Gerald Bourguet: It’s preseason, but so far the Suns are tied for 3rd in the NBA in 3PAs, at 44 per game. Bradley Beal talked about making that mental adjustment: “I’m trying to program myself to be more aggressive. Bud is forcing me to do that. He’s forcing all of us to be like that.”

That was a crazy fall by Beal as his legs were taken from under him by a Pistons player and he fell backwards with his knees bent.
Seems fine. Stays in the game, but that, wow. #Suns – 10:57 PM

The football continues as Beal got undercut just now. He looks fine and got up immediately but man that was scary after all the bad luck Beal had last year. – 10:56 PM

Pistons used screens to get Dunn off Cunningham.
Beal knocking down the 3 (2-of-4).
Royce O’Neale in game along with Ighodaro. Current lineup: Jones, Beal, O’Neale, Durant and Ighodaro.
Ighodaro a threat diving to the rim, which draws a defender to leave corner 3 open. #Suns – 10:26 PM

Duane Rankin: Bradley Beal said rookie Ryan Dunn is going to guard the other team’s best player “probably 10 times out of 10.” #Suns -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / October 12, 2024
Bradley Beal: “You get to a point where you’re like, ‘We’re gonna lose anyway.’ And it becomes normal. The guys around you aren’t mad anymore. And you just start looking forward to the first and 15th, the paychecks. When you’re young, that’s when it really messes with you because you’re still passionate, but the guys around you aren’t.” -via YouTube / October 10, 2024
The Washington Wizards have had one division title since 1980, which came in the 2017 season. Former Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal recollected that season, which saw the Wiz losing in seven games to the Boston Celtics. While on the Run Your Race Podcast, Beal talked about how his Wizards team would’ve proved to be a better matchup against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. “The 2017 team. We talk about it all the time. The Cleveland dudes were like ‘y’all lost.’ We felt like we woulda gave them a better matchup than Boston. Cause remember, we took Boston to seven (games) that year. Our team was going crazy. “That whole year with the Celtics, from ’16 to ’18, it was like their funeral. We’d wear black suits to the games.” -via Clutch Points / October 9, 2024
