Devin Booker, Drew Eubanks & the Phoenix Suns dealt with a lot of drama last night | PHNX Suns
N Welcome in everybody we had to make up for some Miss sexy sacks last night but thank you for joining us for the phnx gun podcast I’m Lindsay that’s ESO that’s Flex you guys last night was Valentine’s Day but there was no love in the footprint center from the Detroit bu
Or the rest or the Phoenix Suns let’s talk about it but first let’s let it ride just a little bit so we can get our sexy sexy Sag es don’t get up I can’t in this room it’s too tiny he’s in the Clos weird dance weird dancing in this little box too just not a lot of room you got to keep it right here just a little shoulder shimmy it’s safer for you it’s
Safer for you do it is you are correct oh my goodness you guys the drama that happened last night can you believe it oh my gosh we were at our takeover and we all got the Shams notification and I won’t lie I had to look like three times to make sure I
Wasn’t getting trolled by a fake Shams account because it was all like Drew Eubanks and Isaiah Stewart just got into a Kur fuffle in the tunnel and and Isa Stewart punched Drew Eubanks in the face and I’m like bro what what is this life we are living what was y’all’s initial
Reaction crazy I mean I I was shocked I’m like damn but I mean you know unfortunately this things like this happen more often than people think just not to this level but there’s little things that happen in the tunnel before games people would talk trash but yeah homie sucker punching a
Guy that’s a whole different level things right and and so yeah I was shocked I I mean I was certain when we talked at the Takeover I went right to espo and I’m like something had to have happened in that first game in Detroit what yeah it it what though yeah I I
Think it’s I think it’s between the lines I think you know there was probably some things said between the lines that my man Isaiah Stewart just ain’t going for and he used that opportunity to do this and that’s that’s not a good look for him that’s just not
A good look for him I think it’s something between the ears I don’t think it’s between the lines that I mean the whole thing is so bizarre and I’ve heard of a lot of weird things going on we’ve seen guys Chase guys down tunnels but we’ve never heard I mean the I believe
It was the the Phoenix police’s statement said it happened right near the the parking area in the arena which means Eubanks probably was walking in uh and Stuart either had just in or walked off the bus obviously speculation I don’t know exactly what it is but h no
Understanding level zero there at the footprint what in the hell leads up to just getting there going chest to chest and sucker punching a guy is beyond me I mean there’s got to be something massively massively wrong yeah for that for that to happen and play out
That way and that I I just at some point we talked about it before the league needs to look at the the mental health of these guys and address if somebody needs help how do you make sure they actually get it rather than giving some kind of half-ass suspension take a
Vacation and come back kind of move because something has to be going on to to have this happen the Draymond stuff all those things to lead to this uh that’s that’s a question I think we’re going to start hearing more over at least we should is how do we prevent
This not not just these kind of altercations but help these guys in the mental space as well because this is a grind I get everybody’s like oh they’re they’re athletes they fly private they they stay in the nicest hotels it is a grind you are away from from your
Support system a lot of times you know money at a young age can do weird things to people have how do we make sure that these these guys uh get get support that they need because it takes a lot for for somebody to go off in that kind of way
And have some of the Draymond things happen let’s let’s think about that as well yeah what do you think Lance I mean I think it’s a it’s an onion there’s a lot of layers to this um both from the mental health kind of side of it and then also from setting a
Precedence for just violence within the league in general regardless of which place we’re discussing it at um I know somebody in the chat said uh Jan Paul Edwards said make the game more physical like you just need to figure out what that line is from a physicality perspective and then why it’s bleeding
Off the court at times as well like you can’t let somebody get away like to go back to the Draymond thing right behind the scenes violence at a practice this is behind the scenes now too but all of it becomes public like there’s just a lot of layers that
Need to probably be dissected here and discussed and try to come up with some sort of a solution that that helps all of this but until then we’ll continue to talk about it as it unfolds because it seemingly happens more and more often uh the Suns did out did put out a statement
Last night shortly after the incident went public they said the attack on Drew Eubanks was unprovoked and acts of violence such as this are unacceptable we unequivocally support Drew and will continue to work with local law enforcement and the NBA so that was put out pretty early by
The Suns I want to say less than like an hour and some change after this whole incident kind of popped off um M Mike Curtis on Twitter also shared a kind of statement from mon Williams he asked Monty if there was anything he could share about the incident and Monty said
I can’t I know there were some statements put out the thing for me is to get all of the information and make sure I’m clear on what happened the NBA will do an investigation I’ve talked to stee he shared with me what happened our people have talked to him and they have
Information but for me to come here and make a statement that would be a bit irresponsible I know the sons put out a statement and said it was unprovoked I think that that is irresponsible for them to do that when you know they don’t really know because two sides are giving
Their story I think until you find out everything you can’t make these statements I heard about that and I just thought that did not need to happen I think there is a time for information to be gathered and then you can make a statement for me it’s let’s get all the
Information the league will do its due diligence and it’ll come up with something it’s just one of those situations that we just have to wait and see oh man man complains about former employer who fired him is what I heard in that look the sons watched that video
The Suns before they put out any statement knew what they were doing because legally they don’t put that out unless they’re comfortable with it a and who had access to the tape easily most easily the Suns because it was in their Arena there’s cameras all over the place
On on level zero they they watched that before then and they cleared it with their lawyers there must be uh irrefutable evidence that it was unprovoked for them to put that out because you open yourself up to potential liable things all sorts of stuff by putting out a statement like
