Booker, Durant and Suns comes up short as Curry circus shot lifts Warriors



Booker, Durant and Suns comes up short as Curry circus shot lifts Warriors

What’s up everybody Welcome in to the phnx Suns post game show no sexy sacks on this Saturday evening because the Phoenix Suns fall to the Golden State Warriors 113 to 112 I’m Lindsay that’s Flex that’s espo dang guys that was a terrible way to end this game I’m frustrated I’m not

Concerned I hated the way that game ended they should have won they fought all the way back in a game that they probably didn’t have business coming all the way back in but one good defensive possession in this game is over or one better run play at the end and they walk

Out of golden state with the win uh Steph Curry hits those shots I’m I’m not that’s not a lucky shot from Steph that’s a Steph Curry shot uh and Bradley Beal made the made the wrong choice on the defensive end there but I I hate the game I’m not concerned about the the

Long-term prognosis after it though yeah listen so I’m not concerned about this team long term this is this is about tonight I’m I’m [ __ ] furious I am I’m I’m furious this is a game the Suns didn’t relatively play well at all today especially in the first half right they

They didn’t play well they struggled a lot in the first half to get any clean looks to have to have the game in your Gras to be up two with 2.8 and the fact that you allow Steph Curry to even touch the ball is what’s driving me crazy it’s driving me crazy

Like it’s yo Brad bill gambled on the steel you give him a clean look I think if you play him straight up uh it’s going to be a tough shot for Steph to make and again coming out that time out I I’m emphasizing anybody but staff damn it

Anybody but Steph well yeah I mean if he hits that shot with Beal in his face you go okay you go okay okay you live with it but Beal bit on it he bit on it and it it was not an egregious enough p inbound pass or a pass to Steph there

That he should have been on it he should have cut in front of him and if he had to whip around and shoot over Beal and he hits it fine but that was just a poor defensive decision by Bradley Beal and how is that not everybody going just

Don’t let Steph get in front of you whoever winds up on him if we have to switch don’t let Steph get get past you and pull up for that three and anyway shape or form just stay on him if you foul him you foul him the worst they can

Do you know as long as he’s not shooting is is get two free throws on that like it’s yeah it’s it’s the here’s the thing it’s the cardinal sin because one you know step can shoot the ball from the [ __ ] parking lot so you have to be mindful of that number two with

2.8 if he down Cuts as opposed to trying to take the steal he’s right in in front of Steph Steph’s got to elevate over a guy that’s literally his height and as athletic so he’s going to contest but here’s the other part they had a foul to

Give in that spot you got a foul to [ __ ] give and so you play that straight you if Steph does catch the ball you’re immediately in the grasp and saying here you go bro here’s the foul do it again the fact that he’s able to get a pass

Turn and get a [ __ ] clean look at that just blows my mind so yeah I’m not I’m not mad because I think the Suns stink I’m not mad because I don’t think the suns are good I’m mad because I felt like this was a game the Suns had in and

It was it was it was done it was their game just simple play at DN execution and we all going home tomorrow watching the Super Bowl this one hurts I’m pissed off I’m not normally like this but I’m I’m pissed off right now I want to have a bigger conversation about how you’re

Feeling compared to how I’m feeling about this game here in a minute but before we get to that we do have a couple super chats about this specific play that we’re talking about so don sent us one thank you Don they said who’s G to tell Beal that you can’t

Gamble on steals when you’re guarding Steph Curry in that situation tough L I am I’m gonna tell Bill you can’t gamble because that’s the epitome of the word gamble if you’re gambling in a game-winning situation there’s a chance you can lose so you do not gamble on

That spot if you’re going for that steal it better be a steal and if it’s not that’s how you lose so I am as a coach as a player I’m absolutely saying you can’t [ __ ] gamble there it’s one thing you know if you weren’t coming off

Of a timeout the Warriors had taken a timeout right so at that point that should be the message right that should be the complete message is don’t bite anything stay on your man don’t give up a three anything but giving up an open look for three and they don’t do that

And that’s frustrating I don’t know that I would have fouled because you risk with how fast Steph can shoot that you put him in line for three free throws but I would take being in front of him and if he hits it you live with it this

Is not the what you can live with is is a bad defensive gamble in a spot where it’s not worth making that defensive Gam here’s the here’s where where I’m goingon to go there espo he had a clear path to Steph the entire play he gambled on the steel

Which put him out of position but if he doesn’t gamble on the steel the minute that ball touches step he could have bear hugged him he you don’t even get a chance to even think about a shot it’s one of those things where it’s like yo anybody but Steph and if Steph’s into

Play and you’re guarding him you foul before the ball get gets there boom you wrap him up it’s do it again it sometimes they run these staggers and Steph gets loose and you’re playing catch up like Eric Gordon did in the first half that wasn’t that there was no

One there he could have easily just rolled him the whole way and as soon as he touched it just foul him and do it again so that’s it’s just such a it I love Brad Bal this I’m not this doesn’t nobody sit here and say we Brad B stink

We did trade bad no it’s none of that that was just a bad play in the moment and Steph you know did Steph things it’s why he’s the first battle Hall of Fame the greatest shooter to ever lived by far hands down and and he and he made us

Pay tonight that wasn’t an easy three and they didn’t they didn’t run him off like he they weren’t chasing him he came from Down Under The Nail kind of gave KD that kind of little push came up and Beal was right there right they knew that part they knew what they were doing

There he just bit I can’t bit I can’t believe he bit on it so Tim has a different take on this one a little bit Tim said I don’t put that last play on Beal honestly if that pass was on target Beal steals it hard to sweep that team

40 and then another sidebar Draymond Green if someone shows you who they are believe them he hasn’t changed we’ll get to the Draymond Green Yousef nage stuff a little bit later in this game but any truth to what Tim is saying here as far

As if that pass is On Target does be get it if was F we all be Jo get that steal are we saying wow look at that basketball like you look at that that forward thinking like his eyesight out there being able to read that but when

He when he moves towards it you can already tell it’s off Target I think that’s why why he tried to jump it because he thought it was it was just don’t don’t get behind Steph Curry that’s the whole message it’s that simple simple if it was that far out of

Out of his range it goes out of bounds you get the ball anyway stay in front of Steph L let me let me tell you again I’m going to go back to the player and me I’m going to go back to the coaching me I’ve made mistakes like that I’ve been

Coached up I’ve been taught I’ve had players make mistakes like that it all burs down to your assignment okay now let’s make believe it’s Kevin Durant on that play and the play is going to Draymond gamble gamble it’s [ __ ] Draymond Green that you’re leaving gamble if you don’t get to steal the

Chances of GRE Draymond hitting that shot are are slim to none but because we’re talking about Stephen wardale Curry the [ __ ] greatest shooter to probably ever lived it it has Lind there’s no in between no I it has to be Brad you either have the damn steal the ball’s in

Your hands or you don’t take that Gamble and you as much as he says this about the pass he didn’t steal it so I mean he didn’t steal it and he gave steps the the here’s the bigger part Lyn is that him gambling so much put him so far out

Of the play he couldn’t get that Steph could just turn around Spin and clearly walk into a shot I’ll even say if you want to gamble halfway but still hold your position but he was completely out to play so it was a sellout that’s what

We call sellout you so out on the steal when you lost can we go back a few plays though before that or did you have I had one of people are asking why didn’t you put in J or Roy and that’s pop my only guess is because you still had three

