Not sure why this wasn’t talked about more. I get that he’s a rookie but still...his basketball IQ must be close to Jackson’s level to not play the 3pt line and put his teammates in a compromising spot.

I take back a lot of the things I've said about the Suns making progress through a brutal early season. Igor is starting to lose his players.

I talked about this exact point. Do you guys have me on mute?

I am confused on this. Why does it say Ayton had the rotation on Morris? Booker was on him, and then both him and Canaan went with Kyrie. I doubt the scheme was for both to roll with Kyrie and then have Ayton leave Tatum to go to Morris. Either way, he shouldn't have backed up into the paint, but we just left Morris wide open when either Booker or Canaan left him open.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/12-11/18
Right, one of Booker/Canaan messed up 1st, but Ayton messed up 2nd. Had he stayed out on Tatum, he would have been closer to Morris and been in better position to rotate than Ariza was. Don't think it really would have mattered as Morris was wide open and Ayton wouldn't have made the rotation even if he was positioned where he should have been.
Re: Suns News: Week 5 11/12-11/18
Yeah, I get that. Just seems silly to say "look how bad Ayton screwed this up" when clearly it was either Book or Canaan that screwed it up, and everything from there is a scramble. Of course, that is forgetting that Book really should have fouled Morris. No excuse for that.Split T wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 9:58 amRight, one of Booker/Canaan messed up 1st, but Ayton messed up 2nd.

Igor said they were supposed to switch everything, so if that's true, Canaan should have stayed with Morris after Booker switched. Although Booker jumps out too much on Kyrie and if Canaan didn't stay with him, Kyrie would have had a pretty clean look off the dribble.Indy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 10:00 amYeah, I get that.

So,
1. Booker messed up by not fouling Morris on the inbound.
2. Booker messed up by playing poor defense when switched onto Kyrie
3. Canaan messed up by not switching onto Morris
4. Ayton messed up by dropping into the paint and being out of position to rotate on to Morris.

Ok, I have a big fear regarding our team and I'm actually reluctant to tell you guys because the fear that when I say it, it becomes real is even bigger. What should I do

My worse case is the Las Vegas Suns.

Can we rename the site and refer to all things "Suns" as "Sh!tshow" from now on? So new site is phx-sh!tshow.net.
This way, I don't have to refer to Sarver as the owner of the Suns, but instead he's the owner of the Sh!tshow.

Probably worse than Las Vegas Suns.