That without doing due diligence between when the incident happened and when you release the statement so well and Shams even in his initial tweet said the video would be delivered to the NBA for them to review so if Shams is tweeting that out and when we first all heard about it
The Suns have already seen that video Yeah multiple times you know what I mean and it’s been circulated between all the head brass and everyone who needs to see it and then the statement came out an hour and some change later so it had been a fair amount of time between the
Initial incident happening and when the statement came out I would think they would have had enough time to review the footage talk with the league and at least a general sense of it and talk with your Eubanks and and maybe some people over in h Detroit’s camp but yeah
I don’t think it’s irresponsible to put out that statement and I also think that you do have to support your guys you know what I mean like I don’t blame Monty for wanting to support uh Isaiah Stewart because that’s his guy but the Suns also have to do the same thing for
Drew Eubanks yeah I I couldn’t agree more um I think the Suns put out the statement because they got the video evidence and it was clear as day and they they felt comfortable saying what they said I do agree with Monty I think that there is a time where you have to
See the entire picture and and get both sides of the story so he’s defending his guy and and he wants the whole thing to come out um it’s it I again I I we don’t know what really happened like we we just know that this guy got sucker
Punched yeah all I will say is that we do know just like Deon in the chat brings up the cops arrested one and didn’t the other they saw what happened so Mark mclone posted after the game breaking news from a family Phoenix police arrested Isaiah Stewart for assaulting Drew Eubanks Stewart would
Was issued a citation and released the investigation remains active so clearly there is some information for people who are above our pay grade to be able to make an arrest and issue a citation now whether it goes anywhere else from there remains to be seen but to me if I’m
Reading the tea leaves and between the lines Isaiah Stewart was in the wrong here of course I mean he was arrested he he he he committed potentially felony assault when you punch somebody you we can have a disagreement at work you can have a disagreement in your house you
Can have a disagreement at a party with friends you can have verbal disagreements but when when it gets to the point where you just say Okay bang I’m just going to punch you in the face that’s a whole different level of thing and so I think what M you know Monty’s probably leaning
Towards well we don’t know what was said did did Eubank say something because the camera picks up action but we don’t know if the camera could pick pick up verbally that’s probably where he’s leaning I if I had to guess he’s leaning towards Isaiah Stewart said hey he said
Something to me that crossed the line and I punched him in the face that’s probably where this is going but that doesn’t that doesn’t mean that it’s right I’m just saying that that’s probably where Monte is going yeah but even from that perspective and again I understand Monty has to have his guys
Back to an extent here right but yeah regardless of what Drew Eubank said the act of violence is the problem the words a problem in of themselves but again yeah yeah I I mean my problem with Monty’s statement is saying the suns were irresponsible with yeah I don’t
Like back your guy support your guy say we’ll wait till the evidence I mean that’s all boilerplate stuff that you got to say in that kind of situation but saying it was irresponsible for the Suns of make that statement is where I I think it crosses the line I’ve sat in
That room I’ve I’ve sat with PR people and Communications people uh in that building on how do we how do we address this what do we say what can’t we say how do we say it I mean there was the morai uh morai situation I was in there
When they crafted that statement and uh stuff that went down with uh with Michael Beasley there I I’ve seen how it operates you don’t just put that out there uh half they knew what they were doing there and then to the well he may have said something I got a
Seven-year-old that you talk about that stuff in elementary school how you handle verbal conflict and what do you say you don’t punch the other person in in the face like that’s not what you do so I mean even if that is the defense of Isaiah Stewart that shows a problem and
A pattern with is Isaiah Stewart’s behavior in and of itself you know yeah so we also got a little bit of clarity of on the situation a little bit from Drew Eubanks himself so Gerald after all of us learning about the incident went into the locker room during the
Availability time pregame and spoke with Drew and Drew said basically Al we were walking in words were said and then got face to face and he sucker punched me then security got in the way um now Gerald did tell us that it’s unclear what words were exchanged to escalate
The situation and Eubank said that he didn’t have any prior beef with Stuart in the past just the basketball side of things um stuff that goes down on the court but then Drew Eubanks also added in because he was asked if he is okay from the punch he said no I’m straight
Soft punch which um listen you can feel whatever way you want about it but soft punch has become a life of its own on social media at this point it’s probably going to be a little bit of a tagline that’ll stick with the Suns for at least
The rest of the season yeah I mean what yeah I mean he’s gonna handle it like a man man Drews he all indications is he took the punch he didn’t even Flinch he he ate it um they’re gonna ask him if he wants to file criminal charges he’s
Probably say no NBA is going to find and suspend Isaiah Stewart and Eubanks is going to come out looking like a chant because the players don’t want you filing these type of charges if you do that then you’re like oh you’re not really about it or you’re the outsider
That’s how this that’s that’s how it is KD hinted at it you know we’re a Brotherhood this shouldn’t be happening no one should be punching anybody but ultimately this is just gonna be one of them things where I think the NBA suspends him and finds him Drew’s gonna
Look like a champ he ate that punch that’s a big boy too so I mean I mean Isaiah’s a big boy if I if Drew ate that punch I’m impressed man he should get in the boxing yeah I I had actually heard Isaiah had done some professional
Fighting or or amateur fighting too so it it sounds like a guy who knows how to throw a punch too which uh yeah makes it it makes it a little more impressive uh what Drew was able to do yeah I mean it’s unfortunate guys you KD made it
