Great job! - loved it. Thanks for the time you put into sharing the content.

Something to watch: Really enjoyed Three Identical Strangers on Netflix.

Something to listen: Spotify encouraged me to check out The Head and The Heart. Have been immersed in them since.... (Oh, and Hamilton)

Something to do: Have joined the cooking club and got a Kamado Joe which has meant meat sweats for the whole family during quarantine.... Seems that PhxHoopin had the same idea.

That double drag play will be incredible if that can execute it well consistently. Can’t wait for more Suns basketball! Great post! Love the detail

there's a reason it's one of my faves. so many options out of it. Igor used it a lot more actually. Ayton rolling and Booker popping of those is incredibly hard to stop

First of all this is really really fucking cool, minding some exceptions like the espn video with Ayton, this type of content helps me so much more to understand and love the game than the what the mainstream media has to offer.

Thank you for you work and looking foward to listen to you with Sam and Mike @Timelinepodcast and ofc for your next update here!

Cheers from Portugal!

Great great work man. A really nice read. I’d say 1st is Book decoy, 2nd is fist, third is horns and forth is broken spanish P&R. Eager to read from you man and thx a lot 🙏

Congrats on the newsletter! Big fan of your analysis and can’t wait to see more! I think Booker’s back door screens for Ayton show a lot of promise for the next development in the offense and for it to become more complex. I imagine the Suns expanding and using the weak side corner shooter (Cam Johnson would be perfect) as the back up option if his defender drops down to help with the lob. Rubio definitely has the vision to find the shooter

thank you. Yeah you can really see the need for knock down shooters when you see what this trio can create. Cam is looking like a very smart move.

Wow David, way more than I expected for the first issue. Thanks for a better place to play and have in depth discussion, looking forward to good debates with you and the rest of the Suns crew who will frequent this Playground!

Great post! Excited to see what you can create here.

Quarantine: just bought a new Traeger so I’ve been smokin briskets and reading Franklin & Barbecue.

Book: highly recommend the Silk Road. Finished it two weeks ago. Wild read.

Keep the content coming

Do you think they will keep the same fist signal? I really love that 'wrinkle' and always love watching Ayton's gravity.....

Expand full comment

teams often change signals & names to keep opposition scouts on their toes. but the Suns are still at basic concepts stage imo, so should hang around a bit.

The quality of this analysis is unmatched throughout the entire suns online community.
