Let's keep it up. Three in a row coming baby!

Im liking what Nick is doing off the bench. Feels like the coach wants to get him accustomed to the 2nd unit C spot so his role dosnt change and cause confusion when Williams comes back. Oso will go to the bench.

I have my doubts about it. Oso is already better than Richards at every skill other than FT% and the difference between them isn’t that huge.

Oso can defend on the perimeter pretty well and his passing and ball handling could be helpful with four 3p shooters around him.

Was at the game, good fun. Matrix, Vince Carter, Yao Ming, Mitch Richmond, Stephon Marbury and, Jeremy Lin, Tim Hardaway Sr. were all there. I was sitting a couple rows behind Carter and David Beckham who were basically sitting together.

Suns look offensively challenged without Williams and Green out there, the nets were smarming Booker all game. Defensively the Suns played hard though, the Dunn / Brooks Combo looks great on defense. I hope Williams can help compensate for the lack of having a 'true' 4.

Maluach looks a year away from being a year away. He's massive and had a few good lob catches, but for much of the game he looked clumsy and lost. I don't expect to see too many minutes from him in his rookie season, Oso and Richards are way ahead of him at the moment.

Its too bad Oso can't bulk up to like 240 lbs or something because he's a good passer but just too small to be a center or even a PF.

If he could shoot a jumper he could be a stretch big but I don't think anyone can fix his broken jump shot.

Big difference from last season.

The vibes at the start of the season were great last year too, that wasn’t the problem.

I also think Oso has been more solid than expected!! Stronger, faster, smarter, good linchpin. Rebounding, passing and actively setting good screens! He has been serviceable.

That 38.5 FT% though. Also worst +/- with -22 in 1st half of previous game and for somebody considered a connector because of his passing skills 2apg with 1.7tos is pretty bad. Richards' positive presence was felt a lot more in last game.
