On Saturday the Suns travel to play the Grizzlies in Memphis. The Grizzlies are 2-2 on the season.

It doesn't get any better on Sunday when the Suns play at the win less Thunder.

The Grizzlies game will be an early start with a game time of 5 p.m. Arizona time. It will be televised on FSAZ.

I think this is a good thing. It didn't make sense to me why Okobo or Melton wouldn't always be active with the Suns point guard situation.

This is not good news.

If Booker and Ayton do not play, it will be difficult to win not that it wasn't already.

Booker is out for this game. JJ will get the start. Igor says the offense will go through Ayton more with Book out.

It's hard to see Booker sitting for the Grizzlies game and coming back the next night to play against the Thunder.

Ayton going against Gasol and then Adams. I certainly can see Adams giving Ayton some trouble.

Steven Adams is a scary person, period.

Actually, the Grizzlies game tomorrow (Saturday) is listed for FSAZ Plus.

Sunday's and Wednesday's games are back on FSAZ, with Wednesday's also on ESPN.

Another Suns game on ESPN this early in the season? I think that's all Ayton. Either that or they're conducting an Ugly Basketball contest. :)

For you younger guys, some fraternities back in the day would award a prize to the brother who brought the ugliest girl to a frat party -- without telling the girls.

I'm really happy to say that my chapter didn't sink that low.

Ayton and Anderson are now listed as probable. Josh Jackson may start in Booker's place.

The spacing is the first unit will be awful with Jackson starting. Not sure why Warren didn’t get the nod especially with the way he’s been playing.

Thankfully the Grizzlies are one of the worst teams in the league so we may still have a fighting chance.

??? Seriously? Without Booker? Aren't they 2-2 and didn't they just win in Utah? Without Booker and with Ayton still hobbled by the ankle sprain I doubt we could win in Utah if they spotted us the first quarter. I don't expect this will be a pretty game for us Suns fans. Hope I'm wrong.

Just so it's clear, without Booker, I believe we are easily the worst team in the NBA. With him, we're in a battle for last with 3 or 4 other teams.

I think if you ran with Booker, Bridges, Josh, Warren and Ayton they could run with anyone. Now if you wanted to play more then one QT if would get ugly.

I think if you played that group for a few months they COULD become competitive regularly but I don't think they are they yet. As I've said, I believe in the future of most of these guys but right now we are a very bad team.

Hey twitter people - post the ayton tweet where he says he wants to be the alpha dog on defense for the Suns now. Like he's reading our posts!

They showed it on Suns Pregame. I cannot find it.

It's so quiet at the arena. There must not be many people in attendance.
