Looks like the same, 25 win team as always without Rubio or CP3.
Was thinking the same thing.

Out of shape and rusty I can handle. The big issues are:

1. Ball movement. Whole team full of 3pt shooters, and no one with the awareness to find an open mane on the perimeter. Pathetic.

2.Defense, specifically against 3 pointers. Most of Utah's 3 pointers are basically wide open. Suns act like it's 1980, and that they keep forgetting you get an extra point for shooting it behind a line.

It’s 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Everyone looks a step behind. Every good sequence is followed by multiple frustrating lapses. As many have been saying all offseason, backup point guard is gonna be a problem.


But...

1st game of the preseason with a bunch of key players missing after a very unusual offseason. So...meh. It is what is. Bring on the regular season!!

I know he stepped out of bounce, but I like the move Jalen made, putting the ball on the floor, looking to score.

The combo can work. Payne hasn't looked good tonight. And bad things happen when Carter dribbles. That is what I hate: Jevon Carter dribbling.
