Marc Gasol made his debut in the NBA ... with defeat

He started the season (almost) all the teams in the NBA and could not miss the debut of Marc Gasol with the Memphis Grizzlies. I expected a season like the many who spent his brother in the Tennessee franchise, losing.

However, Marc Gasol's debut can not complain it did. The result of 82-71 to the Houston Rockets can not get discourage after a fantastic double-double in his first game. 12 points and 12 rebounds, won the Catalan, especially in mind that in front of him were Yao Ming, Ron Artest, Tracy McGrady and Luis Scola, who is a sophomore with great experience, as we all know of his seasons with Tau Vitoria. Indeed, the Argentine had published 12 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.

The Grizzlies have a problem above all others: the lack of experience. Only during the three years that reached the playoffs had experienced players who could pull the car in difficult times, or have a wardrobe together. But now Memphis Grizzlies have a rookie starting lineup virtually: OJ Mayo (who pulled up his slippers, 0 of 7 triples) and s on rookies Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Rudy Gay were sophomores, and Darko Milicic is the year of LeBron James but has played little in the NBA.

So, what's up to Marc Gasol is to collect minute, picked up, and grow as a player, something he can do for someone who already knows too well what being MVP of the ACB.
