Game Day: Grizzlies (12-23) @ Suns (19-16), Sun 1/7/24

Post by Superbone »

Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBALP

Don’t let the Grizzlies record fool you. Ja is back. Finger guns and all. Marcus Smart is always tough as well. The Grizzlies embarrassed the Lakers in LA in their previous game. But then again, I just read that Morant is questionable for Sunday's game due to right shoulder soreness. For the Suns, Durant and Gordon are questionable and Bol (ankle) and Little are out. This is the last game of the Suns home stand before they hit the road. Their schedule becomes one of the toughest in the league from here on out.

I'm actively rooting on a Ja downfall.

Memphis is my least favorite team in the league and Ja is the biggest reason

Not too many grizzlies in Memphis that I know of. Hopefully, we slay one tonight.

They should have picked a different name. Maybe an Elvis themed name. The Hound Dogs.

Grizzlies are a great example of why a franchise's name should stay with the city when they leave, along with others like the Utah Jazz and LA Lakers.

Yep. LA Phonies would be much more appropriate. I like Nodack's Hound Dogs suggestion for Memphis and then how about Utah Tabernacles. Rolls off the tongue. ;)

I’m glad they did the right thing and kept the Sonics name for Seattle…I’m pretty excited for when they come back in the next couple years

But do you remember when they were the Tacoma Supersonics?

I don't because they are back to their original name in Charlotte where they originally started.

I didn't remember that but looked it up and they moved from Seattle to Tacoma for one season in 1994 and then back again.

ETA: But just read more on it and I don't believe they ever changed their name from the Seattle Supersonics. This was when their arena was being renovated and renamed to KeyArena from the originally named Seattle Center Coliseum.

That is correct. And they didn't actually change their name. That was just my pet name for them while they were there that season. I had a buddy that I worked with at the time who was from Seattle and he was a huge Sonics fan. I used to annoy him by calling them that when we talked basketball.

You could get a jersey though! Maybe send him one. :P
