Mayo is shooting 45% from the field and 40% from the 3s. Some of the games for the Grizzlies wouldn’t even be close without Mayo. Is it his fault that Conley, Warrick, and Lowry can’t shoot? Gay is shooting way too many jumpers for a guy as athletic as him. They need to get Gasol 10-15 shots per game.

I thought this was Gay’s team? So isn’t he suppose to have the green light to shot? If those two don’t shoot, who else will.

Oh yea did anyone watch that game (prob. not) I watched for 5 minutes and was stunned at how empty the arena was. I saw more seats than people. Iavaroni should be worried about that not how many shots they take.

I watched both players take contested shots too many times but I thik the point the coach is making is to take better shots in the flow of the offense

Gay can get to bucket at will he settles for the J alot

Mayo and Gay should just start passing to each other. That would be ideal for Memphis.

It’s not like they have anyone else that can contribute. Lowry-NO, Conley-NO,Warrick-Maybe, Gasol-only inside, Antoine Walker-Where is he?.

Their style of play is run and gun, and if for some reason they are slowed to a half court pace. The only plays they have are one-one. Mayo and Gay are forced to take bad shoots and are young players who dont have the mentality of playing as a Team (yet?)

having 5 guys on the floor should limit the fact that you are shooting with someone in your face. Pass the damn ball.

57% on 36 combined attempts gives more credit to the system that Timmy and Tony are playing in than the players themselves. I’d love to see Tim or Tony for that matter start jacking up contested jumpers or going one on one all the time…just because, I love watching Pop ream a new asshole into his players.
