A Quick Look at Scrubs’ Careers The Grizzlies Have Helped (08-09 Version).

Nov 3 – Golden State

Is Biedrins a scrub? Most likely not, but there was no excuse for the Grizzlies to give that skinny punk-club geek this gem of a stat sheet:

16 pts, 22 rebounds (9 Offensive) and 8-14 from the field.

Also, Kellena Azubuike finished with 10 points and 3 rebounds. Our entire 5 bench players combined for 26. Great job, Memphis bench. Your scoring is more anemic than a diabetic woman’s bloodstream.

 

Nov 5 – Sacramento Kings

Jesus Christ.

Mikki Moore, or as I call him, Whoopi Goldberg with AIDS had 11 ribbies. Only 6 points, but 11 ribbies. Where was our frontcourt? The only excuse I will take is that Arthur and Hakim are at the Paula Deen Buffet putting some meat on them bones.

John Salmons, was scrubtastic in this one. 21 pts, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal on 8-13 shooting. This kid was a nothing in Philadelphia and he burns our asses like a fart on fire in this game.

Jason Thompson’s line: 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals on 5-11 shooting.

And finally:

Bobby Brown (No, not Whitney’s supplier) had 10 points, 2 ribbies and 5 assists on 4-4 shooting.

Giving up 13 points to Spencer Hawes wasnt good either. Only three rebounds though. Look for the Grizzlies to sign him eventually to bolster their lineup of Uninspiring, unathletic poor-rebounding 7 foot white men in the post, sans The Pain of Spain, Marc Gasol.

 

Nov 7 – Golden State Warriors

That little shit Azubuike went off again for 21 pts on 8-16 shooting, 6 ribbies, 1 steal and a block to boot. Maybe he isnt a scrub after all…I might have to leave his ass off of here from now on.

Rookie and walking skeleton and possibly Iavaroni’s half-black twin Anthony Randolph had 8 points, 7 rebounds and a block in SEVENTEEN MINUTES. Talk about efficient. I thought he was supposed to be a project? Maybe they should throw him in with the Grizzlies practice squad and they can develop him into a monster quicker.

 

Nov 9 – Denver Nuggets

Ronaldo “Nosey” Balkman had a scrubtastic game against us, with 12 points on 5-9 shooting, 6 rebounds, an assist to his credit and 2 steals. Maybe thats good for him, he can just blame Isiah for putting him in a position to be scrutinized since they wasted a good first round pick on a guy who the Denver announcers said was brought in to replace Eduardo Najera. Yeah, now thats first round pick material right there.

 

Nov 10 – Phoenix Suns

Matt Barnes had 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal. If only he played good against other teams the way he plays against us, I might be mad we didnt hang onto him since we drafted him.

Nov 12 – New York Knicks

Who the fuck is Wilson Chandler?? On Nov 12, he was 27 points on 11-12 shooting, 4-4 from 3 point range, 7 ribbies, 3 assists, 3 steals and a block. Now that is some scrub love. There is that D’Antoni magic, but then there is scrub love as well.

Honorable mention goes to the Grizzlies great perimeter defense for allowing another former Grizzly, Anthony Roberson to go 3-3 from behind the line for 9 points, which I think is his season total of points scored as a Grizz.

 

Nov 14 – Milwaukee Bucks

L’Rah Mbah a Moute, aside from having a name so difficult to say I want to punch him in the face, had a game so good I also wanted to punch him in the face for that as well.

Check this shit out: 19 pts, 17 FUCKING ribbies, 2 assists, 1 steal and a block. There is no reason for him to have that kind of game against us.

Also, whoever Ramon Sessions is, he can thank the Grizz in his speech for being praised for his game tonight. 20 points on 50 percent shooting, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal. Our starting PG who was a hell of a lot more touted and I believe more talented than Ramon Sessions, who tonight I shall refer to as Razor Ramon, had 7 pts, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and a block. By that logic, is Ramon Sessions on the level with or better than Mike Conley? No? Then chalk it up to a scrubtastic game against the Grizzlies. We seem to have that effect on certain players. I bet the Mark Madsens and Brian Scalabrines and the Sebastian Telfair-esque busts of the league love to see us on the schedule. They get a measure of redemption, and they get to look good against an NBA team.

In the Bucks game, I will tell you where this game was lost. Rebounding. We were outrebounded 62-36. They had more defensive rebounds than we had total rebounds. Mbah a Moute had more offensive rebounds than our entire team did. That is embarrasing, and should never happen to that degree. That was an abysmal rebounding performance by our team.

But the scrubs of the league love it.
