Game Day: Suns (16-36) @ Grizzlies (32-22), Wed 2/8/17

[The Bobster]

Down by 17 with just over a minute left and the starters are still in.

Down by 17 with just over a minute left and the starters are still in.

I'm impressed by Watson's Wooden-like wisdom ...

What a strategist. What a leader of men.

"Follow me, like lemmings to the sea ..."

[The Bobster]

Interesting thing is that there are six suns on the court during the altercation. That isn't good.

[The Bobster]

Ulis and Chriss ejected.

[LazarusLong]

nucking futts ...

[carey]

Lose by 18.

You know, I almost said 19.

[The Bobster]

Technicals on Ulis, Williams, Chriss and Booker for the Suns and Daniels and Green for the Grizzlies.

Watson has mastered the craft of falling asleep with his eyes open. I see no coaching from him all game. No words of advice to young players. Just sits/stands there in a coma

Wow. Just when you think it couldnt get more embarrassing, the 1:10 mark of the 4th happens. Like what in the actual fuck was that? That looked really bad on the Suns players. Len will be suspended a game. I could see Ulis out as well. Where was Watson during all that? And when the kids got ejected they seemed happy with themselves. Maybe im overracting but that didnt feel right.

A few things about that shit show of a game:

The Grizzlies announcers mentioned several times that Len should be playing more on a team that is 20 games under .500 they saaid frankly all the kids should.

This team is getting worse. The play is getting sloppier. The veterens are playing more.

We are in a really dark place. Chandler or Len has to go at the deadline.

Why is this franchise so inept at picking a fucking direction?

Who the hell is Troy Daniels to be talking ****? Some scrub on the Grizzlies thinks he can talk **** after hitting a fluke ass 3?

Did he just get pulled up from the D league, never heard of him before in my life.

Props to Derrick Jones Jr for trying to pull Booker back or else Booker would've got ejected too.

He's a player from a playoff team who is up on the Suns by 20. This squad is a joke. Zero coaching tonight.

Uh, yeah. And the score of the game was...?

It doesn't take "nerve" to talk trash to a trashy team that you're trashing. When you put up a -22 and get mocked by an opponent, the mocking isn't what should concern you.

Yeah but he isn't some big part of their team.

I think guys like Embiid, Towns, Wiggins, Porzingis, Russel, Randle would all probably react similarly as Booker if a scrub like Daniels is talking **** to them just because the Grizzlies have a better team than those guys do.

Thank you. Someone else seeing what I see. That is what really bugs me about Watson. He averaged 37 wins in his playing career. His first partial year as coach, 9 wins. This maybe 25. This guy is used to losing and it shows. The blank stare and no emotion. He walks off the court, after each loss, like it was just another day in the office. I want him to be yelling at somebody, kicking some chairs and getting into players faces that continue to suck.

That is what gets me irritated about Alex Len as well. A player that has struggled with virtually no passion. I like players to play with passion. Is he following his leader?

What is strange is that I remember Watson as a nasty competitive little SOB when he played. What happened?

And Booker's the top guy on a top 5 lottery pick team. He hasn't accomplished anything.

He's not even our top guy. He's the second-best player on the second-worst team in the league.

He's still accomplished more than Daniels. It's one thing if it was Conley, Gasol, ZBo or even Allen that was talking but this is Troy Daniels.

And saying he hasn't accomplished anything because his teams sucks ass means that Towns, Embiid, Porzingis, Russel and Randle have all not accomplished anything either right?

It's not like Booker was ass tonight either, he had 20 pts on 50% shooting and 3 assists on a day in which every other Suns player couldn't make jack s^*t.

Looks like Coach needs to call an emergency yoga session! That should straighten everything out.
