Suns @ Grizzlies Friday game thread 11-12-2021

[Finito]

Really good test tonight to see where this team is after a six game winning streak where they haven’t looked overly impressive the majority of the time.

That said, maybe it doesn’t say that much because eventually Ayton will be a difference maker one way or another once he’s inserted back in the lineup.

Yeah never in my life has a 7 game win streak pissed me off so much

But we shouldn’t need Ayton for the Grizz there a scrappy bunch but we got way more talent

They seem to have the mentality of a "flip the switch" team, but they won't be able to come back from down 10+ night after night. It's already cost them a game or 2 and nearly a couple more.

I hope as the year goes on and rotations start to tighten up this will get resolved.

Hard to believe they're 7-3.

 

[Phrazbit]

In the next 18 days the Suns are going to play 11 games, 7 of those on the road.

It does make sense to be conservative with players health.

 

[Mainstreet]

Landry Shamet will play tonight. Deandre Ayton is out.

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off time is near.

 

[Mainstreet]

JaVale McGee looks like he is wearing sunglasses tonight. They have a darker shade.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder opens the game hitting a three.

 

[Mainstreet]

McGee with two fouls at the 10:04 mark of 1st quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns leading 13-7.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder has 6 points going 2-2 from three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Frank blocks Adams. Nice.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder passes up a wide open three and of course the Suns turn the ball over.

 

[Mainstreet]

Melton fouling Paul and finally the referees make the call.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns leading 25-16 with 3:06 in 1st.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne with the three with lots of family in attendance.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson hits the wide open three. It would be great to see him have a good game.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 36 - Grizzlies 23

 

[Finito]

Great 1st

 

[Finito]

Melton fouling Paul and finally the referees make the call.

That was a joke

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a joke

Yeah. Paul was getting mugged. He finally made the referees call it.

 

[Proximo]

Suns looking real good so far. Hope it continues.

 

[Mainstreet]

JaVale with different protective eyewear. It's clear but he picks up third foul just like that.
