Wow. We only won the first Q
KD owns the Knicks, so tonight he let little bro torch them too.
First time all season I thought we really looked like a Frank Vogel team.
Scrappy. Getting offensive rebounds. Defense was outstanding for large parts of the game (Nurk especially!) I like the direction.
Arguably our best win of the season. I’d say we were without 3 of our best 4 players - and still won. Role players stepped up incredibly well.
lol, we got Goodwin for Shamet. 😂
Imagine a team missing 3 of their top 4,and winning on road vs quality team.
Missing Murray Mpj and Gordon. Missing Tatum, jrue, and porzingus. Missing dame, Lopez, Middleton.
This team starting to come online.
Him.
I want to point out HOW WELL the team ran the Knicks off the 3 at the end of the game. It was pure will. They have it in them. It takes THAT level of defense to keep a team shooting poorly from 3. You can’t just give up open shots and hope they don’t go in.
Now that I’ve seen it, I expect it. Especially at end of quarter when you can just sub in these Dawgs. Hell take out all the offense if it’s last possession of qtr - goodwin, okogie, little, kbd, nurk. I wonder why we didn’t do that on last shot
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the varied looks on defense. Sometimes you double, sometimes not. Maybe hedge. Maybe switch. Maybe blitz. Maybe zone. Haven’t seen box1 yet but coming. It’s awesome and amazing for have 5 guys be able to orchestrate constantly different looks. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this from my team. It really drives home how much Vogel is doing things differently and I think it’s SO EFFECTIVE. particularly at the end. It’s harder to feel in your groove when the defense is unpredictable like this.
Imo I want to name that the suns have elite role players
-Allen is on the level of a Derrick white or Bruce brown. His elite skill is shooting but he brings enough everywhere that he can’t be played off the floor.
-Gordon is the vet version of the same. ANOTHER guy who is norn powell level of value. comes off the bench.
-nurk is playing ayton to even more or less. Knowing that 2 other rotation dudes are now present is laughable.
Beyond this, guys like goodwin, Yuta, little, eubanks are all serviceable and I’d say above avg bench pieces, but they really stand out when you have a team with enough depth that these dudes are your 7th-10th guys.
At this point-
Suns best player KD? 3rd or 4th best 1st option in nba
2nd best book - best 2nd option in nba
3rd best beal - best 3rd option in nba
4th best Gordon - top 5 fourth option
5th best Allen - top 5 fifth option
6th best nurk - top 5 sixth option imo
That’s pretty wild.
