    What can (or should) be done to fix the team this season?

    The issue with Josh is he will never be a reliable shooter, but he has the rare defensive talent of similar kind of Dennis Rodman. To consistent play him, coach needs to install more off-ball cutting and screening movements to not make him a stationary 3pt shooter in the first place.

    What can (or should) be done to fix the team this season?

    But that superior driving ability is most crucial to get the defense collapse, compared to stagnant offense with Goodwin handling the ball. Goodwin is a scrappy kind of player with excellent nose to fight for steals and lose balls, but in that capacity he's kinda redundant with Okogie who is...

    What can (or should) be done to fix the team this season?

    Lack of proper preparation together with improper rotations is the main reason for the current Suns situation. The roster is better than the current record indicated. On offense, we relied on Book and KD to create but without associated movements like cutting and screening wisely from other...

    Looking at the min guys that went in the summer, I wonder why we didn't sign Redish, Lonnie Walker, Oubre, etc. but KBD, DLee, Yuta, Bol instead; and gave away Camara.

    I hated him as he was the main reason we got embarassed 2years ago in the playoffs agains Mavs. But now really just respect for him, modest and down-to-earth personality. But Suns' defense is just disorganized with no cohesion. And on both sides, the same problems come back over and over, like...

    Suns gave Brunson free room to operate, and the Knicks team regained their confidence behind his heroics. Suns defense is still disfunctional. No chance in 4th.

    We don't have an idea of stopping hot hands of the other team and looses the chance to putting the other team away, which comes back to bite us in the ass and give them hopes back.

    Eubanks has ever learned to properly set a screen? He faked a screen bringing his defender to double team Book with 3 sec left, forcing a TO.

    Why not putting someone glued to Brunson to deny him the ball! Other teams do it to our KD, Book all the time.

    Great run to end the half! Little's defense on Randle is huge. KBD has been disappointing on both sides. Book another not rotating out for 3pt, but he led a couple timely double teaming with great outcome.

    Book again careless with the ball, and didn't rotate to DiVin's 3. Too many avoidable mistakes.

    Beal again sharp with shots to start the game. His problem is mainly stamina, which should come along with more games. Hope he will be back soon.

    No to McGee. Craig won't help much in playoffs, also no.

    Suns updates and discussion for the 2023-24 season

    Our defensive switching and rotation has been off all season long. Not much court awareness there even from Booker. And no serious instruction to correct it from the coach, apparently. I actually miss rookie Camara who'd be among the better defenders on this team.

    Nets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-13-2023

    The personnel JJ assambled is good enough to win more games, despite all the injuries. No consistently coherent team play both O and D is to blame, and odd rotation decisions. On O, they still don't know how to get the guy free from body-gluing defense, to pass the ball to him easily. We are...

    He had the same issue last time for 3 games. No stamina yet. But today nice fallaway and-1 in the final minute was nice sign for the better.

    Vogel rotation is often mysterious. Why play Bol to set up Beal's return as failure! With Bol in there, Beal led team had no chance to achieve anything. Wasted 5 min to start the 2nd with a 13pt deficit.

    Hyland for Goodwin+Bol, if Hyland can play some defense.

    Saben is very strong and athletic, and a good defender. Not a good distributor but attacks the rim with force. His 3pt shot is too flat which makes him a lesser fit to play along big 3. But he might be better at the PG duty than Goodwin, Allen, EG.

    Without set plays, Goodwin and others are set up to fail with decision making put in their hands. We had CP3 for too long and took good PG play for granted.

    Fox was frustrated by Okogie, and got loose and hot in the 4th. Vogel should have inserted Okogie back much earlier, right when Fox barely started to feel it again. Goodwin was in there too long. I really don't understand why we never play the opponent superstar the way they play our Book and KD...
