Would be nice to have an offense who doesnt rely on super tough shots.

what the **** kind of shot selection is this from Bledsoe/Booker?

where is the offensive structure? stop giving your guards free reign to chuck. Instill the right habits early and coach out the bad ones,

Kind of interesting to see our defense has improved. Bender and Jackson both being really disruptive out there.

Bench your guards for the game.

Bledsoe, Booker, Ulis. They want to chuck, they can do it in practice.

Young guys need to rebound when Chandler's off the court (Bender, Chriss, Jackson).

Bender looking like a genuine C protecting the rim is probably the best sign all game.

Suns individual defensive efforts look alot better than years past.

Suns rotations on D, not so much.

Bender has more potential than Chriss. Chriss is just so raw as a player, Bender has polish to his game, he just needs a great developement coach and confidence. His skill set is better.

Liking what I'm seeing from Josh Jackson although we gotta fix that form on that jumper, I like how he fits next to Booker.

Alot of shots have barely rimmed out. I'd say biggest thing is our defensive rotations (which goes to coaching) year after year are horrible. We always seem to be slightly out of position rotating and getting help defense. That comes down to coaching.
