Suns @ Lakers 1-27-18

[1Sun]

Why are we still running the high screen with Booker if they are just going to hard double him every time off the high screen???

Because the coach is clueless and literally does not know how to run any other set.

 

[Mainstreet]

No excuse for the Suns poor defense.

Maybe that team meeting didn't help.

 

[1Sun]

If they lose by 20-30 to a Lakers team missing half of its rotation, including LeBron, Kuzma and Ball, will you admit that Igor Kokoskov is in over his head and has no business being a head coach in the NBA?

They are being dominated by freaking Ivica Zubac and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Yikes this is bad, I’m not sure Igor survives a 20 pt blowout loss to this depleted Lakers team. Needs to at least be competitive.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is playing so passive early... and as I speak.

 

[1Sun]

No excuse for the Suns poor defense.

Maybe that team meeting didn't help.

Or maybe they collectively decided to quit on the coach.

He shouldn't have survived this long to begin with.

 

[Mainstreet]

Terry gets his first basket.

Correction, Terry has two baskets.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Lakers 65 - Suns 53

 

[sunsfan88]

The new guy with some good minutes.

 

[sunsfan88]

Jackson with a game worst -19 in the first half.

 

[1Sun]

Jackson, Booker and Okobo continue to regress, and now Oubre is starting to regress.

The longer Kokoskov remains the head coach, the more lasting and worse the damage will be.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes has the only plus (+/-) with a +4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker will get his points but it is sad to see he has to play point guard because it takes away from his offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes starts the second half.

 

[1Sun]

Holmes starts the second half.

The question, of course, is why didn't he start the first?

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need a penetrating point guard that can kick the ball out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is starting to turn it on now. He has 13 points and 5 assists.

 

[1Sun]

The Suns need a penetrating point guard that can kick the ball out.

They have one in Okobo. The problem on this point is Kokoskov's system, which is based primarily on perimeter screens and passing along the perimeter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Terry is the Suns big man in this lineup. He moves well.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Lakers 90 - Suns 81

 

[Mainstreet]

In his short time with the Suns it looks like Terry could take Bender's minutes.

 

[Yuma]

This game is a snore fest.......

 

[Yuma]

In his short time with the Suns it looks like Terry could take Bender's minutes.

Isn't he already?

 

[Mainstreet]

Isn't he already?

Bender has still played 4 more minutes but I think Igor likes Terry's activity.
