Just as soon as we thought Zach Randolph could do no wrong, he submitted a really bad performance in the Grizzlies' loss to the Thunder. He shot just 2-13, and only got to 15 points because he drew a lot of fouls. The painted area, which has been Randolph's domain for the last seven playoff games, belonged to Oklahoma City.
Grizzlies Vs. Thunder: Zach Randolph Finally Has A Bad Game
So what gives? As it turns out, sometimes, Randolph’s lack of size can be a problem. He had five shot attempts at the rim on Tuesday ... and he missed all five. It’s hard to bash Randolph for that, because the Thunder defense is what really changed from Game 1 to Game 2. But it’s also a reminder that we have to be careful crowning our new heroes. They can have bad games too, and they can run into a team that has the right mix to stop them.
I guess we’ll find out whether Game 2 was an example of the former or the latter.
