The Phoenix Suns split the season opening trip and EJ has thoughts



The Phoenix Suns, missing two of the three big 3, win close, lose close on the road against the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Kevin Durant can only do so much but ultimately the role players have struggled, can they fix it?

  1. KD at center + shooters lineups I think are only good for short stretches to get a burst of offense and to stretch the opponent big if they're immobile. Probably won't see it very much with everyone healthy though so kinda a moot point.

  2. I'm just happy that none of the major Outlets have poached Eddie away from us. People are ready to hit the panic button after two games. When these guys barely even know each other. We're looking at the opposite of a cohesive unit with a set rotation. And the entire process of guys trying to learn how to play alongside superstars. Hopefully this is all looking a lot better by Christmas. And a well-oiled machine in time for the playoffs.

  3. 11:00 teams shoot the 3 in transition because they are much more likely to get the rebound. Your sacrificing an 85% chance at 2 for a 45% chance at 3 + 80% chance at an Oreb which becomes an offensive possession with cross matches. It’s less efficient to take the 3, but not egregious.

  4. Bro I thought KD intentionally threw the ball away intentionally to make a point too. KD is a little emotional and he seemed frustrated of the double teams and the amount of pressure he faced with carrying the team. It was shown in his body language.

  5. If the Suns develop chemistry as good as Saul and Eddie’s chemistry on this pod, the Suns will go 16-0 in the playoffs

  6. Dunno if you guys realize but you haven’t been uploading the outside shots episodes to apple podcasts.

  7. Any Suns season ticket holder with good seats want to do a ticket swap with a Nuggets season ticket holder? 2 for 2?

  8. I now its really early. But i do not understand why Vogel did not play Metu and Udoka against Lakers

  9. It may be early in the season but injuries are already a factor and can’t brush it off as not a big deal.

  10. Grayson was wide open like 20 times last night, and they never passed him the ball. Grayson was the only guy driving and kicking. He needs to be getting 8 3point attempts

  11. Booker amd beal should be embarrassed and ashamed leaving KD out on an island playing 1v5 vs Lakers in their home opener… seriously a disgrace..lace em up and play the fckn games

  12. hard to for anyone else to get hot when only 1 assist in the 4th.

  13. As always great video and content. Appreciate your thoughts guys. Having Eddie as a featured part of PHNX content is such a win. Go Suns!✌🏾🧡

  14. Nowadays players are fragile and the league is fragile. I remember in the 90's when players would go out and play no matter what. Pro sports leagues, whether its the NBA, NFL and MLB, have all turned to sissy leagues. All of 'the big 3' hype is bs. Bucks to win it all
