Re: Game Day: Hornets (15-26) @ Suns (15-23), Sun 1/11/20
Exum? Have you watched him? The issue with getting a scorer for the bench is they'll still need to play within the system. If a smaller scoring guard like Clarkson needs the ball, does that throw things off? I think we need more creators/dribble drive guys which is why I like Okobo. He can play dow...

I couldn't agree more with this statement.specialsauce wrote: ↑Wed Dec 25, 2019 2:27 pmI would agree the blame goes deeper than Book. This team is more than Ayton returning from being complete.

Re: Game Day: Nuggets (19-8) @ Suns (11-18), Mon 12/23/19
When there is literally no other scorer on the floor with him, how is Book expected to rise above being trapped and doubled? He’s not that type of guy and definitely can’t carry the team unless he gets into a decent rhythm. He doesn’t have the step back shot the way Doncic or Harden have. Perhaps w...

Re: Game Day: Nuggets (19-8) @ Suns (11-18), Mon 12/23/19
I’ve seen enough of Montys coaching in close games. Why sub Bridges and Cam out when they were reason #1 and 2 for us going on the huge run with their defense and shooting? I’ve seen enough of Bookers poor attitude and stagnant play. He has not grown as a player in 2 years. He’s regressed. He consi...

Play of the game was Kaminsky picking up his 4th foul early in the 3rd. So much this. And KRay kept going on and on about the Kaminsky fouls and I kept yelling at the TV "No one cares!". My gosh I can't stand our broadcast crew outside of EJ... Deposits a three, downloads a three (what do...

Tough to do when Boston can simply double and trap him whenever he touches the ball. Who else scares them? Absolutely no one.

Re: Game Day (Preseason): Timberwolves (0-0) @ Suns (0-0), Tues 10/8/19
Thanks for the links, with Dish not having Fox Sports AZ anymore plus the league pass option saying the Suns will be blackout since I'm local. Going to need them Fox Sports is back on Dish. Unfortunately, the regionals are still not there. Just FS1 and perhaps some other Fox properties that I don't...

https://twitter.com/DuaneRankin/status/1180120385955618816 Jeesh. Was it that bad? Guys would just gather during timeouts in a silent huddle around coach Kokoskov? No wonder he never had any success. The guys never gave him a chance! Isn't the coach the one who needs to set the tone? I would say it...

And he has his new 4 year, $70M contract in hand. He missed the Jazz game two nights ago, so perhaps he will still be out?

Re: The polarization of Devin Booker
I watch every single game. Start to finish. If you think Ayton is ready to be the focus of the team, that's fine by me. I think many are upset that our prize pick lacks motor and drive. If you think changing coaches makes Ayton play harder or smarter I don't know what to tell you. No matter how Ayto...

Re: The polarization of Devin Booker
Ayton is not passive in that context. He recognizes double teams very well and reacts quickly passing the ball. You can build a scheme to play inside out around him if you put three guys who shoot and move without the ball while Booker generates pressure on his own. Very clearly the coach is asking...

Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
The Suns have been shooting the ball horribly and he finally gives Daniels some time, albeit not until the 2nd half, but he was a difference maker tonight. To be fair to the staff, this is the best that Daniels has played as a Sun. He was actually driving and hitting some mid-range shots. He was ac...

I can see Igor/management wanting to throw Book into the fire in those late game situations to get better, but he's terrible. It's just not his game and he was giving the ball away again last night. He literally picked the ball up at halfcourt because of Josh Richardson's defense and then threw the...

Re: Game Day: Suns (11-44) @ Jazz (30-24), Wed 2/6/19
No excuses. But there are reasons. We are a younger team this year, with first and second year guys playing a lot of minutes. By the numbers, we are a better offensive team, by +2 points per game. I think we are marginally improved defensively as well (pre-shot), however we give up 3 more points per...

What protection on the 2019 first would you require, if you were making the decision? Top 3? Top 5? Top 10?
