I can't see Bud showing his hand against a potential playoff opponent in the preseason. Nurk might see some time if he's healthy but I could see 2/3 of the big 3 sat and a lot of subbing happening.

Devin Booker (ankle), Jusuf Nurkic (finger), Grayson Allen (Achilles) and Josh Okogie (hamstring) won't play tomorrow at Denver, Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said.

Isn't it, frankly, mainly because the Nougats played the Celtics twice that the Nougats are 0-2?

[shrug] The Suns would probably be 0-2 after two games against the Celtics.

It's preseason. There's zero reason to pay attention to a team's record when they're competing in meaningless exhibitions.

I don't even mind. More minutes for the rookies.

I don't know if it's the glasses, but Ryan Dunn looks more like my accountant, than my wing for the Phoenix Suns.

I don't know if it's the glasses, but Ryan Dunn looks more like my accountant, than my wing for the Phoenix Suns.

What's with the glasses? Is it just for looks? Is he wearing contacts out on the court but doesn't like to wear them off? Inquiring minds want to know.

With a depleted roster Suns fans will get a good look at their depth.

As previously mentioned, Nurkic, Booker, Allen and Okogie are OUT.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are the Suns starters. This could be a long game but at least we see the bench.

Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Tyus Jones are resting.

Bol Bol never gonna give up his starting role. A legend is born tonight!

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jokic has grown a beard.

O'Neale nails a three. Suns lead 3-2.

 

[Yuma]

Suns start with three straight 3 pointers!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn and Morris hit threes as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's former Nuggets against the Nuggets.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dunn with another three.

Oso now enters the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

The shot-put shot by Oso is ugly if he is not close to the basket.

 

[Yuma]

Going to the game Thursday. Hoping I see a great game by Dunn and Oso.

 

[Proximo]

I really like Dunn.

 

[Yuma]

The shot put shot by Oso is ugly if he is not close to the basket.

It will get more range in the pros. He's going to get stronger, and take a lot more reps in the pros than he did in college.
