He picks up a lot of turnovers on entry passes to KD in the post. KD is too weak to seal his defender way too often.

They all have trouble getting it to KD for that reason, KD is too old/lazy to work for positioning these days, and to seal of his defender. And teams smell this ISO garbage a mile away, its so predictable. When KD iso is the offense, it just doesn't work for the team. It looks great for KD's stats though.

give up 40 thru turnovers and lose by 20 - we don't throw passes we throw jump balls - we don't pump fake or look off we stare down the receiver - we'll spend 4 or 5 seconds trying to make an ill advised pass allowing another defender to join in making it a moronic pass - but what really pisses me off are the hot potato passes - players get stuck - lose their dribble and just pawn the ball off to the next guy who's always covered by a defender that knows the ball is coming - over and over and over because nobody moves when one of the big three have the ball and they always have the ball

im about all the way out - don't remember the last time i didn't finish a suns season but this is garbage basketball
Jeez, when I had a player who was hot scoring on my team, and the other team was struggling to stop him, they would obviously try and deny the entry pass. Sometimes I would just dribble right up to them and basically put the ball in their hands. Then usually set a screen while I was already there. If they got doubled by my man I would cut to the basket. Geez, I just can't figure out how these guys watch film, and still make the same exact bad passes EVERY game! They seem incapable of learning.

You hear KD tell it and he says he's still learning. He seems to be smoking away whatever he learns.
