I've never seen Caruso hit three 3's before.

And it's the usual offenders chucking the other team right back into the game.

Luckily the margin for error is going to be higher when they're healthy,but the bench is gonna need work man. I don't trust Okogie at all and Gordon doesn't play any D. I don't even trust Yuta.

that's what i meant a few days ago. eric gordon lost its value a lot time ago he might get you pints but his defense might be the worst in the team.

Brain fart
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

He shot over 40% his last year with the Lakers. As did KCP. That's why I thought it was ridiculous they traded those two, Kuzma and Harrell for Westbrook. Two 3&D 3pt shooting guards was perfect around LeBron and AD.

EG's been rough. Things were moving well before he came into the game. Doesn't help the first thing Okogie did was chuck a 3 either. Just our whole mojo was off when they came into the game

As great a player as KD is, he’s very easy to strip the ball from. Hard to block his shot but if I’m a defender just go for the strip.

It's all a work I progress still, but you can plainly see the upside when they have their horses.

It's because he's extremely lean.

Did you just figure out the blueprint to easily defending KD? After 15 seasons and 27k points

Okogie couldn't hit Sand from the beach right now

He also overplays everything on defense and gets out of position because of it.

Return to Phoenix Suns
