I wish everyone had Jae Crowder's lack of hesitation shooting 3s. Bridges used to have it. D'Antoni would coach players to shoot without hesitation...I once read that he never got on people for shooting them but always did for passing up open 3s...and it created kind of a fearlessness shooting mentality.

Vigil is dumb. Ayton is a very good decision maker and passer. He’s been doubled like three times. One steal. A bucket. And a pass to a wide open Crowder above the break.

They are playing small because their best players are small. Idiot.


I didn't take that as saying he was a bad decision maker...he watches enough he should know he's a solid decision maker and passer...from down low finding a shooter or up top finding a cutter like Bridges under the basket for an easy 2.


he SHOULD know lots of stuff

that’s kinda my pt

Ayton is easily our 2nd most valuable player.

After Paul, of course.

Timeout is about 3 or 4 possessions too late Monty. You need to tell them to stop settling for 3's. Especially early ones

This smelling like the previous game. Finish them off quickly or else risk losing in final posession.

This bench needs Saric's offense.

I no longer feel comfortable when we have a big lead. We give them up. That's Suns basketball.

We are not getting to the line and are 1-10 from 3. Too much hesitation on 3s. And lots of turnovers.

We are lucky to be winning with all that going on actually.

28% 3 point shooting and leading by 6 I'll take it. Raps are at 29%.

What a terrible final possession. Why does Paul need to tell someone to come set a screen with 8 seconds left?
And why didn't he take the first screen?

Important first 3 minutes, Paul takeover required.

I think this smart phone deal showdown commercial has worn out it's effectiveness.

Nurkic, Convington, Powell, McCollum & Lillard is one scary lineup come playoff time. I want to avoid that team as much as possible.

Saric 7-27 from the field in the last 5 games. A tad above 25%. 0-9 from 3.

Return to Phoenix Suns
