The Memphis Grizzlies do not miss former head coach Mike Fratello.

"We have more freedom now," said Memphis guard Chucky Atkins before Tuesday night's game against the Lakers at FedExForum. "Everything is looser than before."

Pointing to players near him in the locker room watching videos and laughing, Atkins said, "You see how everybody around here is talking and joking. You would have never seen that before."
