Suns escape the Mavs when they fouled with 0.8 seconds left 114-113. Their 8-1 start ties their best start in 2009-10 with two wins over Dallas already this season.

Bronny in his G-league debut:
2/9 FG, 0/4 3PT, 1/1 FT
6 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 5 turnovers, -1 in 31 minutes

Can't shoot in that league either.

What's your deal with stats nobody cares about?

Jesus Christ Kyrie torched us tonight.

Joker was too good, though. Just for @Tung Fu ru :
37 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals on 62/100/100 shooting splits.

Well at least the Broncos suffered a heart-wrenching loss

KD out with a leg strain, Suns win streak ends at 8. Still a hell of a start to the season.

Not that it means that much in the long run, Suns being the Suns.

Bronny's clearly going to be both the MVP and Rookie of the Year.

Doc river coaching or its just the team …..
Wasn't Doc rated a top 15 NBA coach of all time during the NBA's 75th anniversary?

Speaking as a lifelong Celtics fan and watching his entire run in Boston, I've never seen a coach consistently do less with more. As much mileage as he's gotten out of his one title here (which should have been at least 2 if he'd known how to call plays, like in Game 7 in 2010 in LA) the secret to his longevity has nothing to do with his coaching skills. Lots of people don't remember he was such an underachiever that the Celtics were taken to 7 games by the lowly Hawks in the first round (and for that matter, Tom Thibodeau was the real coaching MVP of the Celts back then).

He's a former player, affable with the media, charming, and has a rep as a player's coach (i.e. doesn't know how to create his own plays unless he has at least a half-dozen assistants like he did in Boston). For God knows what reason he's impervious to his own failings and gets gigs time after time. He'll go back to announcing if anyone wises up and realizes he sucks as a coach and has coasted off a single championship which anyone could have won with that '08 squad.

Doc is a paradox. He's both a fantastic and horrible coach at the same time.

He's really good at standing on the sidelines and looking like he knows what he's doing, and his post-game sessions sound reasonable. Then you take a step back and look at how often his teams choke away playoff leads despite the talent his teams have had over the years and wonder, "why is this guy still taken seriously at his profession, let alone for the past 10 years?"

Doc Rivers is a bitch because he was on those Knicks teams the Bulls beat in the playoffs in the 90s.

But I guess he's a solid player and coach.

He was a good player but he is a terrible coach who throws his players under the bus. He did it again with Dame last season.
Most peeps here could have won 2 championships with the Celtics back then.
