NBA Power Rankings, Week 10: Where every team stands ahead of Christmas Day matchups
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/p ... y-matchups
1. Phoenix Suns
2021-22 record: 24-5
Previous ranking: 1

Suns leading scorer Devin Booker made his return to the court on Sunday night after missing seven games with a hamstring injury. Phoenix put up a balanced effort without Booker, but one player in particular who stepped up his play was reserve forward Cameron Johnson. In 30.3 minutes per night in the seven contests, Johnson averaged 14.6 points and was Phoenix's second-leading scorer in that stretch. -- Lopez

Did they change the time of our Christmas game with GS? I thought it was a late game, now I’ll have to miss it because I’ll be at work. I’ll have to record it and watch later

Kinda surprised Chriss hasn’t been on a team. He played pretty solid for the Warriors in 19-20

It probably has a lot to do with his maturity level and behind the scenes stuff.

I don’t know, it seems like he put that stuff behind him. He had a pretty significant injury last year I think. Probably just related to that.

Obviously the next step here is that the Suns need to sign Dragan Bender to a contract.

I don't think either of us know, to be honest.

If he really did fix the shot, he's worth a look:

Hey, 'Bazz. I'm not familiar with Womp Womp. Any relation to Bol Bol? Do you think we have a shot at him?

So Grizz are a .500 team, then Ja gets hurt and Memphis goes 8-2 with him out. He comes back and they proceed to lose to the Thunder. I think it’s just flukey, but I don’t watch any Grizz games. Is there any reason Grizz would play better without Ja?

Just checked and he has a -14.8 on/off net rating this year, yikes. He was positive last year though. Also defense has been the issue. Memphis is awful defensively with him on and elite with him off.

Lies, dammed lies and statistics? I mean who trades Ja for nothing because they’re apparently better off without him?
