In the Grizzlies case, I believe that they become a better team by starting Prince at starting forward, have Davis come off the bench, and Daye as a three-point specialist. There's great analysis on whether the Grizz is better off without Rudy Gay here, here, and everywhere. That's on some San Antonio Spurs suckage level. In the last 16 meetings spanning almost four and a half seasons against the Grizzlies, the Warriors have won three games. In the end, however, this trade means little for the suddenly-potent Dubs. Stay with me here, I think this trade makes the Grizzlies a better team-helping their offense flow while maintaining great defense-but on the same token, this presents a better matchup for the Warriors. There was a Jose Calderon and a three-team trade in there but we don't care.Īll we care about is what exactly does this mean for your Golden State Warriors? They gave up Gay to the Toronto Raptors and received Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye (from Detroit), and Ed Davis (Toronto). PST.If you don't know yet, John Hollinger's Memphis Grizzlies (kidding, but is it that much of a coincidence that his signing coincided with a flurry of moves?) finally traded Rudy Gay and created some salary cap relief. The Trail Blazers will head back home and review any malfunctions before facing the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, November 2 nd, at 6:00 p.m. Still, opening that option a little bit earlier on nights when his shot isn’t falling would be beneficial.

Getting to the line could be his bread and butter if he forced the issue more often, but I understand how taxing 48 minutes of full throttle would be. Lillard did not look to drive until it was a necessity.For those of you keeping track, that puts him at 50.0 percent on the season-not that it means much with such a miniscule sample size. He narrowly missed the first two and sank the last one. Aldridge shot three three-pointers in the game, two in the closing minutes.
If that becomes more of a norm than an anomaly for this defense, Head Coach Terry Stotts needs to investigate the problem.
