Solid move by Saben Lee. Heads up play. That play alone, I now think we should keep him.

It's amazing how much better we are with the good version of Paul looking to score. This is his best game since game 2 of the Mavs series.

Hard to believe we've got a 20 point lead on them.

That was a sweet sidearm slide pass, Chris. Nice finish as well from Craig.

Kick their teeth in!

Also... Dillon Brooks has quickly become part of my starting five of most hated players in the league.

He's definitely in there with Beverley. To hell with that chump.

Brooks is doing his best Alien impression with that hair.

No easy baskets for that dude. Make him earn his trip to the stripe.

I know I've criticised CP3's form all season long but just having a real PG out there makes our offense look coherent. The past few weeks running Lee, DWJr, Bridges etc at point has been ugly

Holding MEM to 37 points in the half is a tremendous effort for us and a testament to hubris on the part of our opponent. They just think they're going to walk all over every team they face, especially us when we're still full of injuries. Taking it to them, be it at home or on the road, is necessary. We CANNOT afford to let them get inside 10 points.

Is there any chance that Suns players started fight for their roster spots after Ishiba took the control and JJ really start threat to trade them. That's how it looks on the court. None of them wants to leave because the West is wide open and they know that Suns win it all.

i thought the grizz would be motivated after choking hard against the lakers. let's not give them any reason to think they can turn it around.

What I'm finding most interesting is the change in the tendency of officials to... actually blow their whistles for fouls in our favor. Maybe the ownership change was a real thing and not just conspiracy theory?

I actually really like Bridges getting PG opportunities. Still rough around the edges but it's good to see him running plays

SkyBill40 · Post #37 » by **SkyBill40** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 2:37 am

Contract year Craig coming through! He's a nice complementary player for us and I wouldn't mind seeing him get extended on a fair and manageable contract. He plays hard, doesn't complain, and makes the most of the opportunities given and those that develop organically.

Grizz starters are shooting 15 for 42

Not a surprise to see how good ball movement is when we have someone who can set up the offense with plenty of time left on the clock. Previously we'd run around and pound the air out of the ball just to go nowhere until we have to take a quick shot with like 3 seconds left.

SkyBill40 · Post #40 » by **SkyBill40** » Mon Jan 23, 2023 2:54 am

We need to keep pounding them. No gimmes. Keep up the lead intact and as large as possible seeing they're closing it somewhat quickly.

We're fighting amongst each other for rebounds and it's caused a few TO's. Come on, guys. Same team.
