Griz Fizzle

Tony Parker...

Tony FUCKING Parker...

12-for-13 from the field! His 1 miss resulted in an offensive rebound and put back...

That's weak...

This was our chance. The apparently to set ourselves up as a contender, not just an "also ran" in this years NBA Title hunt. But rather than make a statement, we lost a heart-breaker in San Antonio on Saturday (80-79 on a lay-up by Tim "I'm a sad Panda" Duncan with 7.7 seconds left) and then came back to Memphis to watch the wheels come off half-way thru the 3rd quarter. The result, an 0-2 weekend against the Champs, a broken home win-streak, and serious questions about the depth of our team.

Now rumors are swirling about Marc Blount being traded to the Grizzlies. Not a bad idea, takes some pressure of Pau, ads 13.3 ppg, and a legitimate center. The problem with this is that he still only grabs 4.5 rebounds per game, and hardly solves our lack of defensive rebounding...However, if the Celtics want to take Brian Cardinal's OBNOXIOUS contract from us for MBlount, I'm stoked.

We go back to work Wednesday against New Orleans, and need to get back to winning games.

If you're not going to beat the best, you sure better beat the rest!
