Nobody can shoot and the offensive sets look like crap (paging Jeff Hornacek).

1)No low post presence. Kieff needs to stay out of foul trouble to give them any semblence of one
2) They still have a terrible job spacing the floor

If you draft Booker to fix this...You have to play him. I understand Teletovic isn't going to shoot 0-6 every half, but if he isn't hitting 3s there is little else he adds.

Hopefully this is a good amon for our season, becuase last yr I believe we looked really good in game 1!
Agreed. No low post presence and no 3 point shooters except for Booker.

Neither Bledsoe or Knight are really point guards. A point guard can make an entry pass. He can run an offense. He gets his teammates better looks at the basket.

Neither of them does that with any consistency.

No, tanking is what the 76ers are doing.

The Suns have a half-assed plan.

The defense is just horrible out there. Just giving up wide open layups and jump shots.

I think we may have an idea how good our defense is without Chandler or Len in there.

Why do the scorers always seem to cheat Len out of blocks?

Coach got tired of all the guards ignoring Len in the paint. So he pulled Len. :p

I would say they are scoring guards. Just not showing it tonight
