This is hard to watch without Booker, Ayton, or Warren on the floor.

A great thing about Aminu is you know he's not playing for the money and he is a solid defender....he does it because he loves it...like Eddie Murphy mopping the floor at McDowells (I know he did that for the girl)...but it is respectable knowing how much work it takes to not only play in the NBA, but to lay it on the floor defensively like that when money doesn't matter

Me and two buddies are thinking of going in on a package together, but if we can't stream all at the same time then it would be pointless to do. Not sure if the premium package makes a difference or not either. Will make a separate thread on the GB if no one knows the answer.


I have access to Reddit, so I pretty much have league pass. I guess I can't answer your other question though since I haven't bought league pass,

Yet Jackson is still better at hitting 3s then Warren.


0-5 is better than 0-0? Learn something every day. Even if neither are efficient yet I'd rather neither shoot any.


No but .263 is still a lot better then .222 which is what both shot last year with a good size sample.
Just say no to idiots!!

Suns should have probably started training camp a month earlier than they did. Nothing looks smooth on offense or defense (besides Ayton for the most part).

Yes, but there should be zero bragging about either and their 3 pt %. If that is what they are going to shoot, or even close to that, shooting open 3s does not help our team. No one will guard them there. A guy like Warren in motion will require a defender. Warren hasn't played much, so I haven't seen his shot. Jackson's hasn't looked pretty.

I'd rather them both be good at 3s, but if a guy hurts his team by shooting them more than not shooting them, I'd rather him not shoot them.

Wish our shooters would just catch and shoot instead of dribble undefended a few times then take a step back

3 shots on that possession, 3 blocks for Portland. The Suns can't even get shots off.

We look exactly like a 30th ranked offensive and defensive team out here

Yeah, I was a little worried after the excitement from the Kings and other game that once we played a solid team, it might not be pretty...we saw how bad it was last year starting the season, and we had Booker AND Bledsoe for those first two 40+ pt losses. And then not having Bledsoe didn't really make things better. The coaching change did, but without a PG, there is little chance...and without Booker it is tougher.

McD is doing Igor a disservice by not giving him a halfway decent starting PG
