Price Leads Grizzlies To Run of Three Straight Victories
He may be 33, but Mark Price continues to amaze
After starting the season 0-14, the Vancouver Grizzlies have suddenly found winning footing in reeling off three straight triumphs in a homestand. The first victim was the Philadelphia 76ers, flattened by 18 on Mark Price's 33 points and 2 steals on 10/16, 4/6 from 3 point, and 9/10 from the charity stripe, Reggie Lewis's 21 points, 4 assists, and 3 blocks, and Hersey Hawkins rounding out the dynamite with 25 points and 2 steals. Next to go down were the Cavaliers, as Vancouver shut them down on defense and strolled to a 103-87 win keyed by Price (32 points, 7 assists, 2 steals, a block), Lewis (21 points), and Hawkins (21 points, 10 rebounds, a steal, 3 blocks). The latest conquest - Houston - a 106-94 topping once again powered by Price, who had 34 points, 14 assists, and 4 steals, Lewis with 24 points scored, and a 10 point, 13 rebound, 2 block outing by Sam Perkins.
Grizzlies GM Jestor continued to insist that all players are available for trade, but despite the sensational season being put forward by Price, Lewis, and Hawkins in particular, there have been no callers. The team reportedly checked in on Jamal Mashburn, but the Clippers declined interest when it was discovered the Grizzlies refused to discuss any 1st round picks in a potential deal for Monster Mash. "It's going to be hard slogging," admitted a team employee on condition of anonymity. "Tale as old as time itself - a guy hits 30 and suddenly everyone slashes their value to pennies on the dollar, even if he's the guy who can bring you that championship ring. But we're not going to hold a fire sale - we're perfectly fine letting guys walk and just freeing up roster spots and cap space, too."
No one in the GAH seriously thinks the Grizzlies will get off the bottom floor this season or any time soon, but after years of mismanagement gutted a young core and surrendered precious draft capital, that simply isn't going to happen anymore. Not with a GM who wears two Eastern Conference champion rings and built the inaugural worst team, the New York Knicks, into one of the GAH's signature franchises in the early 1980s.
