What are the Phoenix Suns’ biggest issues right now?

What are the Phoenix Suns’ biggest issues right now?

The games over the weekend the Suns lose them both and you know to reset where we are now there’s 21 games left in the regular season for the Suns 35 and 26 on the year they are seventh in the Western Conference they almost certainly won’t drop past 10th they’re going to have a

Really hard time climbing up past fifth forward but if Devon Booker is going to be out for quote at least the next 7 to 10 days their schedule is getting brutal now coming up Denver the Celtics twice Cleveland all mixed in there I mean you could argue that Denver and the Celtics

Are the two best teams probably in basketball and Cleveland’s right up there and they just played Oklahoma City last night who has the best record in the Western Conference it’s going to be tough for them to move up wolf so it’s really kind of crunch time to

Get down to whatever is causing the problems for this team the way you always say it there’s something in the way with this team yeah it’s got to be identified and fixed now yeah um it’s so unbelievable it is Bas ons because once again the juer position of what happened

Saturday night and who they were playing Saturday night with the juer position of what happened Sunday and who they were playing Sunday night it’s right there the Rockets were more physical than the Suns and took the aggressiveness to the Suns and the Thunder were more talented

Than the booker Suns and proved it in the end that’s the thing I can’t get over if you could change one thing then about this team right now like you could just fix one thing going forward what would it be their effort their effort right now they’re not

Killers they’re not killers and they need that killer mentality right now um Saturday night the Rockets LED for most of the game but the Suns cut it they cut it to 9998 right Midway through the fourth quarter and Josh aoi’s layup cut it to 9998 they came back even though the

Rockets LED almost all game and Van vet responded with a three-pointer right there to turn it back and then all a sudden they took control game again right it would have been nice if it was just like I think it was Sav Lee that had a layup and he missed it and then

Yeah the Rockets came down they hit a shot but it’s like okay well now you go hit a shot not just like now now Houston gets to go on this uh this huge run um on Sunday Night Luke the Suns came back from being down 24 I mean this is great

They came back to take the lead but they couldn’t finish the deal they could not finish the deal when they got into the four qu when missed the shot again I watched the two games back to back they’ve all blurred into one horrible four hour experience you know they look

The Suns came up with some huge stops in that game against OKC and that was encouraging but they turned the ball over again at critical times in the fourth quarter and that’s what also happened against the Rockets that’s what that would change because the and I I

Could almost guarantee you to a man on the team that’s what they would say they need to change because the three things three like tangible statistic things that may fall within the effort that you’re talking about of the toughness is they usually get beat from Beyond the

The Arc but they that almost seems to be kind of a they’re conceding that right because they’re going to take more mid-range shots they don’t they don’t take as many threes as most teams and they actually hitting threes last night they were they were it looked like they might win the

Game from Beyond The Arc last night the rebounding has been an issue over the course of the season but like last night obviously nerk had 31 so they were pretty dominant on the glass for most of that game it was even against Houston like the rebounding hasn’t been as much

Of an issue lately and at least you see flashes of if they can get hot from three maybe they’ll take more and hit more in a game but the turnovers man that’s not getting better they they turn the ball over 40 times in those two games and Houston and Oklahoma

City turned it over at combined 17 times so tell me where they lost these two games it was turnovers it was turnovers man and especially if you were watching it again in the fourth quarter um wow some of the careless passes Once Again Bradley Beal Kevin Durant even big nerk

Just inexcusable it it really was a situation where you were you were questioning how what did you see how did you see that and why would you throw that pass it’s like Sam darnold out there wow it was bad uh here’s use of nerkish after the game on the turnovers

I mean I got five of them few games ago I got seven of them so I had to be better and I think from tonight you know we saw the you know some players step up and you know big emphasis should be in take number one going forward for rest

Of because we have a power we have a people who can score the ball no matter what and I think if we don’t turn over we we’re going to win a lot of games and we can’t be dominated team as we would wish and we can if we’re going to turn

The ball over we just given too much people to you know have advantage of us and 22 and 31 points it’s hard to come especially down players and one of the best players out too D Booker so you just got to be smart man I think our

Most you know turnovers is in good you know in good place but you just got to find a way I think that’s the the biggest thing going forward for rest of the season and and you know going to play us you’re going to see this team

Again and and a lot of teams who who who Force you you know in in playing a fast type of basketball so we got to be it’s almost better show the bad side than turnover KD had five turnovers and we’ve seen that before right uh three assists five

Turnovers um big nerk had five turnovers four assists five turnovers Bradley Beal had seven turnovers and six assists be said flat out after the game that’s why they lost it’s definitely why we lost the game I think uh they did a good job just junking junking the game up a little bit

Forced us to a lot of just bad passes uh sometimes we’re playing in crowds um weren’t making good passes so just everybody KD talked about it too they’re trying to make the risky play sometimes crosscourt passes uh they get their hands on it there going to be a

Lot of pressure on us at all times um you know so they they looking to get steals number one team and creating turnovers in the league so got to be better yeah and I just want to say this quickly once again when I say Killers based in ons okay we all

Understand I’m talking about competing out on the floor out on the ice out on the field the diamond whatever it may be we’re talking about competing right here but they don’t have that Killers don’t beat themselves and that’s what the Phoenix Sons that’s what I mean they

Don’t have that killer mental it they don’t beat themselves and yet that’s what the Suns do with these turnovers they end up beating themselves thanks for watching wolf and Luke tap to see more and click the button in the middle to subscribe to Arizona Sports
