Kevin Durant leads the way in his comeback to Brooklyn as Suns handle Nets | PHNX Suns Postgame Live

[Applause] Hey welcome in everybody to the P night sun post game show we are live fromg SP book out at State Farm Stadium where we just had our watch party with a bunch of our die hards and a bunch of new faces as well shout out to everyone

Who came out and joined us for the watch party tonight we got a on dub and you know what that means the phnx crew is still undefeated when doing a social event and and on top of it we get sexy Sexy Sax cuz sun sck down the N 136 to 1

120 enjoy it y’all yeah go ahead do it do it do it do it do it do oh my goodness what a fun game uh for all of us out here at the watch party that was enjoyable we had some really memeable moments from this one obviously

We had a great game and big second half from Kevin Durant Yousef nkit showed up really uh strongly as well what’s your guys’s uh Prime takeaway in this one the purple pants are back and we’re winning again Tracy I’m sorry but they’re staying that’s you got to take one for the team How

Many pairs do you have three okay that’s good three that’s the same one and they never get lost you got you got to keep the luck in in them all right that was my concern yeah that’s that’s what’s going on no no that there’s three pairs

Of them uh my my biggest takeaway is it wasn’t a Bui there was some debate here at B MGM was that a Bui no was it a Brad Pit no it was a Thunder Road okay hey you ain’t a beauty but hey you’re all right okay it it was good they got it

Done and I’m happy about that right it was a for me it was a jack harlo it was it was fine it was fine it was there it’s showing up and everything a little bit but uh no it was it was fine like they it was a little shaky there in the

Fourth quarter but they stabilized things uh Frank made the adjustment with his rotation there to have book in at the start of the fourth we’ll talk about that but I I thought that they stabilized and that’s something thing we’ve seen them do in the last two games

Now which is encouraging can I can I change what I’m calling it what I’m going to call it a boray it was good when they showed up wow no because you’re usually you’re not always on all right but it’s always good when you’re here okay

I’ll on one all day walk that back real quick I’ll take the compliment I’ll take the compliment he meant it well I think I did I I did not mean it rude I think you did you know what um I I and we kind of touched on this in the pregame but

You know the fourth quarter is obviously what everybody wants to talk about but you you can’t talk about the fourth quarter and completely ignore what this team is starting to do consistently in the third quarter right right and so the other day G the other day against Miami

They go up 28 the game never got under 11 points in the fourth quarter to me that’s as dominant as you can be in the NBA now the quarter stats don’t look cute but the totality of the game is what I’m looking at like when they came

Out of this third quarter and they got it up to 20 at no point in that fourth quarter did I ever feel any anxiety or any feeling that the suns were going to let this game you know slip slip slip out of the cracks or something so uh

They got better this fourth quarter was better right significantly better not perfect but a step in the right direction and I’m I’m starting to like see what I’m starting to like what I see from this team when they come out the locker room yes at half time they’re

They’re really starting to uh to shift some things we’ll get into what Gerald said with the book minutes later but I mean I’m I’m cool man good night better than the Bui man stop with the Bui I said it wasn’t a Bui but we shouldn’t even be talking Bui it’s like flex’s new

Cut it was it was fresh to death baby all right guys let’s talk a little bit about Kevin Durant obvious viously as we know it was his first time back in Brooklyn since the trade he did have a tribute video and from what I hear people did cheer him tonight yeah which

Is a positive like I know that you’re allowed to feel however you want to feel um but I don’t think KD was to blame for the whole Brookland situation does it suck that he asked out for that fan base sure but listen we’re the Phoenix Suns

He’s on our team so we’re going to celebrate that but I’m glad that he had a good homecoming or of sorts uh tonight and of course he is going to be our big bright shiny star KD finished tonight with 33 points eight assists five rebounds he was 10 of 16 from the field

Two of six from deep and KD had a monster second half so at halftime KD had 16 points and five assists in the third quarter he was up to 27 points and seven assists like this was a fun performance from KD and of course the most iconic meable moment that we got

From tonight from him I don’t know because book at the end too came and said you know what both were great we got a we got another meme coming too we’re gonna use both of those multiple times but I feel like honestly I love the book celebration because of

The way that it kind of brings back the Twins and Mel and all that fun stuff but when you’re talking about something you can use on social on a regular basis this one from KD is top the best part too he’s staring into the crowd and he

Just stares with it which was awesome like this big big this big that big to his former teammate man cam Thomas that’s tough he was this big tonight and cam Thomas was this the difference is is that when KD did that to can in the in B in the basketball world

That’s malicious like that’s that’s malicious intent right what B did was more love that’s tailored too it’s like yo I love you I love you little bro I’m tee you little bit but it’s all I love you little bro I’m going remind you who the real number one is like I know you

Changed your jersey number but I’m just going so N I thought the book one was cool as hell and that’s paying homage and that’s more respect KD ruthless man KD ruthless man I love that you got that East Coast sense of what respect is because that was at the end of the game

When the wind’s in in hand he decides to do that to male’s face like that’s a unique sense of respect it’s kind of like me insulting Gerald to his face and telling him I me an AOS better no but I do think there I think when you’re in a

Competitive situation like the sport of basketball they you’re it’s different you know what I mean like when you’re talking trash to somebody that you care about or respect from that level like both a professional and a personal level yeah it’s different it’s not the same

Like K’s was a little bit more his was more harsh was more like he and cam don’t have that relationship too from that time maybe but it still felt a little worse but maybe it’s just cuz we don’t have the same maybe it’s like you’re my younger

Brother well no I think they I think they do but I again I think there’s levels to it like I think KD doing it is like staying your place low man you know what I’m saying like stay in your place low man chill out and I think big book