Very clear and and this is what second this is right off the Draymond punching uh pull and practice like that was recent and now you do this um it’s just yeah you got to understand it is a Brotherhood you all come and play the same sport you all make money you all
Take care of your family you go out there when you get out in there between the lines you compete no one’s trying to hurt nobody no one’s trying to you know jeopardize someone’s career you punch a guy like that Draymond punch I mean I’m telling y’all that that video was bad I
Mean that also felt like a sucker punch to me that was a sucker punch and and when like when I saw the video a part of me is like damn like who was the guy uh that hit Tom jonovic espo um uh it was uh Kermit Washington Kermit Washington
Spine he he he actually had bleeding from his brain and ended his career so yeah this ain’t cool man like you gotta chill but the NBA got to do a better job of getting these guys under control and whatever issues they’re dealing with man they got to get they got to get helpful
It yeah so we do have go ahead I was just say I guarantee we see that video sometime early next week I would bet the league does everything in their power to make sure it doesn’t come out during allar weekend but I I I bet we probably
See it Monday from like a TMZ sports and we’ll we’ll all see exactly what the footage shows I I I’m almost willing to guarantee yeah I’m pretty certain on that but in the mean time Shams did give us a little bit of insight as to what
He’s hearing that the video does show so last night Isaiah Stewart was arrested for assault he was released they they gave the police Phoenix police gave him a citation the NBA itself has also launched an official review of the incident and they’ve gotten security footage in that multiple people with
Direct knowledge of the situation told me that this is what took place this is what that footage will show Isaiah Stewart Drew Eubanks were in the back h always pregame exchanged some words and it really stemed from their last game against each other in Detroit November
5th they were chest to chest uh Isaiah Stewart dropped his bags and punched Drew Eubanks in the face amid their exchanging of words and them coming chest to chest um I’m told Drew Eubanks was punched in the mouth area and from what I’m told the footage will show Drew
Eubanks barely flinched uh he stood there Stone Cold took the punch obviously ly and police security got involved separated them and police had a Stewart escorted out of the Arena so this is really in the hands of local law enforcement their investigation which is active as well as uh the League’s
Investigation that’s going to you know now take place over the coming uh days and week so I think it’s safe to say ASO like you guys were saying um Drew kind of just took one on the chin and moved right along with his life and and like you said we’ll probably eventually get
To see this video as a group and then we’ll probably talk about it one more time when that happens but Flex you also brought up what KD was talking about after the game in terms of this incident here here’s what he had to say for all
Of us to hear yeah keep the game first I mean it’s a lot of noise around our game a lot of that comes with being an NBA player you keep the main thing the main thing um and all of that stuff will fade away unfortunate what happened
Before the game um it supposed to be a Brotherhood um but also understand dud get into stuff and stuff may happen but you know we try to avoid that in this league but happens and hopefully we can move on from it and um we all support Drew with got Drews back and you
Know he move past it yeah so it kind of seems like even some of the guys around the league are a little bit surprised by all of the um EX exessive frustration and trash talking and how it’s gotten to an escalated level because like like Katie said it’s
A brotherhood like we shouldn’t be having this level of of tension and beef within our our sport no no and it’s been like it this goes back to like street ball this goes back to when these kids were kids playing street ball and local gyms you know these a lot of times these
Guys are surrounded in in bad neighborhoods and when you go to play basketball in the inner city you know as soon as you step in between them lines this is about basketball and you taught that from a very young age and so at this point when you get to the
Professional level you should be beyond that stuff it happens at a lower level you know more often than people think but yeah at a pro level you gotta you got to chill with that stuff so no it’s it’s never cool and uh I mean I’m interested to see what the League’s
Gonna do um I’m sure there’ll be a suspension I sure I’m sure there’ll be a fine but at some point picky backing off the Draymond thing at some point I think there needs to be like I’ll give youall an example when the fight happened with Phoenix and
The Knicks back in the day in 9293 and and both benches cleared and Greg Anthony came and suck a punch KJ and Street closed and cut his eye open that was the beginning of the new era of basketball where they implemented if you move a inch Off the Bench you are
Suspended and you’re going to so something like this needs to happen like it’s like yo if you have any type of physical confrontation like that where charges abroad or anything like that it’s got to be significant it’s got to be significant enough where these guys are like okay because Isaiah just signed
A $68 million contract like I I’m I’m and again I’m just throwing that out there he just signed a 68 million dollar contract and so you know if you suspend them for a significant amount of time and you hurt wallet I I just don’t feel like a
$100,000 and $50,000 is bothering a guy when you sign 60 7080 million deals so that’s what I’m saying be real about it really hit them and then that should have stopped yeah I mean if if you’re if they want to take it serious I’m not convinced that they want to take it
Seriously because you look at the Draymond punishment it’s like oh out inde definitely and then it’s like oh he’s better now he can come back like it’s I’m not convinced that they care to do what it would take to actually stop some of these incidences and and that’s
Going to be what it comes down to the best part of this though the only positive that comes out of it is we get two nicknames Stone Cold Drew Eubanks and uh soft punch Stewart like it’s so I love that we have two other two great
Nicknames to come out of this you know and and Drew Eubanks will forever be stone cold in my mind after that yeah definitely the last thing about this before we move on to the next topic is a super chat from Frank and Frank said that brother needs help

With it no I can cold said so I love it there you go I love it that’s perfect all right guys the drama did not end there it trickled over into the game but the drama that we’re going to talk about next is between Devin Booker and NBA officials
