Game Day: Mavs (0-0) @ Suns (0-0), Wed 10/28/15

[Indy]

I agree with EJ that it is great to see Booker was patient and played 6 minutes before taking a shot

[EDC]

It is sad how bad they look driving to the basket most of the time. Every once in awhile they make a great move and look like something special but it is like once every 8 times they try to drive. The rest of the time looks just plain awful. Jumping in the air throwing the ball away. Jumping into someone hoping to get a foul or just dribbling it off their own feet.

More turnovers than assists for our guards.

Totally agree. It won't always be as bad as tonight but still a problem.

[Indy]

TC is critical. Good.

What is he saying? I left the bar long ago.

Best moment of the night?

Dear Suns -

Thanks for the opening night shit sandwich.

Our patience is running out.

Sincerely,

- The Fans

What did I miss? Thinking of getting League Pass so I can watch my Suns all season long!

Predictable disappointment, that's what you missed.

Wow. What a turd of a game. Keep Booker and Warren, maybe Len; nuke most of the rest from orbit.

Wouldn't be such a bad idea, you just know it won't happen though. I also wouldn't mind a new head coach either.

This mess starts at the top.

Agreed but I don't think McDonough is going anywhere unfortunately.

[Phoenix219]

I miss the Malaise years.

The Nash/Hill/Gortat years are looking good....

[da_suns_fan]

Bledsoe and Knight look like pretty good 6th man guards.

The Suns are going to pay them 140 million.

30 wins seems reasonable for team I saw tonight.

[Superbone]

This was not the home opener we were looking for.

[Nodack]

Obviously we have some work to do.

I intentionally avoid any Suns news the day after our last game of the year every year for the last several years. I did catch a few things like the Chandler trade, Booker, Marcus gone and a few names thrown about. I just turn on the DVR and the game starts and it's time to find out who is on the team with a nice clean slate. As expected, there were a bunch of guys I didn't know. It seemed like there were 30 guys on the team. Hornecek seemed to play everybody as if to also start them all with a clean slate. All kinds of things were written on the slate during the game.

Did Markieff make a basket? Almost fouls out and gets a T. Tick, tick, tick ...

I think as usual the cream will rise to the top and rotations will tighten up soon enough. As usual somebody won't be happy about it but, welcome to the NBA.

[Gladiator]

I wonder who we'll take with the 10th pick at next year's draft?

[Superbone]

It's unfortunate that we waited until the 4th quarter to start playing some real D. Booker was the lone bright spot for me. However, I think there was a lot of overreaction in this thread. We've got a lot of new guys. Let's give them a little bit of time to get their act together. I think they'll come out focused on Friday. They had better.