Uh book doing it is like I love you L bro you know what time it is but you know what I’m saying so this a little different intend I don’t have um the context but a couple people so Jeremiah in the chat said cam is little bro to KD

They’re super close LOL and then they said Cam and Katie used to play one-on-one daily and cam would lie about winning so maybe it is the same for Katie and Cam and if that’s the case I’m not mad either way I’m not mad at it’s love but it’s also Savage because they

Know what’s going to get under their skin and that’s the best part about it is like he probably knew that that piss cam Thomas off just like book knew M was gonna be like man he was my own s against you know what’s funny though you

Make a great point I could imagine based on what they just said they’re playing oneon-one in practice and KD is whooping his ass most of the time yeah and he’s literally telling them you know why I’m beating you little bro cuz you too small yeah I’d like to imagine that is what he

Was doing in practice too and he brings it out on the court too small bro now now again the that’s like to me that’s a tribute that’s like yo I’m because you got to think you got think about this and and I want your opinion on this

Devin you have to be really good to get that out of Devin and Kevin like they’re not going to do that if there’s not mutual respect or you’re really good um and so for Devon to do that s again I think it’s more of a tribute and saying

I respect your game enough that I’m gonna give you your own little s back but so it’s cool I like seeing it from Katie because one thing we’ve said is we haven’t seen all that emotion and that came out tonight and he and it was as

Part of a great game that he put together when you you know I know we talked about the statline but I mean this is a complete game with those 33 eight assists five rebounds the two blocks like he came out and he did a little bit of everything tonight uh and

Very much you know helped get this win out there and kind of will this team with some energy at different times tonight I I really like what I saw from him so yeah he was phenomenal on both ends you mentioned the two blocks uh only three turnovers tonight like got to

The free throw line 12 times it was just a very complete well-rounded game from him and they the Suns did a really good job of finding him like we talked about in pregame like nerk and him have really good chemistry to where they have the give and go chemistry down nurk is GNA

Find him on Cuts he’s going to find him on offensive rebounds for easier shots a couple of dunks that KD had were off of nurk finding him in that way so uh it’s good to see them develop that chemistry and there’s a reason why nerk is somehow

Leading this team in net rating it’s because when he’s on the floor he’s good at finding these guys and connecting them can I jump on that g because you know we talked about it a couple nights back I’m going to continue to say it it’s just my belief you don’t want to

Believe it it’s I mean it’s to your opinion I really believe if nerk does not get hurt in the Pacer game the Suns win that basketball game I really do they were controlling that game their inability to get rebounds and crash the glass and close out possessions is what

Did them in against the Pacers and again you can look at the the score all you want the end result that Orlando game the suns were up double digits and that azabou Miss dunk at about the five minute Mark went took a two-point game that should have been tied to a

Five-point game like that and then a snowball I believe nk’s a factor nerk they’re 0 and four when nerk doesn’t play men lie women lie numbers don’t damn it that’s not true well numbers can lie too okay okay okay numbers can be misinterpreted they can but again he

Comes back and the train keeps roll and so we can’t we we just can’t uh you know ignore that factor nur’s important and tonight he was incredible I I find Kevin Durant’s connection with big men interesting though too because we saw it with jock last year too that it was an

Important kind of yeah twom man game as well and you know I I love seeing both of them kind of get get going work together tonight and you know I just I I love that it was a complete Game you know I I know there were moments you

Know that you’re okay wasn’t wasn’t wire to wire then blow the doors off wire to wire whatever but this was a complete Game move things around you know figure out how to get everybody involved Kind of Night and the stat sheet especially with the starter shows it when did we

Get to the point and and this is an honest question that’s when did we get to the point and and maybe I know the answer to this but the style points man like we’re getting to not you not you in general I’m feeling more and more people like talking about how they won

Uh how much they won by and how they went about it as opposed to just appreciating winning in the National Basketball Association because they’re considered a super team and style points are going to matter with a big three you know you know what the highest it does I

Mean that’s that’s you’re not wrong with that as as far as like it matters in terms of how people judge them how people perceive them and how people talk about them like you’re expected to win in certain ways when you have a quote unquote big three and when you have

Superstars on your team you’re not supposed to have these like grinded out games all the time you’re not supposed to have these come back from down 22 plus points all the time you’re supposed to be dominating well me see I don’t know what so what’s your I’m not saying

It’s right I’m just saying that’s kind of the idea that’s the that’s how it’s discussed the highest differential in the NBA is the Boston Celtics at plus n okay so I mean you can look at the numbers however you want I get that but look at Milwaukee and Jal correct me if

I’m wrong here but I mean they’re 30 and 32 and 15 yeah they were they had a very good record uh and they still let their coach go there’s a perception that they’re not playing up to their to their potential like why is that because they got a big

Three style points matter depending on the construction of your roster and if the only end goal for your team is a championship if that’s all you’re being judged on regular season is all style points because in in all actuality nothing matters till those 16 wins in the playoffs so everything is a dress

Rehearsal so style points matter in a dress rehearsal to to the to the larger National narrative with it yeah I I I hate it I hate it cuz the NBA is tough yeah the NBA is really damn tough Sean Sean in the chat said it’s unfair judgment in the NBA in 2024 because

Every team is talented that’s right every team can put up 110 every team can put up 110 lens everybody’s talented it’s a scoring League it’s a Miss aake league and so I don’t like I look at this game and I’m like um if you go up in a basketball game 20 points and

You’re able to win in D by double digits on the road I don’t give a damn if you playing the Idaho Stampede if you’re on the road in the NBA and you walk away with a double digit win I don’t know I don’t I can’t fathom a world where we’re

