Grizzlies @ Suns 11-4-18

[Mainstreet]

Sunday the Grizzlies visit the Suns for a 6 p.m. Arizona time game.

The game is scheduled to be televised on FSAZ.

Duane Rankin at azcentral gives a breakdown of the game:


Outlook: Phoenix (1-7) lost its sixth straight game Friday night, 107-98, to Toronto at Talking Stick Resort Arena while Memphis (5-2) won its third straight, 110-100, at Utah. … Devin Booker scored 18 points against the Raptors in his return from missing three games with a hamstring injury while Isaiah Canaan scored 19 points in his return from an ankle injury suffered at Oklahoma City last weekend. …. The Grizzlies beat Phoenix by 21 points at home last weekend as they had five players score in double figures. … Rookie 7-footer Deandre Ayton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft, posted his fifth double-double in eight games with 17 points and a career-high 18 boards against Toronto. He’s averaging 16.9 points and 11 rebounds this season. … Memphis will be the first opponent Phoenix has played for a second time this season as this is the third of a five-game homestand for the Suns. They play Brooklyn on Tuesday and Boston on Thursday before returning to the road to face New Orleans and Oklahoma City.

I have bad back spasms. I will try and tough out watching. Blew my back out today.

Ah that sucks.

But you think you can play today?

It may be a game time decision.

I feel for you Yuma. Hope your back geys better and you can enjoy the game.

It looks like Warren will not play tonight. Ryan Anderson will start at power forward.

[Mainstreet]

So Anderson may get some minutes at backup center.

This is an opportunity for Bender as well.

I hope Bridges gets a lot of time tonight. Also FREE BENDER

I’m sick of Ryan Anderson. Every season it seems like the Suns have some crappy over priced player that they force into the lineup to try and get their money’s worth.

If the Suns don't win tonight, the Nets game is their next past chance to win on Tuesday.

After the Nets, the Suns schedule is brutal beginning with the Celtics visiting on Thursday.

It only gets tougher.

Ryan Anderson rebounding underneath the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like Anderson giving some inside play.

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought Ayton blocked that shot that went awry.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton does not have a shot yet in the 1st quarter. He is now out of the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes battling for a basket inside and gets the +1.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Grizzlies 28 - Suns 21

I'm not sure what to make of Ayton not taking a shot in 1st quarter.

 

[BC867]

Good to see Ariza get off to a good start (which he does at home). Pretty even throughout the 1st quarter, but Grizz open it to a 7-point lead to end the quarter with a 14-3 scoring run.

Unless their 3-pointer at the buzzer was too late. Nope, it counted.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes is playing well getting another basket. Assist from Jackson.

 

[Finito]

Ugly game really ugly

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton checks back into the game at about 9:43 of 2nd quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with a nice shot underneath.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton still without a shot at 7:41 mark of 2nd quarter.

Timeout: Grizzlies up 38 - 33.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm glad someone else has noticed.
