I did a search on Direct TV. I assumed they only show games from this year. Of course when I went to watch it some college football game was playing.Superbone wrote:Are you sure you're looking at the right year, 'Dack?Nodack wrote:I am showing the game being on Fox Sports AZ channel 686 on Direct TV.

I'm going to check out the Suns Facebook page again and then if that's not working, start scrambling like last time and hopefully one of us will find a stream.
Turns out the coach ran them ragged in practice, which they say took too much out of their legs for last night's game -djy2j wrote:Eric Bledsoe already in midseason form with the 0-8.

That's one thing that should NEVER happen with this group of guys, lack of energy. That falls on the coach. There should be at least 10 guys that are hungry for minutes and to prove themselves in this league. Again, not making any foregone conclusions until the regular season but I see some red flags.

All that running took some steam out of Phoenix’s legs, one reason it shot 37.8 percent from the field in Wednesday’s 113-104 loss to Portland.
But Watson thought it was more important to challenge his players.
“We knew our practice would put them in a tough situation physically that would allow them to either push through the wall or falter or fall,” he said. “They pushed through the wall … I’m proud of the way they responded.”
I only saw the first half, but I would say we had better energy from the young guys. Chriss and Bender looked more dialed in. Of course, Mike James is always ready to attack. He gets it. So having more of him on the court made the team look more active, even though they were not more effective.djy2j wrote:Eric Bledsoe already in midseason form with the 0-8.
