Gilbert Arenas Breaks Down The RED HOT Suns Offense



Gilbert Arenas Breaks Down The RED HOT Suns Offense

Is there a better player in the league than dbook went hot when book is hot is there a better player in the league then yeah yeah I’m I’m when hot yeah when hot yeah I mean went hot to everybody [ __ ] dangerous yeah [ __ ] I me yeah goddamn Wardell listen that Wardell that that

Other lightskinned boy over there zero and [ __ ] Milwaukee that [ __ ] get it going listen Good Luck [ __ ] the one on the one on his team he going to shoot that [ __ ] when he cross half course so good [ __ ] look we just seen we just seen him be

Hot he’s up there what’s it like when you’re when you’re high like that in the zone like that just getting buckets just get me to rock and get out the way basically or is that like that all the time with you no not all time know when

You’re talking about 82 games man you’re talking about what maybe three maybe three games a year mhm maybe three games a year you feel like really invincible out of 82 I mean and then you had there’s going to be three games where you’re going to be horrible as [ __ ] no

Matter what happens right so you got about three games or just it’s all green lights yeah you know what I mean when you’re on the road everything is green everything is woo no matter what you do it’s like when you on fire and something happened and you get hit and you just

Throw it half court that [ __ ] going it’s one of those days yeah you got about three you got about three a season do you know that going into the game or is at some point in the game it just clicks and that thing is falling

And it’s like I’m going to keep it going it’s a you know just waking up like damn like theard like New York the Knicks like it’s just a feel you know you feel the energy like you just know what time it is is so is it based Arena

B like if I’m going to a Staples I’m going to the Garden I’m going somewhere where I know the energy is going to be hyped or is like damn I might get this in OKC one night just cuz you ever you ever woke up and then like your jumping

Ability felt like like damn I got like a couple extra in me like I know I got a 44 but this [ __ ] feel like a 48 today you ever feel feel good yeah right like feeling good out there yeah bounc mm that’s that’s how it is with

The Jer like [ __ ] feel damn something bothers me though with the defense that’s been played out there though I watched that whole game last night and the drop the pick and roll on the snake pick and roll it’s crazy to me how far the bigs back off and allow Dev to get

To his spot every single time and it’s like at what point you going to make him do something else like it get it to the point where it get so comfortable everyone’s doing the same [ __ ] going to the same spot cuz the bigs are doing the same [ __ ] defense and it’s weird to

Me because you’re not making them do nothing else like Grant Williams if Luc is coming off and Grant Williams is going to be the one guy going to shoot this [ __ ] every time and he ain’t making [ __ ] we’re going to make him shoot that [ __ ] every single time we’re

Not going to change up our defense mm but then you got uh a Kobe really not hitting that [ __ ] like that but y’all not pushing up on book to make him pass to a Kobe he taking that [ __ ] because the big is dropped off like what is y’all doing

And why the coaches not adjusting Jason kid you know you’ve been in this league long enough to know tell your bigs to get up in the pig and roll even if he splitting that [ __ ] they got no bigs Lively the only [ __ ] out there like yo what are we doing this [ __ ]

Weird and then he got he literally 12 in a row boom boom boom boom used to have that argument I used to have that argument with Steve Nash right um the pick and roll with Steve Nash it was go over go over and sag I like why don’t we

Just [ __ ] hard show this dude get the ball out of his hand perod cuz it was like cuz the rest of players good too it was like the rest of the players good too we hard showed he throw it there dump it down to Omari who’s guarding

I don’t give a [ __ ] that ain’t my guy yeah right figure it out on the back side figure it out trying something different yes that part well there’s just like no real rotations happening like hard show obviously if there’s a hard show there’s going to have to be

Some type of movement in the back but everyone is so hugged up to their person they now they’re scared to rotate they’re trying to figure out how to stay out of rotations now we’ll come right out of that timeout we being that huddle he’ll say one thing we’ll come up right

At that time out hey yo come here man [ __ ] that man we going listen I’m going jump out there we the [ __ ] come off this screen I’m going jump him y’all get ready to rotate I’ll take the first man back pre rotate everythingall right soon as out of the

Time he call that man [ __ ] what he talking about man ain’t going to do that this [ __ ] out here cooking us running this [ __ ] [ __ ] no but I hear what you say cuz you can’t switch it you can’t but how hard is it with that son’s

Big three out there so got 4 there still n Shooters out there though yeah there still that’s what I’m saying still non shooter NK and a Kobe are out there or you leaving Grayson Allen we but my thing go back to that clip let’s see who’s actually out there no

