Grizzlies-Kings Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies have big expectations for this season after signing Allen Iverson. The most pressure on Iverson might be coming from the 10-time All Star himself.

After sitting out the Grizzlies' first three games, Iverson is set to debut with his new team Monday night at the winless Sacramento Kings.

When Iverson signed with Memphis (1-2) in September, he was hardly the highly sought-after free agent he thought he deserved to be. The 33-year-old guard would agree to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Grizzlies amid questions about declining skills.

"This year for me is so personal," Iverson said after the signing.

"It's basically going to be my rookie season again. It hurts, but I turn the TV on, I read the paper, I listen to some of the things people say about me having the season that I had last year and me losing a step, things like that. They're trying to put me in a rocking chair already."

It didn't help that Iverson suffered a partially torn left hamstring during training camp, causing him to miss Memphis' first three games. He declined to speak with reporters Sunday night, saying he'll talk when he plays in a game.

In addition to the injury, Iverson will be looking to put a disappointing 2008-09 behind him. After spending most of his career with Philadelphia, Iverson was traded to Denver in 2006, and then to Detroit last November. He averaged 17.4 points in 54 games with the Pistons, before the team announced in early April that he was being shut him down with back problems - a decision that came shortly after Iverson publicly voiced his frustration with having to come off the bench.

While Iverson - expected to be part of a three-guard rotation with O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley - is looking to rejuvenate his career, the Grizzlies are hoping he can provide a veteran presence on a team that is coming off three consecutive seasons with fewer than 25 wins.

Memphis is looking to bounce back following a 133-123 loss to the Nuggets on Sunday. Coming off a win against Toronto, the Grizzlies shot 70 percent en route to 40 points in the first quarter, but fell behind 67-66 by halftime and couldn't regain control.

"I thought we were in good shape at halftime," said Mayo, who scored a career-high 40 points after finishing with a combined 27 in Memphis' first two games. "But in the third quarter it seemed like they scored for 10 or 12 straight minutes."

The Kings, meanwhile, return home after going winless on a three-game trip to start the season. Sacramento lost 113-94 to San Antonio on Sunday, falling behind by 16 points at the half and 21 early in the third quarter. Kevin Martin scored 29 points while Spencer Hawes added 22 and 10 rebounds off the bench. They were the only Kings to finish in double figures, however, while the Spurs shot 58.1 percent.

"It was over relatively early," first-year Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "Tonight was a good lesson for a young team. We were beating our heads against the walls trying to figure out how to beat this team and stay in the game."

Sacramento and Memphis split four meetings last season, with each winning once on the road. Iverson averaged 26.5 points in two games against the Kings in 2008-09.

Martin shoulders Kings' burden in home-opening win

By Jimmy Spencer, for NBA.com
Posted Tuesday November 3, 2009 2:26AM

Sacramento, Calif. (NBA.com exclusive) -- Kevin Martin has been here before.

Last season, the wiry scorer was knighted the future star of the Kings. Then, he led the Kings to their first win of the season in the team's home opener against Memphis.

A season later, with another young, winless team on his shoulders, he did it again. This time, Martin scored 48 points to lead Sacramento to a 127-116 overtime win over the Grizzlies.

"We always go on the road and struggle for many reasons, but we always find a way to come back home and win," Martin said. "There's something about being at home."

After forcing bad shots early, Martin began to find his flow within the offense in the second quarter. Playing his most efficient game of the season, the fifth-year shooting guard shot 14 of 27, including a career-best seven 3-pointers.

Martin hesitated to call Monday night a must-win, opting instead to call it a "much-needed" win. "We'll take all the wins we can get."

Memphis jumped out to an early 17-4 lead, as the Memphis frontcourt of Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay dominated the lane. The Grizzlies scored 20 of their 33 points in the paint in the quarter.

But third-year big man Spencer Hawes made an immediate impact off the Sacramento's bench. An inadvertent, yet emblematic smack to the chest of Randolph while fighting for post position proved the Kings wouldn't lay down in the paint.

Hawes was physical inside and helped move the ball well for the Kings, finishing with 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists and two blocks.

"Spencer showed why everyone thinks he can be such a good player," coach Paul Westphal said. "It wasn't his skills, it was his heart he showed tonight.

"We have to fight and scratch and have that be our trademark. He showed he is capable of that tonight."

Sacramento took a three-point lead with less than a minute to play on a Hawes midrange jumper with 45.3 seconds left. The big man delivered an emphatic message to his teammates after the shot, screaming: "Let's finish this!"

With 36.9 seconds remaining, Gay had other plans, though. He hit a 3-pointer from the baseline to tie the game and following an Omri Casspi turnover, Memphis took the lead on a Randolph jumper with 6.1 seconds left.

But Beno Udrih, who delivered an unexpected effort from the Kings bench, scored on a layup with 1.4 seconds left to send the game to overtime. From there, the Kings took over behind Martin, Omri Casspi and Andres Nocioni, who combined to score all 17 of Sacramento's points in overtime.

Kings first-round pick and starting point guard Tyreke Evans, who played despite an ankle injury, was limited to just three points. Udrih came through down the stretch, finishing with 16 points and six assists.

The rookie Casspi, Israel's first NBA player, is already a fan favorite in Sacramento. With a pair of fans waving an Israeli flag courtside and his father in attendance, Casspi displayed marksmanship from the 3-point line (3-of-4) and quickness inside as he finished with 15 points off the bench.

"It was the first time my Dad has seen me play in the NBA," Casspi said. "During the game I just looked at him and saw him smile. It just made my dream and obviously it is his dream too."

Allen Iverson made the announcement this morning on his Twitter page that he would make his Grizzlies debut. Iverson missed Memphis' first two games of the season and all of the preseason after partially tearing his left hamstring.

Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said before the game that he was simply looking to see where Iverson was in his ability to step in and help the team.

"In this situation we are trying to win the game but we also want to get him back and fit him in," Hollins said. "But we're not going to jeopardize the game for that."

The 34-year-old veteran came off the bench and did show flashes of the scorer he is known as, scoring 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting. He also showed some signs of rust early and never found his flow in the game.

At one point in the fourth quarter, he was quickly replaced by starting point guard Mike Conley after he passed up a jumper that led to a three-second violation.

"I've been playing basketball 26 years," Iverson said. "It's like riding a bike. That's what I do. I'm a professional at it. I felt like me out there."

Randolph had 30 points and 16 rebounds before fouling out in overtime.

"I think we gave ourselves a chance to win," Randolph said. "We have to clamp down. Once we get a team on their heels, we have to learn how to put them away. This is a game we definitely should have won."
