Can't do much about Monk's hot hand, but when you counteract that with forced PnR's and bad shots, you're going to get your opponent back in the game.


Don’t go under.
Don’t let him torch Book after he’s already hot.
Just a couple things you can do akshully


Bro you're actually a know it all lmaooo congrats on your akshul superior knowledge

ADVANCED STATS GOAT


Book is a sorry defender but he wasnt even in the game for a lot of Monk's explosion


Ya’ll gotta check ya eye tests. Just watch Book on defense and his deficiencies create tempos for opponents’ offenses constantly.


Did i not agree with that statement by calling him a sorry defender? Maybe you werent talking about Monk specifically, in which case my bad.

Booker only has 2 asts, he should have 4-6 if his teammates would make open shots. Suns should be blowing out this team. Let’s hope they can play better in the 2nd half. Get Ayton more involved and CP3 take more shots and we should be fine. The defense has been very bad so far (aside when CP3, Crowder, Cam and Mikal were out there together).

We were shooting 8-9 3's earlier. They were 1-9. That's what happens when you make shots. Now they're 7-11 and we're 8-11. The 3 is why we had a huge lead and the 3 is why they are only down 1 now

EDIT: NM, I was reading their FG makes. I dunno where I got the Suns numbers from. Might have not refreshed the page

Talking in general, but I understand how you thought it was about Monk only since he just torched Book and Monk was the subject of the moment. Book is still really bad off ball. Like not quite Amare level but man he’s not good!

Only down 1. Too close for comfort

but it means Booker likely need to have to contribute more so my $25 is still in play

Last i checked we were "allowing" the 3rd lowest 3P% on wide open 3s in the league. Presumably thata going to start going up and we need to have other parts of the game dialed in to handle it.

The thing that bothers me is this was another massive lead we've blown.
Any future early leads we have, I'm going to start assuming it won't las long

Man this team really can’t handle an early lead...it’s like they’re incapable of letting up if it gets above double digits. I think the sloppy and jack-y play on O is more concerning than Monk getting hot. Silver lining is if we tighten it up I think we’ll get that lead back quickly. The question is will we do it?

On your knees, juice. Show some respect to your betters!

Knew this one was a problem when we shot 6/7 from 3 in the first and were up 4. Then they started turning it over constantly w/live ball turnovers, leading to run outs and we still couldn’t bury them.

I edited my post. I got my numbers wrong. Not sure how. They did hit 5 3's since starting out 1-9 though

It’s the NBA? This your first year watching? First team?

Happens to everyone. Known as a “game of runs”, in fact!

can you consider a 17 point lead massive in the current NBA where teams regularly put up 140 point games?

it's like blowing a 10 point lead in the 90s.

Someone turned the Suns' 3-point slider down to 0.
