Grizzlies @ Suns Monday game thread 3-15-2021

[Mainstreet]

I don't want to see the Grizzlies out working the Suns. Phoenix needs to bring the effort for 48 minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's about time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker nails a jumper to tie the game at 2-2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grizzlies playing with energy. Suns trail 12-6. Feeling a bit like the Pacers game early.

Ayton just stands and watches valancunius. Disgusting

 

[Cheesebeef]

Again, Ayton just QUIT on defense. He guarded Morant well on the drive then just STOOD THERE watching as a Valacunas got multiple offensive boards. Didnt move. Just stood still WATCHING.

freaking infuriating.

freaking infuriating.

Until they get Ayton another big to play alongside him, this is what you can continue to expect. They either need to get another big, or they need to trade Ayton. The status quo in the frontcourt won't do.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need more of an inside game than Ayton and Saric.

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric enters the game and is playing along side Ayton.

 

[1Sun]

Suns need more of an inside game than Ayton and Saric.

That much is obvious...to everyone except James Jones...

 

[Mainstreet]

Now it's Kaminsky and Saric upfront for Suns.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ugly start, especially after Saturday’s ass kicking.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns trail 21-14 at 2:07 in 1st quarter.

Valanciunas with 11 points and 9 rebounds.

 

[Beaver]

If this team extends Ayton, I will be supremely upset. Total disappointment and he seems to be getting worse.

 

[1Sun]

Suns trail 21-14 at 2:07 in 1st quarter.

Valanciunas with 11 points and 9 rebounds.

Is anyone really at all surprised? The formula to beat this Suns team is obvious now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns needed that three from Payne.

 

[1Sun]

He hates being the lone big on the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Grizzlies 25 - Suns 24

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Holy crap, Valancius 11 and 9 in the first quarter.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Grayson Allen is so punchable

 

[1Sun]

End of 1st quarter:

Grizzlies 25 - Suns 24

Fortunate to be that close. If I am the Suns' opponent, I pound the paint on offense, clog the paint on defense and dare the Suns to beat me from three point land.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dario with the three!

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns take lead 31-30.

 

[Mainstreet]

Galloway sweet pass to Kaminsky.

Suns lead 35-32 at 9:23 in the 2nd.

Bench comes in and changes the energy. Nice,
