All I want is a WIN!!

The Memphis Grizzlies will face their division rivals the Dallas Mavericks for the second time this season. All I want is a win.

The Grizzlies are 14-13 and sit sixth in the west. The Mavericks are 14-12 and are fifth in the west. All I want is a win.

The Grizzlies have to be consistent offensively for the entire game. They must take the right shots. Settling for three pointers has not helped and has gone well for the opponents. All I want is a win.

Where is the defense? It has disappeared in the wind. Was it taken over by aliens? Are there voo doo dolls of all the players on the team that someone is using. Something is wrong. This is not one of the best defensive teams in the NBA as it once was. All I want is a win.

Marc Gasol and Mike Conley have to perform at a high level nightly and not sporadically. This team can’t be great as it once was with poor play from its ‘leaders’. All I want is a win.

This team has to get it right..RIGHT NOW!! There’s no learning curve in the NBA. At this point in the season, these guys are at the bottom in nearly all the statistical areas that are counted except free throw shooting. All I want is a win.

So, tonight in Dallas…ALL I WANT IS A WIN. They need to play with urgency and be consistent for 48 minutes on both ends of the floor. Don’t TALK about it, BE about it Grizzlies. If you guys can compete with any team in the league, PROVE IT!! Players need to stop blaming one another and be accountable. Again, ALL I WANT IS A WIN!
