Suns coming off a deflating loss. Grizz mad about GS punking them. Grizz by 30+. This team is out of heroics until James Jones is done sitting on his hands. Dude refuses to use an open roster spot in this situation with all the injuries, Crowder away, and Saric unable to play NBA caliber basketball. My patience is running thin. I realize the whole "games in December don't matter" but when you get dog walked every game by your playoff competitors that shit will show up mentally in March and April.

Just like the Suns did to the Mavs last post season, right?

Going big with the starting lineup - CP, Mikal, TC, Jock and DA.

So who gets to deal with Adams, Jock or DA? He always kills us on the boards.

This team better not get killed on the boards…that’s a massive lineup and they better make up for what’s going to be an ugly offense by crashing the glass…let’s just say I’ll be very surprised if this is a win. We should get slaughtered

I’m not really sure why Brooks gets so much leeway to play physical defense. He’s fouling every single play right now

Winning with defense so far…that’s really how we’ll have to do it

Memphis currently sleep walking due to knowing how injured the Suns are coming in.

Why is Dillon Brooks such a whiny bitch?

I don't have any trouble disliking Dillon Brooks. He's a loud, shot chucking Josh Okogie.

Grizzlies are easily the least likeable team in league, surpassing the Dubs. So many cocky dudes who've done nothing.

Wow! Couldn't ask for a better performance from this lineup tonight. Grizz going to come out passed so hopefully they weather the storm.

We wasted too many possessions to open the 3rd while the Grizz were missing shots. Could've had the lead well over 20. Now the Grizz are starting to score and the lead is 11. Our offense hasn't been great but it's been working because the Grizz have been cold. Won't stay that way.
Also too much CP dominating the ball. Might need to lean on DWJ and Okogie more in the 2nd half.

We should win any game when Okogie scores in double figures
