Game Day: Suns (8-12) @ Grizzlies (11-9), Sun 12/6/15

Post by Superbone »

Time: 1:30 pm AZ (12:30 pm PT / 3:30 pm ET)
Place: FedExForum, Memphis, TN
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

At least we shouldn't have to worry about blowing a lead in this one. I'm prepared for total domination by the Grizz. Looking forward to some laughs courtesy of Kieff.

Go Suns!!!

Ah, good point. Pencil him in for 20 and 10. I hope he starts over Kieff.

How is he gonna get 20 and 10 when Hornacek will end up only playing him for 20mins? ;)

We are 2-8 in our last 10. I don't think any game can be penciled in as a likely win any more, especially with one of our rotation players literally actively trying to sabotage our chances of winning. Grizz are a good team. We'll probably go small on them inexplicably and give up 97 rebounds per half. I don't like how we match up with them (combined with how we'll probably coach and set our lineups against them). This one feels like a loss to me.

Every game versus the Grizz feels like a loss. They own us.

I'm sensing a sour mood. :D

I accept the fact that we aren't getting anywhere near the playoffs in our current state. It's all about seeing growth on our team, especially the young guys.

Kieff is a cancer. I see us maybe squeaking into the playoffs if he wasn't here but, still not getting past the first round. With him it seems like he is almost actively trying to sabotage our team and brings the whole vibe of the team down. Part of me thinks Kieff is enjoying the fact that he is hurting the team. As fans we have no control over anything and can only watch.

With that in mind my #1 rule comes into play. Never stress about things you have no control over. It only creates more stress and stress is bad for you. When the season is over the year will boil down to did we improve the players on the team that are part of our future as much as we could. That's it.

I am going to try to watch the game and treat it as entertainment and not get pissed of when things go bad. I'll let you know how that goes. :D

Ohm... ohm... ohm...

Lord (or Ra or whatever) give me strength to endure another Suns game. And while we are at it, may Priapus give our guys what it takes to finish the job.

A likable guy who couldn't get playing time in their loaded front court gets traded away for a second rounder and returns as a starter. Must be fun.

(The pick was used on a twin who played for Kentucky. Can you believe we passed on that?)

Good start for the Suns. Now to see how it works out after Morris checks in.

Teletovic has spent way too much time on the court (Knight too, but had a good start). How about you use PJ at PF a little, Hornacek?

Being down 5 feels like being down 15 against Memphis. We can't hit a three any more.

Looks like the Suns are finally growing a pair. I wonder who made the call.

Was the front office forcing Coach to play him or did the front office get tired of Coach giving Morris minutes and told Coach to bench him.

I really feel like Booker's shot is going in every time.

Booket at three so Price plays alongside Bledsoe.

He is probably out with a strained pinky or hurt feelings.
