Have The Phoenix Suns FINALLY Rediscovered Their Groove?



Have The Phoenix Suns FINALLY Rediscovered Their Groove?

You know what there’s something to say about getting things right at the right time and not peing too early and it’s not how you start as how you finish and listen again Philadelphia Atlanta San Antonio not the greatest opponents but that’s who you’re scheduled to play you

Play who’s in front of you m three straight wins by more than double Digits shout out to the Suns for taking care of business like espo you bring up style points fairly often or you have so far this year a couple times do you feel like this was a style points game for you oh my God they put on the book ones

They put on a nice suit they went out and kicked some ass for the first time this year in every quarter they dominated this was the Phoenix Suns team we were promised and we got them tonight in San Antonio if this team pulls pulls it together and plays similar to this

Limit the ter turnovers get Devin Booker Bradley Beal and uh you know and Kevin Durant all hitting on all cylinders and you get a freaking Eric Gordon to show up to the party guess what the Western Conference may have a a new team that’s going to scare some people this is this

Is exactly what I wanted to see from his team and I I don’t want to read into a win over a 15- win Spurs team too much but I had said before the game I want to see them just get a blowout victory for them to cut down on the turnovers for

The big three to play well together for them to be moving the ball and continuing to build the offensive cohesion that we have seen over the last week or so and they did that like this was exactly what I felt they needed cuz the last two wins like yes they were

Against inferior opponents they didn’t feel like it felt tonight and obviously those are better opponents than what they played tonight but this just felt like a good dominant like okay we’re we’re figuring things out and to your point like the bench you go up and down

Three guys off the bench with in double figures Drew Eubanks looking like a serviceable backup center um you know B bow hitting pullup three is in garbage time like that it’s good for The Vibes like they they needed a get right like just dominant win and they got that

Tonight yeah you know what there’s something to say about getting things right at the right time and not peing too early and it’s not how you start it’s how you finish and listen again Philadelphia Atlanta San Antonio not the greatest opponents but that’s who you scheduled to play you play who’s in

Front of you m three straight wins by more than double digits okay against Philadelphia you had 23 turnovers in Atlanta you had 17 tonight you got eight right so you seen the num you seen the arrow pointing in the right direction in regards to turnovers here’s a number we

Always talk about 30 assists you know how many they had tonight 38 36 38 38 36 mine says 38 yeah I saw 38 too but either way they have plus 30 right5 oh now mine says 38 refresh yeah refresh so so 38 dimes tonight you protect the basketball uh San Antonio’s

Not that physical and so although eight is a great number I will say that uh physicality is a part of turnover sometimes and I like to see them do it uh again have a good game on Monday but again when you get some of this better competition if you can keep that number

Down I’m telling y’all right now I feel really good about this basketball team I like the energy I like the vibe I like the shift I like the next 10 I’m excited look this game made me feel really good because the Spurs games earlier in the season made me feel really really bad

Did this one make up for those I think it did I think it did because even though the Spurs are a superior or inferior opponent you still can’t really rely on that so much I was wondering bro it’s dark out here man you scar me man

It’s not dark out here you just got Black sunglasses look like midnight you almost brought the Jersey out that could have been bad I felt like I was in the alley in somewhere for those on audio Saul snuck up silently between Gerald and flex and they didn’t they didn’t know he was

There we just let him we let him wait until he found out that’s hilarious um no but this one definitely made up for at least one of the losses that the Suns took for to the Spurs at the hands of the Spurs earlier on in the season um

And because even though they’re an inferior opponent opponent they still beat us twice you know what I mean we’ve lost two inferior opponents this season multiple times even uh others not name the Spurs you know what I mean and then from the turnover perspective Flex I know you mentioned eight but I really

Only count like five of those maybe if we’re being honest because um a lot of them came in the fourth quarter with guys once we started clearing the bench you know how many you you pointed that out before we came on what did they have three or four going into the forth

Something like they had five as a team they’ve wound up with 10 as a team including shot clock violations which like all of those five two shot yeah in the fourth quarter and five turnovers in the fourth quarter when they were already up by 30 who cares and this this

Is one of those games too people are going to look like ah this fourth quarter team no like noch they lost the fourth quarter so it didn’t help their net rating and that’s why people freaking out about the fourth quarter thing I always point to games like this

Like they were up by 20 plus going into the fourth that’s not going to help your net rating and they pulled the starters too at a certain point or at least majority of them right they pulled the bench at one point too they to double

Bench I’m sorry it uh but any the the thing the thing you bring up well it’s an inferior opponent but if I’m going to lose my ever loving mind when they play poorly to an inferior opponent I’m going to celebrate when we finally see a complete game from this team because as

Everybody says when when they struggle against a an inferior team well everybody Got Talent in the NBA well the Spurs whether it’s you know top tier Talent no outside of wemi but they’re still NBA team and they kick their ass uh you know for a majority of this game

And that’s what we were promised and I’m going to give them a lot of praise for what they did tonight now come back out Monday do it again and then we’re really rolling that’s four in a row you get some momentum I I don’t think you can over overestimate or o overstate how

Important it is for these guys to get comfortable to feel like things are rolling to feel like hey some of that weights off our back because look we are playing like that team we were supposer you had a a conventional perfect KD performance tonight 12 of 16 25 points

Four assists four rebounds three steals like that’s what you want from Kevin Durant you get Devin Booker to have a massive third quarter he finishes with 329 and seven uh you know even Bradley Beal goes for a double double 13 and 12 assists like this in an ideal world is

What you see come playoff time as well and when they’re when they get to do this it feels like that weight’s lifted a little bit they can have some more fun and hopefully it leads to momentum in the final 10 which is the gauntlet that’s going to determine where you are

Hey go g listen real quick espo we we started this against Philly we got to do it again come on man come on oh the secret handshake secret hand that’s the that’s the key to the winning streak we going to keep it going would do that again on Monday after the dub

Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns put on a show against the San Antonio Spurs! Style points were added to the box score, they took care of the ball and limited turnovers and it felt great! How does this win for the Suns make you feel?

  1. Suns beat a spurs team plus did spurs even have 2 or 3 elite super star with Victor wembanyama. Plus when suns beat the Hawks they were missing half there players? Have the Suns ever beat top team without all 3 Booker Beal or Durant playing?

  2. Good they've won last 3, glad, but let's face it, the teams were that good.
    They'll beat Spurs again, but lose 3 in a row to Nuggets, Thunder, Pelicans, teams better than them. Yea my prediction!

  3. Sitting far watching the only time I ever heard the fans in that arena get loud is when it involved 2missed free throws for chicken. Their arena energy is bad that it sounds like they get better cheers on the road. Teams come in there feeling like they are playing in a neutral space. 70 games of up and downs and when you struggle your fans at home are supposed to get behind to lift u up.
