[BirdGangThing]

Yeah let's get the trio out por favor

 

[95pro]

If I am Monty, I am calling JJ after the game and saying, "Dude, you got rid of Ayton and brought in ALL these shooters AFTER I left? WTF?"

If I am JJ I’m responding back “you would’ve had all these guys in your doghouse already, and some aren’t son in-law material.”

 

[Yuma]

Beal with the slip and slide...

 

[SunsTzu]

Would like the big 3 pulled at this point.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Eubanks cutting to the basket like that has to be very refreshing for Book

 

[BirdGangThing]

Grayson with the swatamus prime

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal can play point guard nicely.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Eubanks with the block too

 

[Yuma]

Eubanks stopped a dunk

 

[Mainstreet]

Eubanks fouled but I don't mind.

 

[95pro]

Beal looks a step slow, honestly thought he was quicker.

 

[Yuma]

We hit a bit of a lull in scoring.

 

[SunsTzu]

Beal can play point guard nicely.

He had a really nice snake dribble through the lane to set up Eubanks on one play.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Grayson is just everywhere trying to disrupt everything on defense - unaccountable yet somehow surmountable - type of plays you need at crucial points of the game - color me impressed

 

[Mainstreet]

I like Isaiah Stewart a lot for the Pistons.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

We hit a bit of a lull in scoring.

Still on pace for 24 in the quarter. Obviously a far cry from 46 in the last quarter though.

 

[Hoop Head]

Started watching when the 2nd quarter started. Beal looks great. Really surprised how he's playing more of a PG role and attacking.

Booker is always a spectator in preseason. I'm fine with it. It's like he is out there to see who he can trust later.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal looks a step slow, honestly thought he was quicker.

Beal is as quick as he wants to be.

 

[95pro]

I like Isaiah Stewart a lot for the Pistons.

Really? I thought he was terrible.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk back on the court and communicating with book

You gotta go back and watch the first quarter.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Up by 20pts but we're still closing out 3s on defense as if we we're tied

 

[Mainstreet]

Really? I thought he was terrible.

I guess we see different things. He is a nice young player.

 

[Folster]

Nurkic brings the ball up and drops an assist to KD a la Jokic.

 

[SunsTzu]

Lol, refs just let the Suns get away with not inbounding the ball.
