The new low, losing to Golden state

Wow.. of more like UGH..

How ugly was that game? And I am using the term game only because I cannot think of a word to describe the completely ugly performance.

I have slowly come to the opinion that the offense is inefficient from a system perspective. And that is on FO and Monte.

Just a few observations:

1. It seems like Book runs point about half the time Rubio is on the court.

2. They run all over the place in the "motion" offense before they actually get around to shooting

3. Some players are out of position when the ball goes up due to the "motion" offense

4. When a shot goes up, Players wait for what the ball does before they decide to play.. yes, standing around

And a few personal conclusions:

1. When Rubio is on the court, he should run the offense. Booker should not initiate the offense.

2. We expend way to much energy getting into the offense before the shot goes up.

3 and 4. Players need to defend while the ball is in flight, that is, blocking out, or moving towards a rebound, or covering any player heading for their basket.

IM just a fan, and not a basketball whiz.. But I think we cannot win with the way the offense is run. I think players exhaust themselves on offense, are out of position to defend, are out of position to block out, and at times, are lost within the offense. Also, this offense does not allow smooth or efficient transition to defense.

I have yet to see any play where the opposing team cannot stop us. IE, The Nash/Stat pick and roll. Until, Suns have plays which are mostly unstoppable, and Suns stop using a ton of energy just getting open, then we will not be playoff bound.
