What they’ve done with Goodwin this year is crazy. It’s like they cloned Josh Okogie but made a better version of him. Demon on the boards and makes a bunch of hustle plays with good defense. Gillespie gets the praise ofc but Goodwin is a dawg and he’s been a very important piece to this Suns team identity

Of course it’s genderless. If it wasn’t genderless it would be called Men’s NBA, a la the WNBA.

Good defense is quite an understatement. He wears down ball handlers all game long and in the fourth quarter of almost every game is stifling teams offenses almost single-handedly. It might not be traditional “great on ball defender” style defense, but the amount of times he’s disrupting ball handlers and forcing poor passing putting our other handsy defenders in positions for steals and to create turnovers is honestly remarkable.

Obviously it’s a system that isn’t just Goodwin, but I’ve never seen a team so reliably create absolute chaos for excellent offensive teams over and over every single game, particularly in the fourth quarter. A lot of that is Goodwin just ball hawking on the boards, full court pressing, reaching in, deflecting, smothering, staying tight without fouling.

He’s won more games for us this year than I can count and almost none of it shows up in the box score. It’s still shocking to watch as a fan, especially a life long suns fan who is completely unaccustomed to our teams having any real defensive identity.

Seriously, there was a possession late in the 4th where he guarded like 4 blazers, and almost got the strip on Holiday before Holiday got the deflection back and made a slick pass to Rob Williams for the dunk. That, I think might have been one the best individual displays of defense I’ll see all year. I was actually sick for him that he didn’t come away with that steal. If anyone can find the video of the full possession please post it.

Gillespie is modern day Nash

Goodwin identifies as a power forward

And games after 8:00 on the west coast should be illegal (college games after dark gets a pass)

Team goes on bad stretch with injured star this time

Fans: “he’s fucking terrible, fire him”

Carcrusher3 | Trail Blazers

6 | 6 hours ago

The real reality is we got most of our players back, and the vets are just playing lazy uninspired basketball.

The g league/two way rotation games the team looked much better. This isn’t just a Deni problem, a 6 game losing streak against a bunch if teams down their best players too and teams like the Wizards is just horrid no matter how you look at it.

Jrue had a good start to the season before injury, has he been underperforming recently?

Carcrusher3 | Trail Blazers

4 | 6 hours ago

Yeah he’s looked pretty bad since coming back.

11.6 ppg 3.8 apg 4.6 rpb on 50% ts 2.2 turnovers a game.

His defense isn’t good, hes dribbling off his feet, turning it over on inbounds. It’s been rough.

Blazers played drop coverage and made seemingly no adjustments so we just got cooked over and over from 3. Jrue played like complete ass, dribbling it out of bounds and off his feet. Shae had an amazing dunk but it’s hard to enjoy it much when we just blew a 20 point lead.

I still remember the team owner saying the media and fans will be wrong about the Suns this season. He said they were wrong when they predicted they’ll be contender with Durant, so they’ll be wrong again. Lol
