Memphis is making some roster moves. Jenkins was able to sign Ben Gordon and trade for Phil Pressey. "I liked him when he was at the University of Missouri and felt he would be a great fit to our organization," explained Jenkins.

The Spurs were too much for the Grizzlies. Danny Green and Patty Mills nailed some threes that thwarted any run that Memphis attempted to make. Memphis was committed to getting the ball to their big men and was able to get Tim Duncan to foul out with just over six minutes to play in the fourth quarter. The Spurs had pushed the lead to 19 to that point. Frustrated by the night, Memphis head coach took the starters out. A few minutes later, Memphis had cut the deficit to single digits. The starters would their way back onto the court, but was unable to get the game any closer. "It wouldn't have mattered if Tim, Tony and Manu all fouled out. The Spurs were just on fire. We couldn't defend, " said Mike Conley after the game. Up next for the Grizzlies is the Detroit Pistons at home.

Memphis let this one get away from them late in the 3rd quarter. Detroit's Josh Smith made a few crucial baskets late in the game which sealed Memphis' fate. "It's very disappointing. We had the lead at the half, but went ice cold in the 3rd quarter," stated Mike Conley to the Memphis Democrat. When GM Von Jenkins was asked if he was concerned with his team's start to the season, he said not at all. "Our first game was against the team that represented our conference in the NBA Finals and the other is a team that has put some great pieces together. Detroit is going to have a really good season. I would not be surprised at all to see them later on in the playoffs, " said Jenkins.

Memphis got their first win of the season and looked great in the process. Quincy Pondexter was a monster off the bench that could not be contained. Because of Pondexter, the starters were able to stay off the court and get some much needed rest. "It was nice to be able to sit and watch some of our other talented guys that don't get to see much playing time. QP looked nice on the court tonight. Especially one nasty dunk he had...," said Conley. GM Von Jenkins did not get overly excited, but was visibly pleased with the Grizzlies performance. "This is just one win of many. This team is very talented and so this outing was no surprise to me or my staff, " explained Jenkins.

Tough two losses to start the year but at least you didn't begin the season 0-3.

Yeah, that is for sure. I thought that if the season started off bad enough that I would blow it completely up, tank the season and try to get either Jabari or Wiggins. LeBron has already announced he will be testing free agency. I would love to clear some cap room to at least make an offer.
