MEMPHIS, TN – DECEMBER 15: Tyreke Evans /

Memphis Grizzlies

I’m afraid to ask if things can get worse for the Grizzlies, but things are really bad. They’ve lost nine straight on the road, eight of their last nine, and lost to the Warriors and Suns this week. Having a former Grizzlies bench player, Troy Daniels, knock in the game-winning basket for Phoenix has to sting a little too. Interim head coach J.B. Bickerstaff was asked if the team is losing games on purpose, and responded “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. We are going to stay positive with our group, stay competitive and let it fall where it may.” Yeesh.
