    Can’t even hit FTs when get the rare opportunities on top of that to stop those big runs from getting out of hand

    I'll take a 5 point deficit at the half with CJ having hit a few shots.

    If he warms up in the second half and everything else stays the same, this will be a very close game.

    What a game both ways.

    But man. We have to learn how to guard a star player.
    BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.

    BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.

    He continues paying dividends in his minutes.

    In two play-in games plus the play-off games so far, Trey is shooting 47.0% from 3 on 4 attempts a game. By far our best shooter of late.

    Double team Booker for **** sake. No reason for him to be uncovered ever.

    Perhaps we need to unleash our secret weapon in the second half.

    I mean, Deven is going god mode, yet for some reason he has been left alone on too many switches. At least make him work for his shots.

    Down 5 to a team who's only offense so far is 7 3s from one player. Don't hate it.

    Are we leaving him single covered to keep the ball out of CP3's hands? And just hoping he misses? Not working so far lol

    Dude just pulled up from 30+ feet. You tip your cap if he makes it.

    They got to get a body on Booker or double him. You have to be physical and grind on him to get him uncomfortable.

    I don't think we have a guy that do that. Herb will get rookie carded if he tries anything.

    Outside of Booker, the Suns so far tonight are shooting

    12/27 (44.4%) - not too bad
    3/11 from 3 (27.2%) - literally awful

    His 31 points makes up literally more than half of their overall points. We're beating them in REBs, both OREB and D, and we've fouled less. If we can clean up the turnovers a little and just put Booker under a little pressure, there's potential here. But will the adjustments be made?

    Next year we could be the next Phoenix Suns. Look at this on the bright side

    This. I mean 3.3 seconds. Double team him if you have to. I'd rather take my chance with anyone else right now.

    Rather double him and give up a layup. Than give up a three to a guy that's 6/9

    And now we're up.

    It sure seems like we do well when we push a faster pace.
