I think it's funny that people think a PG fixes things. That's not the problem. It's effort and execution, especially defensively and on the boards.

If it’s consistently an effort and execution problem and it’s across the whole team, then I think what you’re really trying to say is that it’s ineffective coaching.

I dont think it's just Vogel, I think it'd KD and Booker too. They have this holier than thou attitude right now and it sucks

I've said this before, but I just don't think it ever makes sense to blame a team's bad performance on "effort." Every team is out there trying hard. Some teams have better players than others, or players who fit together better. Some have better chemistry, coaching, practices, preparation than others. It's not a pickup game; you don't really win or lose on "effort."

Hard disagree. The Suns starters have routinely been outplayed by teams bench squads, just because the bench guys are out there going 100mph and Suns starters can't match the effort.