Trying to find a problem with that or like not us again I’m just saying there’s too much of this Miami’s good man I know they’re on a slide but that’s a well coached team that game never got below 11 look if you beat the the Idaho

Stampede I want to know where you got your time machine because they haven’t been a team in a long time but uh when you like when you look at it Gerald uh with this I mean style points none of this really matters it’s all it’s all narrative right like that’s

All it is I mean I yeah I I don’t know about style points or narratives I I think there are some reasons to look at some of these games and be concerned about the fourth quarter stuff because these are Tendencies these are habits these are things that are recurring

And things that you can fix they’re not unfixable either at the same time I think they’re taking baby steps to addressing them like we we saw Tonight Frank changing up the rotation a little bit we saw them stabilize after giving up a run where they got it down to I

Think 10 yeah um and then they were able to push that lead back out they were able to hit some shots this is the chipping away at bad habits that it’s going to take more it’s not going to happen just one great fourth quarter where they’re going to all everything’s

Going to click it’s going to take some time for them to put this mental block behind them because watching this team in the fourth quarter it’s nothing but mental like they’re missing makeable shots they’re the other teams are going off because they can sense that opening

That the suns are giving them and it’s a mental hurdle at this point so the best way to do that is not with one you know Eureka moment where you have a good fourth quarter and suddenly everything’s fixed because each team plays differently each Situation’s different sometimes your lineups are going to be

Different but there steadily chipping away at it and that’s what I’m encouraged by the last two games they’ve had double digit leads the other team has gone on double digits and been able to pull out the win and so that’s encouraging to me yeah and the style

Point thing I think is just a byproduct of the world we live in now 247 constantly even just in general I mean think about social its likes its retweets it’s interactions it’s you know it’s how are you how are you portraying the life you’re living I think style

Points is a way of life now unfortunately and the lens it’s looked at so jokes for engagement pretty much yeah I mean there’s only there’s only 11 team there’s 30 teams in N there’s only 11 teams in the entire NBA that have a plus two differential sons of one of

Them right and so again I look at the I look at these teams and I say I used to talk about DeAndre in this light he got a lot of crap in the regular season um but there were moments in the playoffs especially during the finals run and and

That that year where book got hurt and we played the Pelicans in the first round there were moments where I said you know deandre’s the best version of DeAndre is in the playoffs what he does sticks out and jumps out more in the playoffs in a weird way guys and CW

Y’all can go ahead and kill me for saying this but I’m starting to believe that this basketball team is better suited for playoff basketball I I just feel like the the grind of the regular season the roller coaster the constant shifting of opponents I think this team

Is going to be better suited when they have a opponent and it’s a seven game series and they can make adjustments and they can play to their strengths I got a feeling that you know some of these things we’re dealing with now we’re gonna be grateful that we that we it now

Come playoff time hey we’ll find out I I see some people in the chat you want Nookie monster get those likes up I’m not I’m not yeah he doesn’t do it for free give me give me 200 likes before I’m I’m going to ruin my my vocal cord

Know if if I can if if it was Allstar voting you got my vote to make the allstar team you know why because you’re out thinking these guys like they’re at they’re at the top she’s in third place but listen to me listen to me Shut I got here’s my

Point you guys are up front and y’all wasting y’all wasting that lead and she’s chipping away getting these 16s and these 20s before you know it she going to catch yall but she not catch me okay but because I’m going to end up getting hip to what she’s doing and

Coming with a you know master plan to catch everybody but you know this meme of the guy that’s celebrating he’s he’s flipping people off and kissing the women and he’s spraying champagne and it shows pant out and shows her in third place that me Gerald you’re you’re a media member

Right so you’re one of the kind of people that vote uh for for allar right yeah do you vote for the player that isn’t flashy doesn’t score a lot and and there team is in third place no you vote for the guys that swing big

And dog let me hold on real quick let me defend Lindsay let me defend Lindsay you know who you are listen in baseball turns Lindsay is the 300 batter that’s gonna make the playoffs because she consistently every night is getting it done damn what you are is the guy that

Hits the Grand Slam home run and then goes 0 for 30 I must have Miss that’s what you’re doing I must have missed that Nike commercial where they said chicks dig the single all right chicks dig the long ball and that’s what I do I

Swing big and I win big and I make the allstar game all right that’s how it is last time I checked I was the only chick on this program so I think I get to decide what chicks like not you suck it and also we got to give nerk a little

Bit of love here I know we talked about him and his relationship with KD but not only did nerk help me win my bet tonight he is also our phnx factor of the game Yousef nage had himself a night he finished with 28 points 11 rebounds six

Assists he was 11 of 15 from the field and at halftime he had 17 so this was consistently throughout the entire game shout out to nerk he FL flirting with a triple double this one he was great and I twe jokingly tweeted in the first half like feed nerk because for

Were told about feed da and they were punishing the net smaller matchups with nerk and it actually was a thing where they kept feeding him because he was punishing those smaller matchups he was finishing around the basket he was Finding guys when he got hit with double

Teams like he was really good for that that stretch specifically um and then Nets couldn’t stop him so shout out to ner because he was huge in this game only missed four of his 15 shots like that’s pretty impressive yeah ner could have hit him with the two small all

Night I mean every play nerk could have hit him with that I I will not accept any nerk slander on this program in the chat this year y’all if Saul brings any of that nerk slander again I I’m going off all right because this guy has come

In and done everything that you asked of him and some more on certain nights when we heard oh it’s a better fit you go okay what does that really mean we’re seeing what that means this guy is a better fit with this team this guy fits