But my thing is right guys so I watch guys footwork offensive right and guys like they work on their offensive game and all that [ __ ] right bigs M you can’t tell me that your footwork is that good offensively and is existence and you can’t get your ass up

On the pick and roll and move your come on my [ __ ] that’s all like like you great at mother soon as you get that mother you got every move in your rep you [ __ ] Chris Brown and Michaelson but defensively your [ __ ] and see me come on now that don’t work for

Me like that you can’t move that well and be running that fast when the when that ball involved and all of a sudden defense like no I can’t get up on the stream Luka too Luka too Luka part of that [ __ ] that’s that’s the whole thing for me

With it like I watched Alpine sangon right last few years he great offensive his [ __ ] footwork is amazing M pick and roll sagging down lazy as [ __ ] back on that pick and roll and [ __ ] Ant-Man put his ass in that basket I’m like you see you what the next trip that

[ __ ] that screen came that [ __ ] was right level of that [ __ ] level of that [ __ ] I’m like yeah that’s yeah getting your ass put in that Rim a teach you it will for sure your ass up on that screen but that’s the ability we talking about

Let’s see what it looks like yeah let’s show those highlights again but uh look how far back he is there’s no reason to be back there go go go back that was he ain’t even rolling look n is not even rolling but as a Defender get back in front

[ __ ] [ __ ] look look where you at watch this look at ner look at everybody else the ball going see you can’t keep going back keep going back go back go back go back go back go back go back Luka can’t help whoever keep going back keep going

Back keep going back what’s cuz you know what’s got to happen yeah so like n is going to have to have 95 [ __ ] points no what what I’m saying this what you going to do right here look no look look Lively is look where Lively he is back

Too okay now put him if you brought him up now you got uh uh Tim Hardway Jr we’re bringing him in to show the body show to who show and get back to Grayson he’s showing and get back [ __ ] that wait wait so it’s elbows and boxes gray you

Ain’t even got to put a grayon out in I mean you ain’t even got to put listen leave both of them [ __ ] where they are they got two Shooters right on that side they got two Shooters on this side and whoever’s on is on the other side F

That’s de Durant that’s fine let Kevin Durant let all three the [ __ ] be exactly where they are right now right why is this man setting the screen and this Defender ain’t got his [ __ ] hand on yeah he up on the ball he got to be up on the ball hand on

His hip into the ball he [ __ ] Wings span now Madden basketball they they want you to be long arms long all this [ __ ] right if he got his hand on his hip mhm I ain’t saying he got to be hugging him touching the screener yep Devin Booker seeing a whole different look

Coming off the screen absolutely everybody else is where they are and Nur is going to have to score a th000 points yes huh he’s slow as [ __ ] yes okay but who’s going to okay the man that show get back slow yes the slow and get back it’s a slow roll nerkish ain’t rolling

The he ain’t fast rolling that [ __ ] out it’s not AAR he Mari in it he GT it so when do you so as long as I still have the ball what are you going to do if you’re nage I’m not live I’m not leaving till you pass it yes this is what they

Do in the double when they double outside we staying here a shot clock you got 13 second look when you cross have is 14 you haveth the ner no matter what yeah you remember how I used to play pick and roll right but that that’s not

You but I’m just saying so if I’m teaching him we want him to throw it to Nur we want him to throw it to Nur I’m stay right there wait till nerkish Gets behind Lively then I’m going to make the pass so you can’t get back anyway but we

If we have a double if our double is strong enough and like he said if he’s into the ball enough he not just going to be doing some [ __ ] I’m playing defense on him I’m affecting the ball and then what he doing is he’s reaching

For the ball too he not just letting you dribble d i Once I pass the ball to Nerf rotate rotate you can’t rotate let do you know Bill and let ner I’m saying nerk is going to have to come wi chamberling tonight and I’m saying fake

And I’m saying fake and get back I’m not saying full rotate I’m saying we’re faking and getting back to the shooters if he got it going the way book had it going right he’s not going to continue to score no no way nerk is going like he’s going to have to become with

Chamberling tonight dog he giving us 20 and 20 I mean he can’t score though he could but he got to prove it tonight guess what I’m do you got to prove it tonight let see it let’s see it [ __ ] yall not going to give up points like that that we not going to

Let Booker get 46 we not going let Booker get 4 wide open lay because we still got four other guys three other guys on the back side bro there’s no rhythm to layups y’all know you have do you know red L there’s Kevin Durant here so you can’t have Kevin’s in

The strong corner I mean on the weak side deep Corner he’s saying rotate and then you can’t rotate he saying I said I’m saying show and get back I’m not saying rotation you’re not getting back you’re not they showed it I watched the whole game they did it they did the short

