I probably won't be able to comment in this thread for the game but it would be cool if we could ramp up this board again for the season.

I'm not optimistic about this season, but since it's early and we are currently undefeated, Go Suns!

I think we are wearing the black PHX uniforms tonight. Maybe they will wear those more often while only wearing the orange crush & grey once or twice a year?

As for the team, I think they are better than last season's team. Unfortunately they will still have to fight hard to get in the playoffs.

Both Weems & Leuer have surprised me during the preseason.

I see maybe 47-48 win team that is improved on defense. Markief still worries me he might go off the rails at some point if he isn't traded. I expect Tucker to be traded. We have better players who need those minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we sneak into the playoffs.

I'm really excited to see Devin Booker and his sharp shooting on display.

I doubt he will get that many minutes. Less than 10 would be my prediction.

I hope that's not the case. I think he can be a vital contributer this season.

Well, there are only 96 minutes to share at the guard positions. 70+ minutes will likely go to the two starters. That leaves 26 minutes to divide between the Price, Booker, & Archie. Weems could cut into that as well.

I don't think Orange is alive anymore

 

[Davis_Mike]

Marcus with another good night. 14/5/1 with 3 minutes left in the game.

I could see Booker getting about 12-15 mins a game, but obviously if he wants get closer to 15 he'll have to outplay Price & Archie. Not like those two are exactly world beaters either. He'll get some chances.

Who cares. I honestly wouldn't care if he finished top 5 in the league in scoring, getting rid of him is addition by subtraction. Now we just need cry baby Markieff to buy-in and grow up.

I like the black alternates, they look sharp.

I'm not optimistic on this season either, I said 41-41 yesterday on a different site.

Tucker picks up 2 quick fouls

 

[Davis_Mike]

trying to hard to force the lobs to Tyson.

 

[Davis_Mike]

A bunch of chippy cheap fouls in this game.

 

[Davis_Mike]

B Knight looking good.

 

[SpartyNash13]

This has been a sloppy quarter

 

[Davis_Mike]

Kieff picking up cheap fouls chirping again.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Playing like shit. The offense looks like shit. The defense is committing too many fouls.
