I'd take a look at Charles Lee from Boston.
He’s always one of the top assistants getting interviews…that’s all I know about him

Yeah, I think that style of basketball fits much better than what Vogel is trying to do with all this feed the bigs stuff.

Agreed. Vogel shouldn't have listened to him. There was no chance of that getting overturned. Just a very moronic moment.

Booker has just lost his dribble uncontested 3 times now, what’s his deal?
It's always been his achillies, his handle is so wack for an elite player.
And yet we're running Point Book?

I mean I don’t think it’s a foul on Book, but it’s not one on KAT either
It's another point of emphasis originating from James Harden's attempts to destroy the game of basketball; it is a foul on the offensive player.

I just don't think you can count us out yet. Minnesota just did what they were supposed to do. We've got two must win games coming up. Hopefully Vogel can make some adjustments he hasn't been willing to make yet.
I agree to a certain extent. I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns won both games in Phoenix. I don't think Minnesota is that good. Like many, I don't like the construction of the team, and Vogel is a poor fit, but the Suns still have three hall of fame talents. That may be enough to turn this series around.

So this is a funny / cringey pair of videos of Eubanks botching post moves. But I do think the tweet misses the point. You don't sign a minimum salary backup center and then expect him to carry your offense with his crazy post moves. That isn't what Eubanks is good at. He's quite good at setting screens and rolling to the basket and finishing with a dunk; he did this 2-3 times tonight, often with KD. He isn't a man blessed with a wide array of graceful post moves, but we're paying him like $20 a game and he's our backup center. If he had great post moves, he wouldn't have been available for a minimum deal this offseason.

The bigger point is, your team's offense shouldn't be so shitty that you end up desperately throwing it into the post to Drew freaking Eubanks with a few seconds left on the shot clock, hoping for him to bail you out with a post move. That's on the rest of the team to run a good offense and get a better shot than that.
This. I hated that play by Book was terrible. He put Eubanks in a terrible position.

I agree. The best position for Eubanks is knees bent ass out chair underneath.

Better. 2022 and 2023 were tough. Finally starting to right the ship though.
