Ayton with more dunks in the last two possessions than we've seen all of last season?

Glad that Ayton is responding to the criticism. Just as I was hoping he would.

Suns 12-0 run after a Lakers TO. Paul with behind the back pass to Ayton foe a dunk and then Ayton straight up defense changing Schroder's shot, then running the floor for the dunk on the other end. This is the suns team we expected to see.

But -- even on the dropped pass the potential was clear. Good idea.

Exactly -- but he was cutting and if he were looking for the pass it would be a nice dunk or at least a nice layup.

That is a very positive way to look at it. :)

Really, no other way. They hadn't really practiced together before the first preseason game. Much to learn.

Paul. Carter, Book. Stix and Jones now out there. Stix misses a 3, fouls AD and gets some advice from CP and Book. Jones gets a lob from Book plus the foul.

Jalen probably shouldn't lead a fast break. :lol:

Love how he's a lot more agile and a better ballhandler than we'd imagined.

I'm very happy with the kind of mistakes we are seeing from Stix. Langston Galloway continues to be very good off the bench. I'd like to see some 2 man game between those two.

Moore has not been good as the lead guard.

The 2nd unit is really missing Saric and Johnson.
