I don't like the hard doubling and leaving guys open defense
No, it makes no sense in today’s NBA. Too many good shooters. If Durant makes a tough shot, that’s fine. But giving up layups and wide open 3s from a one pass after a hard double is just inexcusable. Dumb strategy. Nonstop switching and hard doubling makes me question if Hardy is the right coach going forward.
 
If we lose this one, it's gonna hurt
 
Can’t give up a 3 here. And we end up giving up a 3. It’s good offense but it’s mostly just dumb defense. Just dumb
 
Did we go to Lauri at all in overtime? Even once?
 
The defensive schemes have been great. Jazz have to double
They haven't worked though. Steve was posting how often they were scoring over and over. It was a lot. Basically every possession.
Might not have worked to not double either but doubling certainty didn't work.

Not once

Again, we just don’t consistently go with favorable matchups. Lauri should be touching it every time. Bad defenders should be exploited. Instead, it’s a grab bag of plays offensively. Guys just take turns going one on one. I think im about done with Hardy TBH
 
I mean if it was a thing where they were making tough shots, you live with it.

But the 28 pts in 13 possessions stretch from Phoenix were mostly easy layups and wide open corner 3's.
 
From a few posts ago
Suns have 28 points in the last 13 possessions. That's......... Not great.

They've worked great. It's Durant and Booker. We don't have a single individual defender anywhere near the caliber of players they are. Steve has a schtick, don't fall for it
 
Smart foul by the suns
