Chris Paul has a cast on left arm. James Jones said he would be ready.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ty-Shon Alexander (4-5) is playing well with 9 points. He gets a turnover trying to feed Stix down low.

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix hits the three.

He has 9 points and 6 rebounds.

 

[Folster]

Stix finally nailed a 3.

 

[Folster]

I don't like how much standing in the corner in this offense. I'd like to see some cuts to the basket.

I especially don't like to see Stix hanging out in the corner shooting threes but the Suns may see him as a stretch 4.

 

[Finito]

Stix needs to touch it every time down court. A lot of hero ball but that’s up to the coaches to call that

 

[Mainstreet]

There we go. Stix with the slam on the fastbreak.

He follows up with a 3-pointer and free throw.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Getting a little momentum and the Lakers come right back and make a run. I like Jaleen Smith. He’s played well tonight. Alexander had a solid first half. Stix needs to get some DAWG in him and idk if that’s something that he can develop but a mean streak and motor is what this kid needs if he’s going to hack it in the league. Love that a lot of our guys are in Vegas to celebrate Payne’s birthday.

I think the Suns need to get Stix slicing to the basket more in the future.

 

[Finito]

Stix 15 points 11 rebounds through 3 quarters

his motor isn’t a question it’s clear they want him in the corner

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix should have shot that three instead of passing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Now Stix with nice pass to Jaleen Smith.

 

[Finito]

Even the announcers pointing out the suns not involving Stix in the offense. These guards are out here playing ugly hero ball.

they shouldn’t have a possession where he doesn’t touch the ball

 

[Mainstreet]

Announcers get on Stix for standing in the corner on last possession and not going after the ball in the lane.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns lose opener 73-72. Stix missed the rim on last second three pointer for chance to win.

 

[Finito]

15/12 but that was pretty much after 3 nothing in the 4th

even Ty Shon Alexander didn’t get much run

I’m honestly mad at these coaches a lot of guys who have no hope to make this roster trying to play hero ball this should 100% be about Alexander and Stix

 

[Mainstreet]

Jalen Smith finishes with 15 points and 12 rebounds.

Ty-Shon Alexander had 11 points and 2 assists.
