With the pre-game episode involving Ray Allen, Qin Yue and the team officially welcomed their first home game after five consecutive away games.
Looking at the main framework, the Supersonic still seem like the Supersonic.
But in the first offensive possession after the tip-off, all the Warriors players except Qin Yue clearly felt the change in this Supersonic team.
Last season, under the command of head coach Nate McMillan, the Supersonic's average points allowed per game was around 97.
Their comprehensive offense and defense were impressive at the time.
But this new season, the person wielding the coaching baton is Bob Weiss, who has been away from the NBA for as long as twelve years...
The Supersonic's average points allowed in their first eight games reached a staggering 106.5 points.
How should one describe the defense report card that the Supersonic handed in?
Simply put, compared to them, the always-no-defense Suns even seem defensively stronger.