So much drama so like barely five minutes into the game last night Devin Booker got tossed okay everybody in the entire Arena erupted in ref’s you suck chance which they absolutely deserved last tonight because for one again like we’ve talked about this so many times people pay good money to
Go to NBA games to watch Superstars play basketball they don’t go to watch NBA referees be all up in their feelings and last night’s game is one of the more egregious ones in my opinion because it was one of probably the more affordable games of the season because of who we
Were playing right so I’m just gonna get that out of the way that that’s super annoying and I hate that but what makes it even worse is that we got the poll report from Kellen Olsson he was a poll reporter last night and he asked the officials why was Devin Booker assessed
His first technical foul and they said for continual complaining and after he’d been warned he continued to complain again towards a game official and then the second question again is so the second technical foul that got him ejected was that just a continuance again for the second and they said no
The second technical foul was for disparaging remarks he made towards a game official and then he was ejected for the second one and I’m just like what could Devon have said unless it was like literal threats of violence or something of that sort there is nothing
In my book that warrants if you’re just talking out of frustration throwing a few F bombs in here and there that doesn’t warrant being tossed in my opinion because again it’s not about the officials and their feelings it’s about the fans who paid good money to watch Superstars play this basketball game and
Now they don’t get to see that yeah listen I’m I’m not I I know what Devin said and he shouldn’t have gotten kicked out he shouldn’t have gotten kicked out I I listen it’s stuff that people say all the time in basketball games and if you’re gonna kick Devin out
For apparently what he said a guy like Draymond Green should get kicked out 82 games a year because all he does is say like that for the entire time he’s playing so I I think it was it was terrible it was foolish I think that NBA referees need to be held accountable
When they do things like this um that was egregious it bothers the hell out of me because I was that kid that would go to one NBA game a year when I was my my family had the money to take me and especially for instance I lived in New
Jersey I was a Sons fan they only came to town one time a year and so if I went to a son’s game and my brothers and sisters paid money to get me in the building and and my favorite player Devin Booker or Charles Barkley at the
Time got kicked out in five minutes that’s devastating and especially for some kids that may never go back I know kids that have went to one basketball game their whole life so that’s super that’s that’s super that pisses me off to no end and the ref’s got to be better
And it’s one of those moments where you’re like you feel cheated like you Jeff you as a family as a kid as an organization you feel cheated and yeah that that was terrible well there was even a kid there at the game who had a
Sign that said I came all the way from Spain oh my God you just broke my that kid that’s that kid who now gets to go home whose family probably saved up a boatload of money to be able to come to Phoenix across the world to watch these
Games and watch Devon play and didn’t get to have that I didn’t see that but that breaks my heart all because some officials wanted to get all up in their feelings and have a I’m I’m in power here more yeah well I mean we we met a couple fans
Uh and their son who came down from the Northwest uh to see the game I had somebody tell me they were sitting near a kid and and a parent who came from England like I’m sorry but the MBA deserves a refund to anybody that’s was in that Arena last night and had to
Watch Devin Booker one of the biggest stars in the game uh arguably a top 10 guy in the league a guy that’s going to be playing an All-Star Sunday get thrown out that fast for continually complaining if that were the standard Luca wouldn’t play a game he’d have to
Go back to Europe star would play any game thank you I’m sorry and then it’s just ridiculous that we’ve gotten to a point where a bunch of guys and and women who wear a gray shirt with a number on the back no name wind up interjecting themselves so damn much
Into these games that that it actually impact s the enjoyment it impacts the results it is immensely ridiculous that they’re taking over the spotlight because they have thin skin there I I stand by there should be five words you know five or six words that are on a
List that if those are said you get tossed and that everybody share that yeah you share that with the players you share that with the organization so everyone knows exactly what the line is because the line moving night toight based on someone’s emotional state is BS
Yeah right right and like I said I I spoke with someone yesterday I was close enough to hear what Devin said and again I’m not going to get into it but I I can assure you it was nothing that you don’t hear constantly in a basketball game
There was nothing egregious it was just you know typical yeah I that’s that’s a bad call like you know what I’m saying those type of things and uh that ref got too sensitive and you make a great Point espo those fans should be uh refunded they should and and and I think a
Portion of that refund should come from that ref uh pocketbook you know his wallet um I said pocketbook but it can go either way right but yeah you get what I mean like it should come from them like at what point are we gonna hold these dudes accountable they have
Control of the entire game like even the foul situation like it’s it’s just it’s getting to a point where there’s no accountability and this is why there are people that believe in conspiracy theories around referees in the NBA because you look at stuff like this and immediately I was hearing people
Chirping what ref bet on this game tonight what bet you know what ref had Devon on the under theight because five minutes into a basketball game that’s egregious man that’s crazy the problem too is you bring up the betting I apologize Lindsay you bring up that’s a big
Deal and now that the leagues are in bed with with the sports books which I have no problem with leagues taking that money but now it opens up a whole world of other questions that you have to actually answer you have to address headon and if your refs are putting
Themselves so much into games that people are questioning it that is a problem and I don’t care you know a a missed call uh a bad call that happens every once in a while will happen because these are humans but we’ve seen over the last two or three years it get
Progressively worse the late whistle all these things that are happening I mean we saw the Knicks game they admitted right after the game that it was not a foul that it should not have been free throws that the Knicks should have won a game like this is problematic to a point
