NBA: 5 Games not to miss in the rest of November

November 30: Memphis Grizzlies vs Brooklyn Nets

The change in head coach might have something to do with the Grizzlies struggling this season.

Two teams predicted to be title contenders, if not at least be placed at the top half of the league are struggling on the opposite half of the Conference.

Despite adding Mike Miller to the same core of players who lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the Conference Finals, the Grizzlies have struggled this season with a record of 3-4 in two weeks of action. Maybe the change in coaching staff had something to do with it but the Grizzlies’ last season league leading defense is now ranked 12th.

The Brooklyn Nets are not far behind. Other than the one point victory over the Miami Heat their performance this season has been nothing but disappointing. They have a starting line-up boasting of a total of 35 All-Star selections yet the team has struggled in the clutch to close out games. Their offense has struggled and early results on the performance of their stars acquired from Boston have been moderate.

Two struggling teams eager to rise to their expectations would certainly be an exciting one to watch. Also the contrasting styles of play. It will be a match-up between the Nets offense and Grizzlies defense.
