Love to see Grayson jacking up 3s…that’s one thing that seems to be different this year as it looks like we are going to shoot 3s.

Vogel-esque

Second string offense seemed to flow better even though shots weren't falling. First string offense looked tentative.

The Clippers are fighting like crazy on defense, I'll be surprised if they can keep it up.
Love, Hurts.

Meh, game 1. I love that we’re shooting 3s…we were scoring fine with the starters in…just stopped hitting from 3.

Clippers really took away our initial actions on the DHOs and no one could create any kind of separation. Also, the spacing was off a few times in transition. Looks like guys are still used to getting to their spots. Boxing out is still an issue but the bench unit did a better job I thought. Hopefully the offense starts clicking.

This year feels so much different than last. I bet the suns to win the pacific,over win total, and Win the west. Love the makeup of this team. More 3s. Better D. Rooks that can contribute right away..and most importantly a PG in Tyus Jones

Clippers are playing really sticky defense and the refs are also letting them get away with a lot. I know hand checking is making a comeback but a foul is a foul.

The more I watch the more I don't think Nurkic understands the game.

This offense is so much prettier. Beal rejuvenated. Oso doing all the little things.

Nurkic fucking sucks

Oso is way better than I expected. The offense should be faster still.

I don’t know if it’s more our defense or the clippers offense, but we have not given up many points the last 12ish minutes of game time.

Brazil's Suns twitters calling this year Nurkic "Ozempic Nurkic", hilarious.

That 2nd unit was suffocating on D. Oso/Royce/Beal/Morris/Dunn
