Can't wait to see this one tonight. Hope we clamp down defensively on Booker. It will be very difficult.

Rewarding Kaminski for that flop is why this league is trash. Pussyfied

Winslow looking exactly like you'd expect after not playing a game in over a year. Look forward to seeing what he looks like after some time to knock the rust off. We also look tired which is shocking since this is only our 4th game in 5 nights.

Besides being short handed & Justice rusty, these lineup are suffering due to having no chemistry, completely out of sync both ends.

Turning this on now and we are down 31 at the half. Ok what was the greatest Grizzlies comeback of all time? About to happen right now!

Justice 0-9 (-21) in 11 mins at the half.

Suns at a point where they're able to throw triple teams at Morant, without concern.

I'd love to see it happen but the way they played that half, highly unlikely. Fully expect more of the same,

Memphis with a year low 34 pts at the half

Yeah, this is brutal. Does anyone know how the lottery works with 10 playoff teams in each conference? 9-10 seed seems like a sweet spot.

Hahaha scoreboard gave Suns Winslow's 3 initially. Battered and bruised tonight.

28-28 3rd Q so far, Winslow looking like he's shaking rust is what we looking for.

Lottery odds like normal after the play in tournament determines who is in the playoffs and who is lottery bound between the 7-10 ranked teams in each conference. Rankings/lottery position based off of record before play-in tournament. So if we make the play in but not the playoffs we will have a small shot at a top 4 pick.

Exactly! This is basically a scheduled loss. Let Winslow work rust off and try to get out of this game as intact as possible. Give everyone tomorrow off to rest. We are still .500 after this though a tough stretch is coming up.

That is what I was thinking. So 9-10 is the sweet spot, though I theoretically want to win every game I see.

The prospect of Jalen Green and Ja Morant is just too fun to not hope for. What a combo that would be.

Personally, I think Memphis are clearly positioning themselves for the play in & maybe some lotto luck, while using injuries & rest days to evaluate not just players but schematics.

Another game showing how a lack of offense can greatly impact a teams defensive play & apposing teams offensive confidence.

Time to get some rest & scrub this game from memory.

Dieng showing some things with the bench. Always liked his game. The 3 pter is a wrinkle he added in recent years.
