Suns @ Lakers Sunday game thread, October 6th 2024: Preseason

[Mainstreet]

This may be too obvious to bother observing, but it occurred to me anyway. Tyus Jones' highly efficient, seemingly conservative style of ballhandling makes Jones sound, in the abstract, like the polar opposite of Steve Nash. An anti-Nash. Nash's highly creative, risky passing sounds like what Jones would never do. I'm sure Jones doesn't lack creativity; he just doesn't appear to use as much of it.

I will take making the right play any day.

I've never thought of Steve Nash as flashy, just good. Maybe SSOL and the offense they ran in Dallas gave that appearance.

Lebron James and Anthony Davis will start for the Lakers tonight.

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.

Bud says Nurkic, who is out tonight, is making progress.

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.
