The Phoenix Suns came into this season with the plan to have thee All-NBA elite scorers help them close out fourth quarters like turning on a fire hose. Just shoot ‘em out of the gym.
Yes, there are great defenses who can shut down big scorers, but with only five defenders can they stop all three? Nah. Oh and there’s that pair of now-untended spot —shooter/cutter/roll divers waiting for the Big Threes’ outlet passes.
Dreamy.
Unfortunately, as we all know, we’re not going to get all three all the time. injuries happen. Especially to these Big Three.
