Do you see the Suns stopping Jokic though? Domas had 24/15/7 against them tonight and that was even with the Kings randomly deciding to stop running their offense somewhere around midway through the third quarter. KD is a really solid backline defender but I think a lot of his numbers on that end were inflated this season by playing next to Claxton, who's become one of the best defenders in the league. Those scary defensive wings they were throwing out on the floor tonight do great against more traditionally perimeter based offenses but they can be beat off-ball.
I’m sorry, but I’m not impressed by PHX. At all. Even with KD on the roster.
First, I’ll bet either KD or CP3 or both will be injured come playoff time. Secondly, I think their roster is SOFT. And they are aren’t a good defensive team, especially after losing the players they did in the trade.
I think they’re a team that can get got offensively, like a lot of teams, but I don’t see a real contender. I see overrated.
That’s what stings so badly about the KINGS losing tonight. If their bench, sans TD, could give them a better performance than 1-12 — the KINGS win this game.
Lastly, the KINGS need to stop making Ayton look like a great player. He’s not. And CP3 has been washed for a while.
