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

[Flagrant Fowl]

Pretty cool how the NBA added a "flopping" violation this year but the officials refuse to make the call.

[Kryptonic]

Big D Nurk game incoming!

[Mori Chu]

It sure is nice to see the Big 5 (Book, KD, Beal, Allen, Nurk) all out there playing together.

[Mori Chu]

I think watching JJJ play makes me madder about Ayton than watching Luka does. Ayton should have been the more effective player, the more crucial to his franchise. But somehow JJJ has stuck as a key guy in Memphis while DA got run out of town. We blew that #1 draft pick so bad, we didn't even get the SECOND best player at the top of the draft. Horrible.

[Mori Chu]

Book heating up.

[AmareIsGod]

Beal with 3 FGA? Come on Bradley! You've shown you're amazing. I wonder if it's a matter of him finding his comfort with Durant out there?

Trae Young is better than JJJ. Ayton might not even be top 5 at this point with Bridges and Brunson being better

[carey]

Tuning in late. How do we look?

[LazarusLong]

Okogie with four fouls in eight minutes.

Oof ...

The way they are playing now, Ayton isn't top 5. Not a bust but a disappointment still.

[carey]

These refs are not good. Kind of tired of saying that.

[wpmiller42]

I can't believe Grayson Allen is becoming one of my favorites on this team.

[TOO]

Has anyone seen Beal?

He's not top 5 in that draft, but I'd rather not get into that here.

[AmareIsGod]

Ewwwbanks looking good.

Fair. Forget I said anything lol.

[Split T]

I just turned it on for the 4th, but this is a pretty bad lineup with Lee, Metu, and KBD all out there…blew our 13 point lead pretty quick

[SunsSince92]

10-1 Memphis run to start the 4th...and they're back in the game.

[Split T]

How is that not a transition take foul?

[Split T]

And then Smart gets that call? Terrible