With the big with the big three he makes this offense a little bit better every time he’s out there because as we said he’s that connective tissue and tonight he was able to added in in the scoring column because they had the mismatch they had a matchup that aligns with him

That’s when you’re going to get the big scoring nights is when they have a mismatch but he’s also great with getting those passes I know the turnovers can be a little frustrating but that we had saw some really great passes and he took care of the boards I

Mean he had 11 tonight and we were talking about it in the pregame Claxton that had uh every game except for one in the month of January with 10 or more boards he had nine tonight yeah nerk out rebounded nerk was in nerk tonight man

He he’s just I mean he he listen 28 11 and six I mean you can’t he missed four shots 11:15 I mean that’s that’s incredible and I can’t Contin I I it’s crazy that we continue to ignore how much nerk means to this basketball team

In regards to being a glue guy in the connection like tonight he was rewarded in the in the in the Bo in the box score right he was rewarded in the Box Score but there’s most nights where he’s not there’s a lot of nights where

You look at nerk and it doesn’t look as shiny as it does tonight but you can sit here and see the impact he has I keep going back to the Chicago game that KD shot is not it’s not remotely possible without the play that nerk makes before

KD takes the shot and this team trust him to make those plays so when when nerk is playing like this that takes this team to another level they’re super dangerous when he’s playing like this well you know what he did tonight he put in the nerk nerk nerk nerk nerk anyways

Had to get it in es you were supposed to read that as the Super Chat Kevin sent do it again give Kevin his love Kevin where are we Kev says uh call 1 1800 nkit block shots W dunk hell he even uh unstuck balls with a broom for you nerk

Nerk nerk nerk nerk we’ll do the work work work work work there you go Kev you got your money’s worth twice I did it for actually and he sented it again another $2 nerk nerk nerk nerk nerk does the work work work work work all right I’m done I’m out I

Like it I I okay we got to address something in the chat because everyone’s yelling at me right now so I called nerk our sweet baby angel you did it’s controversial take as the inventor of the sweet baby angel when it comes to the Phoenix Sun

Uh-huh I think I have the most my vote counts the most it does it is a collective it is a collective yeah it should be like 60 like you got the fan vote chunk I still think it should be 60 anyway no get smashed in the PO get smashed in

The poll because everybody wants it to be graceon Allen how about we have two this year can we collectively agree to have two didn’t we have we did have to it was Mel and cam were the originals I feel like cam was the one though cam was

OG and Mel was also added in basically I think I think they’re the new twins but it’s the uh deito foregger kind of twins and Grayson Allen and and nerk oh man hey that might be that does make a little sense yeah although I do love the

Chat say he sweet Uncle ner sweet Uncle n which isi of itself I don’t know like I listen I love Grayson definitely a 180 as far as him being on the sun Squad but there’s just something about nerk that I feel like he he’s such a good teammate he

Gets my he is such a good teammate and that’s not to say that Grayson Allen isn’t but you can tell with how quickly their relationship bonded like him KD him and book like how it’s grown throughout the season the things on social media I know I always go back to

That but even the way they all talk about each other the way that Frank vogle talks about nerk like nk’s that guy for me for I know I get it I get a sweet baby angel I feel like he’s taking over but that’s just me okay that’s just me though sweet baby angels

I think ner got my vote thank you but but and I say that because I think he comes across as the big bro that looks out for everybody and uh and that’s why but I love Grayson but I don’t know we can give two like it’s like this it’s

Like the hustle Award right we’ll have to have a debate on this Triple B B says read the small print Lindsay has the right to change void or do away with sweet son’s baby angel whenever she sees fit triple be gets it that must be that

Must be in her contract in that really fine print that looks like lines at the bottom yeah um okay we have a super chat here from I know go down I know that one guy and they said hot take but I feel like nerk deserved the star but that’s

Just me he was the best player through like the middle portion of the game I think but then KD in the third and the second half like he took over and he was the best player in kind of securing the win so you could go either way but I’m I

Would go with the guy that had 33 on 10is 16 like especially team High plus 20 return to Brooklyn like he he was our star of the game but they were both really really great they were tonight they were you you couldn’t have gone wrong if you interchanged if they were

If we swapped them sorry I I get it still baby angel thing if you swap the two of them I don’t think you would have been wrong either yeah um I think both of them deserve to be highlighted tonight and they both deserved uh a lot

Of flowers um LOL in the chat said my vote goes to nerk as well and Then followed up with remember that one time when he shoved that guy for standing over Katie that was sweet honestly that was if somebody did that for me I’d be like are we best friends because we’re

Best friends now I’m just saying I’m just saying see I feel like that’s more like Archangel enforcer [ __ ] like that’s Archangel gambriel that’s not the sweet s baby angel angel I like Archangel nerk like Archangel nerk he’s going to kick some ass but sweet baby angel he’s going to

Sit there or a Hell’s Angel nerd I I feel like a sweet baby angel move is to sit at the podium and kindly tell Sons fans to cheer louder at games like that was crazy could you see nerk in one of those biker sleeveless jackets Hell’s

Angel nerk yep all right guys let’s take a look at the numbers presented by desert Financial Credit Union Arizona’s number one Credit Union named by forb uh yeah so Suns did a really good job on the boards as we mentioned nerk was huge on that front with 11 rebounds

They outrebounded the Nets 42- 27 free throw attempts were huge for the Suns and helped them pull away they were 24 for 32 the Nets only attempted 13 and made 10 of them fourth quarter points the Suns still lost the fourth quarter but it was only by three points they

Lost 33 to 30 so we can we can live with that when you’re heading into the fourth up by double digits and the bench points the suns were actually ahead in this category until basically garbage time but they did have 24 bench points the Nets had 28 and I think you can live

