At least Carter plays some tough defense. Dude is a bulldog. Diallo is struggling. Maybe these rookies aren't so bad after all. Shout out to NBADraft Twitter.

Kaminsky playing well, but seems to be trying to prove he’s not just a shooter. He’s passed up a few open looks to drive the ball.

A lot of guys just sort of playing iso and shooting long shots. At least Kaminsky is balling out there.

What IS the best way to make a long bet on the Suns? Playoffs seems like a good risk-reward kind of bet -- and I'm wondering how to do it.

Thanks for the links, with Dish not having Fox Sports AZ anymore plus the league pass option saying the Suns will be blackout since I'm local. Going to need them
Fox Sports is back on Dish.

Okobo looking great with this 2nd unit! I love our bench.

Owens needs a few years in the D-league and/or Europe and may become good. Or maybe not. Low-risk, high-potential.

I like Owens, wouldn’t mind giving him the 2nd 2-way slot. We might need a wing for depth though.

The bench is making us sweat out the victory.

Okobo isn't going to make it easy on the team to cut him.

They couldn't guard him.

That was interesting watching it streaming. Instead of commercials they went to interviews of Suns players, which was cool. I picked up on the game a few minutes into the second quarter. One pre season game is such a small snapshot. It was enough to check out most of the new guys. Baynes, Bridges and Oubre out for the game was kind of a bummer. There is going to be a lot of versatility on this team imo. There are some defensive specialists. This is going to be interesting.

I was told that Kaminsky is bad and can't play. Hmmm

What a fun game. I loved watching Rubio run the offense. He is just what we have needed. And Jerome was great, too! I haven't had much of an expectation from him so far but wow. He seemed so poised for a rookie PG. I wanted to see more from Saric. Cam Johnson, eh, I want to root for the kid but I fear people will be making fun of that pick all year. Oh well. This is a much improved team and already way more fun to watch than last year's. Go Suns!

I got lower level seats for 5 dollars! But I couldn't get there until halftime, so I missed the entire first half. I feel like Rubio shot too much (especially when he's missing them), and the box score shows that. Hopefully he will focus more on playmaking and defense. Great to see Ayton's numbers. The team did a very good job overall on the boards, including Diallo and Saric. Loved Carter's defensive intensity.
Nice to see the Suns playing well like this and winning, despite being shorthanded.

Elie has looked good on his two drives to the rim
Okobo is going to end up as our new- age Barbosa. Microwave scorer/distributor off the bench.
He scores soo easily now

What was the difference for Okobo last night? He looked like he was in over his head in summer league.