Rotate and got back to the shooters and they missed and they got a stop they did that multiple times they showed it that’s why I was like why are y’all not continue doing the same [ __ ] maybe you give up a three to Bill occasionally maybe you give up a three to Grayson

Alley occasionally but you’re not giving that [ __ ] up every single time where you’re like hey we can’t do this timeout let’s change it up that’s not what’s happening y’all are giving up dein Booker giving 12 straight buckets in a pick and roll with no help no show and that boy too athletic

Lively he’s too athletic if you’re not stopping the ball I’m going to keep you behind me see Lively going to keep keep getting back the ball I’m not going to let you get back in front of me can I say this let me say this when are you

Going stop this is what I’m saying if Liv’s up look at bill right now let me this let me Bill can I look look if Livy’s up Luca got to take nage right no no look Bill’s open right now Tim Hardaway is this guy who’s going to

Rotate the bill now where does green go Green’s gonna go to where Tim Hardaway was it’s called a scramble who’s stopping the ball what you mean once he passes it to Bill if Booker passes it the bill because Luca’s helping he’s going to pass it the bill we’re rotating

The bill and then we’re rotating to whoever um is boom bo but it’s scramble defense who getting Booker when Booker get the ball back up top the big bucket we’re on the scramble we’re on the scramble they’re putting you in SC that’s the reason that they’re putting you in scramble the whole time

Look how look how small look how small look how far Luca is because he has to help right I pass that the beill right he’s going a quick pass that’s a shot but look if we’re Bill’s a shot too but look if we’re here it’s a tougher pass

It’s a tougher pass because we’re affecting him while we’re in this double we’re affecting that pass it’s a slower pass or it has to be a jump pass whatever the case a that’s a regular ass pass no look not if he’s up who’s up not if not if

Lively’s up it’s not a regular pass if’s up it’s a no cuz Luka’s there it’s a live over no it’s a Crackdown they’re it’s called Crackdown they’re into the move to play right now before the [ __ ] gets started right he sees nerkish going up he’s at the level of the screen right

He’s not going to be able to get in front of Deon Booker sees that M his natural reaction at the level of the screen he going to either try to beat him going wide right or he going to back it up yes he got chance to square him

Back up like y’all said he should have got back in front of him if he can there you go there’s not enough pride and effort in every play but if he’s up on the screen initially it’s a whole different look defensively that’s all I’m and all the rotations and all that

[ __ ] that y’all it don’t matter at the end of the day because if he’s up on the screen stops all of that [ __ ] just gives a different gives a different look just sometimes still get around like life is all I’m saying but it gives it a different look to keep you out of

Rotation here’s my point Luka was trying to do the same because Grayson Allen shooting [ __ ] out the ball now so you don’t have a weak League out there at times but if aogi is out there then you make the ball find him that’s one thing but in this situation

If he’s up on the screen he’s too athletic yeah and Lively body no pun int I mean just making a how how many turnovers did Luka have how many turnover Nish right now and Lively gets his body off of you what is Jason doing to the Moon Fredo what if this is

Kenyan Kenyan is nerkish right now and Lively takes his his left elbow off of his body and try to come up at this point he’s too late he’s too late at this point he’s way too late but what I’m saying is in the game Luca had the same opportunities that Booker had but

He was getting turnovers because they was rotating they was rotating to the he don’t have the shter but there’s already beat from the jump from who’s guarding and listen if wh he can whip that once he get by by the top of the key Devin Booker if he wanted to he can

Whip that [ __ ] right over there the goddamn Bradley Bill right there because on the box one more D left hand pass through that [ __ ] a wide open three Lively is up he can’t do that those things I’m saying that’s all I’m saying I’m saying that’s the only pass

You got I don’t and Tim hard Way’s there no I don’t Tim’s there for that PO pass that’s not the only pass I have if Lively’s up and my man is rolling all I do is just do what we used to do to Miami right he’s going to hard show or

Be up hit him I’m going to pass it straight he’s going to catch the roll pass it to who who you passing it to nage I’m going to pass it to you and you’re going to pass it where am I you’re where Kevin Durant is right now

I’m on this side quick get so you talking about the hockey that’s the only going to be different throw it throw the it’s getting the ball out of Booker’s hands that’s what we doing I’m not going to do it every time I know but he changing it

Up that’s what he saying we’re not we’re going to make you change it up and it’s simp and that’s why defense it’s pride no it’s that but you have to be proactive yes instead of reactive and that’s why I think you need to be up on

The [ __ ] pick and roll time give him a not every time you give him a different look but this [ __ ] got it going I’m going to be up on the pick and roll like it just what it isort NK just in it he got it going this