Some odd seconds or whatever it is both of those guys are atrocious free throw shooters so I I don’t know if the thought was even if they get a steal they’re going to get fouled right away and both guys are shooting in the 60% range from free throw from the free

Throw line I still would put him in I think you should have I’m just trying to think what’s the only only logic in it is that and even that if you got the ball by the time they got the ball back they were going to have very limited

Time that’s why that’s why I bring them in I bring them in one because they’re better Defenders you had the foul to give and if you get a stop and they are foul you’re up two and they have no timeouts and they have to find a way to

Get the ball 94 feet and hit a three so yeah and in most in MO in mostes you want up up three bare minimum bare minimum if he goes 50% and even I’mma tell you what if if he hits one free if he hits the first free throw even if you

Miss the second one game’s over probably soon as it hits the rim they got a rebound game’s over so yeah there something to talk about there too in that spot I’m probably putting J and Royce in there but I listen there’s a lot to digest we lost that was a tough

Loss you know we could we could play Monday Morning Quarterback all we want um it Steph just hit an incredible shot and then again I don’t want to take I don’t wanna I don’t want to take credit away from Steph ly that wasn’t a total line three that’s

That’s probably a little bit of Brad’s thinking too if if there’s any logic behind Curry pull from the goddamn logo make yeah I told you parking lot range that can’t be in his head at all I would find that hard to believe if Bradley Bal

Was like oh but it we so no it’s stuff yeah it’s stuff right it’s Stu I I yeah this we two more Super chats to real quick Don sent us another one why wasn’t aogi and Royce in on that possession offline Aunt sent us one their first one

Thank you offline they said why be and EG on the court over r o and Jo anyway um I know you guys are es but you brought that up but I do want to kind of go back to the play before since offline brought up Eric Gordon and a lot of

People are mad at Bradley Beal for missing that three before I put a little bit more of that blame on Eric Gordon I feel like he should have taken the shot not passed it back to Bradley Beal personally 100% talked about it in in studio watching the game uh that’s on

That’s on EG EG’s got to let that flying go by the time Brad gets it back you’re you’re you’re messing with the shot clock you’re messing with trying to even get a shot up he had to he had to take a dribble side step that’s just a tough

Shot so that that ain’t on Brad no it um what do you mean stop with the excuses I mean who what respond respond to that look it’s it’s you mean by stop by I’m sorry I I I don’t know like look it was crash Gordon I mean he did that multiple

Times tonight where he kind of jumped in the air and and then he got the the up and down once he threw a bad pass he refuses to take that corner three yeah that was open for a guy that shoots like that uh and and kicks it to Brad well

Brad was shocked he got it back some people in the chat are like Brad was open he has to make that shot yeah but the shot clock was also winding clock and the shot clock was winding down so much that it would have been a better shot if Eric Gordon had

Taken he had to step in to get the defender and back off and he’s shooting a fallback three on that that’s not an easy shot Eric Gordon had the open shot and if he’s a three-point shooter which is why he’s out there he needs to pull

On that if he’s lost his confidence in that he shouldn’t be on the court I don’t understand why he’s not shooting that damn ball that’s why he’s here if you were not willing to shoot that Eric Gordon you shouldn’t be here you were in the cheeks

Clinic tonight that was not what a play worthy of a guy that is supposedly a knockdown three-point shooter you pull or you go to the bench that’s it yeah Gary sent us Super Chat and said Eric Gordon is the True Villain here pump faking yes yes in s syr

We just did that [ __ ] like that’s Olympic stuff give us a gold medal like the thing is with eg that’s so so unfortunate is like we’ve seen this a couple times in um games recently with him um it seems like he’s he’s more willing to pass up a shot sometimes

Especially if shots aren’t falling for him early on in games but when it gets to a point like that you just got to trust in yourself that you can do that I can’t wait to go back and look at the film again because even on that just my

Memory that play I Believe Brad was shocked that he got it back of course he’s like boom boom bang that’s Game Boy oh [ __ ] you ain’t take it give it back like come on man what are you doing he he got to take that shot he got to take

This when it comes to Eric Gordon either you Splash or you trash and tonight he was trash all right so um and then of course can we talk about the very end well for real real quick I know we’re mad at Bradley b the jump madad I’m not mad at

Brad like it’s it’s a disappointing play okay disappointing it was it was the wrong decision whatever thing you want to put there he did win the jump B I’m throw that out there okay let’s talk about the very final s 6 seconds of this game that could have should have been

Seven but book gets the foul call then inbounds Katie gets the ball do you think there was a foul there on Katie too no no no no that was clean I thought that was a stupid ass go ahead I’m sorry no I was just going to say that was the

Right call I agree with you what was what was that play I mean why why are book and KD operating in the same exact spot because you give the Defenders both the opportunity to be there I I do not understand that final play and they had time because they sat there and waited

For the refs to take 20 minutes to figure out was it0 seven or0 6 on the clock so they should have had an inbounds play drawn up for that situation and I get it it’s not easy and Allen’s trying to inbound that ball there well the five seconds are running

Out but that just seemed like a horribly horribly designed play yeah it didn’t make sense I’mma Be Honest that play I Believe again I gotta go back and look at it but that play looked like it was a clear Play 4 KD and book had no part of

That play and he just floated out to the top they were in the same spot terrible play just a terrible play and again this is one of those things where in that situation um I’m I’m riding with the hot hand I’m riding with the hot hand the

Hot hand was Devin Booker in that spot and so I can live with forcing one to Devon and Devin shooting off one leg falling out of bounds from 40 feet we lose a game I can live with that but to not even get a [ __ ] shot off forcing

In the middle of of that that was just a bad play I I didn’t get what they were doing um the chat brings up an interesting point they say why not have bull in there too cutting why have B inbound in the ball well yeah I mean get

A better look too sh said LOL I wonder if bull could have blocked the shot well I mean that was ear you could have guarded him on the inbound guy tougher but but it could have been interesting having him flash to the hoop and the thought of gives you an opportunity to

Alyo ball there if you know because he’s going to be bigger than anybody that’s defending him out there so at the very least that could have been your safety valve on that play well it’s a threat too because you’ve seen the Suns do it before so you can’t cheat off or

Anything of that sort and and here’s what I here’s what I would have done I’d have put Bobo as the inbound instead of Grayson Allen I want Grayson Allen’s threat to shoot the ball Allen’s a threat to shoot the ball if Grayson Allen gets open you got to respect it so

That frees up book and KD you don’t have a 76 dude on Golden State so you got Bobo inbound and he’s got a clear path to the pass he can see over whoever’s defending him they put Gary Payton on on Grayson there well I get I get it if you

Have time to pass back right because in a lot of cases that the inbounder the most dangerous but you didn’t it’s point six you can’t get it and kick it back correct so that guy’s out of the play so it already it already you already eliminated Grayson I don’t yeah I don’t

Understand what that play is and maybe you go back and watch it and you can explain it to me because in real time it made zero sense to me so yeah and then you don’t you know another thing is you could see Grayson was struggling because

They had no time out so he looked at the first read wasn’t there second read wasn’t there that third read to KD I believe was desperation thinking I’m going to get a 5-second violation I think so so he’s like okay oh [ __ ] [ __ ]

