Akot/Smith are putting up goose eggs and Doutrive is still sitting on the bench.
How long is Miller going to go with Akot/Smith???? In another month PAC12 play begins. Late February is not the time
to realize that Smith/Alot are not cutting it. Doutrive needs PT/experience now.

Foul disparity catching up to us...its not the fouls as much as WHEN they call 'em...I am convinced refs control the score because they can control the flow...

Can't even remember a worse 2nd team ever for Arizona. Can't miss out on mentioning how awful Lee is too.

Bah, everything seemed off from the start of the half. The offense was slow and jeter oriented instead of more free flowing that it was in the first half.
Not surprising, you need more than one player to score. Luther, Akot,lee, jeter, Randolph, Smith just haven’t hit much.

Luther is too slow on the hedge and the help defense is a little too slow to recognize.
Backside has almost an impossible job. He has to be in the paint to contain the roller and be able to closeout on the pass. The margin for error is incredibly small and amount of effort is incredibly high. Ideally you would make it easier for your team to play defense.
We are getting killed on the glass since Jeter went out.

hence why NBA teams switch so much and no one hard hedges.

We need to keep Jeter/Lee/Luther out of foul trouble this year.
GIVE up the hard hedge.....at least with the bigs. jeter/Lee are both getting fouls in every game hedging.

Few just throwing it in our face.
Sideline reporter: "How did you get back in the game?"
Few: "...we started switching ball screens."
Oh what it would be like to have a coach that adjusted instead of telling the players to execute better.

Sometimes he comes up to screen level but I don't think he hard hedges too much. But the Suns are the 3rd worst defensive team in the NBA, so...

Going to be nice next year having a tall pg. We will switch screens too. It's hard to do when you have a 5'9" pg

Game changed in 2nd half when we started trying to get Jeter involved on offense. That got us out of our flow that got us playing so well. It also forced Chase into getting a frustration foul that led to a frustration tech. The game took a turn before Jeter fouled out. It didn’t do us any favors either.
