Anyone watching on league pass? Why is the stream quality 1080p? How do I get better?

Yeah, at some point last year he started to drive and dish a bit, but in the first game I think there were 2 consecutive plays where he drove to the rim and got fouled and got to the line. Bud will want to spread the floor and have people either shoot 3s or take it to the rim. Of course guys will fall into their bread and butter midrange iso, particularly KD and Book, but the more we can shoot 3s and get to the rim, the better.

I didn't really notice.

It's preseason so the result nor the team we play really matters but what it shows is how we're looking to play. A lot of 3's, a lot of ball movement, a lot of screens and did I mention, a lot of 3's?

Dunn 3-5 from 3, Booker 0-6

Again Gillespie is impressing me

5 for 11 going back to the Laker game. It's a good sign he's hitting them but better sign he's not afraid to shoot it

Who knows if the percentages stay high, but he already looks like a better player than at summer league.

If you have an issue with turnovers, sure Tyus is best solution available in the League.

I was TimberTrolling with RRubio when Flip drafted him... I think he (and his brother) has some minnesotan native american blood.

I always liked him and kept an eye on him later in MEM.

Nice addition even if they are forced now to reset team ball-sharing habits.

My feeling I shared before LAL game that Ryan will surprise with his shooting looks good so far. May not translate this season if he loses confidence at some point, but good to know he's working hard on his game.

Why can't all of Big 3 have a good shooting game at the same time ? Anyway, Suns are undefeated is all that matters.

Oso with nice stat line again, more rebounds than Plumlee too. TOs a bit high, but here come Jones and Morris to fix the a/to ratio with 12:0 performance. All three players will get regular minutes and fix the playmaking issues from last season.

Small sample size but I haven't really liked much of what I've seen from Plumlee. His finishing has been kinda mid....1-3 in the LA game and 1-4 in this game. Oso on the other hand....his push shot is fire and I suppose being younger, he certainly has more pep in his step/jump than Mason. His TO's could be cleaned up but he at least creates opportunities with his passing. 4 dimes in this game and 5 in the LA one.

I'm going to temper my expectations following a pre-season game, but Dunn's shot looks pretty smooth for a guy who was advertised to be MKG level bad. Good arch, decent release point and quickness of release, shoots both off the dribble and catch & shoot shots, shows good confidence.

With guys like Josh Jackson, even when he had good shooting nights it always felt fluky. Like the ball basically just bounced in his favor a couple of times. With Dunn, his shooting looks a lot more natural.

It's nice to watch him intensity engage on an opposing player who is obviously going at us. His focus and energy defensively is contagious for the vets like Book, KD, and Beal!! We have growing to do but I LOVE the rookies fit (Dunn and Oso)!!

Ever since we went from Fox sports to AZ Family Channel 3, the quality of the video feed IS **** ATROCIOUS!!! It digitizes any time movement picks up!! Its so frustrating!!

What a breath of fresh air Oso and Dunn are! More than anything, they represent hope - Suns fans can actually hope for something to come out of this big 3 experiment, and even if that fails, we'll have some young guys to root for again.

If Dunn can shoot, it's a complete game-changer for his ceiling.

Oso is just an awesome basketball player.

Clippers fans had really soured on Plumlee last season. I think he'll be 3rd string pretty soon

Re: Oso's push shot - I think it's going to get blocked a lot once he starts going against better (longer and more athletic players). He pushes it pretty flat, and that's not going to work at the highest level. Will need to start putting some arc on it, or convert that into an actually middy
