You watch the guy and it's obvious he just knows how to play.

Just because? He's playing great out there. You just don't like the way he looks?

This has been such a satisfying game to watch. I love Ty Jerome! Having competent point guards is unbelievable.

Can't remember the last time I was impressed by almost everyone on the team. What world am I living in?

Elie has looked good on his two drives to the rim

The Suns second unit can't possibly be this good on a consistent basis. Ty Jerome has looked like Nash with his no-look, behind-the-head passes. I almost expected to see him do the Great Circle. Tyler looks like a perfect backup combo guard. Kaminsky looks like a perfect backup big man.

Based on this little stretch, I'd expect the Suns to be all the way up to the #6 seed in the playoffs. But of course they'll suck the next game and we'll complain about how bad they are. If they can play consistently well through preseason, I'll be more convinced.

But I'm putting money on the over-under on the team for sure.

Dialo is great on the glass but very raw offensively. I'd prefer he stick to defense and rebounds.

I'm liking Carter on defense.

Guy certainly looks athletic enough in the open court for me.

I don't remember the Suns having a good preseason game, where they built a lead with the starters and kept the lead for most of the game in such a long time. I did not have high expectations for the season, but I might start getting hyped.

Time to overreact! WCF here we come.

I also love how Williams called the time out just now. He wants to win the game.
