Good Morning Dub Nation devin booker jersey ebay,

One of the main phoenix suns classic jerseyreasons behind the Golden State Warriors’ 4-7 record is their poor play on the defensive side of the ball. Last year’s team was ranked as the second-best defense in the league for most of the season, while this year’s team has begun the season as the 27th ranked defense in the NBA. Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area wroteDraymond Green Jerseys an article detailing how head coach Steve Kerr approached this week of practice in order to help remedy the problem.

“Focus,” Kerr said Thursday. “Defending by showing your hands, defending without fouling. Transition defense, making sure we’re taking care of the easy stuff. And then boNBA Bobbleheadsxing out and avoiding second opportunities for our opponents.
