Our 3 point defense is non-existent.

you don't have to leave your feet on defense bol

He’s in a tough spot because he’s running and closing out. But I agree you close out but don’t jump and hope they miss, rather than them driving by while you’re in the air.

Our defense allows too much space to guys on the perimeter, so we have to run on every close out. Either a foul or a fly by.

vogel just needs to start fining players - if you're not making the league minimum - you get two turnovers per game - $5K apiece after that - keep the money in a clear case and watch it grow - divide it up amongst our league minimum guys who actually protect the ball - im tired of this sh** lol

They just let it fly. When we are open we decide to drive into traffic and make a weak pass.

I'd really like the NBA to officially answer what Bradley Beal is supposed to do when he has solid post defensive position and brown just keeps dropping his shoulder right into Beale's chest until he's in front of the basket. I know I've been bitching about it since Shaquille O'Neal, but it's really obvious and easy to call.

refs have been laxing on calls this year big time - which i was all for until this even larger gap of consistency started swaying games in the most frustrating way

Suns not getting 3 pt looks or making them is the main problem, along with turnovers of course.

this team is really frustrating me.

Nurk and KD did the same thing and no call. So I think it’s being fairly called.