Where it could cause major issues because of legalized Sports gambling as well and it’s nothing to do with the sports books they have nothing to do with it it’s a league problem and for a league that’s as Progressive as the NBA Adam Silver needs to deal with this and
And just say you know what we’re not happy with where this is at and we are going to fix this and figure out a way to go directly at the refs where it hurts you miss a call in that two-minute final last two-minute report you’re going to get you’re going to lose money
You you have an egregious suspense or ejection that the league determines you are going to lose money or get suspended there needs to be a path to uh to punishing a punitive path uh to punish these uh these refs for it to actually make sense to them because it doesn’t
Right now it’s pretty obvious you know what else is the most egregious part of this in my book from everything I’m hearing and everything I understand this game that book got ejected last night from counts as a missed game for him when it comes to NBA awards at the end
Of the season so book has now officially missed 11 games this season and that’s that’s unacceptable because it’s not now listen if book had done something that we all feel warranted getting ejected like hitting a player or something of that sort I understand that but based off the pool report and
Everything we’ve heard I don’t think this warranted an ejection so now he also loses that and that is the worst part of this whole situation and it makes me wonder if the league comes out and maybe tweaks the rule because I don’t know if this is happened yet in
Another um in any other game I know some stars have been ejected throughout the season but I wonder if the league looks into okay maybe ejection shouldn’t count depending on what the ejection was for or how they go about figuring that situation out because that should definitely not count against book no no
And it there’s a magnitude of things ly you you you it counts against the awards games miss it counts against your averages like and your averages are how you get those Awards and so he played five minutes thankk God he scored seven points because if he would have scored
Zero points it would have made all his averages dip and so there’s so many layers to this it it’s it’s a terrible look they need to be held accountable and until they’re held accountable this isn’t Gonna Change uh there was plenty of people talking about how some referee
Like good point I think uh Eric just put some uh ejection shouldn’t come from one ref never I agree never you should have never have one ref one ref shouldn’t be able to kick a guy out it has to be multiple referees or vice versa but yeah
It’s just it’s terrible and I would hate for book to miss out on award and we look back at something like this and it’s like oh he missed one more game and yeah that’s te I wonder if they can appeal that I wonder if that’s one of
Those things where a player can actually appeal whether he’s you know whether the game is taken away from him or not I gotta find that out but it’s terrible across the board I think that they can challenge it yeah I would hope so why what I don’t understand is okay so the
Game doesn’t count towards the award right but you’re going to count those stats towards his average exactly why why can why would you count those stats towards the average if in the minds of of the NBA and the voters that he no longer gets credit for that game that’s
That’s crap correct because it’s unintended consequences they didn’t think through all of this they didn’t think through how setting this limit which I still am in support of a limit of some sort the number that it’s at right now I don’t think works but they didn’t really think through all of the
Other things that it would open the door for like that one espo where if the game doesn’t count then the averages shouldn’t count against him either that’s right that’s right I didn’t play a game you’re not you telling me I didn’t play a game that’s what you’re
Telling me I I physically didn’t play a game so my stat shouldn’t count and Lind I’m gonna ask you this because I think we talked about this at the previous show um there is a there is a guideline about how many minutes you have to play
It’s 20 20 so are they saying it doesn’t count because he was below 20 minutes or are they saying it doesn’t count because of the two ejection because it was below 20 minutes so that’s why it doesn’t count because they’re trying so they put that 20 minute threshold because they’re
Trying to avoid like the Mel Bridges thing where you just check in you play a possession you play three four minutes you check out got it I’m sorry like and even that doesn’t make sense that doesn’t make sense if you’re okay if you’re ejected I’m sorry that game counts it’s
Not like you’re circum like just like just like if I get injured in a game that game should count because I I played in it and I couldn’t do anything about getting injured right but like it’s ridiculous that I get don’t just check him in and then sit him on the
Bench to try to circum vate event the room the rule right that’s that’s fine but and try to break the spirit of the rule but getting ejected is not the same thing as that I no it’s dumb the whole thing sucks um but here’s what Frank vogle had to say about the
Ejection maybe maybe not yeah they just said he you know they asked him to stop whatever his complaint was and he didn’t stop so they teed him up and then he said something else to the other official and you R him out just freaking ridiculous total BS um you know to take
A star player out of the game I’ve seen see worse worse than what he did on a nightly basis like like not I’ve seen it before I see it every night so unprecedented those are good good officials um that were on the game tonight but you know that was certainly uncalled for
NBS I’m laughing because he checked his F he he made sure he he said what he said and then he said but they good fish you a good job tonight because he don’t want to get that fine but he he said exactly what we said right you hear that
All the time we’re seeing more and more of it from across the league I mean did you guys see tyou last night yes in the hallway screaming like they cheating over here something like that he’s G fine for that for sure but I mean that’s
The that’s the worst part is I feel like I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this many people collectively in organizations and outside like fan bases talk about officiating to this extent this year agree it’s out of control it’s out it’s out of control and it needs to
Be something needs to happen because it’s costing people games like had the Suns lost last night thank God they won but had they lost last night it would have been worse yeah and with how close to Western conferences like you look at that Nick game the other day you know
