The Suns are running OUT OF TIME to become a cohesive unit – Bob Myers | NBA Countdown

The Oklahoma City Thunder they lead 6652 at the half turnovers 11 turnovers for Phoenix leading to 18 points for the Thunder that just can’t happen Bob no look it’s too late in the season for that really I mean it’s never a good time but you look at Oklahoma City

Thunder three three turnovers and they look together right people watching this game you don’t have you don’t hear from us just they look together they look cohesive I know Phoenix is without Devon Booker Phoenix has talent they have a lot of talent but they’re just not playing together it’s not one plus one

Is three with them yet and they’re running out of time to figure that out they have such individual Talent they have shot makers but for whatever reason it’s just you can’t give up that 18 to0 run about four or five turnovers in a row in the late second quarter yeah I’m

Looking at the little things right you’re looking at the dun the Oklahoma City Dunt I’m watching them you know they’re loading up defensively boxes and elbows you know you see the weak side 2 ning you could tell like they’re trying to build habits great habits going into the postseason they get back in

Transition Phoenix on the other hand you got guys that are trying to do stuff that they shouldn’t be trying to do like you know nurkic and I I don’t want to pick on them but the truth is is that be involved in a lot of screening roles be

A screen Setter dive into the basket play the dunker spot you know play your position I understand guys want to show that they have a bag but there times it’s certain times where you just have to play your role and I feel like Frank

Vog and I don’t want to blame him cuz I love him but it seemed like he hasn’t identified to each guy what their role is on the team they look disjointed and disorganized yeah and and you know I I wish we had more time and I want to I

We’ve talked about Phoenix I just want to say how good sh Gil just alexand I mean can points four assists four rebounds I I have to start watching him more I I I he’s he’s just I mean um he has a pretty game too if you can say

That I mean it’s not just effective I mean he has such a uh smooth game and he hasn’t even made a three yet but look at that that is a hard shot that looks easy to keep it in the left hand the whole time he he’s what makes me think the

Thunder could be more dangerous than many of us think in the playoffs because I don’t know how you stop him you saw him do in the summer in the the international league I mean he was the best player I think in that tournament he was and to add to your point the

Entire Thunder roster to say that they’re so young they’re so unselfish right you you can see those guys playing for one another you don’t see that often no you don’t young team it seems like they really have a a Bonafide big three between uh Jay Williams between Shay

Guilis Alexander and Chet holr remember the last time they had one it was me Russ and Katie that’s um yeah you were the third you were the third let’s not go to break let’s get into that really quick sh just Alexander he already has 44 30-point games this season he’s well

On his way to notching yet another one tonight I [Applause] [Applause] is

  1. I'm glad Bob Myers called this out. I think beal being in and out of the lineup will cause issues due to a lack of team chemistry, and their bench/coach is suspect. I think their highest ceiling is 1st to 2nd round at best.

  2. It seems that this team isn't as dangerous as the CP/Booker team that made the finals. KD and Booker are good, but there really isn't a floor general to coordinate and run the team.

  3. First time in NBA history that I've seen a guy grab 16 boards at halftime and get criticized.

  4. I’ve been watching basketball since early 80’s. The Suns are underachieving. I usually don’t blame the coach but this teams seems lost with no coach, no true point guard, no true leader. What is the strategy? What r they even doing? Let BOL BOL play more. No consistent rotation of starters or bench. They are a mess!

  5. Don’t see why the analyst are surprised. Any team KD has been on besides the warriors have not been that good. Put together good players don’t make them a team. And the fact is KD is a bus rider and for ever will be.

  6. Put KD at 20 minutes doing spot shooting, 3pt shoot out or close out. KD is slowing down probably of age or mental.

  7. Shai is dominant and I dno if this is their year bc they are young but he’s gonna with that city a chip in the next few years barring any unforeseen health issues

  8. As a suns fan I'll be the 1st to admit. These suns aren't winning a chip this year. Fun to watch but too many turnovers and injuries. 2nd round exit at best
