The Grizzlies have lost four of their last six games, mostly due to poor defensive communication and random role players scorching them. This is a team gunning for a championship. They simply can’t accomplish that if guys like Sam Dekker and Doug McDermott are scoring 30 on your defense.
Through this stretch, Tony Allen has become the backup point guard (YIKES!). So far this season, the Grizzlies have used rookies Wade Baldwin and Andrew Harrison and so-so veteran Toney Douglas.
While things aren’t working, it could benefit both parties if they decide to bring Wade Baldwin back from the D-League.
