Book will definitely be scoring 25+

 

[Chaplin]

That was pretty impressive. Not championship winning calibre, but impressive nonetheless.

 

[Dback Jon]

I enjoyed that game so much more than the trash last year

 

[Hoop Head]

I'm glad Sabonis didn't play. I imagine we would have seen more Williams and possibly Maluach if he did. Need to take these games when we can.

nice game to start the season - the second half gave us so much more to digest - some clear roles and court respect got defined - the come back from behind only made it sweeter- book looks happy everybody looks happy- dtv started off awkward but is exactly as advertised- Williams is the clear #1 - dunn grayson gillespie oneale all repped the old school well - didn't see any rookies due to not being blown out but we can live with that

 

[Phrazbit]

The Kings are a bad team, but that was fun.

The energy was night and day from the last 2 years.

ott tinkered alot - that Grayson gillespie combo while book was on the bench tho... forgetaboutit

 

[Hoop Head]

I'll take the fight exhibited in the second half over the nonsense we saw last season every day, even if it didn't lead to a win. This was a fun game. I'd rather not see Brooks take 5 more shots than Book but he really didn't take many bad shots so ultimately I can't knock him much for that. It took pressure off of Book knowing he wasn't the only guy looking to score.

Good 2nd half rally against a short-handed Kings team. I'd grade out Book's performance as like a C+. Bad first but turned it around in the 2nd half. Too many TO's from him, but efficient from the field, free throws not so much. Lots of energy and hustle from the team overall, which allowed them to steal this one in the 3rd and early 4th, then being able to hold off the Kings late rally.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns won the second half, 66-45.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Book will definitely be scoring 25+

books about to be an all star again

Ayton getting ripped nationally is the funniest thing ever. Going to the Lakers is a near death sentence for his career if he keeps dogging it

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker, 10-19, for 31 points with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 6 turnovers.

 

[Chaplin]

Devin Booker, 10-19, for 31 points with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 6 turnovers.

And he was pretty terrible in that first half.
