Eddie’s right, just take away the three and trust the rim defenders. Can’t let Dame go off on 3s.

Ayton 4 fouls and you can make a legit case he didn’t commit a single foul

And yet the last Blazer possession we did exactly that and he bricked the layup. Gotta make him work.

DA isn’t a high IQ player. Yes, some of the fouls were ticky tack. But if that’s how you’re going to be reffed, adjust. He was up wayyyy to tight on Nurkic and got bullied into a foul.

That last defensive rotation was horrible by Lee. He didn’t roll to the bucket which opened up that last dunk.

Have to say, so far I like Landale as the McGee replacement. Doesn’t have quite the rim protection, but that deficiency is more than made up for by his range.

Suns really need another power forward.
Yep. Bridges and Booker should in no way be our leading rebounders. That means no production out of your FC in that regard. Landale doesn’t help much off the bench so far either.

In that circumstance, if they’re going to call the game tight…you gotta adjust. DA has struggled in the past with guys like Nurkic and Valanciunas.

I’m not saying he’s not a good player but situationally, you have to give ground if they’re going to call cheap stuff.

Are you watching the game? Those calls were laughable

What’s the adjustments for bad calls?
