It was a preseason game. Our starters played together, looked good, Stotts benched them, which is fine. Did I mention it was a preseason game? In the 4th our bench players and rookies got quality time. Suns played their starters. This was a preseason game.
We have a front office and coach heading into their 6th season together, and as a whole it has been successful, not wild success but if you consider the massive rebuild that was needed in the wake of Aldridge leaving the coaches and FO have done well. Continuity and stability go a long way for a franchise.
