I can't wait to see what a Coach Ott team looks like tonight! I'm most curious to see what we look like offensively and defensively as well as the rotations and player combinations.

With Green out, does CG get the start or do they stick with PointBook, maybe put Allen at the 2 and Dunn at the 3? Feels like we haven't heard too much on CG or Royce in camp?

What’s up guys? Another Suns year begins. How many years has it been now with this place? Let the pain and suffering begin.
At what point do they say let’s trade Booker to a contender to let him get a Championship and officially start a rebuild? I don’t know how many more team rebuilds Booker has in him. He’s at his peak right now. Not five years from now. I hope I’m wrong and this team goes on to be the Cinderella team sort of like the Mercury.
My gut says they will be mediocre at best this year and at some point a trade is made before the deadline involving Booker. That would mean another several more years before the next Championship caliber team has any hopes at developing. The curse of the Suns fan.
I know, quit being a Debbie Downer nodack and just enjoy the game for what it is. Entertainment. Like every off season, I shy away from anything Suns. I prefer to come in with a blank canvas starting at the first preseason game and then start finding out who made the cut. I have zero expectations, which is sort of nice. Maybe there is a gem in there somewhere. I guess we won’t know until they play the game. Please surprise me Suns.
The Lakers, James, Doncic, Ayton. Going to be such an easy team to hate this year.
Glad you're back, 'Dack.
But I think you're wrong about Booker. I know you don't pay attention to what's going on Suns in the offseason but everything Booker says points to him being a Suns lifer. He wants a championship here not elsewhere.
Everything I have ever heard about Booker says the same thing. Thought Marion would be a lifer. Nash to the Lakers. Stuff happens. Maybe they offer the Suns a boat load of high picks at some point and they go for it.

I'm not ruling it out at the end of his career.

Hey, it's better than to speak his mind. Like, "Who knows? I hope he can bring more consistent effort than he did when he was with us."

Not even a bumper sticker, PR response like "He'll do a lot for them scoring inside, rebounding and defending the rim".

Is this game going to be televised anywhere? Looks like just nba tv, but I thought I'd ask in case I'm stupid.

Lots of nice off the ball movement so far
Oso setting those high screens been effective and he already had a nice pass from the high post
Good stint for Grayson

No Luka or LeBron
I don't care, our defense has been quite active and as stated in the training camp clips we will be applying more ball pressure and not sitting back in drop coverage on screens
Pace of play is also good

Nice to see NHD contributing right away.
Oso's free throws... yikes!
Great energy so far.

You can tell these are Lakers announcers because they just went on a couple minute talk about how Austin Reaves is going to be an All-Star this year.

NHD surprised with a pull up 3 in transition. Has a hitch in his shot and missed his next two but yeah he's been doing the little vet things as advertised
Yeah bummer on Oso and the FTs although the action at the line looks a little more fluid

Oh
Forgot to mention that Oso is clamping on D and the guy(s) keep trying to attack him off the dribble
That's all I will say

I like our ball pressure
No guard likes that don't care how nice your handles are, it's annoying being picked up full court all the time lol
Then there are bigs across the league like Jaxson Hayes tonight who can be called for a moving screen (sticking hip/leg out) almost every possession so expect Dunn to earn those calls often
