The Phoenix Suns BIGGEST Weakness…

The Phoenix Suns BIGGEST Weakness…

I don’t think it’s a focus Point like we haven’t been focused on guarding the three-point line now we’re gonna start doing that like Jesus Christ what do we think that they’re doing in practice I mean that would be hilarious if that was the case though oh we’ve just only been

Ging twos what what is it at what point do we look at the scoring and be like okay we’ve got enough of that we need defense defense or we need Paint touches we need penetration we need drive and kick we need ball movement like we don’t have

Those things isaah Thomas Cho can’t be choose no of course but like I just I don’t want to read too much into Isaiah Thomas even if he is still that level of scorer because like that was never their problem yeah the problem was like we

Need to move the ball we need to not get stagnant on offense and defensively we need to guard the damn three-point line play with emergency but I think Brad in the last thing he said brought it up which I really what it is is a guy not

Afraid to take more of those three-point attemps and and we’ve talked about it they lack in that like 30 ain’t G to get it done in most cases and I know people say well they still score at at a high clip even without sure but if they’re gonna not guard the three-point line

They’re gonna have to hit more to to be in these games so I think that’s probably the thinking because there wasn’t a def defensive stopper out there available or a true point guard that would have made sense so I I think that’s why we’re sitting with Isaiah

Thomas I got a number for G sure you’re the analytics Guru you’re the guy with the numbers the number I’m looking at now and I don’t even know if there’s a number out there but I’m G tell you the number I’m looking at now is differential of attempts yeah for threes

Three-point differential attempt differential MH you can’t give up 50 and take 30 there’s a 20 shot differential there there is no way on God’s green earth you’re going to survive in the playoffs or even win a championship if that differential is that damn wide you

Gotta find a way to shrink that so how do you shrink that you contest at the three-point line you stay at home you deny threes that’s number one you got to do a better job of that and you have to take more so yeah Isaiah helps you take

More but how do we shorten the Gap in in in regards to how many they’re taking that’s the big that that is the big thing and that’s why when people are saying well if we don’t need more scoring why are we getting outscored because you’re giving up 140 [ __ ]

Points you can’t do that 183 Porters and a half ain’t good Bless but listen listen we might get both okay it signing a 10day coach vogle told us today the emphasis of practice was three-point defense quote by a mile there we go so here’s what he had to say about the Suns

Three-point defense against Boston and Milwaukee yeah awareness a lot of overh helping a lot of short Closeouts um you know the spread five coverages uh you know gave us problems um we didn’t execute them well enough we have protections built in you know to keep our centers on the floor but uh we

Didn’t execute them very well um but but anything when you have a you know a three-point barrage like you saw in those two games they’re all shapes and sizes you know but uh the general urgency I thought we played really hard especially when we got down

And you know battled to fight back in the game but you know the one area that we we didn’t play hard enough was urgency to to three-point line see so we’re going to get both tomorrow we’re going to put up more threes and we’re going to be better defensively I love

How it’s like love we decided to start practicing that today I know that’s better than never that’s that’s better late than never I want just saying to never that’s the thing is like I was getting a bunch of comments about like why don’t the Suns focus on guarding the three-point line guys every

Defense tries to do that in the NBA but it’s really hard with the skill level to do that especially when their focus has been protecting the paint because they were getting torched early in the season with points in the paint I think they overcorrected and I think because they

Don’t have the Defenders to contain on the perimeter as soon as that first drive by happens you’re helping you’re rotating you’re in scramble mode and that always always opens up the three-point line and so against teams like the Bucks and the Celtics that are top five in both three-point attempts

And three-point percentage you’re GNA get torched if you don’t play well and contain that initial drive and they didn’t in either game and they got absolutely wrecked for it I don’t think it’s a focus Point like we haven’t been focused on guarding the three-point line now we’re gonna start doing that like

Jesus Christ what do we think that they’re doing in practice I mean that would be hilarious if that was the case though oh we’ve just only been guarding two what what is this

The Phoenix Suns need to be better at defending the 3-point line and it was a major focal point of Suns practice today. Frank Vogel talked about how that was an issue for the team in the past few games and and area that needs to be cleaned up.
