Looking Ahead

The Memphis Grizzlies have the next two days off to prepare for the Phoenix Suns. Hopefully Marc Gasol is able to go, but if not, this team still has to find a way to play better.

This Grizzlies team does not have the talent and offensive ability to play as sloppy as they did against the Kings.

They played a grind-it-out game in Utah, but they also played much smarter. They did not make stupid mistakes to allow the Utah Jazz back into it like they did last night.

It is time to put things into perspective, after that blowout of a loss against Indiana, 2-2 is not so bad. You head home to face the Phoenix Suns as you look to get back above .500.

A Memphis Grizzlies team that came into the season so healthy is now — all of a sudden — filled with injuries to key guys. After just four games, they could have potentially lost three starters to injuries.

You would like to think they will get healthy, but we have seen this before. Last season was a disaster due to injuries. These Grizzly guys have dealt with them over the past couple of years.

The players are not getting any younger either. This team has the players to win a lot of games this season, but health is a big question mark going forward.
