Bradley Beal, Devin Booker & Kevin Durant GO OFF in Phoenix Suns best win of the year over Lakers

There has to be a pecking order to an extent if you want to utilize this big three the right way and tonight looked like the blueprint for how this is supposed to work deavin Booker is the guy that makes his team go and he came out today and and showed people why he’s

Devin Booker he set the tone of all the people in The Big Three the guy that I think needs to be second is Bradley Beal than mcoy co Co we’re feeling good because the sun’s actually put together a really good outing tonight you guys they started off hot in this one kept it going through majority of the game sure there was that little tiny lull there in the fourth quarter but we won’t talk about that one

For right now I think we got to talk about Bradley Beal yes this is the first game we’ve gotten of Bradley Beal where it was like all right Bradley be showed up and came to play MH yeah yes yes yeah I I feel validated yes I’ve been saying since

Start like there’s gonna be a game where Bradley Beal is just gonna be cooking and you’re GNA notice it and what’s ironic is is both book and him were cooking in this game at different points and it was just man that third quarter was something special man it really was baby friendly reminder

Bradley Emmanuel Beal senior very good at basketball very good at basketball this guy I mean this is what this is what we’ve been waiting for took some time but this was a nice reminder of how good this guy is this guy is one of the best

Scorers in the entire NBA and it felt good to see him after everything he’s been through the back the ankle all the ups and downs for him to have that moment on TNT in LA in prime time that’s really cool for him so way to go Emanuel

Love you my guy it was it was great to watch especially because I I know we’ve gotten tired of beating the same dead horse about needing to see these guys out on the court together but tonight was a good example of book had it going

In the first half you try to take that away guess what Beal’s gonna come at you with you know pick and rolls with Kevin Durant you you can’t stop that it goes back to what they said before the season started about the whole you can’t guard

Us all at once as they continue to build reps we’re going to hopefully see more and more performances like this and now that the dude is shaking off the rust like you could see with the step backs with the three-point shots that he was hitting like he is a really tough cover

And it’s crazy that some people were saying we should bring him off the bench or comparing him to Austin Reeves before the season started Austin Rees on skates they cooked that boy so bad he left the arena with a tan by the how long have you been sitting on

That I mean they also like from the start they threw a couple wrinkles at the Lakers that they hadn’t done before yeah at least not to my recollection uh and then I did notice in the second half or in the third quarter they um they they pitted KD and Booker in the corners

At the top of the key and then they would flash Beal across the middle and oh my God all the room like he just caught the ball there was one where Anthony Davis I swear he could just reached up and touched the net that’s how far back he was and be’s just

Looking at him at the free throw line like okay bucket like yeah yeah for sure and then it’s funny we were talking about him going over uh going at Austin Reeves when Anthony Davis tried to match up with him he was like yeah I’m G cook your ass too and he

Got him a couple times man like I love it and that was the aggressiveness if you had been in this office if you had been in this studio and watched the game with us in the second quarter flex and I were losing our minds because like Brad

Why are you passing take it to the rim and because he kept trying to defer and defer and defer and it was like finally like bro ball and then he did and it was lights out after that well and that’s a good way to get to the line too it’s a

Good way to create physicality as well we saw with Bradley Beal a little bit with nerk here and there I mean his was more up and down than Brad’s was but it’s like make Ad work make those guys like like test them put push them to the

Limit a little bit see if you can get them in foul trouble if you use your fouls who cares you got them you know what this was the first game all year that I saw them pigeon hunting the whole game the whole game whether it was uh

Reeves whether it was DLo whether it was uh what’s the young kid’s name I got just lost trainer thought Christie Max Christie Max Christie they they were pigeon hunting the whole game and when you got three guys that Dynamic that’s kind of what you want to try to do every

Night you want to try to find that mismatch and beat the hell out of it and they stuck to the plan and it’s just a nice refreshing sign that when this team is locked in and they’re healthy and they get some things going going they this they they can be tough man this

