Maybe we could re-sign Big Sauce in the meantime while we wait for Ayton to come back?
Yes! I would totally be down with that.

This feels just like when Amare was suspended for having a foot on the court during the Nash getting shoved out of bounds incident in the playoffs. It seems like someone doesn’t want the Suns to ever have any success. We always seem to get the MAX sentence in any situation. The sentence for this was 8 games for the first offense but now changed to 25 because it’s the Suns? Next Booker will be suspended for five games because his shirt was untucked during a game.
It was changed in the last CBA. Wilson Chandler also got suspended this offseason for 25 games. Ayton failed the test, he gets 25 games. Would have been the same for any player who failed the test.

Jokic looks like Meat Loaf in Fight Club.

Jokic has old man game. He doesn't need to move fast or even jump to get it done.

It's crazy from a physical standpoint that Jokic is not only a pro athlete, but one of the best in the world. He's the new old-Sabonis.

Honestly doesn't look like we've missed a beat. Offense is flowing, shots aren't exactly falling but we're knocking some down. Book seems a little out of rhythm but is starting to get it going. Frank and Baynes are doing a good job on Jokic so far.

He is at least 10 pounds heavier than last season.

Watching us play well just hurts. Could make some serious noise this year.

In other news, Jevon Carter is still trying to be Allen Iverson. I just can’t with him.

He is miscast as a primary ball-handler. His defense and shooting have been good, but we are asking him to fill a role he really isn't suited for. I'd rather have Johnson handle the ball while Ty is out.

Great move by Kaminski

Didn't expect for us to be playing so well

I'm not against Rubio shooting or looking to score, but he's taken way too many shots thus far.

Yes absolutely. I think he has PJ Tucker syndrome though. I don’t think he can play within a role like that, though I think that would be best for the team. I agree though that should be the course of action until Jerome comes back.

Looks like the defense is greatly improved over the last few seasons.

I am loving this team already. Rubio alread has 6 assists halfway through the 2nd quarter. Baynes is filling in nicely for Ayton. Another very solid game for Kaminsky so far. Wow!

Carter seems to have some curious trouble navigating screens.

Not sure why TJ doesn’t get more time. Also Frank was great in his limited PT.

Booker needs to wake up. Took an awful corner three with Barton all over him, basically air balled it, then slowly walked back on D. Luckily Denver missed a quick 3.
