Brendon Kleen of @justbasketballfans breaks down the game, including Booker’s excellence late, the gutsy role player performances led by Josh Okogie, and the difference between perception and reality for the Suns’ offense in Game One.

Yooo brendon love your content but no way we watching the same game 😭😭🤣 yes we didn’t get out on the break that’s why score was low but OUR DEFENSE Omg holllly our DEFENSE was superb we held klay and Steph to like under 35 combined and DREEWWWWWWW was on the boardssss
Lots of turnovers KD didn't have a great game and no Beal and we still won. Nice.
A win is a win and the won ugly which you will take, but man do they need to improve over the next few months to be a serious contender. Okogie/nurkic looked great and Eubanks had some great moment which is encouraging.
Gotta figure Grayson will bounce back. My concern since Gordon signed was he is washed and tonight did not alleviate that especially since he kept pulling the trigger on some questionable looks.
How about Gordon starting? Nice one kleen
Havent watched your full video yet, but just want to say I was impressed with the Suns winning what I believe was an ugly game for them. It was nice to see the supporting cast step up and actually hit shots and make plays down the stretch when needed. Booker didnt need to put the weight of the moment on him and take every single shot, he passed it around and the role players made the shots when needed the most. That was sorely missing the last 2 seasons. Second, its only game 1 and this whole team is pretty much new when playing together. So its going to take time for them to know their role. So right now its still a learning curve for a lot of them. Heck 2 main players Nurcic and Grayson just came over to the Suns late in preseason. So excited to see when they finally put it together. And cant wait for Beal to come back and this team be at full strength. The Suns were owning the Warriors, they just had 1 bad 3rd quarter. But just think about it, the Warriors had to score 40 in the 3rd just to keep up and still lost. Think about it, really… And CP3 as I expected will end up being a bad fit for the Warriors as a starter. He slows them down too much.
U do excellent job everything is above expectations thank u 😊 love this podcast no cuzzin
Everybody not in game shape, on both teams.
Once the Suns fix their turnover issue and knock down shots they missed they will be nearly unbeatable. Suns Celtics Bucks and Nuggets are the 4 best teams in the league
Gordon and Allen won’t play that bad again that was rust
Suns played great defensively esp against running off screens chasing the splash bros.
Glad to see yuta getting minutes 😊
Nurkic is not afraid of contact . That’s why his screens are solid. He’s a better fit than DA was.
I'm disappointed to see that KD picked up from where he left off in the playoffs(struggling) hopefully he turns it around. I want him to succeed but i feel that the trade we made wasn't a good one. Great game from Book and J.O. great team win let's go Suns!
KD hasn't been himself lately, we need him to produce otherwise we won't get anywhere as a team!
As a Warriors and Suns fan (born in Phoenix, raised in the Bay Area) this matchup always has me torn. Felt like the Warriors needed this one more, but proud of the Suns for getting this win, especially with all this early season adversity. 💛💙💛💙🧡💜🧡💜
