I avoid using the word "flashy" because...it's bad. To call a player flashy is a criticism to me. Flashy is what Jason Williams was.

Yes, I used the word "flashy." I didn't intend to misstate your position if I did.

I view both Steve Nash and Tyus Jones as very fundamental, sound point guards. Of course, Nash played the game at a higher level.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's hard to believe game time is almost here, even if it is preseason.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic didn't have any wrap on his finger per this Duane Rankin tweet. The starters are listed below.

[Mainstreet]

I'm anxious to get a look at the newly coached Suns and new players. Also want to see their offensive and defensive strategy.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

AD with the dunk to open the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Reaves with a floater in the lane.

Booker answers with a three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

no turnover tyus is pretty smooth with them passes

 

[BirdGangThing]

did the suns getting a tanning bed sponsor or something

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Lakers leading 11-7.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bradley Beal doesn't appear anxious to shoot threes. He appears content to drive and play some point guard.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso is in the game and helps stop AD at the basket.

 

[BirdGangThing]

book single handedly keeping us in this game

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson Allen looks like a linebacker out there. His new weight will take some getting used too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is going to shoot the ball. No problem with that.

 

[Mainstreet]

Both Dunn and Oso are in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn misses his first FT but makes the second.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monte Morris is getting minutes as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Grayson make his FTs. His new build is going to take a while to accept.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Lakers 34 - Suns 25

[Mainstreet]

Bronny James is in with Lebron.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn hits the corner three. His shot looked good.

 

[Mainstreet]

We are getting a look at the sudden strike Suns as Tyus Jones hits a three.

Lakers lead 37-35.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal nails that three.
