Doing Lines: Bizarro Grizzlies

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the "lig." Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.

The Grizzlies lost to the 76ers, and that's to be expected. Memphis falls to 16-45, a welcome visitor in the Dungeon of Doom populated by your Kings and Thunder and Clippers. But things got a little weird Saturday night in Memphis.

Two Grizz scored at least 30 points. O.J. Mayo? No, he had only 11. Rudy Gay? Nope, just eight. How about ... Marc Gasol and Mike Conley? Baby Gasol finished with 30 points (and 13 boards and three blocks) and Conley racked up 31 points and nine assists. WHAT.

Also from the dungeon ...: There is one reason for the unsick to watch the Clippers, and his name is Eric Gordon. Back from injury, E.G. whipped out 35 points and six assists in a loss to the Pacers. I wouldn't be opposed to Gordon taking a larger share of RotY attention sometime soon.

One more rookie: Let's close this out with some love for Charlotte, on its first six-game win streak in franchise history. Larry Brown, I am wrong, and I am sorry. D.J. Augustin lived at the line ... quite literally. One FGA, 13 points. He tied an NBA record for most points with just one FGA, joining Tony Allen, Robert Traylor and Donald Royal. A truly magical class.
