La Bomba Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 There are problems with porous defense and too many turnovers. There was an incident with O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay bickering on the bench Sunday at Denver. And veteran guard Allen Iverson made his season debut Monday with a bang, questioning his role as a reserve following an overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. Griz coach Lionel Hollins gave the team a day off Tuesday to rest up for what promises to be a high-speed affair tonight against the Golden State Warriors. As for the notion that the Grizzlies are already spinning out of control, Hollins offered this public-service announcement: Slow down, because everything is under control. "The thing that happened in the Denver game is over. There's nothing lingering," Hollins said. "We're going to work it all out. There's going to be some snags, some bruised egos and squawking, but we'll get it together." One would think the first order of business is Hollins and Iverson getting on the same page. Iverson openly made clear his dissatisfaction with coming off the bench and playing just 18 minutes against the Kings. Hollins said he isn't offended by Iverson's comments and has no plans to change anything against the Warriors. "My thought process is we're starting the same way," Hollins said. "Every player has his own opinion and prerogative to speak his mind. To me, it's not anything derogatory. In this case, it's Allen's opinion of himself and how he perceives his role on the team. He has that right. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/nov/04/rough-week-for-griz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
