Clippers had no choice but to keep playing him even after that cause they were so injury strapped.
I was a little surprised that the Suns still signed Gordon even after seeing that. Like Gordon is far worse than CP3 on defense and certainly this season. Gordon can’t guard on-ball and he can’t help either.
And how the hell is Jordan Goodwin this awful of a basketball player? People were saying he’s a steal in the Beal trade. He shot 45% from the field last season. He’s shooting 31% with the Suns this season. Did he break his god damn hand in the off season or something.
The lack of effot he puts in on defense is inexcusable. Play Yuta or something. I just don't understand how the laziness has not been fixed. It's one thing to be bad, it's another to half heartedly barely move and randomly double / help a covered player so that you put no pressure on the ball while also leaving guys WIDE OPEN. Even Monty is currently sitting Jaden Ivy for this type of thing. You cannot be this undisciplined on both ends of the court, and Vogel seems to not enforce any discipline.
