Is it really? I think it's really more just a mindset of getting rid of the ball as quick as possible. If that's what you mean, then yes I agree


making the pass ahead in transition is a smarter decision than holding it yourself and bringing it up. takes advantage of non-set defenses

100%

that's the basis of SSOL. But with modern day 'PGs', that's not really in their mindset which is infuriating sometimes. I really do miss the days of the ball going end to end without ever hitting the hardwood once

Most of the reddit ones sucked, but I finally got on one that was blurry but at least not buffering. Then suddenly it cleared up perfectly and is without commercials and is showing Suns Dancers and stuff during breaks.

Nice that we scored more in the first quarter than the first half last game.

It's a shocker when we DON'T give up 30+ in the first quarter last couple seasons.

Booker with some sick alley oops, and that transition snipe. Sad that he is our best (only) playmaker

Finally a nice run. And Bledsoe is out. Dunno what is wrong with Bledsoe so far, but he's definitely not putting in the smart effort he did at times in previous years.

I expect we'll win double digits from here, 125-114.

Jackson and Booker have been our best.

how often if ever do the Suns run any DHO with the ball in bigs' hands? seems mostly mover-blocker (everyone but one guard stationary)

could really leverage Booker's shooting gravity in a variety of ways aside from just off the dribble

First link is perfect quality for me after clicking on the HD thing at the bottom and going with the most HD option.

yeah this team really needs an offensive structure overhaul. can't have 4 guys standing around while one guy dribbles around
