"We know the game against Memphis is going to be tough," Suns guard Goran Dragic said. "We don't match up well against them. I don't know how many games in a row we've lost against them but every game is different. We need to bring our energy and be smarter on defense and offense. If we're going to play smarter, I think we'll have a good chance to win."
Too bad this team combined has the IQ of a peanut.

I wonder which lucky Sun will pick up a tech today....I'm gonna go on a huge limb & guess at least one Morris will pick up a T....

I'm excited to see Brandon Wright play for the Suns. He is the type player the Suns have needed for a long time. He should help the the Suns keep the middle closed as a backup for Len.

And if it is Mook, then Kieff will immediately follow with one. :)

Miles Plumlee probably still will play tonight because of the size of Memphis' frontlline. They'll work in Brandan Wright too. #SunsAtGrizz

They need to hold the Grizzlies to one and done.
Limit those offensive rebounds.
Interested to see how Wright will fit in. Good timing to acquire his mix of size and athleticism.

The Suns are disjointed.

Maybe the Suns should stop trying to force the ball inside and let someone else guard Randolph.

Brandan Wright first play as a Sun is a travel. :-/

Suns did a good job to get the deficit to 5 to end the quarter.

It's amazing how teams can extend their defense and the Suns do not make them pay.

It was a very slow and painful half of basketball to watch.

I know I am in the minority here, but I think the Grizzlies basketball is just beautiful! They have rendered Dragic and Bledsoe as irrelevant as to rookies selected at the end of the second round.

2 of 16 from behind the arc... Just can't believe how horrendous our three point shooting has become...

You would have loved those low scoring college basketball games before the time clock.

That's twice now where Len has blocked Randolph's shot and the refs bailed Randolph out. You are allowed to "bite on a pump fake" if you jump straight up - Which Len did ... it doesn't matter if there's contact - A Player has the right to jump straight up ALWAYS (Because that's the player's space) as Len did those two times. Len didn't do anything wrong.

Len also had a block/steal late in the 2nd Q that he wasn't rewarded (The play that led to Dragic getting blocked by Gasol on the other end) - Bledsoe was given the block instead even though it was Len. So, he should have 4 blocks if the refs call it right.
