    Suns had 5 shooters, 4 all stars
    Nash, amare, Marion, joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson
    draft Luol Deng

    if Suns play defense, MDA should have 2 rings in 6 years.

    MDA playoffs record has 3 more wins than loss combined Suns and Rockets.

    bench: Unable to score lose 10 plus to 20 plus points
    sf: unable to score
    pf: unable to score


    They need real big 3 to shoot over 20 to save this team now.

    Those bench players need to big wash and rebuild.

    Those guys are disturbed because that basketball is glued to James and Russ's hands. They are not playing with the energy that they sometimes do because they are tired of getting sloppy 2nds and 3rd's

    D House is a replacement level player.

    0.1 VORP. 10.6 PER

    If he wants the ball, go to the G league.

    Otherwise make a ****ing shot or play defense at some point in your 30 minutes

    Everybody is messing up but dont you think its a problem if the best players are not playing defense and getting beat on effort and lack of awareness. That lack of a winning attitude and championship habits is established by the stars. If they are sliding the role players will start sliding

    What's wrong with our team?

    1. We are #1 in 3pt attempts and #21 in 3pt accuracy.

    2. Only three players on the active roster are taller than 6'6.

    That's not wrong.

    That's by design.

    The design is wrong then.

    We don't have size and we don't have shooters.

    Only Harden , Gordon and Tucker should ever shoot threes
    That’s it

    There's always been something wrong with our team. But the main difference was James Harden carrying and hitting his shots... and I'd say the reason he's missing more shots recently is because he's forcing them because he's trying too hard. Simply because we're either losing by quite a few points or because we have a terrible quarter. We're not seeing his natural game because of the double teaming and because he's trying to make up for the lack of supporting cast. This comes down to the coach and the supporting cast.

    The NBA teams have finally realized if you stop Harden, you stop the Rockets. They know the Rockets supporting cast is pretty awful.

    I think this is the first real year James Harden has felt his supporting cast isn't good enough. I know last year we looked bad in parts, but this year we look even worse. Players like Tucker, House and Rivers are playing much worse. We've brought inconsistent players like McLemore. The only players who has performed are Capela, Westbrook and Harden. I'd say you could survive without Capela. He's very limited.... and any other decent 7ft strong center could do the same job as him with Harden and Westbrook as your playmakers. You need at least 7 to 8 guys performing consistently if you want to compete.... and we literally only have 3 at the moment.

    After the shameful defeats against Memphis and Portland, can anyone be surprised by today's defeat? It's like waiting for this team to play defense with MDA as a coach!
    Now to hear the same excuses from MDA, from Harden, from ...

    It is to confuse the opponents.

    Look at the difference between coaches. One team doubled teamed their best player and other team let their best player do what he wanted to do... without no pressure on him whatsoever.

    The pajama uni was more effective at confusing the opponents.
