Pretty simple:
Keep GMJ off of the floor. No matter what it takes. Even if Ian has a broken leg. Do not let GMJ onto the hardwood. He doesn't even resemble a D-Leaguer (no offense to D-Leaguers)
Tim MUST make a direct move to the basket when he's posted down low 1-on-1. When he hesitates and wastes 6 seconds off the clock looking over his shoulder, he doesn't generate anything and our offense breaks down. The Suns are not doubling on the entry, they double on the first dribble. So as soon as receiving the ball, Tim MUST go straight to the hole or into a move and force their hand early in the shot clock
Make shots down the stretch. In the last 3 minutes, Tony missed a layup, Hill missed a 3, Tim missed free throws, Manu missed an open look. If you're going to win on the road, you can't miss ALL your shots in crunch time
Do not allow their 2s & 3s to post up against Hill. How can he possibly check them 1-on-1? They abused that matchup. As bad as Hill was on Nash, there's no way he can defend in the post by himself, against anyone.
