‘We’ve got dogs’. Jalen Green loves how Phoenix Suns are playing

Suns‘ Jalen Greenโ€Œ Praises team Chemistry: ‘We’ve Gotโข Dogs’

FRESNO,โค Calif. – Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green is effusive inโ€Œ his praise of the team’s burgeoning chemistry, declaring “We’ve got dogs” after a recent show of support thatโฃ extended beyond the court. The โคsentiment comes following a remarkableโข performance fueled by teammate Grayson โฃAllen‘s encouragement โคand a important gesture of solidarity from the entireโ€Œ Suns roster.

Green’s recent success, โ€Œincludingโ€Œ a career-high shooting night, was directly linked toโข the on-court support ofโ€‹ allen. “With Jalen the whole game and Jalen just, every time I came back to โ€‹the โคbench, heโ€ was just amping me up,” allen said after the game. “‘Go for 40. Go for 50.Goโค to get 10, โคgo get 11, go get โ€‹12 3s.'” โ€ŒGreen added he frequently looked to โ€Allen for reactionโ€Œ and motivation.

The team’s commitment to Green extended off the court as well,โข with the Suns making a special trip to Fresno on Nov. 19 to attend his high school jersey retirement ceremony at San Joaquin โ€‹Memorial.Green described the event as “a surreal moment,” filled withโ€ emotion as he reunited with family, friends, former teachers, and coaches.

“That was super critically important,” โฃgreen said. “Super big for me for โ€Œthe team to pop out. Meant aโค lot to โคme. It was an off day. They didn’t even have to pull up at all. I knew that. โคI had that in mind going into the jersey retirement. I didn’t expect everyoneโข to come because we’ve been on the road. For everyone โ€to pop out, it meant a lot โ€Œto me.”

The Suns traveled from โฃPortland, where they โ€Œdefeated the Trail Blazers 127-110 โฃonโ€‹ Nov. 18, to Fresno for the ceremony beforeโฃ returning to phoenix. Suns assistant coach, Mike Ott, highlighted the team’s willingness to adjust โฃtheir schedule.”It was really cool,” Ott โฃsaid. “So โ€thankful โฃto fit it intoโ€Œ our schedule with the no practice day. Itโฃ wasโค easy to get in and out and the guys showed up for him. It was really cool to see theโ€ high school and allโ€Œ his teammates came back โฃalong with his family and โ€‹friends. It was cool to be a part of.”

Koreen (29): Like many of the teams up top, the Knicks have a classic color โฃscheme that they know works.

King (29): Shaq. Penny. Nick Anderson. Dennis Scott. Oh, how young Jay King wished that core could have stayed together โ€in the mid-1990s. At least I get reminded of them every โขtime I look โคat the beatiful star logo.

Jones (28): Simplicity wins โฃagain. Orlando didn’t have โขto do much, โ€‹and this is a great combination of incorporating the team’sโ€‹ colors and the star logo.

Koreen (24): The Magic’s colors and logo have always

DetroitPistonsDefeatBostonCelticsinHomeOpenerโค111-105

The โ€win marks a positive start to the Pistons’ season after a โ€recent โ€Œroad loss, and signalsโ€Œ aโฃ potential turning point for a franchise aiming to build momentum following meaningful โ€offseason changes. The game showcased the Pistons’ improved offensiveโ€ flowโฃ and defensive intensity, offering a glimpseโฃ of the โขteam’s potential under Coach โ€Monty Williams. This victory is especially meaningful for Detroit fans eagerโ€ toโ€Œ see sustained โขsuccess after years โ€Œof rebuilding.

Bold NBA 2025-26 season predictions: New champion, fresh faces in MVP race and more

Bold NBA 2025-26 Season Predictions: New Champion, Freshโข Faces in MVP Race and More

As theโ€Œ 2025-26 NBA season approaches, โ€Œanalysts are offering predictions rangingโ€‹ fromโ€ team success to individual accolades. Here’s a look at some of the most intriguing forecasts โ€‹for the upcoming year, based on recent reporting andโข observations.

Portland Trailโค Blazers: Yang Hansen’s Impact

Rookie Yang Hansen,โข the 7-foot-1 center drafted 16thโข overall โฃby the Blazers from China, is expected to make an immediate impact. Despite initial โ€Œskepticism surrounding the pick, Hansen’s unique skillset – combiningโค deft passing, long-rangeโฃ shooting, and agile footwork – has already impressed coach Chauncey Billups, who has declared him โขa rotation player. While not projected โคto outperform top pick Cooper Flagg, Hansen isโฃ anticipatedโข to be a captivating and effective contributor. As Jason Fast notes, “He will impress – and entertain.”

Sacramento Kings: Russell Westbrook‘s Potential

The Sacramento Kings’ acquisition of Russell Westbrook โ€‹presents a potentially positive scenario. Analyst Sam Amick suggests that Westbrook could thrive in a non-contendingโข environment, raisingโ€ the floor for a team with limited โ€‹ceiling. This differs significantly from his recent stints withโค high-expectation teams like โ€Œthe Lakers, Clippers, and Nuggets. The success of Westbrook could also impactโฃ the starting point guard position currently held by veteran Dennis Schrรถder.

