Grizzlies @ Suns Game Thread 12-12-12

Time to feed our go-to scorer. Anyone know who that is?

[AzStevenCal]

Dragic needs to take control of this, we've wasted a couple of possessions watching Brown make bad decision after bad decision. 2 point lead with 2:20 remaining.

Gay gets called with a loose ball but the Suns get even luckier as it looked like someone tossed some water on him.

 

[Absolute Zero]

We are up 2 with 2 minutes left. But as always, no subs yet by Gentry, he'll run these guys into the ground, and we'll lose. Keep an eye on Randolph.

 

[AzStevenCal]

We're in this game because Beasley and Scola have played a combined 24 minutes. If Scola is held to 18 minutes and Beasley is kept to 0 minutes, we could be a pretty decent team. We'd still lose all our close games because we lack that go-to guy but still, we'd be competitive.

Dudley and Brown are the only guys to have played a lot of minutes.

[AzStevenCal]

Randolph fouled on purpose because Morris got past him and the ref wouldn't blow the whistle. Big turnover at a critical moment, cowardly refereeing at a big moment.

[AzStevenCal]

Tie game, tough shot by Gay.

Steve

 

[AzStevenCal]

Tie game, we have the ball and 7.7 seconds to try and win it.

[Phrazbit]

Beasley 2-11...
Yeah this guy needs more time to develop.

Its all Dragic's fault, just ask slin.

 

[Mainstreet]

I believe this is a replay of the last Grizzlies game. I'd like to see Dragic just drive it to the basket.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I'm not a big Scola fan but he might be the most clutch shooter on this team if he's given enough time to shoot but I doubt we'll bring him in.

What a bizarre comment. Dragic is the only player on the team over 30mpg and he's only at 32mpg. I doubt there is another team in the league who's top minutes player is so low.

 

[AzStevenCal]

DRAGIC!!!

Steve

 

[Phrazbit]

The Dragon!

 

[AzStevenCal]

Half a second to hold on to a 2 point lead.

Ask and ye shall receive...

 

[Absolute Zero]

Dudley and Brown are the only guys to have played a lot of minutes.

Steve

Everyone on the court other than Morris is over 30 minutes.

Dragic! Enough legs left for the layup

 

[Mainstreet]

I called it. Have Dragic drive it to the basket.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Nice win to end the 7 game losing streak.

Steve

 

[Mainstreet]

Ask and ye shall receive...

Yea.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Dragic! Enough legs left for the layup

Dudley put in 42 minutes which is a lot but the other starters went 36, 33, 33 and 14. Morris was out there at the end and he logged 26 minutes. There is nothing unusual with those minutes, other than Dudley.

Steve

Edit: My numbers were a little off, CBS wasn't up to date apparently. The numbers appear to have been 43, 39, 34, 33, 13 and 29 for Morris. Again, nothing all that unusual about those numbers. Gay went 43 for Memphis and Gasol went 39.

 

[sunsfan88]

Dragic makes up for missing the chip shot game tying layup at the end of the Mavs game on national television

<3 you Goran!

Not sure when you posted that, but Dudley finished w/ 43 minutes and Brown with 39, Gortat 34, Dragic 33 per ESPN.

All I meant was, Gentry has a tendency of leaving most of the same guys in if they are playing well, all the way to the end in many cases, even when they start bricking. He did some subbing down the stretch tonight with Tucker.

Good to get the W.

Apparently, ESPN is counting the minutes with a different clock than you are.
