We also look really good 4 out. Getting a post presence will be the next step.

Yep. Would love to see us run 5 out during the season too. Chriss at center.

They look like different players on the defensive end.

Get stuffed Longbardi!

Bledsoe looked so out of control it was sad. Jacking up ill-advised threes. Awful decision making in transition. Seriously, this is so hard to watch after having Nash for all those years. Bledsoe and Knight have no clue how to play point guard. It is pathetic. They are who they are at this point too. Forget their ages. Neither one of these guys are point guards and I think they both hold everyone on the team back. The best passes to Chandler are done by Booker. Imagine if you had Nash or Kidd on this team instead Bledsoe and Knight. They would win 50+ games. I would absolutely put Ulis out there for 20 minutes a game because at least he knows how to run an offense.

You didn't like his two assists to Warren early in the game? I thought those were sweet.

Why is Antawn Jamison a commentator at halftime for the Lakers?

Decent first half, we need to move more the ball because sometimes we make too much iso. Good perimeter defense. I want to see Booker more in the post and some plays for Warren in the elbows.

He should be doing that every second he is in the game. It is just not the way he plays basketball. Those two plays were overshadowed by his inability to consistently do it.

I thought that Bledsoe looked really good this half outside of those transition 3's. Bellyaching about not having a Nash or Kidd type of point guard is pretty silly to me, the only guy left in the league that plays point guard with their caliber and style is Chris Paul. They're heralded as some of the best of all time for a reason, it's not a common skill set.

Member when the Suns had pass first PGs? Member Steve Nash? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I member. Member Jason Kidd? I member!

Just a friendly reminder that 1) It is preseason 2) There are different styles of PGs that don't pass first.

To be honest, the less our point guards handle the ball, the more successful this team will be.

This isnt a shot on Bledsoe or Knight, but our greatest strength is the fact that we have multiple players that can handle the ball. Having someone like Bender or Booker handle the rock and play the Pick and Roll will add another dimension to this team

DPOY Nick Young

8/19 from the free throw line as a team, absolutely terrible.

TJ Warren with the bunnies!

Last 2 possessions were gross af. Come on Booker.

Back-to-back horrible passes. That hurt us a lot last season.

Suns playing like hot garbage but this is the preseason, really want to see the rookies play more minutes at this point.

Are we sure TJ's foot surgery wasn't to insert some springs in his foot?

Booker just rubbish plays.
