I thought his all-around play was very good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Grimes posted a career-best 33 points in the Dallas loss and he rebounded from a poor shooting night (1-for-10) against the Spurs with 19 points in his Houston homecoming. McBride missed 24 of 32 field-goal attempts overall on the trip, but Thibodeau likes the defensive intensity the two second-year guards bring to the rotation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrimes was terrific. And I thought even though Deuce didn\u2019t shoot the ball well, I thought he played a really good game, too,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cI thought the defense of Deuce and Quentin was outstanding. And so everyone has a role. For those guys they can impact the game greatly with their defense and they usually do.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
