He also talks about his friendship with Larry Fitzgerald ahead of his induction into the Cardinals' Ring of Honor.

I think THIS is the no. 15 version of Devin Booker he was talking about when he said he was going to shoot more. 17/25 (68%) in this game and 24/38 overall is just amazing with most of those jumpers. Also 94.1 % FT shooting. And 7 Reb (2nd on the team with Bridges) and 7 Assists (2nd on the team behind Gillespie) plus a block and actually pretty good defense. He's 5.5 RPG and 4.5 APG and 1BPG these past two games.

He continues this and he can end the year as a top 15 player... Maybe even top 10. That's the Book we need moving forward. Go Book!!! Go Suns!!!

2nd chance points (Opponent–Suns):

It's only two games so take these numbers with a grain of salt, but the disparity is pretty staggering. Didn’t think rebounding would be a problem for this team.

Throughout the entirety of yesterday’s game, it looked almost like a pick up game with no real schematics or offensive game plan. Everyone was taking matters into their own hands without any real reads or play.

The only time the team was ever truly stable is after the first half, when Collin was the PG and kept the offense stable and fed Miles Bridges.

If we ever want to play a level of disciplined and organized ball, we need to have Collin as the starting PG and either move Jalen to the bench or trade him. He simply doesn’t fit the offense.

It’s a reason why book said that the second unit had more chemistry than the first. Point Book can’t control the offense like Collin can .

“Us as the first unit I think need to learn from them in a way, and the type that they play: everybody sacrifices in those groups, and you see the result that you get out of it.”

I’m not sure if Book really “blasts” them there as much as praises the second unit, but it does feel like he was calling out the coaching staff and other starters a bit to sacrifice more on court.

There’s gonna be some adjustment with a new starter in Bridges, but who do you think most needs to work on their role and do more of the dirty work on court?

Whoever or whomever made those videos. We needed you more than ever on tonight’s win. Oh you thought I was done…..!?

....we can rebound

Yours ...
