The Starters

D. Let’s just get this out of the way: Chandler Parsons played terrible last night. It’s nice to see his minutes and assertiveness rise, but his shot isn’t falling. He went 1-for-10 last night, and it looks like he really needs the All-Star break.. F. Memphis Grizzlies. CHANDLER PARSONS

Next: Chandler Parsons opens up on criticism

Memphis Grizzlies. JAMYCHAL GREEN. B+. JaMychal Green did in his job in this one: play hard-nosed defense. He forced All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge into an awful shooting night (4-for-19). In addition, he delivered some nice dunks and pulled in seven rebounds.. F

Marc Gasol didn’t have the best shooting night (15 points on 4-for-12 shooting). He was just there tonight. He didn’t do anything too bad, so a “C+” will do.. C. Memphis Grizzlies. MARC GASOL. C+

Mike Conley didn’t have a good scoring night, 12 points on 3-for-10 shooting. However, he dished out nine assists and was a team-high +23.. G. Memphis Grizzlies. MIKE CONLEY. B+

G/F. Memphis Grizzlies. TONY ALLEN. B-. TA was just there in this game, scoring nine points and hauling in six rebounds. He didn’t do anything spectacular, but he didn’t hurt the team with his play.
