PREVIOUSLY...the Phoenix Suns beat the Memphis Grizzlies 123-118 in double-overtime in Phoenix on Friday night. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Suns. The Suns split their first two road games, losing 106-92 in Portland and winning 110-94 in Utah.

Former Hawk Josh Childress has failed to receive much playing time early in the season for the wing-heavy Suns. Former Hawk fan cause celebre Garrett Siler is now an NBA veteran. Siler is 0-1 from the floor, 1-2 from the line, has 2 rebounds, 2 blocks, 5 turnovers, and 3 personal fouls in 17 minutes.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
