Was the Phoenix Suns’ loss to the San Antonio Spurs their worst loss this season?

Was the Phoenix Suns’ loss to the San Antonio Spurs their worst loss this season?

I can’t explain what I watched last night where do you start at the beginning at the beginning and the slow starts for the Suns in San Antonio um I start with the fact that they just beat this team by 25 two days ago and the only thing that changed in those two

Days was that Victor wanyama was ruled out of the second game that game last night wolf not they lose and two players get hurt they lose to the worst lineup in basketball I know there’s teams with worst records in the Spurs although not many but that’s when

The Spurs have wanyama when they don’t have wanyama that’s the worst lineup in basketball yes um I would agree with that right now the the Suns gave the Spurs confidence I think early in this game I I listen you know me Luke I’m big on starts how you start a game and how

You start a half I’m big on those two things right there ba was also a guy that was big on that but it wasn’t just Bruce arens ladies and gentlemen this is something that a lot of coaches have believed over the years how you start

Now look you got to finish as well but how you start is really really indicative of how prepared you are to go out and do your job yeah they they were not to me I looked at this the Suns gave the Spurs confidence I think early in

This game I don’t know how you aren’t prepared for this game last night I mean we talked about it yesterday it was basically like okay wanyama if he doesn’t play you just need to show up and play just play play play an NBA level and you should win that game and

You’re so right because if you go out there and you jump on the Spurs and you’re up on them by 15 let’s say at some point in the first half they’re probably at a certain point not like consciously but in the back of their minds like look we don’t have wanyama

We’ve doing this all season when’s the season over like enough where you could be able to just put them away and ideally be resting Bradley Beal in the fourth quarter as opposed to having him get hurt yeah by the way um they beat us by 25 points two nights ago you know

What I mean in this building right exactly you know I you would have sent all the wrong messages of course but they didn’t they came out and they gave the Spurs light and I can’t tell you what that will do for a person and a team it just it’s individually and it’s

Collectively what it does and that man that happened multiple times throughout this season as well the the Suns need a nasti disposition that’s what they need they got a bunch of guys that are really really talented a bunch of guys that are really good players they need a nastier

Disposition I don’t know I’ve been talking about it all season long a Killer Instinct and the lack thereof San Antonio’s won 16 games this year and three of them are over the Suns whoa whoa whoa and the only team that’s exactly what I’m talking about though

Right and and the Suns needed that game last night like I think you know that I’m optimistic enough where I’ll try to look at the bright side of things where I can write off a game in late October that you lose to the Spurs okay you know

This team’s probably not very good but Victor Wim Bama is kind of an unknown okay now you’ve lost back-to-back games October 31st November 2nd to the Spurs at home that’s a little weird but maybe it’s early in the season maybe you’re not okay whatever it was it was game

Four and five of the season the Suns needed that game last night they’re back in play in because they couldn’t beat the worst team in basketball and yes I get the Pistons have a worst record and what Washington slightly does too that’s San Antonio without win Bama and if the

Spurs don’t ever play the Suns they have the worst record in the NBA yes you know look at I’ve been talking about it’s all season at least it feels that way I I’ve adopted the attitude of prove it right I mean this is something that I Mel have I

Talked about this right just a prove it mentality I think it was right after the allstar no it was before the allstar game as a matter of fact it was going to be what what are you going to do when you come out after you’ve you’ve had a a

Chance to actually collectively see what you’re going to be and how you’re going to play and who you are and then take a break breathe and then come back out and say this is who we’re gonna be man I I it’s just a prove it mentality and any professional athlete that doesn’t want

To prove it or is offended by hearing some fat guy who’s 61 years old Savage though it may be 61 years old on the air saying you know what I’m I’m going to I want to see you prove it why would you be offended by that oh

My goodness that’s what you do right that’s who you are I will prove it every time you step in between those lines every time you have got to have a prove it mentality and right now I this team’s too nice I don’t think they’ve got that prove it

Mentality I as collectively as the team maybe they don’t I don’t know I I mean you you watch like there’s moments in the fourth quarter last night where Booker just takes over he’s just going off and making it was like I don’t even know I lost count of how many points in

A row he had scored it was at least nine at one point Suns points yeah but every time down the Floor San Antonio just walks up easy basket I mean so it’s like what is going on you’ve got Booker going off which is you know part of the appeal

Of this team or part of the up side of this team but if you just give up the two points the other way 5 seconds later you’ve completely nullified one of your biggest strengths and we’ve seen that too much this season I I mean I thought

The Suns at points in the game last night played better defense than we have seen from them but they also would just turn the ball over like anytime they did something right last night it was almost an unforced error to nullify what they had just done and you know they still

Had a chance to win it at the end I get that but it’s San Antonio you should have been up by 10 look the ‘s turnovers are starting to burn the hair off my filum it really is I would get that checked out what I don’t know what a

Filtrum is but oh you don’t know what a filtrum is no oh a filtrum it’s the crease the crevice between your nose and your upper lip I know I it’s a filtrum yeah Lear something new yeah you might want to shave yours as a matter of fact

Right there so you can see your filtrum No the Suns have done this to me I’m not shaving till they beat San Antonio they only had 14 turnovers for the game but it all seemed to happen in the middle of the spurred 16 to0 run in the third

Quarter I mean it just 16 to zero run by the S Antonio Spurs against this team yeah you know when the game was on the line 160 run into the fourth quarter from the third into the fourth man that blew my mind that just just it seemed like every turnover happened right there

Now I know that was not the case that’s a gross embellishment but man I’m I’m getting tired of watching other teams inferior teams beat the Phoenix Suns three times with the Spurs twice with the Rockets just yeah the Hawks yeah no it’s been just tired of watching it I think

That’s it right there I was just trying to figure out what the score was when that 16 to0 run started it was so the suns were up by 7 with under 2 minutes to go in the third quarter it was 74 to 67 that’s when it started and then all of a sudden

The Spurs became the 96 bulls and couldn’t be stopped like what what is going on what Devon vassel is a good player but he’s he went to the Bobby poris Academy last night of oh I can’t miss a shot I’m playing the Suns man the Suns they

Played like the three faces of Eve Google it my young Crocs what was the other one I have to Google filtrum yeah F I don’t know filum football by the way it’s pH that’ll save me a lot of time can we we’re going to break I don’t want to

Talk about the Suns but we’re going to talk about the Suns a lot more Luke’s got to shave his filter not no well you don’t have to because it burned right off watching the Suns last night yes thanks for watching wolf and Luke tap to see more and click the button in the
