If you’d known before Wednesday night’s Grizz road game against the Portland Trail Blazers that Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum would combine for only 35 points, maybe you’d have thought that was a good sign for the slumping Grizzlies, since Lillard and McCollum typically create an overwhelming share of the Blazers’ offense and have been raining down jumpshots on the Grizzlies since at least the 2015 playoffs, if not before. -

Conley’s 24 points not enough as Jazz send Grizzlies to first home loss
The Grizzlies weren’t just missing shots. No, they were missing so badly that a spontaneous Tony Allen conversation broke out on press row. How bad was it?

Grizzlies: Ten Takes After Ten Games
Ten games does not a season make, but it’s close enough to draw some preliminary conclusions. The Grizzlies have played four games at home and six on the road.

October 2018
-
Veteran Shelvin Mack good fit as Grizzlies’ backup point guard
As the Memphis Grizzlies tweaked their roster during the offseason, they weren’t necessarily looking for longshot gambles that might pay off big but also could go bust.

Grizzlies Game Day: Which team really has the stars when the Grizz and Wiz(ards) face off?
Five games into an 82-game schedule is too soon to draw firm conclusions. The Grizzlies’ most-used lineup so far has played only 22 minutes and features two players (JaMychal Green, Chandler Parsons) out and likely to be for a while longer. They’ve played three games against teams widely projected to be among the league’s half-dozen worst. -

Grizzlies Game Day: A short road trip minus a key big man
The Grizzlies are hitting the road for a two-game West Coast trip a man short, with forward JaMychal Green likely out more than a month with a broken jaw suffered in the second half of Friday’s home opener. -
Grizzlies' Garrett Temple was already living 'Grit and Grind'
The 19-year-old rookie, the guy that was the fourth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, showed out in his home debut as a Memphis Grizzly. He was fast and he was natural as he scored 24 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and blocked two shots. -

Grizzlies Postgame: Conley, Gasol get offense into gear in win over Hawks
It’s a first-quarter timeout at the Grizzlies home opener and Grizz, the mascot, comes through the tunnel with something in his hands. It’s an infant in costume, a bear-cub cutie. Grizz carries his cub to midcourt, “Circle of Life” from The Lion King playing. He raises the little one above his head, toward the rafters. The crowd -- appropriately -- roars. -
Grizzlies Game Day: A must-win home opener?
A home opener is supposed to be a day of celebration, whatever the future holds, not a time for the biting of fingernails. -

In the first half, Marc Gasol looked a lot like his team: slow of foot and uncertain of mind. Gasol got (a little bit) better in the second half, which was more than you could say for the team as a whole. -
Grizzlies Game Day: The history of franchise rookie debuts
When Jaren Jackson Jr. takes the court Wednesday night in Indianapolis, he will become the youngest player to ever suit up for the Grizzlies, in Memphis or Vancouver. Jackson’s debut is perhaps the most intriguing thing about this season’s opener, but how much does a debut typically tell us? -