Okay I got to throw it up and a guy like bo boo being able to see the court and being tall and everybody if he’s at his height if he just holding the ball here there’s no one that can contest so yeah I mean but again it’s uh Monday Morning

Quarterback I’m losing my voice because I’m pissed off um so I do want to have a larger conversation about um how teams lose right yeah so you’re not you’re super upset about the way the Suns lost this game I’m not super upset about the way the Suns lost this game I am more

Upset when we have games like we did against the Spurs earlier on in the season but where do you fall look I I’m not you I’m frustrated I’m not concerned I’m frustrated because talking about this one specific game in general we’re not talking about bigger picture I hate

I hate losses to the Spurs like that because it’s a team you shouldn’t lose to and we’ve talked about that I hated all the losses against teams you shouldn’t lose to now golden state has has kind of found their legs again they’re not as bad as their record shows

But what frustrates me is this was a game that didn’t look like you should be able to win you did not play well enough in your game and you had an opportunity to steal it and that’s how you make up for some of those losses like against

The Spurs and stuff is winning some of these games that maybe you’re not at your Peak but you go in and you steal it and you’re on the road like that that’s what frustrates me most about it I hate the Spurs lost more this frustrates me a

Lot though because you you should have been able to steal this one right so I think the reason why the the Spurs one upsets me most is because I mean let’s be honest it’s the Spurs you guys and they completely whooped us like completely whooped us whereas this one

It was in my like the Suns didn’t play the way that they needed to play sure the Suns should beat the Warriors we’ve seen it happened multiple times this season and just looking at these two teams yes the Suns absolutely should have won this game but I just didn’t

Feel like the suns were deserving of winning this game and the fact that they stayed in it though with how poorly they were playing early on was I don’t know it was just a little more I guess encouraging I suppose that like you’re playing like garbage but

You’re still in this game it is still a winnable game where when you fully give up and you allow a team like the Spurs to just completely kill you that hurts me more than this hurts me and I don’t know I’m with you ly I I do see because

This game was winnable and I am upset that they didn’t win it but because they at least showed some signs of life I don’t feel as bad yeah no listen I there’s a lot to be positive about with this game you didn’t play well you on the road golden state has been playing

Really well lately this is a this is a team that’s got Championship pedigree they’re they’re gonna make some noise if they get in the playoffs like they’re spur the G uh San Anon I mean San Warriors or The Warriors um the reason why I don’t lose my mind about like the

San Antonio loss um I think it’s about timing with me too like I think that if if we play the Spurs tomorrow and we lost the way we did to the Spurs tomorrow I would be [ __ ] furious but I think that that early in the season

But even that early in the season like we’re talking Sun Spurs y’all yeah no I get not I get it but I just feel like the reason why that doesn’t bother me because early in the season it was early we had injuries there’s a lot of stuff

Going on no excuses but it’s also a thing Lind that it’s like you understand the realness like you understand that even though you lose to the Spurs you know you’re better than the Spurs and this is a game where you’re like this is this is a good team this is

A team that you can run into I I just that’s what that’s where it is for me I think it’s it’s a matter of and I I also think because we talked about this pregame too you want to talk about timing timing of this game is terrible

Right you just had all the emotions of a trade deadline come and go you are let’s be real a good majority of all players on the court tonight probably a little bit checked out because they know they’ve got big Super Bowl plans I guarantee you half of these guys are

Already on a flight to Las Vegas right now for Super Bowl Shenanigans like yeah I think that’s another reason when you look at the timing side of things like it it wouldn’t have I told you pregame I wouldn’t be surprised if Sun’s lost this

Game can we play the flex R can I play the flex Flex R right now oh [ __ ] there’s some positives right you look at it uh only one guy on this entire or two guys excuse me on this entire team shot better than 50% Drew Eubanks one of one

Josh aogi three of three everybody else was 50% or sub 50% the only guy that was 50% was bull bull right so the fact that you only lost by one to Golden State in their home when they were six and three in their last nine uh is impressive in

And of itself because you had one of your worst shooting nights uh of the year for across the board right guess what happened tonight they won the damn fourth quarter they won 3029 uh so that’s it that’s at least something in the positive category and Devin Booker freaking carried him in

The second half in particular in the fourth right uh so there were some things that I went okay I feel all right about what happened down the stretch it just felt like you could have snuck away with it to and that’s that’s the thing that that can be frustrating plus it’s

Frustrating because you got Draymond Green acting the way he was acting he was acting a fool most of the night and another another prime example it being kind of a little bit emotional within this game I think there were times where where nerk was even leaning into the

Emotions of the drama between him and Draymond both teams kind of leaned into that at certain points as well but then you also get step with that giant celebration which makes you just yeah I mean the whole the whole thing was just like really you fought all the way back

You did this you made the defensive play the Kevin Durant block right was was so great and then you wind up with the Brad Beal having to go into a jump ball and winning the freaking jump ball like all these things you go finally these these things at the end of

A fourth are going your way uh and it feels like you get the momentum and then you get The Knockout Blow from Steph and I think that’s that’s why it bothers you so much because you saw all the opportunities it felt good it felt like maybe we’re even destined for book to

Hit a a a winner at Point seven because of the way he was playing and instead it it ends with that that dud of a of a final inbound too it’s all those factors that make it so frustrating yeah and I wish I can go I’m obviously I’m gonna go

Back and watch the tape but the Brad Beal play where Katie gets the block and they caught a jump ball um I I I I thought watching it live Brad got fouled that that wasn’t a jump ball I thought he was over his back I thought he was on shoulder and I thought

That was a foul and why is that important because if you call that foul there we still got the ball back on the jump ball so that’s going to be the argum people gonna say oh well we still got the jump ball but you got the jump

Ball and the shot clock was short because of the time of possession on a jump ball that’s one so that’s two seconds that we lost and that would have been the foul to give and so now the Devin Booker played potentially at the end as free throws instead of a nonf

Free throw so that one bothers me a little bit I thought Brad clearly had the ball I thought he spun I thought he came over his shoulder to try to get the the his ball in hand they caught a quick jump ball that pissed me off a little

Bit again it’s it’s a it’s a domino effect the Suns had this game won this game should have been over I thought the sun should have won but let me ask both of y’all this to to turn this into a positive thing um the way we were

Playing in the first quarter wasn’t good the way we were playing in the first half it just felt weird the whole game felt like it was the suns were playing chaotic chaotic there was no yeah there was no flow there was no calm it was just very like let’s throw [ __ ] at the

Wall and see what stes oh yeah if they had won this this is a total Bushi it’s a full Bushi like it was not a pretty game no they did not look like themselves the you know there were all sorts of of things that that went wrong

That but that’s why when you look up and they’re up 112 110 and they get it get those defensive stop to lead to that you’re like oh we got this game yeah look at that we got this game despite all that well crap okay and then Steph is Steph I you take nothing

Away from Steph he did exactly what Steph has always done if if I’d have told y’all before the game or maybe after watching the first half I’d have told both of y’all the suns are going to be up to with two seconds left in the

Game and Steph is going to get a 40 foot three would you have taken it just be honest just keep it keep it real and I know open no no no no no I mean again before the game we thought it was potentially a bad game I would have told

You you lose if you give me that scenario I tell you you lose if Steph takes the game win step’s taking that game winner I don’t care where you say it’s on the court I say you’re in trouble at that point so realistically speaking when the suns were down in this

