Fortunately and unfortunately, life goes on the same for the Memphis Grizzlies. Luckily because Santi Aldama He continues to perform at a good level despite the fact that the Canary lowered his tone somewhat last night. Unfortunately because they are not taking advantage of the good moment of the Spanish international and they continue to sink in the West after the corrective suffered against the surprising leader of the Conference, the The Minnesota Timberwolves (97-119).
Aldama, starting for the third consecutive game, departed from his usual efficiency, 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in 26 minutes but 6/15 in field goals and 1/7 in triples. However, even on his least inspired days, the power forward is one of the best in Memphis, the second highest scorer in the team. Taylor Jenkins after Jaren Jackson Jr. (18). And even on his least inspired days he leaves highlights like the one he took away Rudy Gobert. Anthony Edwards led the Wolves with 24 points, followed by Karl-Anthony Towns (18) and Mike Conley (18).
For when I come back I Morant -he has nine games left on his suspension and would return on December 23-, the Grizzlies may have already ruined the season, sunk in the penultimate place in the West at 3-13 and trapped again in a negative dynamic, four losses in a row and three of them in a big way after the 111-91 in Houston and the 89-110 against Phoenix.
But I wish that for the Grizzlies Morant was the only absence, he fills the infirmary with Marcus Smart, Brandon Clarke, Xavier Tillman, Luke Kennard and a Steven Adams He will miss the entire season. The Tennessee team has a total of eight casualties, more than half the roster.
That makes when starters like Desmond Bane are not fine – 13 points with 5/16 shooting – everything is much more difficult to sustain. Although Derrick Rose from the bench, the 2011 MVP being the best of the second unit with 12 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in 19 minutes. Better times will come for the Grizzlies to fix it in time…or so they hope.
