Pending the outcome of the Warriors-Bulls game, the Suns are now tied for the second-best record in the league.

Suns had seven in double figures, three others with eight or more points.
Nice balance.

First time I've watched most of a Grizzlies game this season. JJJ looks more like Jerami Grant than Anthony Davis to me. A team is probably in great shape if he's the 3rd best guy, but nothing special if he's the 2nd best.

"Thanks AIG for such a professionally done GameDay thread. This was the best Suns victory this season. Bravo!"
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

If only we could play the Grizzlies every nightFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 8:16 pmI'll be honest, when I said I thought this game would be entertaining, I didn't have a 25-point Suns win in mind.
49/48/100 shooting splits is a recipe for 98-0. Why don't they just do that every game?

Memphis is a young team on the rise. They had a bad shooting game and were without Dillon Brooks.

Usually they save the bad shooting games for when Dillon Brooks plays.

I feel like they’re treading water a bit. Which I can sorta understand. They’ve been performing above their heads the last couple years, but it seems like they are content to be mediocre for now. That Jonás Valunciunas/Steven Adams swap was a head scratcher to me. I know they’re young but Ja is ready now. Feel like they should be trying to ascend.LazarusLong wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 8:24 pmMemphis is a young team on the rise. They had a bad shooting game and were without Dillon Brooks.

Still isn't a lot of talent around Ja. JJJ isn't the #2 guy/big they probably thought he'd be.
Re: Game Day: Suns (7-3) at Grizzlies (6-5), Friday 11/12/21
No, he’s still more hype than player. The skills are there though…problem is the offense isn’t as unique if he can’t play the 5 and so far he can’t. He’s a lanky wing at this point.
They’ve got some nice 4th-7th type rotation guys(Melton, Bane, slo-mo, Jones) but ya, they’re lacking a real running mate for Ja

Memphis has the tools to run, save for Adams, who slows the pace.

Phoenix was up, 90-52, at one point in the third quarter ...

I know it’ll never happen but Slomo is on my list of guys I’d like to acquire, in addition to Barnes and Thad.

Ridiculous 2mins to end the half
Nonchalant sloppy play started to creep in
Last time we ended a half like that we came out in the 3rd still "too Kool for Skool"

Remember when we used to struggle against athletic teams like the Grizzlies?

Suns have the longest winning streak in the NBA at 7.
