Suns’ Bradley Beal was locked in against the Wizards

Suns’ Bradley Beal was locked in against the Wizards

How’s this for a step wolf okay based on your reaction I don’t think you’re ready for any step the memories are starting to flood we may have lost we may have lost wolf here for a little bit how’s this uh for anybody that might be listening

Seven I want to make sure I have it right now yeah seven of the last 10 games that the Suns have played they’ve had somebody go off for at least 40 okay sounds like the big three that’s not normal like we’re kind of losing sight of that

I I don’t even know how you would look this up but like Devin Booker let’s say his rookie year because I don’t think he went off for 40 a whole lot his rookie year did the Suns have anybody go off for 40 points seven of the last 10 games

You have Booker with 52 Durant with 40 Durant with 43 Booker 46 Booker 62 again not normal Booker 44 against Orlando then they had a few games Miami Brooklyn Atlanta last week where they just had guys scoring in the mid-30s and then yesterday Bradley Beal gets in on the

Action with a season High 43 against his former team yeah he just absolutely went off and you you could see this coming a mile away could you not I mean here it is the Wizards would you say the Wizards struggle in terms of winning games yeah

The association yeah they were 9 and 39 going into yesterday’s game now they’re 9 and 40 Ron wolfley doing math reporting as well um look this was a situation where you could see this coming a mile away but until you do it you have to prove it and that’s exactly

What Bradley Beal did he proved it and so to the Phoenix Suns you could see they were trying to give Bradley Beal every opportunity in my opinion to go off sorry I’m just a little distracted because we have four TVs in the studio right okay they’re turned to four

Different sports stations I can tell you were distracted yes right well because Lincoln Riley’s on two of them but it’s two different interviews he’s somehow giving at the same time through the you know the the magic technology then on on a fourth TV you have like well they now

They’re doing the Pro Bowl games but they were talking Super Bowl but then on the TV on the far right it’s should Lebron leave the Lakers like just say you’re a Lakers show or station and just only talk Lakers goodness who cares if LeBron wants to leave the Lakers the

Week of the Super Bowl oh my goodness it is stunning is it not right now and you know what the herd I guess that’s live it says live up there that live he’s talking to Riley and NFL Network’s also talking to linoln there’s a lot of

Lincoln Riley talk okay a lot of Lincoln talk going on right now yes Cliff Kingsbury of course the new offensive coordinator for the Washington commanders but Bradley Beal we’re talking about Bradley Beal going off you know what he took 14 shots in the first half and book and KD had combined for 12

Well book picked up a foul every time he moved yesterday like if you want the perfect storm for Bradley Beal to go off he plays the way he did he’s facing his former team he clearly and and he made this clear you know months ago but especially after the game yesterday

Bradley Beal that he clearly has an emotional connection to that City and that fan base and then you have Devon Booker pick up like four fouls and eight seconds so that helped that opened the door for Beal too and not only that he played the most minutes of anybody in

That first half 19 minutes Bradley Beal so you could see the suns were making a concerted effort there’s no doubt about it and that’s okay you see the the welcome that Bradley Bill it was that was so well done by the wizard fans man so well done I just I was very very

Impressed man I didn’t hear any booing now you know how rare that is yeah that’s a good point but I didn’t hear any booing and I I didn’t see the tribute video if there was a tribute video there was like the beginning of the game yeah I did not see it all right

I didn’t see KDs either until later I’m just admitting it all right before the game the Brooklyn Nets game Paul calvisi was all over me kicking me repeatedly in the Cradle about not seeing it I feel like you g probably had some built up uh get getting back at Wolf that Paul Cal’s

Built up over the years no look be you have to you have to kind of look at it from that fan bases perspective I mean he was in Washington longer than Devon Booker’s been a son you know it’s not like he he bounced around play you know

KD has played in a few Bradley Beal spent his entire career it was 11 years with Washington years yeah right um he talked about returning to DC and for me it’s tonight was awesome um you know to be back in a city that has you know

Helped me grow as a man you know from a drafted me on my 19th birthday um being here for 11 years it was it a lot of good memories man and that tribute video was awesome I was I was more than appreciative of it it just

Reminded me of everything on and off the floor um that I’ve contributed and and encountered and just took a moment to embrace it be a little selfish in in that regard and just Embrace what I’ve done here and uh tonight was awesome tonight was awesome you could have

Played that c I was hoping he was I thought it was knowled there was a tri before I asked you that you couldn’t have played Luke Linsky for okay where’s the fun in that I I was hoping he was going to say that tribute video that

Wolf didn’t watch was awesome but he he left that part out Bradley did yeah you know what Bradley uh 26 points in the first half went off and you were thinking oh my goodness um he’s going to go for a 60 burger that was not the case

Of course uh 26 though after the first half did finish with 43 Ron Wolly report on 76% shooting from the field he was locked in man and you know it’s interesting with Bradley Beal you have to wonder he they actually had his they had a a do we have the

Sound of Bradley Beal walking in to the arena do we have that s see I should never ask a question I don’t know the answer to it twice you’ve done in the last two minutes just never ask a question you don’t know the answer to you be a great lawyer walk up

Prosecuting attorney ask a question the witness is like no that didn’t happen oh well I guess I’ll go sit back down you can’t handle the truth right I’d be yelling at some point in time in the courtroom I I just I see the judge and he’s banging the gavl at some point in

Time and telling me to calm down um you know what there was a clip of Bradley Beal before the game and he was intense brothers and the clip was about I got got to get going I I got to get going and that it was I I I had the feeling

When he was saying that Brothers he was not just saying that about that game he was saying it about period he’s got to get going get himself going as well and be more aggressive man did we see that it would make sense and hopefully this ends up being the case like we talked

About when the sons lost to Dallas on Christmas day they 15 and six since then we talked about going into the Lakers game when they started to get everybody healthy hey this this would make a lot of sense to be a turning point for them and then they rattled off seven straight

Wins it would make sense Bradley Beal gets going in Washington against his former team again it’s got to be he clearly loves it here he’s loved it here since day one but it’s got to be kind of weird your first year after your 11year career with another team and now you’re

On this new team and you’re kind of the third option Bradley Beal’s averaging 18 points a game game this season he’s not too far removed from a couple 30 point plus Seasons where he was averaging that so if he gets going I mean that’s the

Last not that he’s been bad but if he gets going that’s sort of the last piece to figuring out what this team ceiling is agreed thanks for watching wolf and Luke tap to see more and click the button in the middle to subscribe to Arizona Sports
