Preseason Discussion
I know it's hard to take the preseason seriously, but I find it a little odd that the Spurs starter all played around 30 minutes last night and they lost to Berlin.
Also odd to see that Sullinger and Olynyk both hit three 3s.

Re: Preseason Discussion
I think the Spurs let them win to make up for Danny Green's Holocaust museum fiasco.

Re: Preseason Discussion
I'm always most interested in the rookies when I watch preseason. Who's showing the goods?
Jusuf Nurkic had 15 rebounds in 16 minutes last night. Didn't watch the game, but I did notice some smart positioning by Nurkic in the one play he was in in the highlights. Color me impressed.
You could see we lacked rim protection last night - Alex would definitely have helped in that area. Rim protection may be an area where Len has the advantage over Nurkic. But I was wondering on draft night if we would regret passing on the big fella. A rebound a minute. Nice.

Also Amare with 3 assists tonight! Impressive for him!

Atleast, we rectified past decisions and signed #telfair a little while back
(yes, he had a brother that had a brief stint in the NBA during the early 2000s #jamelthomas)

I think drafting Markieff proved we got it right when it comes to brothers, at least once, and at this point in their careers, I would take Robin over Brook for the sheer fact he seems to be able stay healthy.

I went dyslexic for a second and read "Alex Len fractures back", I almost fell out of my chair. I guess I am just used to what seems like constant setbacks. Good for him, I have faith that he, Goodwin, and Warren will play major roles on a future contending Suns team.
