[Phrazbit]

Just turned it on and... wow... that was REALLY obvious goaltending.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grizzlies 60 - Suns 48

 

[Dback Jon]

Elfrid contributed! Lol

Yup. They would have given that to the Lakers, Warriors etc

 

[Proximo]

Suns don’t look right.

book needs to get hot or it’s over I think.

Yeah. Booker especially doesn't look right.

It may be a part of missing two starters which messes with the rotation.

Some halftime stats.

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench is three guards (Payne, Payton and Shamet) and Jalen Smith. Suns starters have to produce to win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Morant travels on shot and no call.

 

[Mainstreet]

Four fouls on McGee. This is not the night for it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Grizzlies leading 76-64.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul is 1-7 from field.

 

[Dback Jon]

Paul got fouled on that drive with no call

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns not able to make stops on defense. Paul's handle on the ball is suspect tonight.

 

[Dback Jon]

Book is getting screwed again

 

[Finito]

Look flat no energy at all tonight from the start

 

[Dback Jon]

Sit Payton. He sucks

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Getting worked at home following losing to the Warriors is awful.

Stix forgot who he was in first half but quickly remembered he sucks in second half.

Bridges and cams invisible.

Poor game by Javale.

Shamet continues to suck.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Grizzlies 89 - Suns 75

 

[Phrazbit]

Ayton is earning a max contract tonight. We reeeeeeeally miss him. Our screen and roll offense is struggling, we're getting obliterated on the glass and we can't defend worth poop.

Hopefully Booker and Paul heat up and we can steal one.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Stix doesn’t even go for the loose ball. Yeesh.

 

[Mainstreet]

How was that a foul on Cam Johnson?

 

[Dback Jon]

Payneton has been awful as usual

 

[Phrazbit]

Sit Payton. He sucks

He is so terrible. Dribbles into trouble constantly, slow finding open guys, seemingly always out of position on D and he might be the worst shooting guard in the NBA.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jalen for three!
