its insane, even after made baskets, Wolves just do not get matched up correctly and are scrambling constantly

Without defense scoring is much easier.

I stand corrected.

Well, not good but it could be worse, we can still shore this up but man, the Suns are sharp.

Our defensive scheme is so broken I don’t think it can be fixed. A close out is not the same thing as defending a 3 point shot.

This aggressive defensive scheme gets shredded by great passers like CP3

Finch has gotta adjust...no need to blitz or send doubles at CP3...he is too good of a passer and will exploit it

Close game, pretty good recovery from that first quarter, this is a super dangerous game though.

Has been happening all quarter. Any excuse to blow the whistle on us they take. Meanwhile, they are given huge latitude. Same song different night.
