After watching the transition defense the last couple games, I'm predicting a loss by the Suns by 10+ tonight, unless they actually fix the problem. The Lakers are pushing the ball at an extreme rate this season so far.

LAL showed a lot of fight against the Spurs after starting the game horribly. If that's the team we find tonight, we are not going to win. Let LeBron get his, but get in the face of Hart and Kuzma early. Let everybody else shoot as many threes as they want. Careful with Javale crashing the offensive boards. And of course, go back quickly.

Winner gets one player off the losing team.
I pick LeBron!

Unfortunately, I think you're right. No way we can play nonchalant defense like the last two games and win. I just hope we see some hustle and pride tonight.

My two main issues so far been Energy and playing Tyson
So like others have said I'm also concerned about our transition D and will be very annoyed if our energy is subpar tonight
I have accepted the fact that Tyson playing so can't stress that one right now

Kokoskov has that old school mentality where he plays the vets the mins and will not give any to younger guys even though they are already better than the vets.
Stan Van Gundy has this same mentality along with few other coaches and I hate it.
Holmes should get every single minute of Tyson Chandler’s mins based on merit. And Warren/Bridges should get every single one of Ryan Anderson’s mins as well.

Maybe give it more than 3 games before we definitively say what sort of mentality Kokoskov has? Maybe? He is a new coach so it is not a surprise that he is defaulting to the vets early. We will see how the season plays out.

Offense doesn’t seem to be the biggest problem for the Suns so far this season. Playing ANY defense at all seems to be the biggest problem. The Lakers like to run? How many points did GS get from transition layups? A LOT.
I hope Lebron gets a tripple 0.

Can't be said enough. Anderson is just bad. He can't even hit a wide open 3

You'd think transition defense would've been a point of emphasis the last few practices. But, no.

Also, meant to mention it last game but Booker's getting to that point, or may be at that point, where everytime he shoots the ball you think it's going in.

God when Ryan Anderson misses wide open threes then gets burned on defense four straight times it makes me want to slit my wrists.

Never a question of talent with McGee, just his brain. Maybe he's grown up.
Chandler gets a lot of heat here but I like what I'm seeing.

Isn’t this the guy who coached Luka to a EuroLeague MVP?
