[Absolute Zero]

We do not match up well with the Grizz at all. But who knows, it could be our lucky night.

Grizzlies are one of those teams if we played them 100 times, they'd win 99 of them.

 

[Ronin]

Nice pass from Dragic to Bledsoe.
Conley is hurting the Suns.

 

[sunsfan88]

Annndd there's the typical Markieff Morris tech.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Seriously can't believe Kief got another technical... Incredible.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dragic has some unbelievable moves under the basket.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Len with some great defense!

 

[sunsfan88]

This team looks disgusting. Embarrassed.

IT-Green must have a combined basketball Iq of 2.

 

[sunsfan88]

It's amazing how bad our bench is. Dragic and Bledsoe come in and save the day.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Len being a BEAST on the offensive boards!!

 

[sunsfan88]

Pelicans will be down just 1 game out of the #8 spot after this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are a finesse team and as such they always have to be on their game to win. However, physical teams do not have to always be on their game if they continue to get easy shots inside and rebound. They can just wait for the Suns engine to malfunction.

If only they could make a free throw...

 

[Mainstreet]

If only they could make a free throw...

Really. Also whatever happened to Len. He used to make FTs and had a decent outside shot... no more.

 

[Mainstreet]

Please Steve Albert, give my ears a moment of silence.

 

[frankeegee1]

Nice little run by the Suns

 

[AzStevenCal]

98 - 93 so we have a good shot here but I'd be feeling better if we hadn't missed our first 7 free throws tonight.

[Mainstreet]

A battle of wills down the stretch. The Suns stay small and the Grizzlies go big. Which style will win?

 

[AfroSuns]

Suns need this win against this team

 

[AfroSuns]

Sucks, bad TO by Bled..but dude has been balling.

I'd say us if it was Wright in there instead of Marcus. With Marcus, I'm just not ever comfortable.

I agree.

Size wins. No interior defense, no rebounding.

Terrible officiating down the stretch mixed with the suns usual poor play late in games.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Such a tough loss...again! Same old issue - Suns just don't have a reliable stud to close out games. IT and Bledsoe were having a great 4th quarter, but in the final 3 mins, nothing... This one hurts as both the Pelicans and Thunder won... Damn!
