You preferred when we were getting down 20 in the 1st?

You cant teach it, just like you can't teach basketball IQ, its a thing you either have or dont. Booker has it, Ayton seems to have, Bridges showed it in on college, Warren has it offensively, the rest of that team however is either lost or so used to losing that they dont know how to win. Ariza is washed, Crawford/Chandler washed, Anderson, washed.

At least we're not losing by 40+ like last year.

LOL. He's a complementary player. When he tries to be a star, he fails. We need to use him strictly in a complementary role.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 8:24 pmHis overconfidence in his own ability is elite.The Bobster wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 7:50 pmI am having a difficult time thinking of any one particular thing he does well....specialsauce wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 7:45 pmFor the pro-Jackson crowd here that has been watching the games, what have you seen from him other than the fact that he was the fourth pick to make you think he has any chance to be a special player?

I must admit I'm starting to get a little worried. The team is lacking fire. I did see Ayton start to get a little fired up after we were getting embarrassed. So, that's good. We need to show some intensity from start to finish. We seem to start games very flat.TheOriginalOriginal wrote: ↑Sat Oct 27, 2018 6:18 pmStarting to really feel like my avatar is a lie. Bummer.

Warren needed to step up with Booker out. 3 freakin' points?!

Maybe another year of terrible attendance/play will force Ol Bobby to sell the team.

Re: Game Day: Suns (1-3) @ Grizzlies (2-2), Sat 10/27/18
My biggest issue with Igor's rotations right now is that he waits 9 minutes to sub Anderson out for Warren in the first quarter. Second biggest: he puts Anderson back in for TJ with 5 minutes left in the second. We badly needed wing scoring tonight and Igor give Warren 8 first half minutes??
He needs to turn his rotation into a meritocracy fast. Ariza should not be playing the whole first quarter if he's bricking 3s and loafing on D. Get Bridges in there. TJ is vastly superior to Anderson right now and should be starting over him, but if he isn't going to Anderson should not be getting this long of a leash. Same with Chandler and Holmes. If Chandler can't get up to finish a simple lob pass, put in the guy that can.

The only reason we’re not down 40 is Ayton. Pass him the f*** ball every time. And play Okobo, Warren, and Bridges as well as Holmes for f*** sake

And thus marks the end of the Dallas win honeymoon
We Can no longer just pass things off as we were simply getting beat because of strong opposition. The team has genuine issues
Observations:
Why did coach leave that shitty starting lineup in so long? They had 12 points on the board with 2 mins left in the 1st.
It got to the point I wouldn’t prefer bender over Anderson. Tj should come in so much earlier
- why are we playing cannan again? He offers no defense and our offense was just a shit muffin most of the time he was in. We just kept doing lazy pnr with no off ball activity. Only in the 4th did they start doing anything that looked like Igor’s offense. Please just give the minutes to our rookie guards. Like right now! Seriously what’s the downside!?
- Jackson needs to be made to watch endless video of Shawn Marion. He needs to be a transition guy and then an activity guy. He keeps playing like he thinks he’s a combination of Jordan and pippen with a 3pt shot. He keep trying to do too much and he keeps doing it over and over. I’ve sold most of My stock in Jackson. I’m going to assume he’s the one shipped off for a pg
Loved Ayton. It again highlights why cannan is useless since he didn’t get him the ball enough when we were struggling.
Liking bridges. Some smart plays. Play D. His arms are soo long. Some guys made some shots on him tonight but they weren’t easy ones.

Ayton is absolutely amazing for a rookie. The rest of the team is garbage. This is all. Goodnight.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
