Dream debut for Jalen Green tonight. 29 PTS in 23 MIN. Set the Suns record for most threes made in a debut (6). Phoenix needed another playmaker/ball handler and they got one. This team looked more exciting to watch than last year.
Nick Smith Jr. threw up during halftime because he was playing through sickness. He's on a 2-way contract, so he knows opportunity is rare for him. He knew he had to play. He put up 25 PTS, 6 AST, 5-6 3P, this could change his career.
It's quite possible Russell Westbrook isn't on an NBA team to begin the season. The Kings are one team that have interest in him, but they don't have a roster spot available.
They've been trying to trade Malik Monk to make room for him.
"I can tell you because I had a front row seat for it — Amen isn’t just gonna be great. Amen is gonna be crazy."

"I really came here at 19 years old still eating Skittles before games, and I’m leaving here as a father. If I bust y’all a** for 30 next season, just remember the good times."