With that on even especially like in a double digit win on a night where Bradley Beal doesn’t have a fantastic game like that’s that’s pretty good we’ll take that you love to see good numbers like this um and like you said the bench Point kind of a little bit

Skewed there towards the end um but you brought a Bradley Beal and I think we could look at a couple super chats here about Brad so um we got one from black Mason and they said I’m wondering if Beal is going to get upset from the low

Shot attempts he walked off on a few of his teammates shots and he only took eight shots again and then Trevor sent one that said perk is starting drama about Beal’s body language I’m sick of the body language conversation cut out well that’s perk so yeah perk I’m sorry

Did you hear what perk just said today by Joel embiid oh not Joel embiid you Kendrick Perkin just came out today and said the 76ers should shut Joel and be down for the entire season because of yeah like like basically saying basically saying Joel embiid should be

In bubble wrap because he can’t like so take everything he says with a grain of salt take it with a whole carton of salt cuz that dude spits out the worst Sports takes I’ve ever seen in my life we talked about was Barkley the other day and making hot takes to stay relevant

And all those things perk is on another level as far as that goes and the and the shot attempt thing right he had eight tonight but Monday 21 Sunday 13 Friday 13 Wednesday uh 15 Monday the 22nd 17 Sunday the 21st 16 he’s got his opportunities tonight was just his his

Night where he took fewer like we’ve seen KD have those nights seen book have those nights tonight was Beals where he took fewer there there’s nothing to be upset about it’s it’s an EB and flow and the Suns offense was working I mean they shot 62% from the floor tonight 50% from

Three like their their offense was good there are going to be some nights and there are going to be some cases where a guy is frustrated because he doesn’t get the ball or he’s not getting enough shots but at the end of the day if they’re winning it doesn’t matter and I

Think these three decided to play together knowing that there would be those hurdles that you have to come those chemistry moments where you have to kind of figure out that flow and that’s the whole reason that it’s good that these guys have been healthy and

You still have 30 some games left in the season to continue building that Rhythm together like that’s what this is all about I also think we have to remember right now specifically with Bradley Beal as far as like any body language type of stuff goes or even like his shot

Attempts there’s going to be we talked about this when he first got hit in the face like it’s a learning curve dealing with the mass getting your vision down in the while wearing the mask and all that type of stuff so a lot of that frustration and that body language could

Be from some of these funky shots where he it’s just like Brad what’s going on here or turnover or something of that nature I mean we we’re starting to see less of them now that he’s got an actual mask on that fits his face but like we have to take that into consideration

Here like give them a little bit of a grace period as far as figuring out and navigating having to wear that yeah I that’s part of it Lind but I will say this there there’s a lot of stuff to the Brad B onion there’s a lot of layers to

That onion okay first things first this is a guy who has been the primary scorer on his respected bad team for a very long time and was a 30-point score in the NBA but had no success winning okay so adjustment number one Brad has to learn how to come be effective on a

Winning te te we just saw Terry Rosier say the exact opposite losing is different in Miami when we’re just used to losing and sha well Brad right now there’s a couple adjustments one he’s got to adjust to uh learning how to play on a winning team learning how to be

Effective without being the primary guy on said team right and then when people tell me about his body language I can tell you and I can say this with the utmost honesty and and Trust in the people I talk to when you see Brad’s body language bad it ain’t he’s mad at

Nobody else he’s mad at himself okay that that’s how Brad operates um if his body language is off it’s typically because he’s saying damn I could do better I could have made more shots I could have done this better and so he’s been in a little bit of funk since he

Broke his nose and I think that body language thing is more about him being upset because he knows he can play better but he’ll he’ll come around Brad still got a lot of adjusting to do I I think he he’s he’s a good enough play to figure it out yeah and then like

Everyone’s going to focus on the oncore body language but like I said when they are winning things are good and you could see it from his body language after the game nerk retweeted a photo that someone tweeted uh with Bradley Beal kind of photob bombing him in the

Background and he’s got a little love sign up big grin on his face this isn’t good body language I don’t know what is I know it’s it’s not a full smile the heart’s a little l pop sided maybe even partially broken I just I don’t I don’t

Buy that this is good body language you know I think I think that’s an angry heart that he’s putting up behind nerk and look at nk’s not even looking at him I mean look yeah he has his he’s like I don’t care I don’t want to see you Brad

Beal is doing this behind nur’s back how dare he right this is just not good of course audio listeners I’m being completely sarcastic yes 100% um but Nate in the chat said dude is expressive y’all just need to learn that like he is expressive on in in every sense of the

Word right when things are going really well or there’s a big moment you can look at Bradley Beal and he’s going to be cheesing ear to ear like that’s just who he is he called our defense trash CU it was he’s honest he’s he is bingly on

He is why we have cheeks don’t forget that if if if there were an award to give to somebody on this team about being just a good dude cross the board is hands down Brad Beal man I mean I mean the dude sat in the back court and

Risked a back court violation to give Josh aogi credit for making a steal and then the game before that picked an opponent up while a play is live helped him up off the floor and said hey man let me help you up and that said opponent went in and and and and helped

Get offense are you trying to help his no no no I’m just trying to point out the fact that Brad Beal in essence is just a good dude so when when I see people talk about his body language I know it’s not malicious that’s what I’m

Trying to make a point of it’s not malicious Brad’s a good dude so as of right now I don’t think any of us are worried about Bradley Beal we can revisit that conversation if we feel like we need to at at a later point but I’m not there’s there’s going to be es

And flows to this there’s going to be nights where one guy has less shot attempts than the other two guys and maybe even a third guy like a nurkic like tonight or like a Grayson Allen like the nights he’s gone off the suns are still eighth in offensive rating

