Suns @ Grizzlies Game Thread 2-5-13

I cant believe how good Tucker is (perhaps this deserves its own thread). He gets baskets efficiently and without plays being ran for him, chips in on the glass and has truly emerged as one of the elite defensive players in the entire league.

The only complaint I have with him is how often he steps out of bounds. Seriously, anyone else notice this? Like once or twice a game he gets the ball deep on the wing and when he pushes off to begin his move he steps out, and almost always gets caught. He is such a smart player and its such a basic mistake that he keeps repeating. Its really bizzare.

He is not the best player on the team but I he is up there.

Both of the Grizzlies fans are booing.

I don't blame them. They messed with the chemistry of a good team in the middle of their best year.

That's the NBA GM mantra. "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is."

BTW. I wish announcers would learn how to pronounce Goran's name.

And what a team game.

A 10-man rotation with no one getting over 33 minutes; two players getting 30 or more; eight getting 20 or more; and all ten getting 17 minutes or more.

MARSHALL....33
TUCKER.......30
GORTAT.......29
O'NEAL........25
DRAGIC.......24
MORRIS.......23
BEASLEY......21
BROWN.......20
SCOLA........19
DUDLEY......17

We ought to be trying to move Telfair for something before the deadline. He is a decent player and a team that needs depth at pg, should be interested (like Boston). It would be better for Telfair too.

i always thought gortat would be better playing with another big. i wanted him and roLo to play together when he was still around
