I'm not saying Memphis is better than us but I don't understand so many people writing them off. They're legit, and they're just as deep as us. I think they are a better team than the one we lost the championship to last year.
I'm not writing them off at all.

They can beat anyone but the Suns in my opinion.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see the Grizzlies lose in the 1st round. They remind me a lot of the Blazers over this last decade only much better defensively. They go where Ja goes and in the postseason it's a lot easier to shutdown 1 guy.

The Nuggets are a nightmare matchup for them. Last two games super close.

And the Nuggets should be working Jamal Murray back into their rotation before the playoffs. They're a team I don't want to see, if healthy. They'll be gunning for us harder than anything after the sweep last year.

rusty Murray doesn't scare me if CP3 is ready to rock.

James Jones has a knack for acquiring players as he gets a lot of bargains with players like Payne, Craig, Biyombo and Holiday. I'm thinking he may have a trick left up his sleeve. I wouldn't put it past him. He looks for certain type players who put ego second. If Jones added another point guard it wouldn't surprise me at all. Of course a player like Payton would have to be waived.

Not sure how many of their games you have watched but they are not losing in the 1st round. They are nothing like that team IMO. In fact, in many ways they remind me of the Suns.
I do think Ja is going to have a hard time staying healthy. That kind of high-flying fast-paced play usually produces injuries along the way.

that he talks to former teammate Landry Shamet all the time. Redick noted how hard it is for shooters off the ball to find their rhythm through sporadic playing time. Redick brought up not having that rhythm early in his own career in Orlando.

Yeah... this doesn’t apply to GOD SHAMET!! He’s gotten consistent time and WIDE OPEN looks more often than not.

Suns can't keep their point guards healthy. Earlier I was thinking about the need for Holiday to stay well.

It's time to look at some 10-day contracts or other options.

Suns can't keep running Booker into the ground.

I'm planning to see some Elfrid Payton tonight.

We'll be ok.
It's not a TRUE SUNS team unless the wheels fall completely off at least once during the season.

Having 4-5 players out has become the norm.

That's what worries me.
