In eight games this season, Gay is averaging 13.3 points on 48.9 percent shooting from the field and an outstanding 56.3 percent from behind the arc. During his 28 minutes per contest, he’s tacking on 7.9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.1 steals on a nightly basis. Luckily, it doesn’t seem like Gay’s injury is quite as severe as his last two, as ESPN’s Michael C. Wright reported that “Pop sort of made it sound like this might be more of a veteran rest day.” This is great for a Spurs unit that has turned lots of heads in the competitive western conference. It’s easy to brush aside early-season losses and chock it up to chemistry issues, but the truth of the matter is that poor losses early in the season have long-term effects on playoff seeding at the end of the regular season.įor San Antonio to keep the train running, they’ll need Gay back healthy and available to contribute on a nightly basis.Regardless of how you live your life, everyone has sports regrets. Whether they are games you didn't get to attend, or ones you left to early, trades your team didn't make, or ones they never should have, they all lead us to the same question, "What if.?" What if the Braves had a legitimate closer in the 90's? What if they never traded for Mark Teixeira? What if Sam Holbrook actually understood what the infield fly rule was? (Can anyone hold me?) No matter how much success a franchise has, somewhere along the lines, you always come across a "What if," and for the Memphis Grizzlies, there is an extremely big one. "What if the Memphis Grizzlies never drafted Hasheem Thabeet?" That's too easy. Plus, I think every Grizzlies' fan has this conversation every time Steph Curry drains a 3-pointer, or every time James Harden crosses someone up, or literally all day every day at all points of life. Oh no, for the "what if." I'm talking about, we have to go all the way back to the year 2011.
