Have The Phoenix Suns Solved THIS Major Problem?



Have The Phoenix Suns Solved THIS Major Problem?

They did play better um but you just can’t put your finger on is it better because their defense was more locked in yeah or was it better because of who the 76ers rolled outco a lot of people are pointing out that the defense did look better in tonight’s game they’re giving kudos to

Bradley Beal and his defensive efforts I know Tyrese Maxi’s had 30 plus points and I think five of his last seven games and he finished with what tonight six seven something like that six he didn’t have a good game yeah had six he was three of 13 oh four from from the field

So do you guys feel like the defense was a little bit better tonight than what we’ve seen as of late see that’s hard to judge it really is hard to judge against a team like this there’s multiple guys in there that I’m sure like Devon Booker

Was like who the is this guy you know what I mean like I just there’s a couple dudes that I saw a couple I was like man I who hell I haven’t seen that guy for a minute or I don’t even know who he is right um so

You gotta take it with a grain of Sal but you know listen they they did play better um but you just can’t put your finger on is it better because their defense was more locked in yeah or was it better because of who the 76ers

Rolled out um I think there was a little bit of both they still broke down sometimes I mean we talked about a play where nobody even realized there was a guy wide open in the corner yeah walked up and hit a just you know the Buddy

Heed one where it was like and all three of them didn’t know who to go to yeah so so it’s those it’s those communication errors that continuously happen um and when you play better teams it’s going to be exposed a little bit more and we saw that against Milwaukee tonight they try

To clean it up again these these next three or four games you really do have to work on fine-tuning your sets and your defensive rotations because that’s probably the most glaring thing that’s going to stop stop you from being competitive in the playoffs if they I’ll

Say this if they play the level of defense that they did against Milwaukee and and the Celtics in the second half um in the playoffs it’ll be four five six game series maybe Max um they’ll see themselves in Cancun pretty damn soon they got to lock in on the

Defensive side I feel like that’s the you know I talked about Bradley Beal giving this team offensively a higher ceiling um and and the potential to get to that ceiling well I think defensively right now uh you know their floor is kind of low right now and they need to they need to

Raise that level up yeah I was just going to say it’s interesting that the 76ers starters only had 46 points tonight like their bench carried them in large part and so most of those minutes their starters would have played as against our starters so I think they were fairly locked in

Defensively to your point though you have to go back and watch the tape and understand how many open Miss shots did Philly have but you got to give him some Kudos after what we’ve seen against some of these other teams starting lineups they did they did

A pretty solid job there and held them to only 43% shooting

The Phoenix Suns spoke at practice about needing to play better defense for the rest of this season. On the PHNX Suns vs Sixers postgame show we discussed if the Suns played better defense in their win over the 76ers.

  1. Nurks help defense on Maxey was great but the Suns still have a defensive issue with Vogel's starting lineup & his rotation.

  2. Lock in defensively, run the offense through KD because Booker wants to force his shots up, and then Brad should come off the bench. Hopefully, Isaiah can orchestrate the offense to find some balance. Great job Grayson, Bol, and Nurk rebounding. I'd rather see Josh play more defensively than Eric G.
