We have added Mitch Vonleh Dotson (mostly a DNP last year) and trier (who doesn’t suck) AND Timmy is taking charges and yet we’re worse
+1
Fiz's defense is what sucks worse than his O, although that's also an indicator of his personnel. Mitch is a foul machine, Dotson and Trier are hurt, and there was a stat piece not too long ago that showed Timmy's actually worse defensively than Melo. Kanter's just absolutely pathetic on D. Mix in rusty Lee, Lance and shoot first, second and third Burke. That leaves Frankie on a bad ankle holding the bag. Hello 41-17 third quarter. That's not your standard NBA run, that's the Great Depression.
This dam has too many damn holes, indeed.
Saw something that the Suns ran PnR every time on Kanter. That's why I think Fizz was playing zone. Don't let him near the perimeter. Would be a great strategy except for the fact that teams prefer taking uncontested 3 point shots which isn't that hard against a zone
As I've said before I'd find losing more palatable if we were playing the right way. Lately you see it on this board that we equate "the right way" with hustle and effort. ANd while it is definitely a positive to see hustle and effort (and Fizz gets credit for that) it is not enough.
I hope this was some ad hoc abomination because they were so short on man power
We need to dump Kanter and Lee for essentially anything we can get at this point. AT least Kornet can stretch the floor and move his feet a little. There is no way Kanter is on our future so why plan a D or O around him or deal with his tweets when he's on the pine
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
