Our offensive sets are just sad.

The Starters are playing POOR TEAM basketball. I see ISOs and players ball watching... and turning the ball over due to lack of chit chat and awareness.

Need more ball movement when the scorers are guarded.

Good thing is that he can play 3-5 (more 5 when he puts on some muscle) and when I thought of that I thought he could play point too like he did most of his career if he was a few inches shorter...not pg, but point forward kind of like greek freak. Just so versatile. But the height an length is a plus so he can switch anywhere.

Man I really like your team with Booker and Warren. But what the hell is going on with these rotations? I cant watch the game here just curious.

They are crazy, particularly with Chandler out tonight, but the big positive is that Chriss AND Bender are both playing a lot which is what we've all wanted to see, win or lose.

Booker is such a successful offensive player, even when the shots not dropping.

Proud of Suns for fighting back into this one. Booker needs to get better defensively, Lillard purposely trying to get him to guard him cause its easy for him to draw fouls/score on him. I think Booker will use it as motivation to get better.

Lillard realizes its winning time and he just casually knocks down shot after shot.

You know we aren't supposed to win this game when Dame is pulling up from 35 and nailing it

Lillard with the Curry-range... damn

Its scary that he is a better volume 3pt shooter than Curry comparing their first 4 seasons.

We had a really nice series of handoffs on the perimeter then Bledsoe KILLS ALL FLOW by HOLDING the ball and allowing the defence to settle.. then hoists up a long contested shot.

Im sick of Bledsoe and his stupid plays on the ball. He always stops and stands still with the ball every time he gets it which kills the flow and allows the defence to recover.

Learn the basics of playing point guard Bledsoe. Because you obviously dont know it. Sick of players that dont know SIMPLE FUNDAMENTALS

Hey Tucker. Great defence allowing Harkless to go for an easy layup you scrub
