How the Phoenix Suns UNLOCK their full potential π
The suns are a better team when Nur on the floor there’s a reason why when he doesn’t play they don’t win games I think I think I they’re on four when he doesn’t play um and so the proofs right in front of you man this guy’s a terrific basketball player and
Offensively he does wonders for this basketball team MCO we also got to give another flower to nerk who I believe for the second time in a row is our pH and X Factor of the game maybe third time nerer I don’t know was it second or third time in a row nur’s been on one lately though yeah
N been hooping he finished with 18 points eight assists and 13 rebounds in here also snuck in a steel yeah this is he’s been able to show this over the last month with the big three consistently healthy but this is why early in the season when he was
Struggling to finish I was kind of pushing back like okay he’s not being optimized right now his optimal role is when those three guys are out there as a connector as the guy who’s going to get a lot easier looks around the rim than he’s been getting so far with one or two
Of them out there and we’re starting to see that now and he’s been able to string together a lot of good performances um and again continues to be the Suns leader in net rating in plus minus when he’s on the court the suns are a wildly better team and part of
That is because you know their backups have been a little inconsistent this season but nerk has been the fit that the Suns have envisioned he’s got his flaws he’s not perfect but he is really good when those three are out there and he’s a really nice complimentary piece
Yeah I mean he almost had triple double at the half you mentioned that right he almost had triple double at the half he’s definitely a connector and that glue guy and the suns are better like everything everything Gerald said the suns are a better team when nurs on the
Floorida there’s a reason why when he doesn’t play they don’t win games I think I think I their own four when he doesn’t play um and so the proofs right in front of you man this guy’s a terrific basketball player and offensively he does wonders for this basketball team now again to
Gerald’s point he’s not perfect like he’s got his flaws and there’s going to be times where you’re gonna look at nerk and say okay this team is taking advantage of his slow footedness on defense or his not inability to uh you know cre uh drop to to uh coverage up
Top perimeter coverage up top in the pick and row but other than that I mean for all that I take I think he brings more positives than negatives to the basketball team and so that’s why I like ner I think with nerk though even though he’s not perfect I think one of the
Things you can point out as a positive within that too is that he does realize his limitations yeah so there’s not going to be like hurt feelings or a bruised ego if the team has to turn away from him into something else because it’s not working that’s right and I
Think that in and of itself is a positive yeah absolutely let me ask you a question if I if I tell you a guy that scores 15 to 20 points can lead the team and assists isn’t great on defense all the time who do you think
Of the answer is Steve Nash and uh Yousef nkic damn okay and Yousef nerk no but look I love what he can do passing the ball that this team was built on the idea of you don’t need a traditional point guard because you have so many guys that are
Smart in passing the basketball uh and especially when you get in those halfcourt situations with with nerk Beal book KD to an extent when when they’re playing like this you see it and you go okay I I I get this I get how nerk has that Court Vision that really helps so
This is the kind of game and I get it it’s the wizards but we’ve seen this against better competition too where these guys share the ball with vision and and this whole offense makes a lot more sense
