The first team in the new season to have internal strife! Stars suspended, coach praised management s decision, happy to lose

On November 3, the NBA regular season continued. In a game that everyone paid little attention to, the Raptors defeated the Grizzlies 117-104. There was nothing to say about the game. The two sides played very close in the first half, but in the second half, the Raptors relied on their core performance. The team established a 15-point lead in the third quarter. The game also completely lost suspense. After winning, the Raptors recently won 2 consecutive games and reached eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors this season intend to improve their record. They have 4 star-level players, which brings them a very high ceiling. However, their core does not have a good chemical reaction, so the team lost consecutive games at the beginning of the season. Recently, I have found some feeling. In this game, Ingram scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. Barnes scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks. Barrett scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Boyles scored 15 points and 9 rebounds.

After losing, the Grizzlies suffered two consecutive losses. The main reason for their loss in this game can be attributed to Morant's absence. In this game, Jaren Jackson scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Landale scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. 2 assists. Since joining the Grizzlies, Langdale's three-pointer has been developed, and his 3J twin towers performed very well. Coward got 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists as a substitute. This rookie has great potential. Aldama scored 15 points and 4 rebounds.

The main reason for Morant's absence is that he was suspended by the team. It is estimated that many fans have heard this news. In the last game against the Lakers, Morant bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with the coaching staff to the media after the game. He even said: In the opinion of the coaching staff, I should not play. This is Morant's pressure on the coaching staff. Generally speaking, if the stars put pressure, the management will definitely find trouble with the coach, either by changing the coach or by meeting the star's requirements to calm the matter.

But the Grizzlies did not do this. They even suspended Morant. In their view, Morant's behavior harmed the interests of the team and also affected the unity within the team, so they suspended him. The reason why the Grizzlies management did this is probably because of the lessons learned from Morant. Morant has been banned from games in the past few years due to his off-court thorniness. The two gun incidents have resulted in him being suspended for a total of 33 games. The Grizzlies management has long been dissatisfied with him, and now they have seized the opportunity to suppress his arrogance.

The purpose of the Grizzlies management is two-fold. On the one hand, it is to let Morant know that now he has no absolute rights in the team, and if he does something wrong, he will be punished. The second aspect is to let Morant quit and choose to reconcile with the coach. Everything will be in accordance with the coach's wishes so that this kind of thing will not happen again. But the management calculated everything, but they didn't expect that their head coach would become embarrassed because of this matter. This is not what the management wants to see.

After losing to the Raptors today, the Grizzlies coach didn't look very sad. On the contrary, he looked relaxed and even a little happy. When asked by reporters about Morant's decision to be suspended by the team, he said: The management made a decision that meets our standards, and we look forward to Morant's return to the team. The latter sentence was polite, but the first sentence was what he wanted to express. This matter has been dealt with, and he is still here. This will undoubtedly cause Morant's dissatisfaction. After all, it is not him who is on the side of the management this time.

Morant's dissatisfaction with new coach Isalo is the same as that of Jenkins before. Jenkins originally focused on team basketball, and Morant sacrificed the ball for this. He was very dissatisfied, so the Grizzlies waived Jenkins. Si, who helped correct Isalo. At that time, everyone thought that the new coach would build the team completely around Morant. However, he still focused on team basketball and even reduced the pick-and-roll screens for the ball carrier. Morant was not as comfortable as he was during the Jenkins era. How could he be happy? That's why I used to openly express my dissatisfaction to the media.

Because of the internal strife, the team has suffered two consecutive losses. Before this game, the Grizzlies were 3 wins and 2 losses, ranking at the forefront of the Western Conference. Now they have fallen to tenth. The Grizzlies without Morant are indeed unable to survive, but Morant has been acting like this, and the management will definitely not Yes, I think that after Isalo's voice this time, it will probably intensify the internal conflicts of the team. He and Morant may eventually go away. After all, it is not difficult to hear from Isalo's words that he did not forgive Morant because of Morant's suspension. The two sides still have differences.

I originally thought that the first team to have internal strife in the new season might be the Pelicans. After all, they have high expectations, but their record is last in the Western Conference. As a result, the current Pelicans are still calm, but now the Grizzlies have already had internal strife. If the Grizzlies want to trade Morant, it is estimated that there will still be teams interested, such as the Rockets or Timberwolves. They are both teams in need of point guards. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Grizzlies? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
