Royce had some serious butter fingers early but his D on Cade was very good and he started to hit his 3s

We need to be careful not to take 3s just to take them. It's a balance and it feels like some of those were forced. KD and Book are two midrange assassins and we shouldn't lose sight of that when the 3s aren't falling.

Bud is giving everyone some time - saw Frank, Bol and Gillespie in the 2nd qtr. I'd like to see that Frank/Oso frontcourt a bit more. Plumlee might end up our 3rd string big. Dunn is looking very good and if he keeps up the shooting he's an outright steal for us.

Suns broke it open, Beal got it going and Suns up 16. Time to pull the main guys.

I'm loving what I'm seeing from the offense and the Suns rookies. I'm so stoked for this season.

Yeah I'm good with having Plumlee just playing the role of seat warmer all year. Rather go Oso and Frank.

Said it last game
Gillespie just gives a vibe that he's not phased and believes he can get to his shots/ spots regardless of opposition

Really like the overall vibe of the team so far. Dunn and Oso are a lot of fun. KD had a nice game with 21. Book shot 4-13, seemed to be forcing it to try to show off in his home town. And Tyus Jones has some nice passes every game. Really the only rotation guy I'm not very impressed with so far is Plumlee, but I bet I'll like him better when we are not trying to rely on him as a starter.
