Summer League: Grizzlies 64, Spurs 78

So much for saving the best for last. The Memphis Grizzlies did the exact opposite, saving their worst summer league performance for their final game. In a game that saw just one Grizzly (DeMarre Carroll) score in double figures, the Grizzlies were trounced by the San Antonio Spurs and ended their summer league slate with a 3-2 record.

I don't want to sound insensitive, but if DeMarre Carroll is your team's leading scorer, you're probably not winning many games. In a positively forgetful game, Carroll's 14 points and 4 rebounds "paced" the Grizzlies, if you want to call it that. Sam Young, who had had a phenomenal summer league, went out with a whimper, scoring just 6 points on 1-6 shooting. Greivis Vasquez continued his lackluster play, contributing 6 points, 3 assists and 7 turnovers. Hasheem Thabeet, who, like Young, had had a decent summer league, put up a stinker of a performance on Sunday, socring 7 points and grabbing 5 rebounds.

Overall, it was a terrible performance for the Grizzlies and assured the team that they have plenty to work on before the season starts.

The Grizz life could be a lot better,
