First thing that I want to say...IT'S DUNN TIME GUYS!

He played well in the first game but he was GREAT in this one. 10 points (3-5 threes), 4 boards, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 1 assist and no TOs in less than 17 minutes. His defense on and off the ball is off the charts for a rookie.

KD with a crazy performance, he nice lol. 21 points on 12 shots in 19 minutes. Good defense and intensity on a preseason game.

I didn’t like TyTy Washington, but it's just one game.

Gillespie played very well again. We have 3 rock-solid PGs on the roster, nice depth for a long season.

Oso is already better than Plumlee but we are gonna need both because fouls and injuries are gonna be a factor for sure.

Oso’s floaters and lobs are enough to consider him already a serious threat as a finisher and will only get better and better.

2-0 so far with great vibes. Let's keep it up!

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!!


It is just fine if you live in Phoenix and the price is right. All you need is an antenna and a TV.

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

Oso is just an awesome basketball player.

Absolutely.

The FO did an awesome job scouting and then drafting these two players.

I can't believe that we could draft Dunn at #28 + got 2nds for free.

I'm in Buckeye and watching it with Direct TV, its terrible. Maybe I need to downgrade and find somewhere else on one of the smart tv's to watch.

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.

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

He does get off the push shot really damn quickly though. Could be that once he gets scouted, it'll become problematic but at this point, I'm just glad he has a reliable (so far) weapon to put points on the board. I also don't think anyone really turns a floater into an actual middy, they just refine the floater so it's a better floater

I am in Buckeye as well and I use Dish for everything but the local channels. I use an antenna for local channels. It is hooked into my Dish receiver. Channel 3 shows up in the programming guide and I can record games. As far as I am concerned the quality is just fine.

Re-watching, in the area of 7ish minutes left in the first. The lineup of Jones, Book, Dunn, Durant, Oso might be a thing to watch out for! These dudes are getting after it!

Return to Phoenix Suns
