WHY oh why does the Suns game have to be at the exact same time as the Mr. Robot season premiere? Gah........unfortunately, it's not a hard decision to make. I'll catch up with you guys when I get the chance.

Need to control the turnovers. Especially Chriss and Jackson.

After season expectations were reasonably set, I expect a watchable game. Doesn't need to be enjoyable, just watchable til end.

A good stream will make this more watchable

Why do they schedule 2 games against Portland when we play them opening night, it's a disincentive to show your full line up when we'd probably like to.

Despite the fact that much has been made about the NBA going smaller, I really like going with a "traditional" lineup.

Len is a 5. A pure 5
Chriss is a 4. He's not a 3. He MIGHT play the 5 at times, but really, he's a 4.
TJ and Jackson are 3's. Pure 3's
Booker is a pure 2.
Bledsoe is a pure 1.

Unless we're playing against a team who is not running a REAL center, we need a REAL center in the lineup.

And for ****'s sake! If I see any more of that GARBAGE Len/Tyson handoff at the top of the key, I'm going to **** scream.

How about we try a REAL 2 man game/pick and roll from the freethrow line-ish area. None of this horsehit - 3point line handoff with no screen that never works and usually ends up with Len or Tyson (neither are playmakers or shooters) holding the god damn ball at the 3 point line with no one open and no clue what to do.

It's a garbage play and we run it all the time. It never **** works.

Tyson and Len should LIVE on the block and only come up to the freethrow line for a TRUE screen and roll like we had durring the Amare/Nash days. Maybe then we'd actually get a high percentage shot OR the defense would have to help and one of our other 3 players would be open.

No TJ and no Devin tonight. Might be painful to watch of there's a stream that works.

I could see josh Jackson being our best player in 3 years.

Like what Quese has done thus far. Active on the boards, physical with the rookie Collins, and not hesitating to shoot. Only 1 3 has dropped, but his form is looking pretty solid and consistent.