Game and in the first quarter how chaotic it was if ID have told both of y’all right now I got a magic fast forward button oh you you said you’re saying in the fourth not be or in the first not before the game you’re telling me once I see Howa saw how

Cha and then I could fast forward and say you know what guys here’s the scenario we’re g to be up two they’re gonna have the ball with two seconds and Steph is gonna hit a turnaround he’s going to shoot a turn turnaround 40 foot three-pointer uh I don’t know what the

Results are going to be but that’s what’s going to happen will y’all take I’d say definitely [ __ ] taking the Warriors win the game 100% but what I would have they’re in Golden State it’s Steph Curry okay but I think your point is they were playing so

Disjointed would I would I say you know what for poorly as they’re playing yeah I I’ll be okay with that situation because they they came back that’s my point sure but if you still tell me it’s Steph shooted for 40 30 40 I go well they’re losing yeah

Yeah no no no I just finished saying step can shoot from the parking lot so it’s a question that you know obviously you’re probably analyz and saying [ __ ] we might lose if his staff but the point I’m trying to make is I I think you nailed it um this game I didn’t feel

Like at any point in this game the suns were GNA win and the fact that they were up two with 2.8 I go home positive I go home saying okay you know what two good teams played today they they they played I mean both teams just went at it very physical game

And so uh yeah I mean you live with it I’m pissed off about it but what I what really bothers me is Frank vogle is supposed to be a defensive Savon you have a timeout that the Warriors have taken before that play and your defense isn’t of the right mindset or set you

Don’t have your best defensive players on the floor what’s the thought process in that that’s what I wonder the most is what’s the thought process and what did you say to your guys did Bradley Beal gamble after Frank said don’t stay in front of Steph and don’t leave that was

That a brad decision I why why was it set up that way are decision I agree I’m sure I’m sure Frank wasn’t saying go for any steel at all cost but but what why are you not having a a a better defensive strategy in that situation why

Why is there only one guy chasing Steph because i’ much rather Steph pass out of that and somebody else gets an open look and I can live with that a little bit better than Steph getting the shot like those those are the questions that that

I leave with in this game and go okay so you didn’t win this one is this a Learning lesson do you shift and can you win in that situation next time because you are going to see this kind of situation the playoffs you are going to

Have games where these guys shoot sub 50 right and you’re fighting and scratching and clawing to get a win and you got to get those wins in the playoffs otherwise you’re going to lose series when you don’t win the 5050 games and that’s what I hope you learn from this game yeah I

Think they yeah this is a learning experience and again I’m emotional because I hate the way they [ __ ] lost the game but as no way shape or form am I saying I’m worried about the Suns I think the Suns played a a very good game considering how bad they played like I

Know that’s a weird thing to say but the fact that they played so bad in my opinion and we’re up with two with 2.8 I I live with it I just hate how it ended but can I ask you what did I tell you in the inbound before the inbound I told

You something I said you give up a two yeah don’t give up a three you don’t give up a three yeah and so my thinking is like yours I put two on staff I’m putting two on staff I’m keeping everybody outside the three line and if

You get a layup we going overtime but I am in no way shape or form doing what we did and and that’s what we did so learn from it all right let’s put a pin in this all right let’s because I’m chilling y’all a little upset I’m

Chilling over here um but we will dive back into it especially with some super chats here because you guys have a lot of great questions uh but before we get into that I just want to remind you guys that you should definitely not leave $200 on the table from our friends over

End obviously they are going to him let someone else win the game yeah we yeah same same Trevor yeah I’m fine with anybody else on that Court shooting a shot yes and if they hit so be it black Mason shares the same sentiments hash anybody but Steph in soft lazy

Crosscourt passes yes yes yeah Jacob sent us one and they said uh points six seconds left why not bring Bowl in plus throw it at The Rim yeah at least it’s having him an as an option out there yeah yeah Rome sent us one and said literally the only

Highlight was Gerald tweeting quote my brother in Christ when he talked about Draymond laugh think the Emoji that will be one of my um favorite little whatevers you want to call it my brother in Christ I think it started with like Shane and and Sean I first brought it

Into pH andx yeah and it just has grown into this whole thing um all right Michael sent us one thank you Michael they said these sons are a title Contender period end of story we still have too many mental mistakes every team in the NBA struggles to get that win

Tonight suns are better than that Squad see I I’m this is kind of like how I’m feeling like I I’m still high on the Suns of I do think there were a lot of mental mistakes made in tonight’s game I think they played poorly at times but I

Know the suns are better than the Warriors I agree but when you look at the west standings I get it I get it it is so tight all right yeah you shouldn’t have lost to the Spurs twice I I agree but that’s the problem you now have to

Make up for those kind of losses and like the difference what’s gonna be don’t lose in the first place to the best you a got to make up for nothing I I agree but the difference those those L’s for better teams sorry now I’m just being and Petty uh

The but honestly the difference between four and seven is going to be so slim in this Western Conference that you don’t want to look back at a night like tonight and go well [ __ ] we’re in the playin because we’re not gonna be I know but I’m saying there’s gonna be some

Team that’s very good that you know I would not be surprised if two games separate a team that has home court in the west and a team that’s in the playin yeah that’s how tight this might be in the end and that’s that’s why little things matter yeah the the reason why

Like I’m I’m really not tripping on the standings in the west the West is tough man like if you’re the best team in the league you gonna have to be good team so however it plays out whoever you play in the first round I I’ve never been someone that’s worried about ducking a

Good team in the first round I like the best give me give me the toughest match up in the first round get it out the way if you couldn’t beat them in the first round you weren’t going to beat them in the Western Conference Finals so you

Didn’t belong there so you know um I I don’t I don’t really trip on that but I see what you’re saying uh this is just you know again I’m not worried about the team this feels like one of those situations where it’s like I I don’t you

Know what this feels like it feels like I went outside and I found 20 bucks and then on the way to the parking lot I lost it and it’s like it’s like [ __ ] I just found 20 bucks I should be happy and then before

I got to my car I [ __ ] lost it um that’s what it was a game was in your hand and you walk into the [ __ ] car and you lost it and that’s why I’m mad that’s it I mean is I have something for you 20 bucks Alfredo sent us 20 bucks

Twice sent us 20 bucks let’s go twice they said here’s a 20 because I’m annoyed and I live near the Bay Area hate the Warriors and their fans LOL by the way the circle G in my city sucks not enough alcohol to help me with this loss just kidding thank for the the

Therapy you drink all the alcohol it’s a Circle C Ando they got 20 bucks for you too said here’s another 20 I’m in a giving mood since the suns were also in a giving mood they gave this one away sorry trying to be funny laugh to keep

Me from getting upset I’m just concerned about your liver you drank all the alcohol at the Circle K come on out here to our Circle Caves they’re fun I wish we would still have the one um from Bill and Ted’s most excellent of vure but you know can always have nice things there’s

Something a foot at the Circle literally one of my favorite lines ever all right couple more Super chats here uh Rome sent us one Rome said you just have to chalk it up to Steph being Steph and keep it pushing we can keep moping and

Frowning all we want but we just got to keep it moving yeah they sent us one more thanks Rome and they said it’s so simple Miss shots equals losses this is this is flex’s It’s a make or Miss League dog and when you miss you’re going to lose exactly what he just said

