Look who was the high scorer for Memphis

[Blunt91]

It's graymule's favorite player Shane Battier. Shane's numbers and Stephen jackson's numbers are about the same: Battier 16pts in 22minutes Jackson 18pts in 23minutes.

Jackson will be benched before the season is out. His

TO's are terrible. But it's nice to see Reef got a few

minutes. Hawks seem to always struggle with Memphis

for some odd reason.

If Big Dog wasn't benched then how in the helll is S Jax going to be benched? His career TO avg. is not bad at all actually. Soon as Reef gets back in form Jax TOs probably will not be an issue. S Jax seems like he wants to come out and get the Hawks off to a quick start, he looks to score and run early. It will be interesting to see how this team will turn out.

i agree... we always seem to have trouble with Memphis...

last time, we were like down by 30 (one of the last games of the last season) at one point?...

U guys think Memphis could get 8th spot in the EAST?

[Plainview1981]

yeah well, Atleast Dog could score 20 while playing

bad defense and turning the ball over while Jax can

only get you about 10PPG turning the ball over and

playing bad defense.

[swolehawk2]

Evidently you have not been listening to the games...because his D sounds good to me he has been getting steals and deflections ..it sounds like he is all over the floor....and watching him last year his d was not bad at all...I don't know where you get the notion he can't play defense.

I think he has avg something like 1.5 TO's for his career...not bad.

But I guess as soon as he put on that Hawk jersey he became a scrub.

[Plainview1981]

Seems like he got toasted tonight...preseason game or

not...

Shane Battier & Jackson's # about the same - NOT!

Jackson --- rebounds 1--Assists 0 ----Turnovers 4

Battier ---- rebounds 7--Assists 3 ----Turnovers 0

True, the points almost match, but not the rest of the

stats.
