MikeCheck: Grizzlies determined to overcome foul mood amid push to lay defensive foundation

MEMPHIS – For the most part, the Grizzlies refuse to sugarcoat a bitter reality that has encumbered their progress at times early this season.

They’ve been in a foul mood far too frequently.

“We haven’t been getting screwed like we think we have, when we look back and watch the film,” veteran forward Jae Crowder said, flatly. “Offenses are at an advantage in this league right now, and it’s a different style of play. But from our standpoint, we’ve been fouling. I’m not even going to sugarcoat it as it’s a league thing or a referee thing.
