I don’t even have to watch the video and I can tell you that the rotations are the reason we are gonna lose
Ott has awful rotations and why isn't he playing Fleming and Maluach??
That most recent one-point loss to the Spurs and this loss against the Rockets after having a 21 point advantage are the two most painful losses IMO
Yes, rotations are bad. Why aren't we playing the 5 guys we did against the Clippers when healthy. Green, Book, Allen, Brooks, Mark.
Honestly, Book, Green, & Brooks can't play together. All 3 need the ball to score 90% of their FG attempts are with the ball. Last 3 games 22, 26, & 15 assists. The ball isn't moving at all.
I like Goody, but he's not a starter, same as Collin. You can't have 550 3-pointers coming off the bench. When Grayson starts he can get you 9 made 3s in a game. Ott has our 3 point shooter's on the bench getting cold.
You can't have Goody shooting 6 3s and Grayson, Collin, & Royce only shooting 8 3s between them that's 550 3s made between them and now there not getting any shots.
I blame the players. This team is full of twinkle toe, butter cup wimps.
Green needs to come off the bench. Book, Green, & Brooks can't play together. Zero ball movement and 3 ball hogs aren't a recipe for success. It reminds me of Book, KD, & Beal. This team was better when Green was out, just like when Beal was out. I'm sorry, but it's true.
He was a better coach with limited options. Now that we have people healthy his idea of a solid lineup is crazy. We could be winning these games but, if he isn't willing to help the team when the solutions are sitting on the bench it drives me crazy. Ime put in Clint and Tate and took back the game from us. The 9 man rotation was horrible. Why not play with any level of size while it sits on the bench? I don't get it.
4:05 "the right guys" and it's a 4 guard lineup. We are about to get embarrassed in the playin
BOTH I GUESS
Ich nenne die 3 Gründe, wesgalb die Suns verlieren. 18 Turnovers sind 15 Turnovers zuviel. Die Rockets hatten doppelt soviele Rebounds. Das liegt daran, dass Ott klein spielt. Wurfquote from Downtown. In diesem Spiel haben Gillespie, Royce, Brooks, Green und Allen vom Perimeter nichts getroffen. Das ist Otts taktische Grundaufstellung – hoffentlich nur diese Saison. Gegen die Bulls gab es auch einen rabenschwarzen Tag. Gegen die Bulls konnte man aber evtl noch gewinnen, wenn man einen Frontcourt gehabt hättte. Williams und Oso mit 27 Pts kann man nix vorerfen. Dunn sitzt seit Wochen auf der Bank. Rookies wurden nach der Rückkehr von Brooks und Williams auch wieder auf die Bank gesetzt. Suns mit 7 Assists plus Booker mug wditerdn 8 Assists. Rockets mit 12 Assists plus Sengün 6 und Thomson 8. Ich wünschte mir, dass dieses Team jedes Spiel so auftritt, dass fast alle Spieler mind. 3 Assists in der Statistik haben. Mindesspielzeit 12min. Wenn man sich aber anschaut wie die Spieler positioniert sind, ist ja alles zugestellt und Ott setzt auf "mit dem Kopf durch die Wand". Mehr den Ball und Gegner laufen lassen. Oso lässt sich übrigens immer noch den Schneid abkaufen. Oso benötigt eine gesunde Wettkampfhärte. Und Brooks soll endlich aufhören mit dem Drama. Jede Partie derselbe Schmu. Es überlebg sich einfach. Der Mehrwert ist nicht zu erkennen. Und was istceigentlich mit Gillespie los? Schlackern die Knie? In den Playoffs sollte man alles abrufen was einen die Saison ausgezeichnet hat. Soll er sich Motivationsvideos von sich ansehen, wenn es hilft
