Grizzlies limping into All-Star break

[La Bomba]

When asked to assess their psyche at this point in the regular season, the Grizzlies' starters independently offer up the same word: fatigued.

 

There is little doubt that the Grizare gasping as they crawl to the NBA's All-Star Weekend, and the five-day break can't get here soon enough.

 

Memphis (26-24) has dropped three straight games for the first time since beginning the season 1-8, which included a seven-game losing streak. The Grizzlies' loss last Saturday at Minnesota also was their fifth in the past six games.

 

Memphis, which had won 15 of its previous 19 contests to ascend to a seventh seed in the Western Conference postseason standings, now sits 21/2 games back from the eighth and final playoff spot.

 

"We're going through a little adversity right now. Similar to what we had earlier in the season but on a smaller scale," Griz point guard Mike Conley said. "We just have to learn how to fight through this. We're going to get a win. We just have to keep on fighting and keep on working."

We can get backed to normal once we get a bench.
