On offense, the ball got stuck, which allowed the Spurs' defense to recover and wipe out any scoring opportunities for Randolph around the basket. "All the things that we did wrong - no pace, no moving the ball, no running back, no communicating - if we do all that good and we are who we are and we lose, now we're going to see," center Marc Gasol said. "It's hard to get a lot of information about that last game because we just played so poorly." Game 2 provides a clean slate to try again, and Memphis hasn't had two straight poor games yet this postseason. "We adjust, I think, pretty well to teams and this is no different. We have to come out, make the same adjustments, stick to those adjustments and trust them because this team is so disciplined that they're not going to stop what they're doing," Conley said. "They do what they do very well. They're the best in the league at it." CBSSports.com

Everyone knows the deal: Pau Gasol to the Lakers for his chubby, unheralded younger brother Marc Gasol, bust Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton and a couple first-round draft picks. Stunning criticism crushed Wallace for getting fleeced while being backhandedly credited for handing the post-Shaquille O’Neal Lakers the keys to certain championships. “I expect the media to shoot from the hip and not study the deal. That’s to be expected,” Wallace said. “I just shook my head. I had never seen that kind of response from inside the league. I don’t deny that was the assist for two Lakers championships, but we had to shake things up. We had never won a playoff game. We had been in the 20s [wins] and there was complete apathy in our market. Calipari and the Tigers were roaring at the time. "When we went around the league, we weren’t going to get a tit-for-tat deal. We wanted to bring our salary structure down, get assets and draft picks. And no one else had a Marc Gasol.” NBA.com

Marc Gasol attended high school in Memphis as Pau was becoming the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. At 18, he returned to Spain to begin his professional career in the Spanish ACB league, largely considered the world’s second-most competitive league. In 2007-08 he was tearing it up. "He was trending up so much at the time. He was on pace to be the ACB MVP,” Wallace said. “I said it at the time, I felt like the little boy crying wolf. There was no question Pau was going to flourish next to Kobe and could win several titles, but this deal couldn’t be judged for several years.” NBA.com

The foundation was formed more than a decade ago, when Gasol’s entire family — Agusti, Marisa and their three boys, Pau, Marc and Adria — relocated to a three-bedroom apartment in nearby Germantown. Pau, gainfully employed, got his own room. Marc and Adria had to share one. “It felt like home,” Marc Gasol said. At Lausanne, Gasol developed a feel for the game while dominating lesser competition. The school was not a member of a strong conference. Van Hoozer recalled games that were played in cafeterias with linoleum floors. As a senior, Gasol averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds, 6 blocked shots and 5 assists. “I was just having fun because everybody was so much shorter than me,” Gasol said. “Honestly, my stats in high school were ridiculous. They made no sense.” New York Times

The team was a motley crew. Several players were from Europe. Others came from tough parts of Memphis. There was an unusual chemistry at work. Jerry West, a basketball legend who was then the general manager of the Grizzlies, made regular appearances at practice to watch his son Jonnie. He liked to be involved. “He was very respectful of the coaches,” Van Hoozer said. “He would say, ‘Coach Peters, would you mind if I stopped practice?’ ‘No, Mr. West. Go right ahead.’ And then he would huddle the kids up. Sometimes, he’d really get on them. The whole thing was kind of surreal.” New York Times

The Grizzlies, who have something not a lot of teams in the NBA have this season, two big men who can carry the team in Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, got great performances ... again, from the two and beat the Clippers 104-83, and the series is now tied at 2-2. When the fell down 0-2, the "Grizzles miss Gay" excuse was rampant. Gay was their leading scorer and traded to the Toronto Raptors in a three-player deal in January. But without him, there is better ball movement and Randolph and Gasol have more opportunities to take over like they did in Game 4. USA Today Sports
