    It was a joke on "80pt game incoming" I meant Jalen's guarding Maxey, so Maxey's scoring 80. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

    Suns Coach Ott deserves Coach of the Year votes.

    What if the problem wasn't Jalen?

    I think it was, but if not then we probably made a massive mistake.

    His 3 assists to 2 turnovers was truly impressive

    I don't think Jalen ever had a "vet mentor" coming into the league, he said it himself in an interview that he never had to do rookie duties or nothing. I think he turned out well despite it, in that he's arrogant or a headcase. But having Booker there instead of EGo and KPJ might do wonders for his game!

    I'm still rooting for him, but I hope he scores 0 points against us every single time we meet.

    He had silas as a coach, and silas wanted kpj to be the man... and put jg in the corner. And neglected alp. I really hated silas.

    Silas was so far out of his depth that I almost felt sorry for him.

    Almost.

    ...Ironically I think he'd be a great offensive coordinator for us this season, but that ship has loooong sailed.

    36%, one of his best shooting games of his career.

    Back with the 35% FG unfortunately

    I'm good with KD 17/4/7

    Suns will get a few thrills when he has a monster game or dunk every now and then, but they'll realise eventually that the 40pt games on 60% from deep are just the fool's gold that allows him to start even when he probably shouldn't.

    We never saw Jalen with floor spacers and a 5-out offense. We drafted Sengun and then Amen Thompson. We never saw him even share the floor with Sheppard last year.

    Maybe Jalen will thrive in the 6th man role many of you guys projected for him.

    Almost as impressive as calling a timeout when not having any timeouts.....almost

    The NBA is an odyssey. You never know where you end up.....

    AAU, Ignite, Silas could not help him with development.

    Udoka gave him structure, Booker will make him another Booker lite.

    Ott will be tremendous.
