Whos to say firing Vogel won't make things worse?

Problem is there's no-one good available right now.

They said Vogel put in a new 3-2 zone defense for this game. It sure looks like they have not practiced it. This team also makes the stupidest turnovers on the planet.

I actually think the suns play better without KD on the floor. Trying to force it to him is killing us.

we really don't have to go over this again - every top 10 player in this league that isnt a center struggles in today's NBA when they're flying solo - from luka to tray from book to kd

Yet without Durant the Thunder are up by 24. Durant makes stupid turnovers but I blame this teams turnover problem on this stupid iso/hero ball scheme Vogel has put in place.

It allows teams to double Durant. Double Book. Double Beal. The entire point of having those three guys is to prevent a team from leaving one of those guys open. There is so little movement teams just double and play zone. It’s killing us.

Grayson is afraid t9 shoot.
He's been like that for at least 3 games now, after he went 2/9 on 3s. Kinda shell shock. A mental thing. Vogel should deliberately play him fewer mins and build up his confidence slowly, not force him to shoot, risking to shoot the team out of the game.

Only 14, but feels like 24…

Predictable,,,start off with a good lead and piss it away.
Runs by OKC > 14-2 ,,, 18 - 0.
Take out Nurk's rebounds and Suns would be down by 30 at half.

This is looking like the Warriors vs Celtics game earlier today.