Despite only being eight games over 500 their starting five their preferred starting five has an astronomical offensive rating that would lead the NBA so anybody freaking out about the offense or how the touches are being distributed fundamentally doesn’t know basketball and how this works when you’re trying to incorporate this many

Major pieces as well as a bunch of new role players who haven’t played together before it’s going to take some time there’s going to be es and flows to this by the way Deon had the comment of the night he said I hear Monty still hasn’t talked in

Herer I thought that was a good on the on the back to the numbers a bit I was encouraged by the free throws being up at at 32 because we had seen uh a few games where they were not getting specific calls I’m still not happy at it

At 75% though they’ve had it they’ve had some weird misses over the last couple of weeks that but again not a trend not something I’m freaking out about just I’d like C they still I think they’re still top five in free throw percentage like they’ve been a very good team in

That regard I know it stands out when they miss free throws because they’re so good well and it stands out when they shoot 62% overall and only 75 for free throws you’re like you’re like that that’s usually not that close of uh of percentages there yeah as but you know

Sources this one’s close to you okay is it true you’ve never had a real Taco oh God not this again I’ve never had a real Taco but where can I get one the stress oh this is an ad read I just was concerned about about your eating

You appropriate tacos you probably never had a mini chimmy either I don’t have no idea what you even said all right well then that’s good then I can feed you anything and just tell you it’s a mini chimmy but our friends of some burrow

WTF I don’t know what that is man CH cha never had it never had CH I must put it right in front of me I wouldn’t know what Timmy I must educate my man in the ways of some burough and we will do that they are familyowned and operated Flex I

Know family’s a big deal for you uh they they cook this meal like they’re cooking it for their family and that’s why it’s so good over with our friends at some burough they were voted Arizona’s most loved Mexican restaurant so try their popular Fiesta plat Fiesta means party

Flex okay it’s loaded with mouthwatering red and green chili beef that’s that’s a be water and uh mini chimies like I mentioned taquitos those are WRA tacos if you’re were wondering chips I think you know what that is fresh quac and they’re famous hot sauce so let some

Bros cater your next big meal or small order online or find one near You by visiting sos.com all right guys uh we talked briefly about the fourth quarter at the top of the show but let’s dive into it a little bit more one of the biggest things from tonight was that book

Started the fourth quarter out there on the court for the sun say KD sat out what did you think about that adjustment do you feel like that’s something they should continue to experiment with it’s it’s worth a look at this point I think like obviously they I think they went on

A 4-2 run to start and then the Nets went on like an 8-0 run after that so it didn’t fully fix the problem but again this was one of the first times we’ve seen that configuration out there so I’m big on the Reps I’m big on getting

Familiarity in that way I think that’s part of what we saw um but they were able to like I said write the ship after that and keep it in double figures for the rest of the way and that’s the encouraging thing to me so no it doesn’t

Fix everything right off the bat that there’s we didn’t mean to start this perception but there was this misperception that like oh if you start book to start the fourth everything’s going to be fine not necessarily but it’s going to take some time and I think it’s worth trying because we’ve seen

What doesn’t work to this point and it’d be better to switch things up then to keep bashing your head on the same ceiling well I I think it goes back to the psychological point that we’ve been talking about for quite some time I think it’s gotten into their heads and I

Think today was a step in the right direction by kind of switching things up a little bit you know what there’s a there’s a pattern that’s you know book goes out and we start to kind of uh Lo lose our way a little bit so you know

What now we’re going to come in tonight and let book start the fourth and although statistically it didn’t look as good as maybe we would want it M we don’t know how it affected the team psychologically I mean they they they only lost the third quarter by three

Points I question how many of those did we even lose that quarter because we we went to the bench and it was garbage minutes and stuff like that so um I like it I like it I think they needed a psychological shift and they got that

And so now we see if it continues or do we go back I I think you keep doing it unless you get a backup point guard at the deadline yeah if you have a if you have a primary ball handler in in that bench I think you may turn to that

Individual to start the fourth with Beal with KD uh and keep booking in more of a rhythm that he’s familiar with but if you don’t get that I think you got to stay this way and just just a comment mentally like you’re talking about any change kind of helps break you out of

That right and you kind of hope that this starts a pattern for this group where okay books out there we won that this one there wasn’t problems happens again then all of a sudden you get out of that that mental Funk that I mean even all of us outside of flex we all

Know Flex doesn’t doesn’t look the forth that way but a lot of us you go oh no again not again and uh and there was a moment of that here it corrected itself quickly but uh so I think they’ll keep with that unless they get somebody that

Can be that that ball handler great so a couple things from the chat DL said I liked vocal speech going into the fourth gave them a goal scoring 30 and they did that so step in the right direction so this season the suns are averaging 24.5 points per game in the fourth quarter

They like DL said they got to 30 tonight so um Improvement that’s a great love to see it progress is always a solid thing it’s just now a matter of making it a more consistent thing because we talked about that in the pregame show and everybody in the chat was joking we are

Consistent in the fourth quarter we’re just consistently bad right now we want to be consistently good or con consistently taking steps to be a great fourth quarter team yeah I I mean I like I I just like to keep it pretty simple a 30-point quarter in the NBA is good it’s

[ __ ] fantastic if you do that over four quarters you averaging 120 points a game so they got 30 like they they have 14 yeah it’s it’s way better than 14 and again I wonder no I’m I’m just saying I wonder like 30 is a really good quarter

In the NBA um and there’s still people that are saying it was an all right quarter and I’m like it’s 30 points man I don’t care how you chop it up it’s 30 points I mean what did you want 40 it’s an all right quarter by the standards