Way I’mma be up on the pick roll I just believe in making guys do [ __ ] I’m just not in excuses and telling where the guy well he can’t do it so we going to play it this way like no I don’t buy that man we paying you a king’s Ransom

[ __ ] you going to goddamn try I think I think Bill was I think Bill and what’s name was busting their ass too they was KD only had yeah Bill and Grayson all was [ __ ] up too it’s no your personnel at this point it’s no your person so you be scared you

Be scared to get off your human nature is if I help and you shot that my next time help it ain’t going to be that perfect example everybody worried about sh defense we playing sh we guarding the ball the ball there I listen man he coming off that [ __ ] we

Own the ball until he swing that [ __ ] and when he swing what do we do it’s called close the [ __ ] out hard close out not a slow close out not a no run that [ __ ] off the line run them off the line well these three dudes you can’t run off

You can’t CU they going to shoot it they go one they going one dribble P they all got the same [ __ ] right so but that’s what we’re giving upfuck is different we’re not going to give up the three we’re giving up a close out two

We’re giving up a hard two that they can hit that they work on but we going to give that up rather than giving up easy jump shots at the free throw line for Devon Booker hell no everybody gonna [ __ ] turn on goddamn Scott Van Pelt at tonight be like damn nerkish had a

Night had one of them nights I’m that’s just the way I do yeah he going to be get tired of scoring like damn I’m opening again yes damn what a def D they let me they let Meck like no dude you going hey just no proactive man playing defense and that’s

Why I’m y’all [ __ ] will score mhm right and I think the other way

  1. You can tell they didn’t watch the Pacers x Suns game at all. They only looked at the final 62 Booker had started saying, “gotta start doubling and rotating” “there’s no rotations anymore” “gotta throw different looks at em” “leave and force someone to make that every time. I’m leaving Nurk and Okogie open”They weren’t even in most the game. That’s exactly what the Pacers started doing. They just throwing out scenarios that never even happened cause they didn’t watch

  2. Exactly gil. Get the ball out of D.Book's hands for what? So he can pass it to KD? Bradley Beal?? It's a damned situation

  3. Rashad analysts to kind of compare grant Williams to Devin Booker is horrible rude and incredibly ignorant no where near same player lmao 😂

  4. Lmao love how that female there literally for no reason. She TRIED to talk. & No I'm not against her being there, I'm just pointing out that she needs to be heard more.

  5. I love this show I watch it any chance I get but this damn screen they using is ass I know they got enough money and sponsorship to give the fans a good screen to flip to see what they’re talking about still great show #criticism that helps

  6. He ain’t never lied…Luka got all that offense but be lazy asl on the defensive end 🤦🏾‍♂️😂…them guys be having no interest in defending

  7. Yo, I looked up some Lexi highlights, she nice…since she's been on the show, I actually enjoy the woman's point in the conversation

  8. Yes Gil I feel u on that. Sometimes I can only dunk 1 donut in my milk and then there are days I can dunk 2-3 donuts in my milk 😊😅super bouncy. Just say it, all together now…. There is no defense in nba. Everybody is walking bucket. When average players like Niang can get 33 points end of discussion 🤦🏻‍♂️💀

  9. You have to switch everything now most times that’s what made a Draymond and Klay so valuable on the defensive end in their athletic prime…its going to be times where you’re going to have take your big out the game if he can’t switch you can’t give these guys consistent open looks they’re nba players they were all stars in b4 getting to the league

  10. Kevin can make tough shot even if doubled team .He don’t need to bounce of Nurkic as he can find his spot and make his own shot.

  11. Klay, Kyrie, and KD are the best players when hot and in that order because their overall game and the fact that they don’t cool off.

  12. Yo Gil and everyone at the arena, ya'll should have T-Mac up on the show! Would love to see 2 of the possibly greatest scorers ever to talk basketball.

  13. This is an amazing chat. I wish they could revisit this topic and discuss how the magic played and ended up coming back in the 4th.

  14. McCants is right. We gotta stop acting like making passes more difficult isn’t a big part of defense

  15. This is why those guys are on TV and not coaching. You let Nurkic roll to the basket first half he’s gonna have 18 and 7 assists by halftime and then Booker is gonna figure it out in 2nd half and still have 44

  16. Booker's ego is not ganna let Nurkic go off for 30 plus and he only score 12.. the team would eventually collap if teams did that to the suns…

  17. 😂 listing to these 2 was the worst episode ever. They talked over GA the whole time.. Fuck, shut up and see the Mavericks got torn apart in this last one.

  18. Phoenix suns James Jones you right bring him back Memphis grizzlies had him on kawhi leonard not at the center position