Oh my goodness gracious uh Trevor sent us one about Eric Gordon and they said EG all talk when he said he needs more shots maybe he was talking about like alcoholic shots honestly but that was time too and I think I think they had come out too Gerald had brought

Something up around that time that was sort of like it had been somewhat blown out of context or taken out of context wouldn’t you actually heard the sound heard the sound bite so I’m gonna give him a pass on that one um all right uh

Hugh Jazz sent us one nice said why do the Suns I thought it was funny I like that um why do the Suns have still have zero offensive sets no they have offensive sets they do they they have all listen actually Kevin’s been doing a

Good job like if you watch the game and you watch the tape Kevin’s really good he he runs one of the better offenses in the league I’m convinced after having conversations with people around the team I was hard on Kevin earlier and I took a step back and I said okay I’m

Gonna listen to what you’re saying I’m gonna actually pay attention to some things um I don’t think Kevin’s the problem um it’s just it it looks that way sometimes but uh at the end of the day they D Kevin’s doing a good job tonight tonight he should have reached

Deeper into his back for that final I’m just GNA say that yeah no and and tonight I kept saying it we were talking about it all everyone here we were talking about in the first half it felt like the Suns didn’t get clean looks the whole night it was just a weird damn

Game but I don’t know if that’s on Kevin young I mean I saw a bunch of guys taking sporadic threes like like hunting fouls um just not letting the offense develop not letting the actions come into play so they felt a little discombobulated tonight but um I’m not

I’m not mad at Kevin I mean was Kevin good against the Jazz I’m talking about Kevin young was his offense good against the Jazz sure look an offense is only as good as the guys out there operating it and how well they’re shooting right and so on a night like tonight anybody’s

Offense is going to look bad when you shoot like 44% is that what we ended it was around there I don’t have the exact right up right now but yeah it was it was around there and anybody’s offense is going to look bad when your guys

Shoot that excuse me it was 45 not 44 like that that’s just it’s not doesn’t look pretty when that happens especially when you don’t execute there in a final play I mean so and go to States been playing good man can I can I lighten up

So I figured I’d give you a break on the second one too all right guys um you want to name our shiny star you want to talk about the nerk and Draymond beef let’s name Shin shiny star we should talk about him because he was really

Good to big bright shiny star goes to Devin Booker he looks mad too he should great picture 32 points six assists four rebounds Devin Booker is our shiny star obviously in the fourth quarter I feel like is when things really kind of took off the most for a book didn’t he had at

One point he had 12 in the in the fourth I don’t know what he I think he finished with 12 in the in the fourth right yeah he had 23 and a half I as well so look he what I liked was he was aggressive he wasn’t settling for jumpers hoping that

That was gonna turn things around he took it hard to the hoop uh he had some unbelievable plays in that fourth and it came up just short in the end I mean I really what I had really hoped was with that 7 seconds he was going to get the

Opportunity to get the ball off like that was that was the one thing that could have capped off a pretty uh fantastic second half for Devin Booker unfortunately that didn’t happen uh other guys didn’t step up as much but you know there’s not much Devon Booker

Could have done more than he did in particular in that fourth he yeah I mean that’s what you want your stars to do you want your stars to come out in the fourth quarter and give you a chance and he did more than that he he he did more

Than give us a chance there were a couple times late in the fourth suns were down five down six and you thought okay this is getting out of hand and every time they responded so um Devin did a good job of keeping us in the game

And giving us a lead and and we couldn’t finish it and so it’s one of those games and again this isn’t singling out Devin Booker you know uh on Tuesday it’ll be Kevin Durant or Brad bill you know these guys are interchangeable tonight it was Devin’s night and we’ll see what the

Rest uh how the rest unfolds but yeah I thought book did the best he can to try to get us to stub tonight and Steph decided to do something else I mean the the first half was trash for for a lot of guys it was trash for everyone I

Don’t think anybody is um no and and de Deon did his best in the second half but when I mean when you play that poorly in the first half I mean they weren’t down big but it just it never got rhythm you’re trying to play catchup you’re

Trying to find that in a second half Gerardo sent us a Super Chat and they asked was that a an away from the play foul on Booker it was that’s a great Point somebody else had mentioned it too I believe Emma do you see any more about that because somebody said shouldn’t

Have been a freak out that final PL no it no because they called it they did not call that first grab I think that’s the misconception if they called that yes but they don’t call the foul until until he’s on his back and it gets tapped because that’s the only way 0.1

Can come off that clock that’s why it wasn’t even though it should have been if they called the initial contact as the foul but they didn’t they waited until he got pulled two more times and they got hit from behind on yes so I I was thinking that same thing that’s a

Great question I believe it was away from the ball foul from the very beginning when he’s trying to curl off that first curl he was held and fouled and then to avoid missing the off ball they deemed that he got fouled after the touch which was total BS to me but yeah

That’s that’s the way it goes the most surprising part of this and this is I’m not trying to be mean to Doris spark but usually she’s not on her side at all she’s not a Suns fan it feels like tonight she was on her side I’m like listen if joris Burke is saying

You guys are incorrect with your decision making there well that says something I think in my opinion I don’t know but a little bit of love to Devin Booker um there I know a lot of people don’t want to talk about the nerk Draymond thing but I do and there are a

Couple super chats about it and Lind like and I have the mic facts you’re not wrong uh Kev sent us one and said the two freebies we gave clown green and the fourth o with a clown emoji um is there any more on the bottom that are about Draymond

Green um yeah KT sent us one and said I don’t like Draymond did you all see him taunting KD as if he won the game I wish players like ronard test were in the league so Dwayne Ranken was talking with Yousef nurkic after the game tonight and

Nerk said quote it sad he didn’t learn anything just a matter of time he’s going to hit somebody else again take back everything I said he don’t deserve a chance good Antics trying to hit people look they were trying to bait him too it was pretty obvious that you know

Maybe maybe not on purpose but nerk uh they all were were going at him and that’s not excuse Draymond has shown that giving somebody 11 games off doesn’t straighten out their mentals uh but you know like this was this is a weird energy game in a lot of ways uh

And and Draymond is so damn annoying so damn annoying and yeah they had blown defensive coverages uh in that fourth when I came to him and that that’s what that bugs me more than Steph hitting hitting the gamewinner right it was Draymond getting any glory in that game after the you

Know Sideshow Antics he pulled early well well that’s why did you see all that stuff you’re saying is why I’m pissed off like so it’s a it’s it’s all that stuff ly like it again it’s not my it’s not me forecasting this team as a problem it’s just when you add all that

Stuff up the Steph celebration the Draymond acting like a damn fool all night and it being surprised that the officials let it kind of play out the way that it did that I mean on both sides because n did the twoo small thing and smack the floor and then Draymond

Did it as well Draymond did get a tech for arguing about um a Miss call that or at least what he thinks is a Miss call anyway but I was kind of surprised and I’m not mad at it either a little bit that they let it play out it is a little

Concerning when it involves a guy like Draymond who you’ve seen escalates things throughout games um but I I like some of the Antics I like talk the the smack talk yeah they they let it play out the only thing I have a problem with and I didn’t I didn’t mind it only thing

I have a problem with it uh espo is there’s no consistency there’s no consistency so you you you know and I’m blaming nerk here too like I like when nerk did the two small bang the ground right but on most nights that’s a technical and then what Draymond did is