The Knicks are fighting for positioning in the East um when it starts costing real it’s just a bad look it’s it’s not good for basketball and they need they need to find a way to figure this out yeah I like this sorry go ahead I was just gonna say they’ve had coaches uh
Lose their mind I mean Mike Mike Brown the coach in uh in Toronto like this this has gone beyond the normal right when when when these coaches are are going you know what fine I’m gonna I’m gonna spend some money because you know Frank knew the second he said it was
Total BS I see guys do other he knew he was getting fined he walked that line at the end because he didn’t want it to escalate to 25 50,000 like smaller F yeah but he knew he was getting fined and when coaches are like you know what
I’m all right with losing money because this is such crap there there’s a there’s just a fundamental problem right yeah okay we have two two two super chats about this um Isa sent us one and they said ref should be subbed out for a full quarter
After they issue a text so they can cool off also players should never be ejected for verbal stuff again I think I agree pretty much on that statement from the verbal side of things unless literal threats are being thrown out I don’t think that they should be ejected just
For having um expressing frustration through words about a situation on the court but I love this idea about them being subbed out for a minute to allow them to cool off because that I think is one of the issues here is it starts to build and build and then the refs want
To start their dominance and that’s an issue that’s a major issue and then go ahead no go ahead go ahead I was gonna move on go ahead all right true active sent us one and they said do you know how the rule works for say role players because
They don’t usually play 20 minutes so what’s their threshold if they get ejected I would say most role players aren’t up for NBA awards correct so it doesn’t really affect them in the way that it would affect stars in the league correct yeah yeah so I mean they they
Would they would be held to the same same standards basically if they were talking about Awards though but because usually we don’t see that happen I don’t think it really affects them in the same way yeah all right well while we’re talking about Devon Booker he also got
To see his former coach Monty Williams he made his return to the valley last night we’ll give Monty a moment here on the program because he said some really nice things about Devon Booker coach would want to be a part of you know you want to be a part of winning
You want to be a part of a great team and if you have a chance to be around a special player that’s like icing on the cake um when I got here he was he was ready for whatever step that was going to be and I had no idea what it would be
Like um I think the moment for me when I realized how different he was was in the bubble and he hit that shot against the Clippers because I didn’t even call the play for him and he didn’t get upset or anything like that he just was like okay
Coach because I just thought they were going to take him out and I ran a back door for male and it didn’t work out book got the ball and that was it and I remember like you know doing whatever dance I did on the side and I just thought to myself
This dude is he’s different and I got to get out of his way more that was some of the thought process that I was going through and then you just saw it you know and now he’s got his own shoe and he’s become this you know I watch it from afar and I’m
Like that was a pretty cool time in my life you know and you think it was 10 12 years it was only four years you know what I’m saying he just did a lot in four years and um his dad and his mom and his family I know they’re they’re
Proud of him and he’s he’s got a ways to go you know and he works his tail off and I watch him I watch his mannerism now watch him you know lose it every once in a while and he doesn’t have me over there to tell him like cut it
Out you know from time to time he’d look over at me to see if I was going to say something and I’d be like stop you know and um you know you missed that right but at the same time I didn’t want to get in the way of it because I you know
When you’re around greatness you got to let it do what it’s going to do and just write it out breaking news Williams says says that Devin Booker got thrown out because he wasn’t on the sideline to stop it okay that’s literally what I was gonna say since we’re already talking about drama
Can I create some drama like was that lowkey shade at Frank Bogle kind of sounded that way to me I mean that’s what hey if it walk like a duck and a quack like a Doug lens you know what we say don’t call it a dinosaur that’s
Right he I mean that felt like shade to me like hey that guy that guy over there is not me he don’t know how to handle Devon that’s kind of crazy but um everything else was really cool I didn’t like that that comment but everything
Else was pretty cool um I liked how he talked about you know knowing book was was that guy and he was different in the bubble so shout out to Monty I love coach Monty man good fan can I pick one bone not about what he said I I I
Appreciate it I agree during his tribute video right they run it he notices he’s on the big screen he does not even give the customary just little hand wve right they’re not coaching they’re not he’s not in a huddle it literally is before the game and he’s just kind of standing
There with the clipboard walking around a little bit give the fans a you know who applauded you there were no booze everything was was copae give them a little wave and and acknowledge that they’re acknowledging you that’s it that’s all yeah I agree I agree I agree
Um I don’t know it’s just a lot of weirdness within that one there um but I thought that was interesting also I love that Frank is not afraid to get a tech for his guys I’m just throwing that out there if we’re throwing shade around let
Me throw that piece of Shade that’s what Frank should have replied with said know he did did you see him on the court after book uh book he went out there and he showed hey Monty this is how you defend your player you don’t have to
Wait for the tape you can go out there and show your frustration that’s that’s exactly what he did yeah I mean listen shout out to Monty for all he did for the organization for uh putting in the hard work here with the Suns but I’m sorry he’s no longer in our Inner Circle

You go all right guys uh next up we did get a an announcement that is completely drama free this is the only segment in the show that doesn’t have drama yet anyway unless we create some and that is that the Phoenix Suns are finally getting their g-league team you guys I
Know this was something that Matt ish had talked about when he first took over the organization he said bringing a g-league team to Phoenix was one of my first priorities as an owner and now we officially know that the fall of 2024 is when we will get this g-league team
