Yeah yeah, play defense and rebound more. Besides that. Grant Hill CANNOT be Raja Bell on offense. Stouds and Marion need to be setting screens for that man and he needs to be taking 15 foot baseline Js, elbow Js, and backdoor layups. The Suns have enough guys shooting nothing but 3s. It's not Grant Hill's game, and it never will be and if they wanted it to be, then they should have just signed Jason Kapono instead. Grant Hill will never be a 3 point shooter and their offense wont go from great to spectacular unless he has the role that I stated above.

2 times in the 3rd quarter now, he looks like a lion driving to the hoop. That's Grant Hill bball. If the Suns let Grant Hill play Grant Hill bball, instead of him being Jason Kapono, the offense will go from explosive as heck to flat out IMPOSSIBLE to defend.

First half: Nothing but 3s and missing them all.

Second half: 2 STRONG layups and 1 drive and pull up mid range J.

I think a crackhead would rather take the first half.

they need to stop selling draft picks, they're not deep enough to swing trades without giving up key components.

i love they way they play but i just don't see them getting over the hump as presently constituted.

If this was a Knick team people would bust on Nash for his bunny rabbit jump up and down and wave D so much-
I don't know if a team like this could live in NY....
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

I would love for someone to explain why the Suns get bashed so much for their defense. They're frequently in the top 10 in defensive efficiency. The main reason why they give up a lot of points is they play a faster paced game which allows for more shots.

Solace, don't bash their defense as much as most other people, but I DID think they needed to actually improve their offense. I didn't see any go to guys last year, in case the offense wasn't clicking. Grant Hill is a real nice addition though.

As for the defense, they DESPERATELY need shotblocking.