San Antonio Spurs: Victor Wembanyama’s MVP Push

Victor Wembanyama โ€is poised for โ€a breakout season, with predictions placing him among โคthe topโ€ three contenders โคfor the MVP award. Jared Weiss observesโ€‹ that Wembanyama’s preseasonโ€ showcased a diverse skillset, hinting at a potentially unprecedented โ€‹stat line. If the Spurs can secure a top-six finish โฃin the Western Conference while Wembanyamaโฃ maintains impressive per-game statistics, he’s expected to challenge the lastโ€Œ two MVP winners.

Toronto Raptors: Ingram to Shine,Barnes to Fall Short

The toronto Raptors are โ€Œprojected to improve,and Brandonโ€ ingram is expected โขto beโ€‹ the โ€‹driving force behind that ascent. eric Koreen believes Ingram will be the โ€Œoffensive catalyst and highlights โ€his underrated defensiveโฃ value. โ€Ingram’s health will be crucial, but if โขhe staysโค on the court, โขhe’s โ€‹predicted to become โคa โขfocal point for opposing defenses and earn an All-Starโฃ selection. Conversely,Scottie Barnes is not expected to make the All-Star team.

Utah Jazz: Markkanen on the Move

The Utah Jazz are likely to trade Lauri Markkanen before the trade deadline.โข Zach Harper explains that the team’s โ€‹previous โคextension prevented themโค from โฃfully embracing a tanking strategy.Now, with the ability to trade Markkanen, โ€Œthe Jazz will seek to acquire additional assets, especially with a loaded โขupcoming draft, in their search for a franchiseโฃ player.

Washington Wizards: Shared โขScoring, Lowerโฃ Totals

The Washington Wizards โขare expected toโ€ embrace a more egalitarian offensive approach underโค Coach Brianโ€ Keefe, leading to a surprisingโ€‹ prediction: the team’s leading scorer will average underโข 20.0 โฃpoints per game. Josh Robbins points to the presence of veteran players like CJ McCollumโ€Œ and Khris Middleton, known forโข their โคteam-oriented play, and the potential for Cam Whitmore to come off the bench, as factors โขcontributing to a more distributed scoring load. โ€‹ Kyle Kuzma โ€‹(22.2 PPGโ€‹ two seasons ago) and Jordan Poole (20.5 PPG last season) previously led theโ€ team in scoring, but โ€a shift in philosophy is anticipated.

Title: Thunder Edge Rockets in Double-Overtime Victory on Championship Night

by Alex Carter - Sports Editor
written by Alex Carter - Sports Editor

Gilgeous-Alexander’sโค 45 Points Propel Thunder to Double-Overtime victory Over Rockets on Ring โ€Night

Oklahoma City – โคShai Gilgeous-Alexander โ€Œscored 45 points, โขleading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 124-118 double-overtime victory over the Houston Rockets on Tuesdayโข night, marking the celebratory opening night following theโ€‹ Thunder’s championship run.โฃ The game featured a tightly contested battle against a Rockets team ledโ€‹ by Kevin Durant, who finished with 31 points.

The Thunder received their championship rings in a pre-game ceremony, commemorating โขtheir historic season. though, the Rockets proved a formidable opponent, pushing the game into extended play. Houston, who finishedโค second in the Western conference last season, entered the game without point guard fred โขVanVleet, โคwho is sidelined for the season with aโฃ tornโฃ ACL sustained during a voluntaryโค workout. In his absence,โ€Œ second-year player Amen Thompson, a 6-7 guard, has stepped into the de facto point guard role, contributing 18 points and 5 assists in 39 minutes. The Rockets notably started a very tall lineup, averaging 413 inches in height across the five starters.

Durant, a 15-time All-star, is recoveringโค from a right unalunate ligament injury sustained on โ€April 9th, but opted to delay surgery until after the Thunder’s championship series. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault reported Durant is “progressing” and “right where he should be” in his recovery. Durant signed a โ€‹two-year,$90 million contract extension with the Rockets earlier this week,after being acquired in a significant seven-team trade.

The game saw severalโฃ dramatic swings.โข The โ€ŒRockets challenged the Thunder late, โขwith Alperen ลžengรผn alsoโฃ posing a threat. The Thunder themselves faced near collapses, mirroring moments from their playoff run last season. Notably, โฃthey โ€Œovercame โขa 10-point deficit late in Game 4 of the NBA Finals againstโฃ the โ€‹Indiana Pacers, fueled by 15 points from Gilgeous-Alexander in the final 4:38. They also rallied โคfrom โ€Œan 18-point deficit in Game 5, securing the win with four consecutive steals โ€Œand a 40-point performance from Jalen โขWilliams. โฃ Indiana laterโ€Œ forced a Game โข7 after a blowout victory in Game 6, butโ€ saw โฃtheir hopes dashed โคwhen Tyrese Haliburtonโฃ suffered an Achilles injury early in the game.

The โขThunder also โ€faced a seven-game series โ€Œagainst โฃthe Denverโ€ Nuggets in the Western โฃConference Semifinals and overcame a 42-point โคdefeat toโค the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Conference finals.

Despite the celebratory atmosphere and the โขhard-fought victory, Gilgeous-Alexander emphasized the need for continued improvement. “We have to be humble enough โ€Œto realize we need to get better,” he stated. “Itโข wasโฃ an amazing moment. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.”
