They got swept and all three starters were healthy. In addition, everyone is praising KD. I have no idea why people think this team is any better than last year. Booker seems uninterested after being so good before KD came to the team. Beal needs to retire because I don’t think he wants to play ball. KD is not a leader, he is just a very good shooting guard. The team seems disjointed. Hopefully they can turn it around this year but I have to see a lot more games before I can say that they are any good. I am more high on the Lakers because they have been such a disappointing team with so many stars each year. Hopefully Lebron would stop being childish and take the games seriously. Hope the new coach and instill some discipline and get them to play as a team. Let’s see the first 15 games to get an idea of who is real and who is not going anywhere.

So SAS thinks all the Suns are great players but could not get the minimum salary players to play better because they are not great leaders. Perhaps who is on the floor matters.

The problem with Phoenix is they’re gonna score 140, but give up 150.

Coach Bud is a known entity who has lead a team to both an NBA title and the best record in the league. JJ Reddick has proven he can make friends with LeBron to help con the Lakers into hiring him to his 1st coaching job in life. Having given no one any reason to have faith in his non-existent coaching resume to draw any confidence from.

Looks like Devin Booker is embracing the role he played in the Olympics they will go far if he’s giving you only 15 to 20 a game what occasional big games here and there and he continues to be a Defender
