In today's episode Ale and Matt close the book on the pre-season with recaps of the Spurs and Suns games - including reactions to a monster 18-steal night, Ace scoring 12 points on just 3 shots, and…
Okay,
First off, let's talk about them in aggregate.
Because this is a team that has been predicted to be very close to the Jazz in the standings going forward.
We've talked about that in previous episodes.
The Suns are a team that are projected to have a similar talent level, projected to have a similar record as us going forward this coming season.
And they are having great aspirations.
Their owner just said today that he's expecting them to win a playoff series.
So...
That's a little bit beyond what our owner has expressed, but I think that our owner is expecting development, expecting, you know, growth this year.
And I feel like we're very much in that same breath with the Suns on, you know, we could possibly win a playoff series this year if we have everything fall right.
Benchwarmers, we played against none of their starters.
No one was in the game.
I think that the only players that I saw that were given any meaningful time were a little bit of Harrison Barnes, who started a lot of games last year, but he's probably not going to play a lot for the Spurs this year.
And then they also had their sixth man of the year.
Oh, my word, I'm blanking on his name.
There we go.
he was okay.
