The Suns offense lacks discipline. D'Antoni admits that this is not a good shooting team, but he does nothing to stop them from shooting from the outside when there is still time on the clock.
Against the Mavs, the Suns ran a high post offense with Carbakapa at the high post. It looked promising, yet a few minutes later Zarko was back out on the wing taking and missing long jump shots. Why can't they stay with the passing high post and stop putting 5 guys on the out rim like in the days of the old illegal defense? It's funny that Jake made a nice pass from the high post to make an assist in the first half, but never got the ball to it later.
My concern is that the team has stopped playing as a team. Some of the reporters prior to the press conference said that it looked like everyone was playing for their own stats rather than as team. D'Antoni needs to have to start ripping these guys for losing their discipline.
