The FedEx Forum was electric Sunday afternoon, as the Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Portland Trailblazers in a Western Conference match-up. After news broke that Chandler Parsons would be suiting up on his new home court, the excitement in Memphis was real. The Grizzlies fell to the Trailblazers 100-94, and Parsons’ scoreless debut was anything but exciting.
The Good
Sure, it was extremely tough to find a silver lining, but not everything about Chandler Parsons’ blue and gold debut was bad.
The shot opportunities are there. This is good. During his brief stint on the court, Parsons attempted 8 field goals – 3 of them coming from beyond the arc, his specialty.
