[Superbone]

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: BSAZ, NBATV

The Adelaide 36ers cross the pond to take on the Phoenix Suns in their first preseason game of the 22/23 season. Landale is very familiar with his countrymen and I'm sure will get a bigger look as a result. The game will be televised nationally on NBA TV.

Go Suns!!!

I was like, uh oh, typo, ... Wait, Adelaide? Crikey! Is this some kind of Jock Landale tie-in thing?

[Split T]

First Ayton look was a good strong move…it was against a little guy, but I’ll take it

[Split T]

Mikal being aggressive is nice too

[Split T]

Mikal dominating both ends right now

[Split T]

Ayton looks really good too! This is what we need…of course gotta remember who we are playing, but Ayton being more aggressive than normal.

[Split T]

First look at the 2nd unit is Payne/Shamet/Lee/Craig/Landale

[Split T]

They just went 0-4 from 3 on one possession haha

They just went 0-4 from 3 on one possession haha

That was ugly, but the rebounding numbers…

[ShelC]

Landale looking active and athletic so far. CP looks a little heavy but he's probably playing himself into shape. The first unit hasn't missed a beat, just a matter of maximizing everything.

[Split T]

Didn’t think CP3 did much and then I check the box score and realize he had 7 assists.

This 2nd unit is not making a great showing. If this is what we run out there in the regular season, we will have some issues.

Interesting seeing Landale as the first big off the bench, I wonder if it’s just because who we are playing or because he winning that role just far.

[Wally_West]

2nd unit can’t hit a fucking shot.



We really gonna need someone who could be a consist scorer off the bench.

[SunsRIt]

Interesting no Saric yet.

[carey]

Our 3-point defense has picked up where it left off last season.

[Split T]

Who are these Ausssie shooters? Can they be our 2nd unit?

[Wally_West]

Lol we’re getting our asses kicked. I know it’s preseason but damn.

[Wally_West]

We’re going to need a starter or two on the court at all times during the season me thinks

[Split T]

And we really need to get a playable guy for Crowder…might even make sense to bring a starter off the bench to balance things out

[Split T]

Payne getting a few things going. That’s good to see. Are we actually gonna lose though? Have any of these NBL teams beaten an nba team before?