That we have all collectively set for the Suns I I just don’t know that 40 is realistic 35 it’s not it’s not about the number I don’t think of points it’s about the the ups and downs throughout the moments where it’s like WTF is going

On like can we not do this please it’s that if this team hadn’t done this so many times we would have looked at this game and been like well they gave us a small scare in the fourth but we we dominated that game for the most part

And we wouldn’t have cared that they lost the fourth quarter it’s because of the trauma that we built up the course of this season when that that game clock changes to fourth quarter yes uh we also have a super chat from Sith Lord thank you for sending your Super Chat they

Said I think they should inject an energy guy for the first two minutes of the fourth Lee met to or little just to start the fourth with some Tempo I I don’t think Lee’s gonna oh he’s talking Sabin I say I don’t think’s gonna be

Much sa I think Josh aogi might be that guy a yes I I think and we’ll talk about the bench in a little bit but I I do think the bench has made some strides over the last week or two that are encouraging for me looking ahead to what

The pro playoff rotation might look like um you know I feel like metu has kind of been in the dogghouse for the last couple of weeks he’s been outside On The Fringe I feel like kbd has done pretty well in his minutes so something to keep

An eye on but I don’t I feel like aogi is kind of that energy guy on both ends yeah I I of all the people he didn’t mention aogi and I get what he’s trying to say but I think aoi’s that guy um and aogi was really good today he started

Out really well got that energy up I mean the bench has been good I mean last two games they’ve been good they almost had 50 the last game what do they have 24 toight 48 they had 24 toight they had 24 toight so I mean um we talked about

You also got to remember there’s no Grayson now right so without no Gordon on the bench correct so if you want to keep it real and you want to add Gordon’s numbers to that bench um yeah you got you got damn near 50 points tonight right how much did Gordon had

Gordon had 17 17 okay see I’m not great at math but you know I’m somewhere around 41 not far off from 41 and then six players in double digits yeah so well I I also think that Eubanks could be that energy guy at times if you wind

Up having him starting in that fourth I I don’t know like I I want to just see if if the book experiment coms things down and that that’s enough to just change the tide or whatever you do at the deadline and I’m not convinced they do anything uh just based on what’s well

Based on what’s available nothing of any significance I’m not convinced that it’s not going to be something that’s going to impact your fourth quarters necessarily okay may maybe it will be but I’m I’m of the mindset let’s expect that this is probably about what you

Have going into so figure out how how to fix it internally and I hope the book stuff is enough there you you are probably even if you add two or three players at the trade deadline you’re probably maybe GNA get one two tops that will actually be in your playoff

Rotation and that feels like a stretch like you don’t have a lot of trade assets at your disposal your rotation is kind of stabilizing itself as it is so we shouldn’t be expecting any needle movers maybe one guy who can come in and give you solid playoff minutes off the

Bench and that’s that’s what the Hope should probably be I I do think they’re going to make a move I agree with you guys I I don’t see a a big needle mover but I do think there’s going to be opportunity to add a guy that could be

In that eight man playoff rotation when it all shakes out so uh we still got a week though I think you guys are absolutely wrong I think Deon and I have figured it out you guys are just missing the Mark we’re just going to trade for

Yanis okay so you’re TR you’re trading k for Giannis when Lindsay Smith is commanding oh man no we’re just gonna trade our second round picks it’s fine I’m kidding the Bucks already said yes and we’re going to celebrate with some Four Peaks beer there we go maybe we

Just tra some Peaks for Yannis I bet you they say yes for that we could what we’ll do is we’ll take the Suns Brew which is delightful but we’ll make it seem like it’s a bucks Brew on the outside they’re going to fall in love with the beer because it’s so tasty but

Then the Bucks Brew part of it will be like the icing on the cake that really seals the deal I lived in Milwaukee and they tell you oh Milwaukee beer t no no none of that beer is anywhere near as good as what they have at Four Peaks and

Believe me I drank a lot of Milwaukee beer when I was there underage but don’t you didn’t hear me say that uh but nothing like Four Peaks four PE literally the ad read says You must be 21 to drink four Peak here you must and we ask you please drink respons that’s

What I’m saying Four Peaks you wait you wait for Four Peaks you wait for the good stuff we’re gonna get an email tomorrow uh but make sure you visit for.com locator to find all your favorite beers and events and check them out on social at Four Peaks Brewer at

Healer River Resorts and casinos and let them show you what next level is all about ask them for the espo special they’ll look at you go we don’t know what the hell that is but we’ll still treat you well you do you at heiler River resorts in cinos visit

Play.com for more details all right so we briefly brought up the bench scoring and contributions tonight we cannot have a postgame show after this game without giving a little bit of love to our guy Josh AI everybody out here was cheering for Josh we got a three from him tonight

And we also got A3 from KB tell them why that’s important Flex you and I we’ve got our guys we got right I know that if Josh aogi hits a three it’s a good night for the Suns you know that if kbd hits a three it’s a good night for the Suns

Like we’re committed to this at this point we got it esbo looked at the stats though like we don’t care about the stats it’s all about Vibes for me and flex right here with these guys but let’s let’s look at the numbers there are numbers there are numbers let me say

This Lindsay’s vibe meter Works flexus doesn’t what it’s not bad yours isn’t bad they’re eight and seven when kbd hits a three and they were nine well now they’re 10 and four when Josh Ki hit hold hold hold hold better stat better stat terrible better stat look up what

Their record is when they both hit a three in the same game oh that’d be a good one flexx we’ll do that later I I do not have time to hand write things down like I do no no I don’t mean that now Gerald what do they what is

