KD and Curry had a horrible game
We have a point guard and his name is DBook
Nurk
Devin MVP campaign begins!!
None of KD shots were open. Every one of them contested. Ya'll gotta get my man some easy buckets to get him going.
KD was getting played very physical tonight. The Warriors were allowed to play borderline dirty at times, especially after halftime.
Every shot KD took was contested none of them were easy that was great defense by the warriors. Suns need Nurk to help KD get easy baskets like in preseason. Gordon and Allen will shoot better not worried about them at all. Beal will be getting most of their shots anyway. Suns work on their turnovers and they will be unstoppable.
Watanabe Okogue and Nurk Allen and Gordon will be HUGE ASSETS to the Suns
Sheesh, Emma got triggered at the end. She was right though.
Bradley Beal will be bringing the ball up the floor a lot to help Booker not burn out. Beal is the key to making the suns unstoppable with his ability to drive to basket get fouls go one on one and space the floor to make it easier for everyone else. Suns will average 120 pts a game this season
He only played like 8 games in the regular season last year cause he got hurt. That argument is a wash lmao
No sexy saxophone
Watanabe is going to be huge for the Suns
Talk about my man , Yuta watanabe! 👌🏾
Eubanks is the best backup center in the league. 3 blocks last night
Nobody ever seen KD have a lot of inaccurate games so people gotta chill not understanding injuries and timing of consistent nba games again. He’ll be solid
With Gordon & Allen struggling in a big way, would have loved to see Metu in there for a stretch.
jeesh I didn’t expect Okogie to level up my bad
SUPER NERD STAT: EUBANKS IS CURRENTLY 2023 SEASON BLOCK LEADER. FOR NOW. 😅😅😅WITH ONLY 2 GAMES PLAYED.
Thanks to the schedule of the Gods for allowing me to stop and watch the Diamondbacks bottom of the ninth. Then the W for the Suns!!! Yippee! Nurk for the first shot and the last shot!
Pretty crazy that you guys analyze these games and still haven’t noticed that KD really struggles with physical defenses and turnovers. Not sure how many more times it’s supposed to happen…
The Gerth is already legendary but dayum he just keeps elevating 🔥
I Wonder Where Brandon Roy Would've Ranked All-Time For Portland. Would've Been Interesting To See
Circle K is not the west coast WaWa….Smfh at least QT
Loved to see my guy Nas get in there cold off the bench and sink a 3 right away!
KD is slow and doesn’t have the burst anymore. Relies on his jump shot 100% of the time
KD put up the DA statline with 18/10
