Did anyone watch much of Jalen Smith in college? Has he improved his lateral quickness? Why did people say he had the stiffest hips they’d seen? He looks completely fine moving on D to me.

Suns and Mavericks trying to murder the game of basketball.
If I told you before the game that the Suns only had 53 points at the half, you’d have been worried.

Yea no flow to the offense except maybe a few spurts. Thought Stix played well once he settled down. Did some nice things on both sides of the ball and I love him at the 5. Cam Johnson got it going towards the end of the half, Mikal's been great. Payne was OK and got his offense going a bit. Gallo got a few minutes out there and got us a quick5 pts. Jones and Ayton completely taken out of the game. Not sure what they'll do in the 2nd half. Paul looks like he's trying to do too much. Either pass it or step into the shot.

Wonder if we see Paul try and take over more on O. 2 points so far - hasn’t really been looking for his shot

Who had Jalen Smith to the FT line before Ayton?
I have everybody going to the FT line before Ayton.
Fair, who had Bridges leading the team in FGA, FTA, and points in the first half?

Now, THAT was unexpected.

Gotta imagine Doncic hates Bridges...he’s gonna get his numbers, but Bridges makes it tougher in him than just about anyone.

Didn’t get much of camp or playing time in preseason. Think we’ll see him get quite a bit better as he familiarizes himself with the team.

Ayton surpasses last years fta/game tonight...of course 1/4 won’t cut it though.