Off the top of your headt they undefeated right G basically me and Lindsay got to figure out Frank y’all better give us a call we got the whole thing I believe it’s like some of those solar eclipses that it happens once every 75 years both shut it

You’re a big old wet blanket right now me and lindzie got something going here I feel it yes but uh The Vibes are always Immaculate when you can get a j3 or kbd 3 it’s it’s always fun to watch those guys knock down those shots um for

Me specifically of course you guys know I’m obsessed with Josh shogi I love everything he brings to the game so hitting those shots are super fun but the energy the effort the hustle plays that we get from J night in and Night Out are also invaluable um so just want

To give a little love to Josh K we did we did have a Jo no moment though we did airball one of those nobody has there’s there’s a reason that we heat why are you the way that you are we do we there’s a reason

We have a a saying around here that we stick to Eric do you have that for the people we don’t talk about J no no no because when we do then he airballs one people are shouting knock down three-point shooter and then the poor guy can’t concentrate and he misses one

That was a heat check bro stick to the rules he had just got like a little 70 run by himself it was a heat check dog yeah a heat check I’m going keep my mouth shut I don’t talk about J no no right Nate said in the chat nobody asked

I’m I’m convinced it was Austin that said that and I’m convinced Austin is actually this actually Saul’s burner account I’m convinced of it I mad at that I don’t I feel like we always do this with jail where we talk about the three-point shooting but like that’s not

Not that’s just the extra that’s the sprinkle that’s not yeah that’s not even how I would start to eval like everyone’s going to focus on that because it’s glaringly obvious when he has a shot he needs to take or when he misses a bad three that’s like wide open

Or whatever and I I get that but like 11 points tonight seven rebounds 11 point seven rebounds last game like he was very efficient he’s been an energy guy he’s been starting to string together games just like Eric Gordon just like Drew Eubanks and that might be your

Eight-man rotation like it might be looking ahead to the playoffs so hopefully he can continue to do that yeah let me let me be clear amazing defensively his hustle his energy is Fant fantastic I we like to have a little fun when it comes to the three-point shooting yeah all right um

Let’s take a peek at some remaining super chats here Rome sent us two of them thank you Rome they said let’s try this again espo when roll guys play we win well they play every night it’s when they play well play well shout out Drew

EU Banks he has gone what is he now 20 for 22 in his last seven games pretty damn good and then Rome sent us another one they said Flex we take in a dub on the people back home let them know let them know I my phone blowing up the hell

With them Brooklyn cats go to sleep it’s late um okay two trade questions here from the super chats we got PHX Valley Champs they said Flex any trade updates will make the All-Star team and then uh khil sent us one and they said if low

Gets bought out can we get him no you can’t get low I’m sorry yeah Lowry can’t because of the he makes more than 12 men yeah he can’t get Lowry and then as far as trade updates guys listen we’re working on something coming up where we’re going to get into all this stuff

The suns are making calls they’re looking for an athletic Wing I spoke to someone close to the team today that told me they are looking at some backup point guards potentially um but it’s a fluid situation and it’s The Usual Suspects whether it’s the Roy o’neals of

The world the B Bridges the Nick Richards um you know there isn’t much for the Suns to try to go get at this point and they don’t have many assets so unless something changes drastically over the next week somebody potentially that they thought they can get a first

Round pick for it they realize they can’t and now they’ll take two or three seconds that changes things but we still got a week so when we as we get closer we’ll give you guys more of an update yes and then uh the very last thing that

I will we will leave you guys with is um two things so shout out to again everybody who came out to hang out with us at the watch party tonight it was a lot of fun we met a lot of new people who were able to join us and it was

  1. 35 assists. Compare that to the games when Book had great scoring nights… Move the ball, get everyone involved, and it will pay off on both ends of the floor with more energy and cohesiveness. Good team win

  2. I think we should pick up Lowry if he’s bought out , also maybe call Toronto about Schroeder ? Should be able to get him for cheap tbh

  3. Nurk Nurk Nurk. The team trusts Nurk. And Beal is a great team mate. He is a great guy. Never forget when someone heckled him and he just gave the guy big puppy eyes look and everyone just loved Beal after that.

  4. Media so annoying they seem hurt by what devin did and it shows how hateful they are towards a player just bc others don't like him doesn't mean you don't gotta….

  5. When you start to realize that the runs more optimally when KD is the focal point!!! Booker is an amazing scorer but the team isn't going anywhere with him dominating the ball!! We've seen this in the playoffs and this year!!!!!

  6. I think Lonnie Walker IV would be a great bench player for the Suns. Gordon, Metu, Eubanks and Lonnie. If PJ Tucker is available then add him to.

  7. Band nerd here. I hate to break your hearts, but sexy sax is a muted trumpet. The song opens with a sax, but the second part we all love is a muted trumpet.

  8. I feel like Suns fans are kinda being delusional, including this crew, to try avoiding the inevitable. We all know the Celtics have a better roster, are better defensively, are more efficient offensively (scoring from all levels).

    What you show in the regular season does matter because that’s where you see the weaknesses.

    This team has way too many weaknesses to be a credible threat to the likes of Boston, LA (Clippers), and Denver, especially on the defensive end. Let’s quit the denial here

  9. Phoenix suns James Jones got make sense of what the team need like bismack or kai Jones witch player would help Phoenix he seen what bismack can do that why he didn't sign him kai Jones more athletic and play good defense rebound that guy can play 3 4 or 5 right and a guard Jeremy lamb Kevin porter jr make sense

  10. Hate how Espo is always quick to disagree with Flex’s takes. Flex’s takes are true 99% of the time, but Espo always finds ways to complain.
