I'm going to try. Got up at 3 AM today. Now I understand why it throws off the time clock.

I'd rather stay up Saturday night. But, no. I'm recording it and will watch with my morning coffee like I did today.

CNN has an article up about the NBA in China, and it's very Suns (Booker especially) heavy. Apparently it's almost like a home game for us over there.

I'm glad Devin Booker looked to score in the second half of the first game there.

Maybe you can give us a wake-up call.

I would rather work all night than get up that early.

I didn't know Devin Booker and Shawn Marion hosted a basketball clinic in China.

That's cool. I saw a lot of pics of Book and Marion on social media today but wasn't sure the context. Really love how Ishbia has tried connecting the Suns past to the present and Book is also a student of the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

These are the Suns starters.

It's hard to feel right. ASU lost a football game last night.

Going for the trifecta... ASU, Suns and Cardinals games.

Some appropriate music for fans getting up early for the game.

Jalen Green will not play. Of course, Mark Williams will not play either.

It's more of the plan thing for Koby Brea.

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns control the tip.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso scores. Goal tending called.

 

[Mainstreet]

And another 2 for Oso.

Nets lead 5-4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Like the way the Suns defense collapses when the ball goes inside.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are bringing the energy early this game. They lead 21-12.
