Even Devin Booker is at the game in addition to Cam Johnson. Also saw James Jones.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Stix should have shot that three instead of passing.

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

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

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

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
