Game Day: Suns (19-26) @ Grizzlies (21-24), Sun 1/26/20

Post by Superbone »

Time: 4:00 pm AZ (3:00 pm PT/6:00 pm ET)
Place: FedExForum, Memphis, TN
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

The revenge tour continues in Memphis. The Grizzlies have won 8 of 11 in January. The Suns are going to have to bring their defensive intensity once again if they're going to have a chance to win.

Go Suns!!!

Raptors won in San Antonio so winning this could really be big but don't like our energy so far 😔

Just not there at all for the Suns so far but the damage isn’t too bad on the scoreboard...yet. We are doing a good job of causing turnovers but not getting much return on them. Scoring clearly a big issue as we are struggling with their d.

I just hate our offensive flow so far. It just looks like street ball out there. Are they trying to run any plays or any particular offense?

This guy Melton on the Grizz looks good. I wonder if they'd take Carter for him. Nah, probably not, they wouldn't be that stupid.

Didn't Ayton have the lil jumper down last season ??
He just rushes it all the time and his % on those shots seem really low

Monty seems to think he gets paid for squirreling away those coach's challenges.

Use them!

If Booker is wide open, you should probably pass it to him, Mikal.

Grizzlies are kind of a funhouse mirror version of what the Suns could have been. Drafting JJJ rather than Ayton. Lucking into the #2 pick and taking Morant. Drafting Clarke rather than Cam. Not saying that the Suns should have done all of those things, but it's interesting to see them doing well. Ja Morant is such a great prospect; I've said elsewhere that I wish we had Ayton + Morant more than I wish we had picked Luka in 2018.

This kind of loss basically kills our playoff hopes. Losing to another team vying for the 8 seed is not how you make a late-season run.

Getting pretty tired of seeing us get next to nothing out of Bridges night in and night out.

It would be such a game-changer if he was a volume, knock-down 3-point shooter like he was in college.
