Grizzlies @ Suns Wednesday game thread, October 29th, 2025

[Dback Jon]

The last two shots were the downfall of the team
Neither were good shots while in Memphis got their best player into position to have an open easy basket

jalen green is dying to get in there

Nah Ja chokes on those. Just poor defense by Allen.

To say the last two shots were our downfall is not right.

Playing certain players who obviously should not sniff the court is our downfall

Cedric Coward was the 11th pick in the 2025 draft.

He was 5-10 for 14 points.

Yeah we should be getting our rookies some minutes, even if 2 minutes at the end and beginning of quarters.

 

[Phrazbit]

This is fun

Still was fun… but… Booker was super clutch and then took 2 terrible shots.

 

[BirdGangThing]

williams gave 100% effort during all 9 of those last minutes

 

[DJ Tabooh]

What’s up yall. Sorry I’ve been MiA on the chat. First and foremost, I hope everyone is doing well.

That loss was a gut punch. We fought. Fought. Book was awful and then he was great…and then well yall watched the game.

Love the fight of this team. Gotta be better with the but the fight is definitely there.

I wish we’d have gone for a 2 point shot vs a step back three. Long season but we gotta win Friday.

We should’ve taken that rumored Pelicans trade down. They’re 0-4.

 

[BirdGangThing]

we played an entire game - had the lead at the half and the shot to win at the end - props to ott for that

No props to Ott. Stop playing Oso.

Yep.

Not even playing maluach either.

Yep. We are not even giving ManMan any burn. For some reason Oso is a better prospect to staff.

are you a richards guy or a microwave maluach guy?

 

[95pro]

are you a richards guy or a microwave maluach guy?

I’d like to see maluach. Richards could be okay if given some consistency with the group he plays with and minutes wise.

idk amigo - oso sucked in the second half tonight during that stretch - then richards came in and sucked while also fouling - im with you on maluach- him developing sooner would solve a lot of problems but i don't see ott putting him in close games this early

I would have liked a trade down, but that was awfully far.

It's hard to know who the Suns would have drafted at #23 (maybe Danny Wolf or Asa Newell) but that unprotected first round pick from the Pelicans would have been nice to keep or trade.

 

[Phrazbit]

Can we just get it over with and trade or cut richards now? We know he won't be here by march regardless.

Also, this Liver guy is awful. Everything about him screams "SUMMER LEAGUE!". Give Flemming a chance.

I know this is how it always is in the NBA, the vets play early and the young guys gotta "earn" their minutes, but Richards and Livery are just flat out trash, they are "earning" themselves a spot on the bench... or, more precisely, the waiver wire.

 

[Carolinacacti]

I'm not at practice but the two rookies should be getting min. Especially when two starters are out.

Yeah, I don't like that they're not getting minutes but maybe I mostly don't like the possibility that they haven't practiced well enough to demand those minutes.

Fleming is athletic and a good defensive player. If his game is still raw, he might be able to play at backup center, sort of like the way the Suns played Jalen Smith. Stix wasn't ready to play power forward when the Suns drafted him.

Jalen played center in college Flemming didn't. Flemming should be playing and I'm not happy about it

The NBA has mostly evolved into positionless basketball, mostly bigs, smalls and wings.

IMO, it's more important to look at what a player can do than put a label on them.

A quick look at the ending of the game last night.
