Whoop That Trick is one of my favorite NBA traditions. It's like, should they be saying that? I have no idea, I'm a middle-aged white guy, but nobody has ever stopped them so screw it, that's awesome

Seemed like they came in thinking they'd coast to an easy W with grizzlies starters out.

Oh well on to the next. More annoyed my bets lost ha



Quite obvious the Suns have been off. Gotta have one every once in a while, right?


Yup. It happens. Rather it happen now then later

Memphis is easily the other contender in the West though. The West is a two-team race between the Suns and the Grizzlies, I don't really see any other team being on the same level.

Chris Paul? Speedy combo guard?


he used to be hella speedy in the 2008/2009 Hornets

No one ever mistook him for a combo guard at any point in his basketball playing career though

Good strategy suns, considering how bad the Grizz are shooting freethrows.

Check out the box score, lol


When you give up 150+ in regulation that's embarrassing no matter who you're putting out there. The point is neither team showed up tonight, but I'd bet they will show up in that next game

If LeBron scored three late 2-point buckets like Booker just did we'd get a 9-page thread.
