Random NBA Observations 2021 - 2022

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

To be honest, I don't think the Suns have another gear.

While they'll certainly be better off with the experience of that Finals run last season, this is about as good as they'll get. Booker's size in combination with the volatility that comes with his shot selection, doesn't give him much more room for improvement; CP3 isn't getting any younger; Ayton has been in and out of the lineup so many times that the team is still maintaining the same level of success without him; none of the other role players are or project to be reliable offensive options.

They'll be reliant on keeping the pace they're now at, and hope that nobody out West hits a purple patch when the postseason rolls around.

For the Suns to take the next leap, they need Ayton to be that guy.

Problem is, as you know, they have no intention of featuring him more and he doesn't have the disposition to demand that for himself. But what's bizarre to me is, they're perimeter-orientated team and yet they're only 25th in 3s attempted. If you're going to be a low-volume three-point shooting team in today's game, you need to balance that out with a dominant inside game, which the Suns don't have. It's why in the two out of three meetings with the Warriors this season, despite the size advantage they had, they didn't utilize it nearly enough, and ended up being eaten alive and had their bones spat out by Golden State's three-point shooting: 43% on 38 attempts per game from behind the arc, whereas Phoenix only shot 36% on 26 attempts per game from behind the arc.

You're not going to beat the Warriors - let alone win a championship -- shooting low-volume threes on top of not dominating down low. You need to be proficient in one or the other, or ideally, both.

I told y'all about the Suns.

The Pelicans will be the best team in the West next season, I'd bet anything on that. The West is so damn wide open, only great team is GS. Damn dawg if Zion was healthy this year they coulda ran shyt .

Dallas won't be a cake walk for GS, but damn the whole West is going thru a transition and no team is separate from the pack.

NO has the best roster from 1-15 on the West,even better than GS on paper. I can't wait for nest season. This year was one of the most entertaining ever, next year will be better.

I think all of the OG's might be done winning titles except for GS.

Eh.

I want them to get a big point guard or else it's going to be Trail Blazers all over again with your backcourt not being able to guard anyone.

Way too much talent at the 1 and 2 spots to just forget about it. If they would have kept Lonzo, it would have been perfect.