They’ll debut the 2024 2025 season um espo I know Flex you weren’t around the last time we did this exercise um where we were picking names of what we think the g-league team should be named ESO I’m still team Suns Jr and I want the logo of a big Sunburst holding the hand
Of a little Sunburst and I still want them to play at the YMCA or LA Fitness one of the two but have you changed your mind at all ESO are you still set on your uh Firebirds I didn’t plan this but Firebirds all right I love you you put a
Basketball instead of a baseball there you got a sweet logo uh it plays up the Phoenix uh the Phoenix moniker I still love that I thought about it the other day and you could just call them the valley Valle so you’re coming to play the valley no no city name none of that
Just the valley uh you get away with but one I I really like I’d love to find a way to honor Al McCoy for all he did and everything that he was uh to fans and just call him the Shazam the Phoenix Shazam all right just a nice nod to the
History of it doing in Western font uh and you got something there that that honors the fan base that and you’re going to sell a lot of merch I think so normally I’m against anything that has like meaning and sentiment behind it for these things because it’s like have a
Little fun like just do something random um but when it comes to Al I guess that’s what I’ll give you the nod on that one but if they don’t go that route I still think it should just be something so outrageous and ridiculous like I just want something fun like I
Don’t want it to be connected to the Suns necessarily even I’ll throw out I’ll throw Suns junr out to the street you know what I mean like just something silly I I like connecting it to the Suns I like your your thinking Lind I mean no
I don’t want it to be connected as connected hold on you want son Junior that’s conect that’s connected I know but I’m saying I’m willing to throw that out and just go take a hard left turn somewhere else okay okay I don’t I don’t love giving
Saul his flowers on this program but the Aros Santi aliens like if we just called them the aliens like that that would be hilarious okay how about the Librarians we got book we’ve got we’ve got a book uh here and you how about a library okay that’s crazy see that’s
Good that’s a good blend of it actually connects but it’s still ridiculous and I’m on board with that I I mean can you can you call them the sun raay can you call them sunburn something like like I’m just saying I’m just thinking of stuff that I you know I’ve
Been on here six months all I know is hot as hell and there’s a lot of sun and you get some Sunburn and them sun rays are yeah they nasty so I don’t know man let’s keep it let’s keep it Suns related okay I’m sorry but I mean were you you
Remember the Naz Suns the laziest stupid moniker ever for a g-league team lame if they go anything like that route I Riot all right that was the dumbest I’ve ever seen and it came from uh a very lazy approach it was cheaper to just go
With the same damn name than it was to try to come up with something interesting and it’s so like give me something creative I’m glad they’re doing the fan vote which is how they named the the Suns originally was a fan vote so you know I’m I’m for it there’s
Some uh we’ve got Max and Rudy saying the haboobs I mean at least it’s Unique it’s interesting I don’t want to see the logo but it’s interesting yeah Bo I mean that’s interesting that’s hey what what do y’all call that in the background that uh the the silhouette color that’s on
The Jersey behind Uso I have no gradi this thing this thing yeah the the valley or ombre those those you know that little color scheme that’s behind there don’t y’all call that something when you see that you look up and you see those colors there’s
No name for that out here no gu just what our sunsets look like that’s what a sunset that’s what it looks like but just y don’t call it anything I’m I’m just asking General because I would I would stick to something unique to the valley and that to me is unique but um
Yeah whatever call them whatever the hell you want as long as they good at basketball how about cheeks yes dude all let’s all get together and go vote cheeks for like a hundred million times on the open tab page where you can submit a name and if we submit it enough
Then then maybe they’ll actually consider it the I like I like the low riders I like the low riders I’m not even going to entertain the cheeks comment my bad no yeah call low riders but but then the logo is low rider jeans with cheeks there we go everybody’s
Happy yeah I mean I wouldn’t be mad at that’ be hilarious Lord have mercy but it’ll be fun stuff and hopefully we’ll um get more information on it soon what they’re going to be called where they’re going to play um I joked about playing at the Y or LA Fitness but honestly like
A GCU partnership could be pretty cool um for the g-league squad too and try and create that um environment that GCU has with their fan section there um I doubt the uh mad house on McDow is an option because it’s too much money to renovate that building to actually be be
Uh safe for a team to play in there on a regular basis I think um but we’ll see we’ll see look look I think Zach in the chat has an interesting call Play It M you gotta find the key to a good g-league environment uh and and venue is smaller right
Especially it’s where the Coyotes play it’s asu’s hockey arena uh the key to a good a good g-league team and environment is that smaller venue because you’re playing especially here you’re playing in the same city as your NBA team so you’re not not going to draw
10 15,000 you’re just not right so if you make it smaller more intimate unique I like that like I’ve seen I don’t remember which it may have been LA’s uh the Lakers g-league team used to do it as 500 seats and they were at fancy tables and they did a unique thing very
LA right uh but but I love the idea of of doing something smaller but doing it well all about the fans get the younger fans fans in there at a cheap price point so they can still enjoy the game if they can’t get out to to Suns games
At the high ticket price uh I really like I really like that idea and then Brian has the best name yet the Mesa Riz pazitos I’m in name them that let’s go I’m boycotting all right uh long as they play zone defense I’m with it Lord have mercy no flex
Zone um I’m not entirely sure how to pronounce this name uh Makai maai uh sent us a Super Chat I’m sorry for butchering your name but I appreciate you sending us a Super Chat and they said I truly believe if bbo can carve out playoff minutes he could
Actually be a main piece for a championship like when the team needs a spark what do you guys think yeah I I listen I’m I’m again I’m loving Bobo I’m on the bow coaster um the kid’s Got Talent He’s got potential that is ridiculous is um he’s just got to be
Able to hone it in and consistently bring it and he’s been doing a good job of that so yeah I I believe that the minute that kid steps on the court um the crowd and the reaction and the energy um there’s not too many people on
