Grayson Allen (personal reasons, expected a kid) and Nurkic (finger) OUT.

Hi people.

I wasn't actually interested on witnessing first Bronny Jr and Sr teammating ever so I barely watched some minutes your last game.

I do have some interest to see if La Mar Stevens will play tonight and since if he does it will be most likely deep in the 4th I plan to watch ther entire game tonight.

Shame about Mini-Hulk absence... I've been tracking Graymond since Utah drafted him (those were the RRubio Jazz ages). I like his hustle.
On the other side, Bol Bol is expected to play heavy minutes and he's another guy I have some soft spot for.

Pretty curious about how Tyus Jones will play alongside BBeal. Tricky combination.

Of course, pre-season is the worst and most deceptive way to check stuff but at this stage it can't be helped.

So with Rubio out of the league, are you now a Suns fan? Or a fan of all the teams Rubio played on?

Ryan Dunn was the first sub off the bench, immediately hit a 3, and then locked up Cade Cunningham on the next possession. You love to see it.

Alright, Ryan Dunn, you are him.

Yo what happened to Dunn after the summer league? He looks like a completely another player. I'm so happy for the dude.

I won't get too excited, but it's very nice to see Dunn hitting 3s.

Loving the ball movement and the defense leading to fast breaks. Felt like the number of fast breaks we had last year could be counted on two hands

That super quick passing off a loose ball or offensive rebound to an open 3 and the zero hesitation shooting that 3 ball is beautiful to see

I've taken out the crow from the deep freezer to start defrosting

I always followed NBA even before RRicky was drafted @bwgood77

I will keep following NBA even if RRicky plays FIBA (what he doesn't as long as I know)

I might feel some more attached to teams I've recently watched carefully like PHO but unless La Mar gets a guaranted, I'm now a Free Agent fan.

We're definitely playing a lot faster and hunting 3's. It's preseason tho. Hopefully it carries over to when the games matter. Keep it up

Oso playing well again. Made a couple of nice floaters and backdoor passes. Seems like he's always in the right position

Tyus Jones was such a great signing. Always making the right play and he's a sniper from deep.

Already hit our 3PT attempt average last season and there's still 4min left in the 3rd

Also love this Beal that isn't looking tentative trying to create for others or creating off the dribble. He gets a pass and he's already on the move with scoring in mind. This unit with Beal and the bench guys is going to be dangerous

Oso backdoor pass :love:

It's hard not to overreact but both of our rookies look like they can play rotation minutes and hold their own. At the very least both have translatable skills that fit very nicely around the big 3. That's just awesome for two dudes we took at #28 and #40

It's nice to see Kaminsky again.

Our regular starters (the 4 of them) have all played 19 minutes or more, and they have a total of ZERO turnovers. I bet there wasn't a game where all of KD, Book and Beal went 20 minutes in the same game without a turnover. Having Tyus Jones (and Monte) is so nice.

Turnovers was one of our major issues last year.