A technical so you don’t let it go tonight but then tomorrow Devin said or you know next game Devon says hey you missed a c tag like so there’s got to be consistency across the board you can’t just let things like that go that’s the human element though you’re never going

To get that consistency because some are completely thin skinned others let the game kind of go this way and tonight was called more like it felt like a playoff game than than a regular season game because usually that [ __ ] gets let go in a playoff uh game you know because

Inevitably when You Face guys that many times in a row that kind of stuff boils over it was a very weirdly called game because that’s usually not how regular season games are called but then again you you get a different reing crew and it changes night toight because some

People can’t handle somebody simply going that was the wrong call and they get teed up other guys can handle all these Shenanigans and still try to keep the game under control without getting Tech happy so you know it’s just I like I like the the trash talk right yeah

Mind I think Draymond gets a little more physical to is the exception he’s not the rule when it comes to kind of enjoying and leaning into the trash talk and the physicality and the toughness because Draymond has shown us time and time again that he takes it too far

Let’s be honest though this Sun’s team you know as the anti-hero basketball Club is going to take this stuff like this is this is inevitable they got it with the with the nuggets the Clippers they got it with too right you know there’s there’s all these clubs you know

What Pat bevs in Minnesota now you’re gonna have it with Minnesota right isn’t that where P Bev W or where P Bev W up with Dame and with the bu never mind so if you face the Bucks you you’ll meet him he was in Minnesota before but there

There will be teams throughout this playoff run that you’re going to have this kind of energy against because these guys I mean d Dallas you’re gonna have it like this this is just a team that pulls that out of other other teams so you gotta get you’re gonna have to

Get used to other teams Antics because you’re going to want to faing it in a seven game series in the playoffs so I’d rather go through these the these gauntlets like this over the next two months and and thicken that skin get prepared for it and go out and just kick

Somebody’s ass in April because you’ve you’ve gone through it now you know it’s a play I hate that I again I watched the tape but uh I thought that was a clear flop on Draymond it was when when when he they called the offensive foul on ner

100% when we play Dallas they called a flop like that against who against was it ner or k who who I don’t remember you remember they called a flop and it was a very similar play and then Draymond I I felt like he got up and

Basically like was like yeah I got y’all like you know it’s I’m like dog that’s a flop but both of them were doing it tonight though he gets yo Draymond the one thing I’ll say this too um Draymond gets away with so much [ __ ] in regards

To to his ability to yell at the ref the one thing you can always rely on with a Draymond game is him yelling and you can clearly hear it on the broadcast and one ah right or or he slaps his hands he points at a ref and they don’t ever

[ __ ] call it and I’ve seen so many technicals on guys that are like so weak I wonder what who does Draymond have dirt on that he gets away with everything man I don’t know man or is it just because he’s been doing it for so

Long they just to be fair he hasn’t he did get suspended 11 games this year yeah now but this is still something that’s been going on even Beyond this but but sometimes when and you get suspended 11 games and you still get to do it there there’s been guys like this

Throughout I mean Rodman was kind of irritant you know Vernon maxw there’s there’s a million guys who have been this guy in the NBA over the years that was a different time yeah you know what you know what I I would like one night I swear I would

Like one night if the if you want Draymond to change you want all this St [ __ ] to stop yeah I mean I would love one night if Draymond comes out and does that and yelling at the ref Tech bro do it again Tech 30 seconds you out like

That no that’ll that’ll wake his ass up that’ll be like bro you can’t yell at the refs it won’t damn game how many how many times has Draymond been thrown out isn’t it seven times this year eight times like Draymond ain’t getting it from getting multiple technical FS

Draymond ain’t getting it unless you suspend him for a full season and even then I don’t know he changes this is just this dude and either they accept his Antics or they don’t and it’s that simple it’s it’s either it’s they can get away with it as part of this game or

You can’t and the pat bevel were all there’s so many guys like this and if you were on our team we’d be going oh well that’s our guy like how dare you do that like there’s there’s just irritance and and I hate it and he takes it to

Another level with with the physicality at times but this has just been a thing in the NBA since I can remember in the in the 80s you know way back then even KT sent us a Super Chat and said I would like to see Draymond Ron Ares Stephen

Jackson Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman in an octagon lol there’s a bunch of them right there all in one all in one super chat right there 100 % all right a few more Super chats here in just a bit but I want to tell you guys about our

The solo ad transition triple be said ESO deserves flowers tonight keevin said ELO that adre was the best one R Pito like I like kudos to us just thriving here on a Saturday night okay last thing I want to talk about from the Suns game uh Royce O’Neal

Made his debut initial thoughts from him tonight uh green you know just got here he just got here um I thought about what we talked about earlier about why he wasn’t in the game well you know he doesn’t know the defensive rot he doesn’t know the offensive Playbook I

Mean there’s a lot of stuff to to digest you got to get a guy a little bit of time so I thought it was fine I liked his physicality there was some plays that you can tell how he’s going to fit in later on down the line um and then

There was some plays where you can tell he was absolutely lost and didn’t know what the [ __ ] at at all had no idea what he was doing which is not suris no yeah he just got here yesterday yeah so uh I was cool Roy you know uh I I like I like

How he’s going to fit in I do I I can can already see how he fits in once he gets you know a couple weeks under his belt and and learns The Playbook on both ends yeah he did have the Miss layup which yeah that Hur was frust that could

Have won a game right I mean put a lot of different uh a lot of different but you said you turn to me uh and go uh watch him on offense he’s literally just going to stand in the corner he doesn’t know what’s going on off defensively and you watch him and he

Literally just standing there going you guys are rotating all right I’ll just be here if you need me not no not at all because he doesn’t he’s been here for what all of 36 hours he’s not GNA know the play so like so I think that’s fine

And and I think that that’ll uh that’ll correct itself uh he hit a hit a three he played some good defense that I mean it was a good first uh first outou he got a steal ATA block too y’all yeah he was fine man the guy just got here like

Yeah yeah all right couple more Super chats here we’ve got one from Trevor Trevor said Katie’s turnovers need work and Beal needs to step up Katie had six turnovers he had almost half the turnovers tonight they had 14 he had six of them and one very timely one in that

That that’s frustrating but it’s also not a surprise KD has struggled with that and I think it’s or something you accept because he has so many other uh great qualities to him you know if he had hit that game winner nobody’s talking about uh any of his any of his

Turnovers or anything we’re all saying how great that was an end to a game and that Devon Devon was the setup man and and Katie was The Closer on the final shot but you know it didn’t play out that way so six turnovers out of 14 yeah

Yeah real real quick guys try to try to give me the uh the the last shot that the Suns hit to go up 112 110 who hit that shot um here here here I’m go ahead Lind I’m not trying to I’m looking at your play I believe I believe it was Brad B

Off a book right the the the shot that rimmed off the uh it was Brad Brad misses Brad no it was de Booker 18 Devin Booker makes an 18 foot two-point shot to go up 112 110 with 35 right 110 10 correct pull up 15 P pull

Up jumper 110 108 with a minute left that was a huge shot that was a huge shot in the game and so um I I I listen the last play hurts but listen I thought Brad was fine you KD the turnovers it happen um I’m not beating these guys up

I’m hearing I’m seeing a lot of people taking a lot of shots at Brad I I don’t think all them sick get these bums off my team yeah I’m not feeling that not Kidd uh shaan sent us one and they said Katie shot 38% if he had normal 45% plus

