was looking something up about the grizz past playoff losses and saw this

That's what I was getting at. Instead of forcing his own shot he could use the threat of him scoring and his other wordly court vision to set up others and still lead a great offense. That's why I loved him taking a step back tonight and focusing more on defense.

In the end he has proven he will do whatever it takes to win. Unlike many other great players he doesn't need to even score to impact the game.

He is truly a whatever your team needs he can and will do it type of player.

Also unlike many greats he actually understands that he can't do what he once did since he is older and has no issue taking a back seat. Since he has such a high basketball IQ he still manipulates the game and controls tempo without even having the ball.

You saw it the 4th quarter yesterday when he is calling out plays and directing traffic even though he didn't have the ball. You saw it when he hurt his foot vs the Mavs and in the 4th was calling out plays directing Dennis and Reeves where to set up and get the ball to AD.

And to think, some folks really try to argue against him making teammates around him better.

I'm not gonna post much in this thread, but I'm gonna be completely unbiased here:

Lakers outplayed them, on both ends. With that said, that was just as much bad Grizzlies defense as it was good Lakers offense

Overhelping, over-rotating, unnecessary/lazy Doubles, weak contesting, reaching over for steals(mainly by a certain gun-toting PG who shall remain nameless) and of course, gang rebounding was nonexistent, coupled with a garbage scheme, and it was probably a bottom-3 defensive performance

Jaren was garbage on defense. Maybe the worst I've seen him all year.

I think they do bounce back after watching that tape.
