I would have thought the opposite since it’s Detroit but maybe he got his hometown visits in already.

He played there, we're back in Phoenix so no need to play against a lottery team.

It's starting to bother me some when player's have an open lane and take a 3 instead. I get it, 3 > 2, but the fact guys pass up guaranteed 2's on fast break like situations is frustrating. Maybe that's a sign I'm not longer getting old and have hit that dreaded "old age" stage of life. Will my anger and confusion grow as years go on or will guys start taking the points? I don't know. Minor rant over.

I didn't get to watch the entire game, but it looks like the Suns depth took a hit tonight.
Still want to sign Collin Gillespie to a long term regular contract.

Duane Rankin tells it like it is, describing the game last night.

The second half looked like the Suns were bored. I don't remember when I zoned out time wise. My final straw was sometime in the 3rd when there was a bad pass that led to a turnover but Tyus stole it right back and the Suns had a clear 2 on 1 advantage because guys had already flown down the opposite end of the court but he jacked a bad quick 3, like he didn't set for it really just rushed behind the line and threw it up. The shot missed and Pistons got an uncontested board while Tyus and someone else on the Suns took their sweet time getting back. It was ugly basketball and each time I'd look and check the score it was still a bad game with poor play with zero heart or urgency. It felt like watching the Suns scrimmage against a team who was playing to win.

I hope the Suns depth was not an illusion. As Duane Rankin points out, the Suns seem small without Nurkic. It goes back to their need for another rotation 4/5.
Also, rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro came back down to earth. I know the Suns were missing good players, but the effort wasn't there.

I hope this is not the case. Grayson Allen doesn't look to be in basketball game shape. All this muscle and/or weight doesn't look to improve his game.

Better off silent
He's played in one single preseason game. Sorry, but I think it's way overboard to start making judgements right now.
