Game Day: Suns (21-23) @ Grizzlies (29-13), Mon 1/16/23

[Split T]

I must be missing something, that didn’t look like much from Adams at all

[djy2j]

Of course Morant who is shooting 30% on the yeR has 5 threes already

[djy2j]

Lee didn't hit Morant with either elbow. Nice try though.

Correct. It was Ayton's inadvertent elbow that clobbered Okogie.

[djy2j]

Curious to know how many players have been injured in plays involving Steven Adams.

[djy2j]

At halftime Barkley stated how he doesn't think the Suns like each other. If there's any truth to that I would translate that to teammates are probably sick of Ayton and his lack of production. They may be sick of Chris Paul in some way also but these are just my thoughts based on Barkleys take.

[ShelC]

That's a weird and interesting observation. Not sure how connected he is to the team or what he knows. I could see frustration between some players, but it doesn't seem like there's "dislike".

I agree. I don't really buy into it. But if there's any truth to it those are my hunches.

[djy2j]

Saric just having an awful 2 mins

[carey]

Fun first half anyway. GG.

[Flagrant Fowl]

If it weren't for his connections in Phoenix, I wouldn't put much stock in Barkley's takes about the Suns.

I don't really buy the "they don't like each other narrative", but it's reasonable for guys to be frustrated when the three highest paid players all have issues at the moment. Chris Paul is old, Booker will miss about a month of games, and Ayton overpaid by about $10M.

I also think losing significantly exacerbates this stuff. I won't be surprised when there's a big roster shake up in 6 months after the ownership transition is finalized.

[djy2j]

Ayton just refuses to attack the basket in any situation but being wide open

[ShelC]

Monty needs to shave his mustache and not play Shamet ever again. I'm trying my best not to just completely lose it with his bum fucking ass.

[djy2j]

Ayton with some disastrous effort on D this quarter. Suns down big now. This one's over.

[TOO]

Landry Shamet and his one good game a month needs to be shoved in a cave somewhere for the duration of his contract.

Will go down as one of the worst Suns tenures of all time when it's done (hopefully soon).

Uh, no. He's been disappointing, but I can probably name about 20 or so that were worse.

[Split T]

This is a perfect game to not bring Mikal back in for..let him rest

Yeah but take into account his contract and he's this bad. I mean Josh Childress comes to mind as being worse as well as a certain unnamed Australian center but I can't think of too many more.
