Does anybody care to play defense on this team?

Denver was way overdue for a win

who do you expect to see playing defense on that team?

[Dragic4Life]

Kyrie needs to go.

I want to trade him for Dragic.

they can't stop transition baskets
they can't stop lay ups
they can't stop dribble drives

the only thing they can stop are jumpers

Defense is a wholly team scheme, everybody gotta chime in.

Not gonna happen with the egos on that team paired with the fact that most of the guys on that roster are lackluster defenders.

Not that it's easy containing ballers like Afflalo and Lawson when they decide to show up but PO vets like LeBron and Marion should let the rest know this shit aint gonna fly come postseason.

what ego issues are there? outside of Kyrie saying he has to adjust to the new role, there hasn't been much quarrel on that part.

Would u still be a suns fan if that went thru?

I'm a diehard Suns fan.

But even as of now, I primarily root for the Cavs as they have the better chance to win it all.

If Dragic moves to the Cavs, I'll probably be a minor Suns fan still.

Oh yes. Dragic plays some great D.

This team would be so much better if they had John Wall instead of Kyrie Irving. A real pg who actually plays defense would work wonders for this team.

[DukeDelonte13]

Lebron is sometimes a huge culprit on the lazy D.

they play D in spurts, they need to play it CONSISTENTLY.

AND MOVE THE F*CKING BALL.



frustrating watching a team with so much talent piss games away because of stupid BS.

Makes me think that those Mike Brown led teams back in the day did so well because guys like D-West, Mo, Andy, Z, etc. played without having any preconceived notions as to what they were or weren't capable of doing on the floor whereas Kyrie and K-Love go out there looking to put up their numbers.

He is. But I guarantee you come playoff time, he tightens that up. He is trying to preserve his body since he lost all that weight.
