I don't care how good our FG% looks if they all come from the midrange. This isn't the old days of the NBA anymore, having a higher Fg% doesn't mean you're going to be up.

WE. CAN'T. KEEP. TRADING. THREE. FOR. TWOS!


This is getting old pretty quickly.

Suns are shooting 54% to Nuggets 50%. The guy was lost on Nuggets 15 to 5 threes and 16 to 9 turnovers in Denver’s favor as well.

I'm absolutely shocked. What about you Monty?


This isn’t the bubble Murray should not be torching anybody. :banghead:


I guess the first seed will beat you when you don't play any defense.

Put Shamet back in Monty. He will solve every problem.

Having 2 of the literal greatest shooters in NBA history and being unable to get them 3s is such a damning thing for a modern NBA coach. But any good coach facing us KNOWS Monty will adjust to them so if you load up the 3 point line you can basically eliminate it from the game. Monty is a **** disaster and he should've been fired last season.

It worked then because we had the elite defense to back it up but we have to evolve with the times

Rebounding needs to improve

Close the gap at the three point line

He's 100% correct.

Team rebounding has been awful this year and the past few years. Booker and Chris hit their mid range jumpers and forget about doing anything else. KD tries at least.
