It's gonna happen. Rod will run 2nd unit and win 6th man of year.

His mechanics are okay. He loses focus. Hope he improves.

Goberts line looks real nice. 4-7 from the field (including a bucket from outside the paint!), 13-14 from the free throw line!!! wtf, 5 offensive boards and 10 total rebounds along with 21 points (double double and led the jazz in scoring!) plus 3 blocks and a steal in 28 minutes.

I feel like griffin does this every preseason, maybe doc just needs to release him... otherwise I'm not too worried

Gobert looked great. However he still has a tough time securing lose balls. Could've had more bords. He needs to keep the ball over his head. Far to often he'd bring it down and get stripped.

But damn!!! 13/14 ft's. Hope that continues. Like to see him hit 65%+ this year
I read some Suns blogger tweet that Exum couldn't hang with Booker.
then when Zach Harper challenged him, he stated as a reason for his tweet that Booker had 7 pts in the first 8 minutes.
So I watched the game to see what all the fuss was about. LOL. How are those people being PAID to talk about basketball? HOW? Dante finished 2/4 for 5pts, 4ast in just 13 mins and was blowing past Booker on a whim on O. Can you guess how many of the 7 pts of Booker in the first 8 minutes were with Dante guarding him? Yep you guessed it - ZERO. Booker had 0 pts with Exum guarding him until the end of the second quarter, when he made his sweet baseline move... for which I give him props, especially finishing with Gobert around the basket. But that doesn't change that Booker had absolutely nothing going while Exum was guarding him. They tried to post him up against Dante. LOL! 4 times!!! Earl Watson might not be a particularly smart coach after all... The first time he tried turnaround jumper with Exum in his face. I don't think he expected the length... bad miss. The second time Booker tried to establish position on the left block at around 12 feet... Dante bodied him out to the 3p line. LOL... FAIL. 3d time they called a foul on Exum on the entry pass(good call). 4th time they called another foul on Dante on the Booker move to the inside which was a horrible call. There was no foul at all and was perfectly defended by Exum. All in all, Booker was 1/3 for 2 pts for the whole time Exum was on him. Yeah, sure... he can't hang. Let the fiesta of delusion continue...

An interesting stat study would be game attendance to FT percentage, meaning does the volume of the crowd affect player's FT's? Just a thought I had since the Phoenix arena was basically empty and Gobert looked like Steve Nash from the FT line. Certainly it wouldn't have an affect for a lot of players shots, but I wouldn't be surprised if it affected some players. A better study (but much harder to obtain the necessary information) would be the decibel volume to FT percentage.
I don't about that. There were some positives in the game though.
