My first reaction is actually that the Suns are a significantly impaired team compared to last year. They’re nowhere near as good. Chris Paul becoming more of a mentor than a key player is a big step backwards. I expect them to struggle, relatively speaking. Maybe they can win 50ish games.
As for the Mavs? Yikes. This is a very concerning loss. They’re clearly a player short. THJ was supposed to be that guy. But he sucks. The rest of the team are good role players and Wood can finish plays. But none of them can really put it on the floor and beat you.
Luka had a great effort tonight and Wood looks like he can step into Zinger’s role, but there’s not much else to like.
