    Is Jabari supposed to be a big man? Like what does he do besides shoots jumpers which are always variable. He has no inside game at all.

    We are TRYING to give the ball to KD at the top of the key. The opposition defense can just put all their effort in denying KD the ball, we have no counter. Our players will pick up their dribble and waste 7 seconds trying to pass the ball to KD while he's being fronted only to throw a shitty bounce pass that is picked up and turned into a layup on the other end. We've been watching this **** show offense for the past month.

    This clock malfunction works in the Suns’ favor. Ime-ball is just iso pounding the rock, whereas the Suns are playing 7 seconds or less.

    Yeah everyone is so used to the shot clock, it does just look like a pick up game and as soon as the announcer starts counting down you can see the players just panic and do some BS.

    Suns can't miss from 3 and we can barely buy a basket.
    To be down only 6 isn't too bad right now.

    Of course, I'm assuming reversion to the mean in the 2nd half....

    We haven’t looked the same soon as Alpi went down. Feels like everyone is scared to shoot

    keep it simple. the "clock" isn't a clock...it's a display.

    So, ESPN is displaying the same tech that is telling the PA guy and scorekeeper the time. They just can't get the court display clock to work
