Can't wait. Thank you to the WatchESPN app, I can get errands done while watching it.

Chriss getting up for the block.

Bender looking active. Only player to score so far. On defense, we have him chasing guards around the three-point line instead of guarding the paint.

[carey]

Bender has had some wide open looks for 3 but he's been long. Maybe pressing a bit.

I gave up on cable when I realized I only really used it to watch the Suns. I really wish the NBA would just do away with their blackout crap on league pass. Would make it much easier to watch.

He moves really well. He was behind that guard who had the ball and he overtook him to get back on defense.

[carey]

Booker with our first made basket 5 minutes into the game. A dunk on the feed from an Ulis steal.

[carey]

Bender might pull down 20 boards. Lol.

[EDC]

Bender with no fear. He isn't hitting his shots but that is probably nerves.

[carey]

Ulis drained a mid range J for our 2nd basket. Suns lead 7-0.

[Cap]

booker with the post up and the feed to Williams! That was a nice play.

[carey]

11-2 after a sweet dime from Booker to WIlliams.

[carey]

Chriss' 2nd jump is faster than a lot of guy's first jump. Very Marion-esque in that regard.

[EDC]

OH MAN. Chriss with the sweet move to the basket!

[ShelC]

Ulis doesn't look as small as I thought he would, but he's definitely frail looking. Just not a lot of weight on his frame.

Chriss is a long, rangy athlete with some nice perimeter skills, good awareness but not great around the basket in traffic. Had a pretty shake and bake move going right 1on1 from the top of the key with a spin left for the lay in. A lot of potential there.

Bender looks well built, pretty solid and proportional, real quick and agile for a guy his size. Picked up the PG full court defensively, then grabbed the board and brought the ball up. A couple of 3s haven't fallen but he's certainly not overwhelmed. None of the guys are for that matter. We look real good, shots just aren't dropping.

[Cap]

Chriss' 2nd jump is faster than a lot of guy's first jump. Very Marion-esque in that regard.

He'd be having a great game but for the missed gimmes.