Team can be tough funnest game of the year absolutely it’s up there for sure I’m trying miam’s game was pretty fun too the Nick was a fun one but we didn’t have the whole big three in that so I think this one’s the funnest one and

Then here’s a nice little Tipp to take from this I know Drew got sick but to have this performance on technically the healthiest night of the year this is supposed to be the first game that we haven’t had anyone on the injured uh report uh this is a nice way to start that

Little you know that that little bit of momentum as far as being healthy and then have that performance also we had a j dunk oh boy oh man don’t even get me started oh boy oh man oh boy and that was a big play in the game like that

Really shifted the game we talked about being a dog right yeah it was like that that kind of like reinvigorated everybody was like yeah let’s go out these dudes yeah shout out to Josh aogi for that one man that was that was fun and you know I always love anytime we

Can give Josh a kogi some love especially when it comes to uh scoring points that was a dunk of the season so far for the Suns oh no doubt struggling to think of a and on Jackson Hayes right right like you could have picked a better person to just like yeah like not

Mad at that one all right guys I think it’s time to give out a few flowers we’re gonna start with our big bright shiny star and I don’t know about you but it’s no surprise here this one goes to Bradley of course bright shining star look at

Thaty look at thate look like a Roman conqueror yeah he does right he does like built the Statue right now one wasn’t building the day but Bradley Beal was 37 points tonight six rebounds eight of 10 from Deep he entered that third quarter with just 11 points then got

Himself 20 in that quarter that’s what really like took off for the Suns that third quarter looked really good for them uh but eight of 10 for Bradley it’s season high of course for him uh this is a this is a good game like we’ve been waiting for Bradley Beal to pop off

We’ve been waiting for Bradley Beal to pop off we’ve been waiting for the Suns to shoot threes and we’ll get into that in the next segment but like I it was great to see him not hesitate from three even one possession he missed the three they got the offensive rebound kicked it

Right back to him Splash uh he was just Uber aggressive and you need to see that from Bradley Beal a passive Bradley Beal does you nothing that’s right it does you nothing he’s just another role player he’s no better than Grayson Allen but a but a healthy and really focused

Bradley Beal that wants to attack is just as good as Devin Booker and so and that’s what you need you need three dogs out there you can’t have one of them be passive they all have to be aggressive KD to me a little bit just kind of took

A backseat and let those two good dudes cook and good good players when they know they’re maybe just a little bit off compared to the other dudes they’ll defer and that’s fine there’s a difference though deferring and being passive when you defer you just are acknowledging somebody else is hot

They’re on a heater keep feeding the heat but when you are passive that’s what hurts because you’re passing up opportunities that could actually help your team like Bradley Beal was doing in the second quarter but then you change to the third quarter and you see the dynamic difference there you see so you

Know with time we haven’t had much time with the big three with time you start to see some things fall into place and one of the things that I was interested in in looking at was there is there has to be a pecking order to an extent if

You want to utilize this big three the right way and tonight looked like the blueprint for how this is supposed to work Devin Booker is the guy that makes his team go and he came out today and and showed people why he’s Devin Booker

He set the tone of all the people in The Big Three the guy that I think needs to be second is Bradley Beal because Kevin is so good at scoring and doing other things with limited opportunities this guy again I I I I’ve said this multiple times Kevin for his career only takes

Like 17 shots so if there’s one guy that can be that third guy and you can rely on him to get 20 25 30 is Kevin Durant so tonight looked like a little bit of a blueprint book you set the tone Brad you you s you be a killer and be aggressive

And then Kevin’s going to pick his spots and he’ll be the best player in the world at picking that spot as a number three so I mean I I don’t want to call anybody one two three but that pecking order feels good

Bradley Beal nearly dropped 40 on the Lakers Thursday night after Devin Booker set the tone early and Kevin Durant picked his spots. The PHNX Suns podcast reacts to a great win over LeBron James and Anthony Davis & discuss what the best version of the Suns looks like.
