This is exactly why we should not and WILL NOT tank this season or anyother season. The hardest thing to recover after tanking is a winner's mindset !

Not sure if serious? Yeah everybody lets not tank and be superstar-less forever and barely make the playoffs or just miss it! MEDIOCRE FOR LIFE!

It really comes down to Lowry. If he's not playing with so much pride the games arent blowouts. He's disrupting their anchor, while anchoring our own defense and offense.

I think there's also a mental aspect of seeing Lowry playing so well against them. Conley, the guy who never justified being the starter with on the court play when Lowry was in Memphis looked pretty mediocre out there. Lowry goes beast mode, and Conley doesn't respond at all.

“They’re a better team,” Griz reserve guard O.J. Mayo said. “A better team defensively. A better team offensively. They’re a better team. They might not have better players, but as a team, they’re better.”

The Griz just have a mental block against the Rockets. They come into the game ready to lose, so they do. Oh, and Kyle Lowry playing like a man possessed every time we face them doesn't hurt either.

That seems like the kind of team Memphis is, each guy thinks "I can TAKE this CHUMP".

Each guy thinks they're better than their counterpart. Randolph probably thinks he's better than Scola, Gay knows he's better than Battier, Gasol better than Chuck, Conley better than Lowry. And they only have to worry about Martin, maybe matching talent for talent with Gay on Martin, Xavier Henry on Battier.

Mayo's one of few level headed guys on that team.
