Suns are getting waxed by the NBA’s 22nd-ranked offense and have only managed 37 points on sub-40% shooting against its worst defense. Devin Booker is 1-for-7 and the Suns are shooting 2-for-16 from 3. Group looks despondent – 8:59 PM

Not exactly an encouraging start in terms of the Suns putting yesterday’s defensive film session into action. The Wizards, the NBA’s 22nd-ranked offense, already have 15 points in less than 5 minutes on 6-of-10 shooting – 8:18 PM

Talked with Bradley Beal a little while ago about his right ankle sprain.
“Today, I woke up a lot better, I can put a lot of weight on my foot. I can walk around. Very promising.”
When asked if he’ll back within 2 weeks, he said, “I hope so.”
Suns official update Monday. #Suns – 7:47 PM

Overall, looking at the talent on Detroit, Washington, Charlotte and San Antonio the teams aren’t as bad talent wise as their records are.
It feels like 3+ years ago they would be your average bad team, goes to show the caliber of play in the league is at an all time high. – 6:11 PM
