Phoenix Suns are a PLAYOFF TEAM thanks to defense centered around Mark Williams

Jason breaks down the impressive Phoenix Suns defense in their win over LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and the Los Angeles Lakers. He explains how Mark Williams has been so effective defensively and why Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks, and the Suns can make the NBA playoffs in a crowded Western Conference.

  1. MAILBAG: GSW/DAL Trade question— Any chance the Warriors can pry Gafford and either PJ/Max (or both!!) for Kuminga + Picks + Salary filler (Buddy & Podz)?

    Thank you for the show! Look forward to your thoughts!!

  2. mailbag: What about a trade for Corey Krispert? Vanderbilt, Knecht, a second or a 1st swap. Seems to be a great fit as a 6th starter if that makes sense.

  3. it's funny how KD doesn't really make teams better typically beyond stacking the deck in Golden state, but Brooks joins the suns while KD exist and suddenly the team is better….

    I've been on team KD is overrated and basically a better version of Zach Lavaine in being a great empty calory scorer that generates undue hype everywhere he goes.

    The more I see parts moving around related to his situations, the more convinced of my beliefs I become.

    Sure the Rockets are good, but they were already the 2 seed last season without KD.

  4. Love seeing the suns get the recognition they deserve, they give a ton of effort every game, win or lose. The team has a defined identity and Jordan Ott has been great so far in his first year as head coach. It seems like everyone is really bought in on the culture and they’ve been able to still get wins even with key players injured.

  5. Punched the Lakers in the mouth without Green, Allen, and most of the game without Booker says a lot more about the team and Jordan Ott

  6. Factors why the Sun's are better this year. They now have an identity. Instead of top heavy older stars. They have scrappy under valued talent. They are stronger deeper and play as a team Instead of shallow isolation stat stuffing stars. The coach is young talented and has them bought in on defense. Now just imagine what would happen if they weren't decimated with injuries.
    No one will want to face the Sun's.

  7. Suns players and coaching staff have nothing to lose, just get better right? Someone commented that the Suns reminded him of the movie, "Money Ball". Couldn't agree more

  8. Suns remind me of those plug and play Patriots teams. Jalen goes out and Grayson steps up. Grayson goes out and Colin steps up. Booker goes out and I bet Goodwin or Brea steps up. Williams goes out, and Oso steps up. You catch my drift

  9. Saw them play vs Spurs couple weeks back. They played tremendous and Connor Gillespie is a nice guard.

  10. Mark Williams is still a work in progress. He's good and looked really good last night. But he needs to make those little layups and his aggressiveness by adding more muscle, he's still young. Plus his free throws, he's missed crucial baskets that might've won us an additional game .

  11. 1- it’s pathetic you’re just now doing a Suns breakdown. We’ve known this about the Suns for weeks now.
    2- Thank you to the loser Lakers for rescinding the Mark Williams trade and cutting Goodwin to give Bronny a roster spot 😂😂

  12. Thank you for the love brotha. The suns never get any good publicity…it's refreshing to see the hustle after the last 3 years of playing like we are in a old folks instead of the nba. Hopefully we won't trade all this youth for a super team. I didn't think it was possible, but because of the hustle and defense I think I like this team better than the 2021 suns, before we traded for durant. GO SUNS GO. happy holidays everyone

  13. This is what suns should have added around booker and kd instead they paid 50mill for a complete waste of player in beal
