    Suns @ Rockets Wednesday game thread 2-12-2024

    It takes the other teams 2-3 qrts to figure out the Suns simplistic game plans and react with proper and tighter defense. That's the reason we gets crushed either in the 3rd or the 4th.

    That's by design with Udoka recognizing Bol was covering their good 3pt guy and too slow for that.

    Frustrating is, everybody knows ISO for KD is coming and coming in a fixed-pattern, they find a way to disrupt it and definitely in most crucial times. Yet, we have no game plan for that.

    They need to do more ISO as decoy plans, to avoid TOs

    TyTy is athletic enough to become a good defender. Gillespie has a McConnel like ball handling skill with a better 3pt shot. Monte has not been shooting well.

    We saw from the last sequence rebounds and TOs that Richards lacks good court awareness due to experience.

    If there is one person to blame, I'd say JJ. The roster composition after the KD trade has been atrocious, not just the Beal trade, main parts of Ayton trade, but also the minor signings over the last two seasons. This leaves the coach in a bad position to try to integrate unfitting parts which...

    Agree. TyTy has the athletism and appears a better PG than Monte Morris. With a steadier 3pt shot, he could be well useful. Most of our 3pt shots were open, our role players need to make them

    Grizzlies @ Suns Tuesday game thread 2-11-2024

    Just as what I said earlier. We started with bad D, giving their hot hands Aldama etc. open looks due to bad rotation, dug too much a hole. When we closed in in the 4th with only 3 pts behind, we couldn't nail enough 3s with open looks. At least we didn't let JJJ abuse us again like last time...

    D, and hope your role players hit their 3s. We have neither, except for finally some good D at end of half, and KD getting his 3 strokes.

    It's not mutually exclusive. If we perform better with this group then our players could also gain trade value, from Allen, RO to Beal

    Suns 2024-2025 Season Discussions

    I believe the fix is not in the roster change so much so as change in game philosophy. When we share the ball, our offense flows, when we resort to ISOs, our offense is easily figured out by good def. teams. Bad offense, lots of TOs, leads bad defense due to transitions. We have enough star...

    Allen was out of shape at season's start. Now he's back in game condition and found his 3pt touch. If he could improve on his stamina, he is a keeper.

    Monte has been bad at handling the ball, hope Micic offers better PG plays there. Oso has been lost on the court. It's time to give his min to BOL and let him work on his game in the G-league.

    Larry Nance if bought out should be our target. We ought to waive Damion for that.

    Jazz @ Suns Friday game thread 2-7-2024

    We need more set plays to get our hot hands easy cath-n-shoot looks, like Allen in this game and sometimes Beal, Jones and even RO. When we do KD/Book ISOs, other players stand still watching too often, waiting for the resulting random chance. Against good def. teams, it's very ineffective.

    Jazz @ Suns Friday game thread 2-7-2024

    We led by 13 pt mid 4th, but again we forced Book ISOs for too long and dug a 4pt deficit with 1.2sec left. Jazz defense is not that good but they also can figure out how to defend ISOs by a tired Book. Jazz didn't really want the game except for maybe Collier. Had Maka missed 2nd FT on...

    Suns @ Thunder Wednesday game thread 2-5-2025

    For +/-, Booker -38, SGA +42, Dort +31, Jones -22. It's brutal to have Jones defend SGA single cover for most of game, nor could Dunn do anything there. Okogie might have slowed him a bit. The roster composition is bad, we don't have athletic defenders to go after opponents' lead scorers, and we...

    Our offense is predicable, good D teams can press us to lots of TOs in the 3rd qrt, knowing we never change our game plans. Our picks are generally weak and our followup moves are unforceful. pts off TOs 22-2

    Without KD, the D is a lot better, rarely giving up open shots. SGA can have his pts no matter how, but when we keep others cold, we are in the game. Beal is really focused, as RO and Allen. When KD comes back, we need to replace Dunn with RO in the starting lineup. Dunn is just too...

    OT: The trade deadline watch thread. 02/06/25

    Looking at Miami's roster, if they want KD then they are looking at a 3-y window, then they'd have no problem also enhance the deal by swapping Herro for Beal. So, some 3-team deal like Miami get KD, Beal, Richards, Jones; Suns get JB, Herro, Ware, Capella +1-2 FRPs; Hawks get DRobinson+2 SRPs...
