Christian Braun is killing us on the glass. This is a TEAM problem and has been Monty's entire tenure.

Jokic has more offensive rebounds than Ayton has rebounds altogether.

He shouldn’t just stand there watching from behind the basket then. He should move those legs.

Ayton spent most the game on switches against guards. Malone's game plan is Milwaukee's. Force the Ayton switch and then crash the board with both wings and Jokic. And our pansy ass team refuses to box ANY of them out.

Use ayton and CP3 to upgrade the roster somehow in the off-season. Get Shamet on the first bus out of town as well. Monty can go too.

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.
Not sure what was the thought about this.

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.

....and now the best coach available and a top 5 coach in the league was just stolen by Houston. I'm not even sure who is available that's good. I'm personally not convinced about Nurse at all.

Hopefully Monty can improve and make adjustments and we can recover from this game.

His ball handling was terrible against Boston last season too. It’s why he always averages a **** ton of turnovers.

Why to put Payne 45 minutes too late.

That's my point

Could you imagine being a coach that knows exactly how an opposing team plays and just ignoring it completely.

Then imagine not guarding the three point line and allowing layup after layup.

SunsRback4Good · Post #477 » by **SunsRback4Good** » Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:49 am

We should have pulled a Dallas missed the playoffs and went after Wenbamyama even if our odds were at 1%.

What was the defensive gameplan? I about had a stroke when Monty said our rebounding problem was being TOO AGGRESSIVE on the perimeter. It was a complete misread of what was happening and we started to open the floodgates from 3 after making that "adjustment". Monty needs to have been fired yesterday.

This is why the first round was concerning at times. Winning games but still looking like ****. Ayton makes no effort to rebound or box out and it kills is over and over

Ayton had plenty of moments like this where he’s just watching and instead of actually getting in the paint himself
