La Bomba Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 He emerged from the showers breathing hard after logging 22-plus NBA minutes, which might as well had been two hours of running on a treadmill for Jamaal Tinsley. The veteran point guard was definitely feeling the wow factor of trying to find a gear that can only be found in professional basketball. "I'm not at L.A. Fitness anymore," Tinsley said with a sheepish grin, referring to the place he spent most of the 1 1/2 years he'd been out the league. Tinsley, though, is rounding into shape for the Grizzlies. The 31-year-old floor general, signed as a free agent nearly two weeks ago, is averaging 9.5 points on 47-percent shooting to go with 2.5 assists over the past two games. The Griz consistently logged about 22 minutes off the bench during that span. Tinsley's role will continue to expand with significant playing time as Griz coach Lionel Hollins is enamored with the former Indiana Pacers' savvy and calming influence. Those characteristics can only help the Griz as they continue a five-game road trip tonight at the Portland Trail Blazers. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/...rning-his-role/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bomba Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 He's been our best point guard so far. As long as he continues to play well and not cause any problems. I'm alright with the signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
