I think one strategic move would be to insert Kleber into the starting lineup.

Defensively, move Brunson over to CP3 he just can't keep defending bigger guys.

Those are just two little tweaks I would make after watching this game.

I agree on Brunson too. CP3 struggles with guys that are near his height and can get as low as him. Alvarado was in his shit, but he’s got too many moves for a taller guy.

speaking of Brunson


This analysis was spot on about how Phoenix contained him.

The Suns started the game with Jae Crowder guarding JB, and they were not afraid to switch. Brunson struggled against Crowder’s size and strength.
