Suns are off to a slow start which is expected considering 1/3rd of our roster is out.

Booker is playing excellent defense on Morant. Unfortunately our shots aren't falling but Stix hitting banking a three in was hilarious.

Smith might have a career night with our two forwards missing already with 5 points in 3 min of play.

Booker is playing really good defense so far.

Desmond Bane is balling out for them.

Bane has big a huge surprise I always wondered where he came from which Eddie just said Celtics had him but gave him away. Dude is putting up 17/4/2 on 47/42/93 split.

Smith has some pts so far but man he’s physically so weak. Memphis smaller guards have straight up just grabbed the ball right from him when he’s got it off passes or offensive rebounds.

He looks so skinny too. I think I may have been stronger my freshman yr of high school than he is now at age 21. He’s listed at 215 but I doubt that’s correct, I’d be surprised if he’s in the 200s at all. Doesn’t look like he worked on his body from last season to this season either. JJJ is only a yr older but the difference the two physically is crazy.

I'm loving how Jalen is playing! maybe this was the opportunity and confidence from a coach that he needed.

Out of all teams for us not to have Ayton, Memphis would on the top of the list.

This team seems to be playing like it’s defeated. Crowd reacting accordingly

Yeah I was gonna say that too. Feels like some of the same tendencies from the second half of the Warriors game has carried over to this one.

Offensively Suns are taking awful shots for the most part. Even the ones they’ve made have been really tough.

lol booker mad....

Hopefully he comes out on fire in the 2nd half.

Angry booker can be nasty or turnover the ball to much.

Lets see.

This has the makings of a multi game losing streak if we can’t get the energy right. Last 2 games are the same. Can’t rely on the other team missing shots

Both Mikal and Cam have pretty good mid range games they just dont trust themselves enough or something.

I would like to see both of them be more aggressive in that area.
