They won because of bad plays made by Phoenix on offense and defense. Ayton is athletic enough to guard most players. I guess the Suns think Ayton is some type of David Robinson or Hakeem on defense and that is not the case yet. Ayton does not show the will either of those players have on both ends of the court. He even has days that he does not show the will on the boards. If he put in the effort and pushed threw his mistakes he would be a way better defender then his is right now. Even Booker has times when he looses his effort. Then wonder why they loose. I do not care of they loose, but at least have the team show effort when loosing.

I feel bad for the suns losing but I love seeing Booker fail, I find him annoying as a person. He's so full of himself and tries to sound cool talking deep and slow like wtf lol

Harden cannot be MVP in a year he had a tantrum and refused to play for the first 10 games. He disqualified himself by acting like a four year old.

i been saying Kyrie & KD should start & have Harden off the Bench so he can run offense how he wants to, then IF they are losing in crunch time they can all 3 take the floor.. harden dominates when he gets to run PG and freely move around not worrying about regretting missing if kd or kyrie were open.. kd and kyrie have that chemistry and offensive distribution we like to see, but its too much to have all 3 of them in at once, but that does not mean any of them need to leave

What happen was Jordan was a defensive liability for 3 quarters then Brooklyn decided to play Jeff green at 5 so the suns couldn’t pick and roll the big. Brooklyn winning a Chip.

James harden as a player maker instead of a dedicated scorer is way too good. Kyrie - harden = eh Kyrie - KD = okay Harden - KD = 🤯 ..... why couldn’t the nets give away Kyrie 😪 either way the big 3 is pretty great.

@Road Runner sure he's taking some easy shortcuts in his analysis - and I'm pretty sure he knows a thing or two about coaching real time - but I just wanted to outline that he never said that Shamet was a better defender than Green, he just said that he'd rather have Booker isolate on a "big" in an endgame situation, which is debatable, but not absurd, as the first two posters of this thread said.
Road Runner

@Nico P man he said earlier the opp. when book posted on shamet .....its all easy to say after watching videos coaching real time in game is a diff. ball game

Not better in a vacuum, but Booker isolating against Jeff Green on top is arguably a better matchup than posting up Shamet.

great video coach but don't even start about Harden's MVP chances - they killed their chances when joined forces and I don't like that in the light of previous big 3s their trio doesn't get criticized for the lack of competitive spirit - that's some double standards

@The3pleThreat youre still stuck in 2014-15. Harden is not a liability on defense anymore man, simply watch some games and you'll see. He never misses games, never gets hurt, Consistently leads the league in mins and he's out of shape? Lmaoo that's wild
The3pleThreat
4 天 前
@Mr. Melendez thats not a good indicator. Part of the reason he is such a liability on D is coz he is tired from all that dribbling, and teams are too reliant on him to take him out earlier, and he ends up catching breathers on D

As much as I love Harden - him as an MVP might be a step too far. But one thing for sure: a player with a basketball master mind like James's is always going to make the team better IF and this if still stands no matter how great his late performances have been IF he likes the environment. But no different do we all behave at our jobs.
