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

The Grizzlies aren’t going to make the same mistake twice and take us lightly again. In fact, they’re riding a nine game winning streak after losing to us. My understanding is that Shamet will return for this one.

Well, if Shamet's back, we got this. #ShamGod #ShamWOW #TeamSham #ShamSports

Yeah, they're going to smoke us by 20 tonight. Plus Memphis on MLK day? Can the Suns just stay on the bus?

Unlike the Montgomery Bus Boycott? In honor of Rosa Parks?

[ShelC]

Good start with Mikal posting Ja and getting the layup on a drop step and Saric with a low post layup and a 3. He's getting his legs back under him a bit these last few games.

[Drewsprocket]

Super Dario just connecting all over the place.

[ShelC]

We're gonna see 35minutes of Landry bricking open shots instead of DWJ.

Memphis blitzing Mikal with the ball is smart. He can't handle that pressure.

[Split T]

We look good…we learning some stuff without Book/CP3. Mikal looks great. Ayton just taking jumpers but he’s hit a few this time at least. Saric continues his coming out party

[Shabazz]

Mikal looking really good.

Saben over DWJ in the rotation.

[ShelC]

Saban Lee pushing the ball well and has us playing faster. A lot of pop and bounce from the team. Monty going big with Jock and DA in the lineup. DA still settling for 15-17ft jumpers.

[Shabazz]

Saben looks really steady.

[djy2j]

"(Saben) Lee playing better as of late." Literally no announcers ever know anything going on with the Suns. So annoying.

Yeah Spiro, he was in a slump after he lost his shoes in a blizzard in Buffalo New York but then he paid his own Uber driver to drive him to the game here in Memphis in honor of his great grandfather John T. Memphis...see I just made all that up and neither one made a bit of sense.

[Shabazz]

Ayton at least looks active, though you'd love him to attack the basket just a little.

(that pnr with Mikal was nice)

[Split T]

9/4/2/2 on 100% shooting for Mikal…did have 2 TO.

Ayton 3/5 from the field for 6 points.

[ShelC]

Good 1st qtr but a few TOs off miscommunications. Still think we need DWJ for his IDGAF mentality on offense that can put a team on its heels but that doesn't seem to fit what we do.

[Split T]

He might be nice with the 2nd unit. Need someone to score

[TOO]

Nice catch and go from Ayton. Wish he'd do that more.

[djy2j]

Adam's shoves Okogie into Aytons elbow and now he's in the locker room.

[wpmiller42]

I just think reckless plays like what Adams did should be a flagrant 1. Sure, there wasn't any intent, but that reckless play got Okogie injured.
