They mentioned he isn't 100%

Can you just put it in your sig so we don't have to hear about it every game?

Anderson is getting $20M to play like hot garbage. Such a great guy but his game has left him.
Was really hoping he'd be useful for some corner 3's or something, so far though he looks washed.

Ariza is playing well....but seems like a massive prick haha
How so?
The theatrics and shimmys and such after his makes. Eh not a huge fan of stuff like that. Like what I'm seeing so far from him...I think at the very least could be an asset at the deadline for a contender.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

God it's fun to watch some Suns basketball. They look great! My expert opinion is that having your best player back makes your team better.

Ayton looks great out there overall. Ariza is playing really well.

And my guy, TJ FREAKING WARREN, hitting 3/3 from 3 point land! If he can hit corner 3s, look out. That'll make him incredibly valuable. So glad he's trying to add that to his game.

(Doncic also looks pretty great. Wish we could have somehow drafted both!)

TJ looked fantastic.

Criminally underrated by Suns fans.

Nice to see a little swagger after a made bucket. I've been starving for good basketball and winning for years with this team that I'm willing to overlook that.

If TJ Warren can hit 3's, he's an all-star. But he looks fantastic in the sixth man role.

I don't understand the Josh Jackson hate today. His play hasn't merited it, some mistakes but his usage rate is low and he looks much better with a slasher and situational distributor than he did as the main man. I just wish he could hit 3's.

Prediction: Suns look good on days where the 3 pointers are going in (and providing spacing for Ayton inside) but look terrible on days where the 3's aren't going for them -- like blowout bad.
Is that a prediction, or just a recap of the preseason?

Not just the points from the 3-pointers, but in terms of watchability.

Why so salty split?
Haha, my bad. Just been enjoying this Suns game and TOO's comment just threw a damper on that. He doesn't like Jackson and he let's us know constantly. I get the concerns with him and I don't fault him for his opinion. It's perfectly valid. I just don't want to hear it every game and Jackson's actually been ok tonight, has been mostly under control. Didn't seem warranted.

If TJ can hit his threes consistently this is the lineup that should probably close games: Booker, Warren, Ariza, Jackson, and Ayton.
Go Suns!

When's the last time we had a center that would cause opposing players to alter their shot?
