Two fouls already on Harden.

First play they get Ayton isolated on Harden in the paint and they can’t even get him the ball.

PG problem?

Ayton could score 35 in this game easy if the Suns had a good PG that could just feed him the ball.

Every time we pass the ball on the perimeter I halfway expect to see the ball stolen. We have to tighten that up.

If he was stronger catching the ball he could score 35 even with our weak passing guards.

That's been a problem for the Suns with defenders playing the passing lanes.

I liked okobo when we drafted him but the more he plays the more I just want him off the team

I wish Bridges had JJs confidence.

Note to James Jones, DO NOT trade Josh Jackson. He is going to be special if we are patient. I know he makes it difficult at times for us to be patient but let's be smart for once.

Sure but we give them a lot of reasons to play the passing lanes like that. I don't know if that's because of Koko's scheme or if these guys just don't understand how quick the NBA defenders are but it happens in every game.

It would be comparable to when the Sonics traded Scottie Pippen for Olden Polynice.

I never really thought about it but announcer said Bridges is older than Booker.

This is where I hope the leadership of a point guard would help.

if it happens every game... at this point in the season... that's a coaching problem one way or another for the most part, IMO. either he's not adjusting his offense (if you can call it that) or he's not getting through to his players to adjust. Either way, it's an issue this far into the season.

This fact is what worries me about Bridges really breaking out as a big-time player for us, who was supposed to be more NBA ready than almost anyone in the draft.
