    Booker is just abusing DDV.

    Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-15-2023

    If this team ever figured out how to hold onto the ball, they'd be unstoppable. Their defense would improve not having to defend in transition all the time, and they should be able to find their matchups for boxouts better.

    I like the twist of having Goodwin set screens for booker. Defender is smaller on the blitz, and he's better in a 4 on 3 scenario than say Metu or Eubanks

    That'd be a mistake IMO. Why risk further injury?

    Lakers (without AD) lose to SA to break their losing streak. Everybody has a stinker now and then.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    KBD's release looks considerably faster here than in game. Wonder if they're working on speeding it up

    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

    We do have a couple offensive sets (double drag screens on the wings to a DHO up top), but they are fairly basic and devolve if the first couple options don't pan out. Then it becomes a hero ball 1v1 bailout

    Yeah, probably a direct response to our rebounding woes.

    Interesting lineup. That's a big starting 5.

    Suns really need an elite ballhandler. They don't have a single one on the roster.

    Not a fan of Hyland. There's a reason he was given up quickly by Denver and buried on the bench on LAC.

    I agree, and this should be extended to all the role players. It's a tough balance though, you need to get some of these guys time to get a rhythm, but if they don't have it, gotta move on to the next guy to see if they have it. Okogie, Little, Yuta, KBD and to a slightly lesser extent Allen and...

    Suns @ Lakers Tuesday game thread, 12-5-2023 - West Quarterfinal, In-Season Tournament

    I'd say Eric Gordon's been the closest to that, but his defensive effort has really been lacking. Agree with everything you said about Okogie, too bad that early season streak was a mirage. Phoenix should really invest in a top notch shooting coach if they haven't already, we really need his...

    Suns @ Lakers Tuesday game thread, 12-5-2023 - West Quarterfinal, In-Season Tournament

    Here's the roster for those 2 teams, ordered by minutes played. You don't think Okogie, Little or KBD would get minutes over say Peyton Watson? Strawther? Payton Pritchard? With Beal out the majority of the season, and KD/Book also missing time, the rotation has been out of whack a bit and the...

    I'd lean more Little or Okogie. I don't think KBD has the footspeed to keep up with some of the faster wings out there. Obviously Okogie gives up a lot of offense, so Little is probably the more appropriate candidate.

    Part of the issue with Point Book is that when he starts possessions with the ball, it's a lot easier for teams to focus the defensive intensity on him. I'd love to see Phoenix pull some of the offball sets for Devin last year where he'd get the ball coming off the screen and have the defense...

    Suns got screwed on a couple calls and Suns didn't deserve to win with the 20 TOs and 21 offensive rebounds given. Both things can be true.

    Can't hold onto the ball, can't rebound the ball, can't win the game.

    And only a few missed free throws away from 50/40/90 club. Incredible on that volume.
