Suns @ Grizzlies Friday game thread, 11-24-2023 - In-Season Tournament #4

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 81 - Grizzlies 73

 

[Mainstreet]

Well done Devin as he hits a three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Derrick Rose with 14 is working over the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Goodwin (5-7) with 12 points has been a big help.

Love Okogie's defense, even if he has been mostly a minus on offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gordon with a statement three to put the Suns up by 16.

Love Okogie's defense, even if he has been mostly a minus on offense.

I'm enjoying Goodwin's defense as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is putting icing on the cake.

[Yuma]

Got my Covid update, flu shot, and second (final) shingles shot at the half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is still in the game. I guess it's all about point differential now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns 110 - Grizzlies 89

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker has 40 points, 4 assists, 4 steals and a block.

Nice finish to the game

 

[Phrazbit]

40 points on 21 shots is bonkers.

Geez Book.

Memphis is a mess, but, good win.

Not a good point margin for my hope of us getting bounced from the tournament. Barring the Nuggets absolutely destroying Houston tonight, it is very likely we will advance.

Good W.

 

[Yuma]

Suns also stand atop the Pacific Division today after the win!

 

[Mainstreet]

Again, the NBA needs to get rid of this point differential stuff.

I have zero desire to see this team, put together with pins and needles, to play any extra games that have zero meaning on the season.

If the Nuggets beat Houston by 25 or more we're eliminated tonight.

 

[Phrazbit]

Also, if the Suns advance, we, as the "wild card" play a road game in the "quarterfinals".

If we do not advance, we play a home game against some other team that didn't advance.

Specifically... a home game that I would have a ticket to (and have paid for already).

So... go Nuggets! Obliterate Houston tonight!

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Nuggets beat Houston by 25 or more we're eliminated tonight.

This is beyond rational thinking, even if they do this in Europe.

 

[Phrazbit]

None of this is how it works in Europe. The NBA pulled this out of their butt.

Only the final game of the in-season tournament is extra. Everything up to then is part of the 82 and counts in the regular standings.