Shooting game would not have been as close Beal is not used to playing against Curry the steel attempt doesn’t bother me as much as turnovers the turnovers have to stop well they only had 14 tonight it wasn’t an awful night the Warriors had 14 uh they did again H

Give up seven more shots to the Warriors than than they had and that is once again a recipe for disaster when you give up seven more shots just the math of it usually suggests that the other team will win or have the advantage when you give up that many more shots then

You take so yeah facts Lucas sent us a Super Chat and said guys the sky is falling because of Step laughing face emoji yeah his shots are falling though that’s for sure um Rome sent us one said can we stop with the vocal firing nonsense the players didn’t play well

And that’s it yeah I agree Rome worry about firing him in the offseason yeah if you’re mad at Frank vogle just you’re gonna have to deal with it because I think if the suns were ever going to make a move as far as coaching staff goes this season it would have happened

Around Christmas I think at this point in time no it is what it is there’s definitely no changes being made in my opinion until offseason if they decide to make one I’m not saying they do or they will or should I’m not saying any of that I’m just letting you know what I

Think I mean before coming into this game uh uh since Christmas no team has more wins in the NBA than Frank vogle and the Phoenix Sun so you know it’s it’s it’s one of those things where you can have selective Amnesia or you can have a recency thing but I mean they’re

17 and seven since Christmas they’re 10 games above 500 and Frank coaches the team so Frank has been doing good and you know this is this is where I get frustrated um in General because it’s so crazy how the things shift if Steph misses that shot lens what aut win unbelievable totally

Different over again that’s why it doesn’t yes that’s why this game doesn’t bother me because if the Suns win we talk about how they stunk it up in the first half and were able to still turn it on a little bit to gut out a win there you go where you can’t say

Anything like that Spurs losses you just pounding on the Spurs boy you’re right list I will literally die on that Hill Lind you are absolutely unequivocally right and you are changing my mood good slowly but surely you’re getting me to realize you’re coming around shobon gets

It too they said I agree Lindsay it’s a learning loss better fourth quarter too yeah I just need a bucket of chicken to cheer me up there you go we’ll get you a bucket of chicken it’s too late all the chicken places are closed it’s 10 no it’s a Saturday there’s some open

Somewhere someone’s open Kane’s probably TR sent us a Super Chat and they said Sons need a backup center Eubanks is good for certain matchups but often looks fatigue has horrible timing on rebounds and takes forever on screens come home Robin we’ll let you fight all the mascots you want we miss you my

Friend bro for The Vibes please did you you guys saw the picture or the video of him reading a book at the buck game on Thursday night he’s he’s Courtside reading a book after he got traded and then I want to be best friends with him

Also if you guys missed it bismack bomo signed with OKC today too so that is now off the table as well um IIA yeah are we’re gonna go with IIA I think okay sent us a Super Chat thank you and they said we have a bird’s eye view of the floor they don’t

Um I mean listen you’re not wrong with these type of things sometimes you do get a different perspective when you’re watching it on TV then the guys might have even from like an inbounding perspective or the officials which is why they go to replay so I what you’re

Saying I get it Michael sent us another one and they said here’s $20 please get espo some new pounds why Michael listen I have three okay I have three pairs these I don’t wear the same one every night uh they are washed like you know I

If we think the luck has run out I’m happy to wear jeans or some other pair of pants because I’m you know I do look like the Joker on set like this not Nicola yic the other one uh you know but we had to write it out again you we had

Another streak going in the pants yeah I like the pants leave USB alone we can put a poll in the chat for our next game to see if we want the pants to stay or go for not all of us can wear white sweatpants I can’t pull that off I

Can’t H H sent us one and they said a top four seed is already highly unlikely now I don’t know if I buy that yet man everything in this league can change so quick can change overnight Suns can win five straight and they right back in it

What they they’re four and a half games out of the and out of four but but in reality okay you’re four and a half out of the four seed you’re four out of the number or or five out of the number one seed like so this is going to change a

Lot you could see Minnesota who’s sitting at one right now wind up in six by the end of this you can see Golden State who’s in 10 now being out of the play in up either out of the play in all together or up uh into the top six the

West is too bunch to guess anything that’s gon to happen in the next I’m sorry what game was this tonight it was the 550 third tonight 53rd yeah okay so what do we got 20 you’re asking me to do math 53 oh 53 29 29 yeah that’s a lot of B this that’s

A lot of basketball yeah I’m not nobody’s nobody’s got anything solidified in this Western Conference by far all right I think that’s it do we have one more one more Leo sent us one and said Sons please sign Danilo galinari I don’t know about that are we

All upset with this because dein Booker as a kid has a picture with is that is that what this is like because everybody keeps bringing it up and denillo is all right but he’s an offensive guy and I still feel like you need some defensive minded guys or or somebody that can uh

Can maybe run a backup point guard position I don’t I don’t need a a million more Shooters on this team I need I need guys that can can help on the defensive end PR yeah no I’m not feeling uh danelo galinari is I just don’t see a role for

Him he’s just not we we need we need defense we need a little a backup point guard we probably need a little bit dep in the front Court dep in the front Court yeah I like denillo but I’m not I’m not trying not about that life yeah

All right Joey sent us one and they said it’s one loss everyone chill F out in the chat I love it because right under it poison ivy says we’re first round exit again we ain’t winning anything this team is garbage nerkish is trash and be S our

Money yeah but if Steph miss that shot we’d be great you know I actually am okay sometimes with y’all venting and with you venting in the chat I’m totally fine with with you guys being mean to each other in the chat or mean to us I’m

Not fine with but vent in the chat all you need to to get the emotions and feels out prong 123 if you ever utter one of the mori’s name again I will personally walk over the mac and ban you myself the morai will never be in

Phoenix again all right oh no I don’t want foe in this town ever again spam me over everything as family over everything uh Eric said where’s the Super Bowl meme it’s our last day last day for the Super Bowl Super Bowl week honestly it’s been such a great

Week celebrating bu bow and the Super Bowl this is what I will ask you guys to close out the show if bullbull was playing football what position would he play you know what he doesn’t have a lot of speed but I would put him at wide receiver because that a guy that tall

With arms that long you basically could just throw that bad boy up and no corner is going to be able to stop that I I don’t know if I here’s the thing ESO if you pull bbo at wide receiver you’re right he could catch a ball he could

Also die well let’s be you put him on a football field at all and you’re risky let’s just pretend in this hypothetical that’s not an option I mean he weighs 125 pound soaking wet right one hit’s taking him out yeah I mean I I’m be honest I’m I’m putting my man boo to

Punt and get off the field yeah I want him to be the punter I don’t know or the kicker with either one I don’t care I just feel like tall ass bu bow kicking a football would just bring me a certain amount of joy that I don’t think I can

Get anywhere else I agree with you Lyn bu Bowl on a football field is like an uncooked piece of spaghetti that shit’s gonna snap the second you bend it it all all right and that’s the end of our Super Bowl coverage thank you b b for being part of

  1. Suns need to be better in clutch games especially against championship teams if they want to win the championship. The whole world knows who is Steph. You don’t make him make the last shot from the three pointer. This game showed me the suns don’t have the championship mentality. The west is to tough, you can’t loose games like this. Stupidity in the last plays.

