Tyus Jones has started the last 6 games and is averaging 14 points, 7 assists on 50% shooting from 3. Banes is shooting 43% from 3 all year too. And then you have Melton coming off the bench the last 6 games putting up 20 points while shooting a staggering 58% from the field and 58% from 3 on 8.5 attempts per game. I hope we see more of Holiday this game to help lock some of these guys up.

Brooks has a chip on his shoulders when faces Booker. He steps it up a lot. Bane is just a dead eye shooter, pretty much a Brogdon replica. I would actually get Mikal on him and have Booker go to Brooks.

Don't forget about Melton. I think he should have a chip on his shoulder as well.

Interesting from the Grizzlies, but it makes sense, they are locked into the 2 seed at this point barring something catastrophic. Though I would think they'd want one last regular season test against a likely WCF opponent.
I'm curious to see when the Suns start to rest players, particularly because we have a few guys (Cam and Paul) who missed some serious time and need to get their rhythm back.

It looks like they don't wanna show us anything in case we meet in the playoffs. That's weird though, figured they'd want this game as much as our guys do. If they win I *think* they'd be the only team with a positive winning record (2-1 if they beat us).
That's a pretty good thing to have for a young team. Especially one as intense and cocky as Memphis. I was looking forward to this game dammit lol.

I went through (not here, but for my own curiosity) this the other day before the GSW game - GSW is the only team that beat us 2x this year (we split 2-2) and Memphis has the chance to win the season series. The rest of our schedule and splits looks like this:
OKC 3-0
LAL 3-0
LAC 2-1
UTA 2-1
SAC 2-1

That's why I'm legit shocked theyre not playing their guys. Do they have #2 seed locked up already or something?
Quite frankly even if they do, I'd still wanna play if I was them. If for no other reason than to test myself against a team I'd have to go through in order to get to the finals.
