Well...
he's #1 in tackles with 40.
tied for #2 in sacks with 8.5
And that's with him being played a little differently than most players.

quote:They do exactly what you are saying when they say "confirmed" or "stands".
Why do they bother to say a call is "confirmed", while other times the call merely "stands"?
The TV guys act like there is a difference. Why? It may make interesting conversation, but it changes nothing.
They should have to read from a card: "After review, there (is or is not) indisputable video evidence that the call on the field was wrong." If there "is" indisputable evidence the call was wrong, then explain the correct call. That is all.
Call is confirmed = The call we made on the field was correct, and it was proven by the video evidence.
Call stands = There is not enough video evidence to prove that our call was wrong. Therefore, it stands.

I disagree with you.
The video is proof. If there isn't proof, then you can't overturn the call, even if you can "assume" from the video that the call was wrong.

They usually ask kickers where they want the ball.
I'm sure the kicker knows where he wants to kick from better than anyone.

re: too many sad stories on College Gameday

Yeah, I'm not a fan of them either. It bums me out hearing those sad stories.
These stories make you reflect on life... and there is certainly a time and place for that.
But when on Saturday I turn on college football, I'm on a different wavelength. I want to get jacked up watching football and enjoy myself. Not think about the tough realities of the world at that moment.

They got AD an open mid-range jumper, and next play they got into the paint to collapse the defense and kick it out for an open 3.
Points both times.
Basketball is a simple game. Get AD open shots and attack the paint.

Coaching change or not, there are rival executives out there who believe that the Grizzlies will ultimately be forced to look hard at trading Mayor of Memphis, Zach Randolph, if they want to commission a serious shake-up that leads to a roster infusion of youth and athleticism. As shocking to the system as that would be for many Memphians, Randolph is the player on the roster most likely to fetch a difference-maker in return.
re: What's up with the Memphis Grizzlies?

quote:Now that's an actual explanation.
Nothing vague about that. The Grizzlies play one of the most unique ways in the NBA. There is a reason their Net rating is always going against what the numbers would suggest. They "Grind" games out. They play a shite ton of close basketball games and rarely ever blow anyone out.
They have to dominate the other team in paint points, slow down the pace, limit turnovers, play great defense, get easy baskets off of turnovers, and just try to beat up other teams.
They just aren't doing a lot of those things well right now hence being unable to make up for their lack of firepower offensively.
Gasol has looked a step slow. He has had stretches where he takes over a game, but he hasn't really been able to sustain. His defense is nowhere near where it should be.
What you said before was very vague. That's why you had to go into detail like you just did.

Things I hate about Cleveland's uniforms:
It says "Browns" down the side of the leg.
The drop shadow behind the numbers.
The brown facemask. Looked better when it was grey.
I like only the white pants with the Brown uniform. All brown I don't like.
Other than that, I like them.

Or rather a severe lack of it.
They simply aren't playing. As to why? I have no idea. But they aren't playing. Something's going on.
I mean, a lack of effort from the Grizz might result in losses... but like you said there must be something going on because the got beat bad in half of their games. And that's just not like them.

quote:Your reasons were: They aren't doing things they usually do, and Gasol isn't in shape.
I gave you some. You ignored them to post some bull shite that really had nothing to with why those teams are struggling.
Those are the most vague answers I've ever heard.
quote:Sometimes it's not an issue, but sometimes it is. And I'm not saying that is for sure the reason the Thunder aren't doing great... I'm saying there are at least things like this to look at that could possibly explain the struggles, unlike the Grizzlies who didn't make any major changes to the team.
100's of cases of this never being an issue
quote:Harden did suck, but it goes beyond just him sucking. There are reasons that led to him sucking, other than just not shooting well. Changes in the offense also plays a part. He's playing more off the ball. There is a learning curve there that he's going through. And the defense has struggled with the addition of Lawson, injured PF's (they have played SF's at the 4 and got badly out-rebounded or played Harrell, who can't shoot, at the 4 and killed the spacing), and Dwight Howard has missed 2 games already. So there are certainly things to look to that can explain the struggles.
No Harden sucked arse in their first few games, so the Rockets sucked arse.
Just like Gasol has sucked and the Grizz have sucked at times this season.
And you seem upset. I'm not trying to troll or even bring other teams into the mix. I'm just confused at the Grizzlies struggles. I mean, it's one thing to just lose... it's another to get blown out by 19, 30, and 50 points in 6 games.

quote:The Thunder have a new coach and had to learn a new system. They also haven't really played with a healthy roster + Kanter until this year. So it's understandable they would have some growing to do.
The Thunder have lost 3 straight, the Rockets lost their first 3 games by like 20 points in each of them, and have the Pels won a game yet? It is November, WAYYY to early to act like the sky is falling on a team who is .500 and two of those losses came to the two teams that were in the finals last year.
With the Rockets, they added a new ball-dominant PG to the mix, plus have injuries to their two PF's and haven't had a healthy roster to practice together during the preseason. So it's also understandable that they would have some growing to do.
But the Grizzlies don't have those kinds of issues. And it's one thing to lose to good teams... it's another to get blown out. I'm just looking for answers.

Yes but I know what's wrong with the Rockets... a new ball-dominant starter being added to the team will have growing pains, they have no PF right now (both are hurt), and they had little practice time this preseason due to injuries.
As an NBA fan, I am confused with the Grizzlies because I don't see any circumstances (like with the Rockets) that should cause a drop off.

They have the same starting 5 I believe. They only made small changes to the roster. They won a lot of games last year.
Why are they getting blown out?

Here is an interview with Gentry after the game:
Interviewer: Alvin, obviously you're not happy.
Gentry: Oh, we got our arse kicked. We got our arse... kicked. It was sickening. We have several plays on offense and first several plays we turn the ball over, one for a dunk, another one that is going to set up a dunk. We got players who can't hang on to the ball... they out-hustled us, they out-toughed us. We stunk today. Not even close between that basketball team and our basketball team. Not even close. Ridiculous.
We have players injured, one who had his knee blown out. Couldn't play anybody. We stunk. Just stunk.
Interviewer: How about injuries...
Gentry: shite, we're down in everything. We don't have enough people right now. It'll be hard to practice this week.. effectively.
Interviewer: Do you take into account at all that Davis...
Gentry: I don't take into account shite! The only thing I take into account is that they kicked our arse today. That's what I take into account.
Interviewer: How'd Ish Smith look?
Gentry: Smith? Let me tell you something about Smith. He looked pretty good right? The Wizards cut him before he came to camp. Looked pretty good for us. Maybe that shows the difference between other teams and us. What do you think about that? Pretty good indication, huh? They won't even bring him to camp... shite... he looks like a star of the day for the Pelicans.
Interviewer: Alvin, was the effort there today?
Gentry: Eh, it was alright. You know, Gee takes the ball inside and gets a little hit and blows the lay-up. shite, I don't know if it's effort or not. It's horseshite basketball, I know that. horseshite.
Okay, I made that up... it was actually Jim Mora talking about the Saints.

Nobody knows their role. Nobody is comfortable in the offense or quite knows what to do.
A read and react / free-flowing offense like they run requires that the players are comfortable with their role, their options, and each other.
Time spent playing together is crucial. They haven't had that time together and it shows.
