Game was filled with Laker fans. Sounded like a lot of them. They were audibly gasping each time Bronny touched the ball. At the game it sure like KD blocked Bronny. It appeared like he was "above" Bronny and actually having to lower his arm down to block him. Replay angles almost couldn't catch what it looked like live.
The starters looked good. Looks like they are serious of high thirties low forties on three attempts per game. They are working the threes into the flow of the game so it doesn't look like they are just shooting from three just to get the numbers up. There were a couple times you can see, especially from above, that guys in the paint only had to turn around when they had the ball down low to lay it up, or possibly dunk. They tended to throw it back out to the three point line on these deep catches in the paint. Perhaps there's just a little too much passing. Both PGs seem to be better three point shooters than pundits say.
Defense looked like our PGs ended up behind or on the hips of opposing guards quite a bit. The team helped on D well. Finally glad to see we are not sending our Centers out to guard the three point line, but rather try and slow down guys racing to the rim on us. Seems like we drop our centers a bit more. I know announcers stress this on Oso, but you can see Nurk and Plumlee doing it too.
I think this team will be much more watchable. After watching a hot AD exploit us, perhaps our trade should be for a strong defensive big?
Yes, it sounded like the crowd was full of Lakers fans.
The Suns are blessed to have two point guards that are good three point shooters, three if one counts Collin Gillespie who is on a two-way contract.
Anthony Davis made the Suns look small, though. This remains a concern going forward. AD was also 4-9 from three.
