Kind of relieved that the Suns are also having trouble guarding the Mavs 3pt shooting.
Tough to establish an inside game with your bigs' only offensive skillset is catching lobs. Bogey was our only players with a back to the basket repertoire.Ayton saw the ball more in that first half than I saw Gobert/Whiteside have it for the entire series. Would’ve been nice if we could’ve established an inside game at some point of that last series. But I guess that’s too hard. Much easier to just CJ miles it and cast away the first crap you can.
I mean, Whiteside has deep post game, we never gave him the ball.Tough to establish an inside game with your bigs' only offensive skillset is catching lobs. Bogey was our only players with a back to the basket repertoire.

That hurts.They’ve switched roles. It seems like just yesterday Booker was the stat getter on a crappy team. Now, it’s the reverse. Booker plays winning basketball while Spida has become a one trick pony.
This is where I feel Quin gets real stuck on missing the application of his statistical analysis. He accounts for only the most basic of variables and their most concrete relationships. To use your example (it could be a myriad of others), Rudy shooting somewhat below average on (presumably open) jumpers — which may be a poor percentage relative to wide-open averages, but perhaps within normal ranges for contested jumpers — may not be statistically optimal, but the changing dynamics (not easily represented in a statistical model) also change as a result, which goes back to a tree falling in the forest.Suns rea

I get that with the bigs the Jazz had, it is hard to really rely on them offensively, but Utah also did nothing creative to get them involved and we limit our bigs individual offensive involvement by design.
Like, I do think Rudy could potentially develop a 10-15 jumper like Ayton has (not as good though, obviously Ayton has very high level touch), and that would make the offense more varied, but Utah is really married to it's moneyball which means bigs should never shoot outside of 3 feet.
It does. I remember just a few years ago just obliterating the Suns. Gobert and the gang were dunking on them. They had a few stiff centers that just looked silly against our dominant frontline. Booker scored a lot. I seem to remember an issue against us where he got upset that he didn't get the final shot. He ended up yelling at someone for not passing him the ball? Does this ring a bell? They were just an awful team, one of the worst in the league.That hurts.