  2. Not a Suns fan. But I regularly watch the show because you guys do it better than everyone else. Top-notch quality in every way: audio, video, comedy, memes, spontaneity. This is the best coverage of any NBA team, and it´s not even close. Bravo!

  3. Durant could have 2-3 more rings if he stayed playing with Curry. But his ego wouldn’t allow it. Now he might not win a title again.

  4. Vogel’s rotations were atrocious tonight. Royce was playing amazing defense in the first half and didn’t play a second in the 4th. 80% of EG’s minutes should’ve went to Royce. and Okogie needed more time, too. Smh

  5. Beal just can't go for the steal there, that was game. This is what NBA games come down to, final moments you need good decision making. I don't feel like the Sun run very many plays, I feel like our big 3 go 1 on 1 way too much. Run some F'n plays already.

  6. Our defense was so loose in the first half and we stopped moving the ball in the 2nd half. Frank Vogel better do better at his rotation, the only thing he adjusted was the small lineup at the end I hated it

  7. Legit question? Why not put Bol in on that last possession to at least check the person in bounding the ball? Not guaranteed but at least makes the play more difficult

  8. There's tons of stupid shit like this that past and current Suns players have given up. Swear this team is cursed. Especially in important games. Not boxing out, gambling for steals at the worst times, helping out on drives late and up by 2, giving up a 3. Losing players on defense. Players become dumb when they put the Suns uniform on.

  9. I agree bad decision on Beal. Not completely his fault but definitely could’ve won this game. Beal is still a dawg we on from this game and put ourselves in great playoff positioning

  10. We have a player in there who has in the past passed up open shot and lost a game and couldn't secure a rebound and lost another game and he does it again. Then we gamble with seconds lefts while we are up against a non brainer greatest shooter ever. You have the tallest player on your roster and u don't put him under the basket to tip it in on the final play. Then you have the biggest guy who you keep feeding and he can't even finish over smaller guys, making it annoying as he just looks at his hands afterwards for answers. And we take too many tough shots instead of moving the ball around to find someone open for a better shot with all the offense we have on the floor. You continue passing it instead of attacking to the player who is getting pushed around out of possession and known damn well he is not getting calls that night. Get it together cause if you want to go further in the tight West you need victories in a game like this.

  11. Drew Eubanks can't guard no one again 16 minutes only 4 points he slow on defense? Suns bench got out scored ones again

  12. Sorry suns fans but Gordon/beal s a F rubbish, worthless . beal should come of the bench. i mean his doin nothing to help his team, bad pass, cant dribble, no defense. u guys needs another big body in starting line that plays defense. u guys should go for pj tucker and blake g. min contract

  13. Just in case you didn't know Stephen.Curry makes those tough shoots all the time. It's what he has been doing his whole NBA career. Like he said its muscle memory.

  14. On The Flipside I Think Royce O'Neal Looked Really Good Tonight And Will Turn Out Being Our Missing Piece💯💪

  15. Read the rule be foulded before ball is in bounded it was so clear booker was foulded before the ball was touched, fixed refs show they was fixing the game

  16. As a Warriors and Suns fan (born in the Valley, raised in the Bay Area) this game was the best outcome for me selfishly lol
    A one point home win in regulation with zero injuries and suspensions on both sides. This kinda made my night (was having a crappy day at work during and before that), definitely helped me get a little bit over watching this terrible Super Bowl tomorrow in my Raiders stadium 🏟

  17. How many games will Gordon cost us before we decide to not play him in closing minutes. This is the second game he passed up an open shot leading to a loss. In the Pacers game he was standing around instead of rebounding or boxing out leading to the opponent getting the rebound and winning it. Three games we have lost cause of his brain fart. Not even counting the games he was so cold but kept shooting regardless of if the hot hand was open leading to another few losses. At this point I would take JO playing hustle over his I show up once a week performance.

  18. The way these guys are talking about Beal “gambling” is making me lose brain cells. He had a decent play on the ball on a dangerous inbound pass. He gets that steal and the game is over. With how quickly Steph gets his shot up, fouling him in that situation would be a much bigger gamble than going for that steal. I know ESPO don’t know ball but Flex, I’m disappointed with these takes brotha I expect better from you my man

  19. Great point on Brad beal rebound at the end of the game the refs didn’t call the foul and instead called a jump ball
    I thought Beal got fouled in that play

  20. Bradley Beal is not a winning player. I'm so glad he's on the suns. Fits right in with Booker and Durant. 3 The Charmin Way.

  21. Bro this game isn’t worth yelling about, that was a great shot by Steph, I rather us lose by a deep three, than a blow out, we had a good defensive game, Royce defense helped a lot, they should have played Royce more than Gordon, but the Kings game they’ll play him more, it’s okay plus we still up on the warriors series, 3-1 , we are still 5th seed, we are fine, it’s not worth yelling about.

  22. Vogel is really not a good coach. No wonder lakers fired him. It's like he keep repeating mistakes after mistakes…. he is just
    not good… it's a FACT.

  23. Why not call a timeout on that last possession we had ? Why not had Okogie or Royce all over curry that last play? Make it make sense.. this a game we shouldn’t have lost .

  24. Dan Gallinari is a passer and elite passer and a rebounder and he can shoot 3s too! We need floor generals at the 4 ! Drew Eubanks can be the defending 4 and Gallinari can be the shooter and passer at the 4 or stretch 5 when KD and Nurk is out! Then get Devon Wright or Seth Curry back up point, so Suns get Gallinari please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  25. We need a Howard , Beverley , Tucker , type of player for Draymond he be getting in nurk head

  26. Why dont vogel ever think to double draymond sets that screen if kd leaves draymond n go to steph with beal now he forces a crazy pass that would have run the clock or he just throws the ball towards rim but they leave it 1on1 n beal gambles

  27. Warriors were intentional with where they were throwing that in bound pass to give Steph a chance to have a clean look to win the game

  28. these guys are the ultimate monday morning QB's just like he said himself. Draymond turned Nurkic into a useless mess, and then Steph buried yall. end of story

  29. Not sure what these guys are talking about. The pass was well with range for Beal to steal. Anybody could have gone for the interception in that moment.

  30. These shows have gotten repetitive. After every loss it’s 30 minutes of excuses. Then the last 30 minutes it’s “well it’s a learning loss”. Steph made a great shot, Suns lost. Let’s get ready for the next one.

  31. This was a game to win with toughness, Suns don’t have it. Mentally, this is weak team. Nurk failed at first dirty move from Green and that’s exactly what that monkey wanted, this guy has zero sportsmanship and Nurk is stupid enough to fall for it! That shifted the complete energy of the match. But that’s still not all Nurks fault for this game. Nobody backed up Nurk, nobody! No togetherness?
    This was like a playoff game and Suns failed! I still hope that they learned something from this and get smarter for the playoffs…

  32. Okogie not being in at the end was criminal. I guess you could make an argument for it being Royce's first game with the team, but JO has to be out there in that situation.

    Gordon has played some good minutes this year, especially when starting, but I'm thinking Royce is going to eating some of them up. His D looked solid and he can knock down open 3s just as good as EG

  33. Yall got to give the warriors defense some credit. They have been 3rd in defense in the last 10 games.. you can see they have gotten a lot better and they have gotten a lot healthier. They are better than what their record would suggest.

  34. Warriors played as best as they could. Suns had too many mistakes/ mental Errors. Hope we learn from this for future games against clippers/ nuggets etc.
