Points given up

First 10 games: 105.5 pts per game
games 11-20: 109.7 pts per game(right around the time of the trade)
Games 21-30: 108.6 pts per game
Games 31-36: 98.3 pts per game(97.0 pts per over the last 7-Given up over 100 points once)

So the question is:

Did D'Antoni just sit back for the first 35 games and tell the team to jack up shots and not worry about defense? Did they just figure it out last night?

Like my sig says: I'll never trust this team again. Totally unpredictable - signed, the ****'n chicken.

We are rebuilding. Accept it and embrace it.

I would say that MDA's Phx teams played enough D to win a ton of games. They never had the best team talentwise but he got the most out of that talent. Nash, Amare & Marion is a very good trio but let's be honest, that's not an all world big 3.

Hopefully we can put together a stronger team than that and go further.
