Can a Stotts-defender explain to me what Stotts' strategy is when Dame gets trapped right now? Surely they must think he's doing something right against it and I wanna see what they see.

I don't see a strategy.

 

[Shaboid]

This is looking like playoff basketball and I like it.

 

[illmatic99]

Phoenix's only offensive strategy right now is to attack Kanter every time

 

[Strenuus]

I don't see a strategy.

Can't see something that ain't there.

 

[Strenuus]

Phoenix's only offensive strategy right now is to attack Kanter every time

It's what smart teams should do.

 

[Cugel]

Norm is out to lunch.

 

[EGame]

our offense is painful to watch so far

 

[illmatic99]

team needs to wake the f up. making stupid turnovers

 

[illmatic99]

rondae or DJ need to be on the floor instead.

 

[Jayblaze]

For a guy who if not scoring is useless he sure gets alot of minutes carmelo anthony

 

[Strenuus]

Can't have these types of droughts in the playoffs. Worrisome.

You forgot who our coach was apparently lmao.

 

[OneSport3]

Doesn’t look like this will be one of Melo’s nights. Maybe they should lessen his minutes on the back end of B2Bs.

 

[EGame]

melo probably shouldnt play the rest of the night

 

[B-Roy]

Please stop the Kanter Melo torture

 

[James lamphear]

Melo has to hit those open 3 and CJ is dial in.

 

[Strenuus]

melo probably shouldnt play the rest of the night

He's a negative most nights, so im okay with that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Melo having an off night

 

[BlazerBeav]

We are scuffling on offense.....and still out scoring the Suns. The bitching is silly.

 

[Cugel]

Jeez Saric is useless. I use to like his game when he and Roco were sixers. No wonder he is Dnpcd

 

[illmatic99]

i think i can count on one hand the number of times Melo has swung the ball to a more open shooter on the perimeter this season.

you're ice fucking cold. pass the ball. Ant (a better shooter) was WIIIIIDE OPEN

 

[BonesJones]

Why is Kanter playing if their centers are stretch 5s (Saric and Kaminsky), and we're deciding to switch almost everything?

 

[EGame]

I'd mostly be fine if melo weren't playing. Our offense outside of CJ this quarter has been kinda meh but our D still looks really nice

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

You forgot who our coach was apparently lmao.

With Phoenix no true centers, RHJ would be more effective on D, but Kanter should be able to dominate on O.

 

[illmatic99]

CJ is scorching hot. our defense looks shaky to me. making a ton of mistakes. If we were focused, we'd be up a lot more with Dame/CJ looking like this.

makes me worried when they get cold

 

[Strenuus]

You must have forgot who our coach is lmao.

 

[Hoopguru]

Phx leaving CJ wide open

 

[Labinot41]

Stotts' obssession with Kanter and Melo is disgusting

 

[illmatic99]

theyre getting away with a ton of contact

 

[BonesJones]

Imagine if Booker wasn't ice cold.
