the other players. being a prolific scorer, sometimes its hard to trust your team mates with the ball, when you know you can score pretty handedly. now that he had to sit and watch the team play through the playoff’s without him, i believe he now has every reason to trust the team, and that he will be able to defer when he needs to, and i believe this is going to be a very interesting year for Rudy, Hopefully we can have a solid out put of points from the team, instead of having to rely on one player
Any idea what Uverse channel the game is on tonight?
