this is a poorly coached game

Man idk how much more of Jamal Crawford playing I can take. He’s completely useless.

 

[95pro]

The eff was that to end the game???

 

[Folster]

Booker killed us this game.

Booker killed us this game.

Yup some horrid decision making at the end of the game and several missed fts were the killers

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

We need to stop with the Booker isolation when we are trying to close out a game. This would have been a win in regulation if they just kept playing normal basketball.

We go to too soon with about 4-6 minutes to go in the game.

 

[AZCrazy]

Got on to say just that. The Booker Iso while everyone else stands still is too easy to defend. Can't even get a shot off, at the end of the game or any of the OT's.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Booker killed us this game.

Jackson going 1 for 8 didn't help. Booker with 33 points and 14 assists carried us much of the game and 54 minutes is far too many for someone still not into game shape. But I'd still prefer to see him playing the 2 spot late in games.

 

[Sunshooter]

Suns should win if their FT is better. TJ miss 5 and Booker miss the most important one.

Igor man

at some point you might want to make a defensive adjustment and not double team Bradley Beal while leaving Bryant wide open.

Couldn't agree more , why would you not switch up your defensive calls , every single play was beal switching onto ayton and Holmes, give them some help for Christ sake

 

[95pro]

Ayton picked up two crappy calls near the end.

The over the backs on out of bounds.

The Beal travel/offensive-foul on Oubre.

Refs didn’t make the calls instead replay gave them the possession.

Geez, overreact much?

Beal wasn't the issue. The missed assignments in the pick and roll were.

I'm not sure how much of that is coaching and how much that is on the players

#1 reason why we don’t win in regulation.

That and missed fts

 

[Chaplin]

Booker killed us this game.

Not in regulation he didn’t.

 

[Chaplin]

That and missed fts

We’re always going to miss some free throws, especially late in a triple OT game. But nearly ALL of Bryant’s points were because we ignored him on the P&R. That is inexcusable after he does it twice. Instead he did it nonstop in regulation.

Yep. That's why I hate that replay rule. Refs can't go back and call a clear over the back foul, instead they're forced to make a bad call by giving the fouling team possession since it went off the guy who got fouled. NBA needs to adjust that rule that fouls CAN be called under review, otherwise reviewing those plays makes no sense.

 

[GatorAZ]

Geez, overreact much?

Probably underreacting if anything. .377 TS in December and a sieve on D. Completely useless other than leadership (not by example but by mentorship).

The ones I'm talking about were at the end of regulation. Warren missed at least 3 and Booker missed 1 late as well.

The defense on Bryant was horrid throughout no question

 

[Rab]

Suns beat themselves. Warren, Ayton, and Booker missed key FT’s that probably win the game. There could’ve been some better offense/defense substitutions as well but it’s hard for me to get mad at the loss. I was impressed with Ayton offensively and on the boards overall but he flat out gave up on a few defensive rotations and there were a couple big rebounds he could’ve at least gone after that he just stood around.

The guy scored what—29 points? His CAREER high was 16 previous to this.

Inexcusable lack of coaching by Igor. This loss is on him. Not giving good directions at the end of the overtimes spelled doom. Booker’s hero ball wasn’t working, yet he does nothing to change that.

No way I am blaming a coach on one guy killing us in the PnR. Unless you can prove that he was telling guys not to worry about him. It was simply mental lapses by the players IMO.
