Interviewing players after the first Q is weird. If I'm a player, I don't want to have a conversation about how good or bad I've played over the first 12 minutes.

Ant successfully becoming a very high volume 3 point shooter seemingly overnight is still wild to me

I thought he was going to come back from the Olympics as THE man this year. My assumption was that he would be super aggressive driving. I did not think he was going to start shooting 10 3s a game, let alone hit them at this rate.

Nice MLK Jr half time show from Memphis. I will always respect him for progressing the third world Deep South so much. Never forget that those terrorists who use him today as an example of doing things the right way hated him so much that they murdered him in his 30s

JJJ is lucky he didn't get a foul on McDaniels there. He was holding his elbow an bodied him out of bounds with his chest.

What in the heck are the Suns doing with Beal? What a bizarre team they've become. They go small with Richards picking up 3 fouls and they muster 19 points in the 2nd quarter. That's pretty pathetic.
