In the annual League Pass Rankings @ZachLowe_NBA and @RobMahoney have the Suns at No. 25. I'm biased but I think they'll be much more entertaining than that and pique interest. Young, scrappy, defensive, athletic and with Book's ability to explode offensively, worth the watch.

The Dillon Brooks Problem⁣ ⁣ Defenders were exploiting the "high five" rule to weaponize contact on Curry's shooting hand AFTER release. Brooks led the charge with reckless swipes that could've caused injury.⁣ ⁣ Finally, the league stepped in to protect shooters. About time.

Suns coach Jordan Ott said Jalen Green still hasn't done any live work since reaggravating his left hamstring injury. Green will miss the opener Oct 22. vs. Kings. #Suns

Asked the guys their favorite @NBA throwback jersey in honor of Jersey Day 💥

Unless im missing a game, this Nuggets lineup during that Bubble scrimmage was the tallest recorded starting 5 in NBA history The new Rockets jumbo lineup for Opening Night beats them by 1 inch: Amen (6’7”) Durant (6’11”) (also a lie) Jabari (6’11”) Sengun (6’11”) Adams (6’11”)

49% believe Suns will win between 26 and 39 games this season. #Suns

CP3: "We just need to communicate better." Meanwhile Kawhi:

Jordan Ott on Suns center rotation with Mark Williams, Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro and rookie Khaman Maluach. "It is going to be a fluid. We're all new to all this. The work and production matters most. There's been some of that we've seen in our building for the last however many months. Mark has done it. Mark has done it at a high level. Nick has done it. Oso spent one year in the league and Man-Man, we're trying to figure out. This is his first season. We saw it in the preseason as well as summer league. The highs and lows. That's what young guys do. On a night-to-night basis, we'll have plan going into it, but we have to be a little fluid as coaches and kind of read the games and see exactly who is impacting winning out there on the court on a night-to-night basis."
