True. Lebron and AD are playing, so it should be interesting.

Grizzlies don't have their best player, yet they're just beat the best team in the NBA. Tell me again how the West is weaker than the East.

Best player?

They didn't have their starting lineup, save Brooks. That was all bench

How the hell do you concede almost 160 points at home as a contender is beyond me.

Grizzlies didn’t have FOUR of their best players tonight.

Ja Morant, JJJ, Desmond Bane, and Steven Adams didn’t play.

Memphis straight up punked Phoenix tonight.

Phoenix got bullied even worse than what the Bucks did last year in the Finals.

Grizzlies would give the Suns a TON of trouble in a series.

Grizzlies would give a TON of trouble to any team IMO. They are well coached, play great defense, and have amazing depth.

Call me Crazy but I think this game decided coach of the year.

I know the Suns didn't really give it all they had but you just can't lose to Santi Aldama and Jared Culver type players in the way they did.

Because of one game at the end of the season? Bit dramatic

The Suns absolutely gave it everything they had.

They had their full roster, with their bench healthy for the first time since January.

And the Grizzlies punked them.

To your point - Jenkins just locked up COY.

Maybe if you rest your entire starting lineup.
