Ayton seems so surprised to get accurate and catchable passes.

Pretty good start. We look like a real team. Booker already looking amazing. Cam Johnson holding his own out there and playing good defense.

I know it’s preseason and I know it’s just the first quarter but I’m so happy to see Suns basketball again and to see them start off well.

A little bit of a sloppy start but we're an NBA team this season. Booker just looks unstoppable and can score from anywhere at any angle it seems. Ayton's gotta stop being surprised at passes but he's had two nice moves in the post when he got fed cleanly. Ricky is everything we need on both sides of the ball. There's a rhythm and steady hand at point now and his defense is going to be huge on the perimeter.

2nd unit was Carter, Tyler, Ty, Frank and Diallo. Ty looks very comfortable on the floor.

The bench looks really ragged so far in the second quarter.

Seeing some Rubio/Ayton chemistry which is nice.

Cam Johnson's first shot of the game is deep behind the top of the 3 point line and he nails it with a quick release.

Ayton has 16/10 and the first half isn't even over.

Suns 56-54 at the half. The offense wasn't quite as prolific in the 2nd quarter.

KAT is so good. The Suns are missing Oubre, Bridges and Baynes so far.

Carter doesn't look like an NBA player.

/r/nbastreams is down (it's been a long time lol). Sportsurge is definitely where it's at! Watching now. Thanks!
