Marcus Smart is not happy with the Memphis Grizzlies' start to the season.

With the Grizzlies trailing in the fourth quarter Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Smart appeared to be yelling at his teammates during a timeout.

Smart appeared to yell, "It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing!" a couple of times. The Grizzlies came out and went on a run, trimming the Timberwolves' lead to 12 before Minnesota reset and closed the game out.

The former Boston Celtics guard was traded to Memphis before the start of this season. He has been out with an injury since Nov. 14.

The 119-97 loss was the fourth straight defeat for the Grizzlies, who still have not won a home game all season. They're back in action Wednesday against the Utah Jazz at FedExForum.

Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said after the game that he understands his team's frustration.

"I don't know exactly what was said, but I love the fire," Jenkins said. "We need that fire. I'm glad he's bringing that fire."

Added forward David Roddy: "He is right. It's just the simple things. You don't want to lose a game on the simple things. You don't want to lose a game on beating yourself."
