Scheduled win for the Suns. The NBA owes Suns a win on the road and will do everything in their power for it to happen. Expect a Phoenix win tomorrow you heard it here first. I know we are missing 70% of our roster, but there’s only ONE basketball and it will SHINE tomorrow.

The Phoenix Suns’ injury-riddled December will continue Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies as Devin Booker and Landry Shamet will not play after suiting up in Sunday’s Christmas loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Booker (left groin straight), Shamet (right achilles soreness), Cam Payne (right foot strain) and Cam Johnson (meniscus tear) were all listed as out on the NBA’s latest injury report.

The Grizzlies listed rookie Kennedy Chandler (nasal fracture) as available.

Unfortunately we won't have 30 ppg scorer Shamet for this game since he's also out with an injury.

It will take a miracle to beat a fully healthy Memphis team but we are due for one of those games I think...

Just looking at home vs road record, the Grizzlies are 13-2 at home (best home record in the league) while Phoenix are 5-10 on the road. I’m not saying we need a miracle but….

There are just way too many injuries. We just don't have enough scoring options. If CP3 could pull one of his games from last year out of his ass that would be different.

Memphis just has too many guys and Adams seems to be Ayton's kryptonite.

No Shamet we might have a chance.
Shamet scoring 30 equals a loss every night.
He should stay “injured” until we move him.

Give our first ever #1 pick the damn ball

[handsome salary]

Ayton will score 30 with 20 rebounds. Of course half those numbers will come in the 4th with Suns already down 25.

As good of #s as Ayton has been putting up, unfortunately one thing he has not been able to do is stop the injuries from Booker, Cam, Cam and others. He needs to get better at that or he absolutely needs to be traded.

You’ve been a fan longer than me by at least 20 years. Correct me if I am wrong? How do you continue to cope with us getting close to a title then starting all over again? I’ve been following this team since early 00’s but now unsure when our next opportunity to make the finals will be. Don’t know how long I can take since bball is my favorite sport followed by Dbacks, Cards and Yotes. I’ll continue to follow but it’s harder watching full games lately knowing Boston, Pelicans, Grizzlies,Bucks, 76ers, Nets are on the rise.

Give our first ever #1 pick the damn ball

To do what? Suns need to bring in Amare to teach him how to play like a big

[Sunlight]

Maybe this is the night when we see our #1 pick allowed to get first option place on offense. I can see its enough for that happen because so many Montys favorite guys out.

Edit post, BW responded in the other thread.

I don't think Amare is getting any job with the NBA anymore after apparently beating his daughter. If that story is true, it's such a **** bummer.

They need to hire every big great ever to show him how to play with edge. I'd start with Hakeem. Maybe get Shaq to show him how to use his size (i know he's not as big as shaq). But then again, you think Biyombo's hustle and effort would have rubbed off on the dude by now. Ayton is the one holding Ayton back.

He had 6 turnovers in the last game when they were force feeding him. Hopefully he watched tape and realizes bringing the ball down low is an automatic turnover for him. It might be a long, long night.

He did. He's knows he needs to fix that and not dribble. He should hold it firmly with both hands high, look around, and only dribble if there is no one there. Hopefully he cleans that up. I appreciate that he is trying to make moves, putting it on the floor to create his shot but he needs more awareness before doing so.

I think a lot of you need to stay away from the TV tonight.