The team that can do that and that matters in the playoffs so yeah I I couldn’t I couldn’t agree more I think he’s on to something yeah I I think he can play those seven 10 minutes that that KD might not be out there in in playoffs as his backup be serviceable
Had some nice defensive plays last night hit a three uh you don’t need a world beater you need a guy to do enough to sustain a lead or help kind of close a gap uh when when KD is not out there and I think buw can do that but he needs to
Continue to show it over the next month or so before we just grandfather him in for some playoff minutes of course yeah yeah hey hey esbo can I submit some PTO real quick on the show for March 8th through the 10th no because I’m not in
Charge of that so you’ll have to call somebody else well I just need you to approve it you you just bypass just bypass him say sure Lindsay you can take March 8th through the 10th off for some event that I know you’re about to tease
I am because listen I want to go out to Phoenix Raceway because uh this Valley is going to Roar to life this spring when nashcar returns to Phoenix uh Raceway March 8th through the 10th and I want to be there all three days I don’t want to have to pick and choose which
Days I go to because it’s the best in-class Fan Experience meets Racing’s toughest drivers for three days of action all surrounded by the beautiful estraya mountain have you guys ever been you guys have been out there you came with us um I was actually like it just
The perfect day to go out there too because it looked so beautiful at that Raceway like I was so impressed with how gorgeous it was and how nice the facility was as well um but I’m telling you I think whether you’re a DieHard racing fan or just looking for a really
Cool event to go spend a day at that’s where you want to be and you can get your tickets to the Shriner children 500 at Phoenix Raceway March 8th through the 10th it promises a weekend of Good Vibes for the whole family so pick up your tickets now at Phoenix raceway.com I was on that Hill that they showed us the hill yeah yeah yo that that place is fun it’s impressive I actually wanna I do want to go out there for a race um I’ve been doing I’ve been on a little bit of a NASCAR trip since we went there
Okay I’ve been I’ve been doing my research figuring out their regular season how the playoff works like I’m I’m kind of getting locked in and yo chat have y’all seen Gran Turismo anybody in the chat if y’all seen Gran Turismo let me know what y’all think I
Love that movie tell Eric are you serious Flex are you serious Flex right now come on dog come on dog Turismo Flex is why that movie keeps uh moving up the streaming charts he’s just got it on Loop you loyalty checks from them dude

To watch this movie for like a month straight like every day he brings it up yes great movie can I pitch watch that movie and then go to the racetrack go ahead I pitch one more name for the g-league team to you yeah the high heat
What do you think of the high heat yo yo I like that I like that because I was thinking heat but I’m wondering if you if you can’t use the heat because we have a Heat NBA team but the high heat yeah you know who could be the SP spor
OG’s OG’s high heat yeah you like that like creative brother when I when I just need a little something our friends over at OG’s give me that little something uh whether it’s hot out or it’s not I I enjoy myself some of their scratch made gummies they are the best in the valley
They’re made here which I find that important when I’m getting my gummies I want an Arizona Made gummy and they do it here uh they got this great new one the big OG it’s 100 milligram it’s the size of a pillow you don’t take it all at once though please please don’t it’s
Perforated into 10 milligram slices that’s the recommended dosage to go with but check them out they’re fantastic they have new vegan gummies too that’s right vegan gummies so if that’s your thing obviously you look at me I’m not vegan but uh but if it’s your thing now
You can enjoy some OG’s gummies so to learn more about OG’s gummies and where you can find him head over to OG’s brands.com all right guys we are gonna round out Today’s Show with our last little bit of drama this one comes from social media of course so we talked
Earlier in the week about the fact that Draymond went on his podcast and just threw so much shade at Yousef nkit well Karma hit him real fast for that one so last night uh Draymond uh during a game he got hit he fell to the ground and he
Laid there for what felt like 17 minutes y’all they literally went all the way back down the court they came all the way back down and went right back and Draymond was on the ground the entire time and you know how I feel about that
But dude laid out like he was dead what an embarrassment and they expect to win with that guy that’s that’s great that’s great Draymond what are we doing my guy come on you can’t go on a podcast two days ago and say that and then do the exact
Same thing D Draymond is tripping he is straight I think he on some OG’s right now he tripping bro wow go ahead es did you did you watch that clip if you look closely the opponent doesn’t hit him at all he hits himself with his own hand
And falls down like he broke his damn nose himself it’s just ridiculous this guy is a complete and utter joke they should find him for that I looked at it I think he should be fine for that considering it flopping 100% like what are you doing dog that is like the
Epitome of flopping like and he tried to sell it to the end of man this guy is tripping man yeah he tripping I honestly like you couldn’t kudos to the NBA script writers because you couldn’t have written that better you really could not have written that better and of course
Nerk had to get in on the action he quot tweeted um the Highlight from that game or the clip of that game when that happened and said it’s it’s a gif of Oppenheimer and on it says you’re getting soft brother I think Elizabeth makes a good a
Good point here too his teammates did not pay any attention to it nobody tried to help him up nobody took a second look they all know that this is crap this guy is nuts the game continued well and his teammates were probably like okay great now we’re down
A body we’ve got an extra guy to pick up on the other end because Draymond just going to lay there like a clown yeah yeah yeah I just the nerk is undefeated on the internet right like that’s just that’s just unbelievable uh way to come back at a guy and look if draymond’s
Gonna decide to get on a mic and say these things like like he did he’s gota like he’s got to understand that it’s G to come back and bite him totally like like I mean and that was I mean usually kmer doesn’t whip around that fast but the NBA script writers I
Don’t know if they checked out for uh for all-star weekend and then let their understudies due yesterday but yesterday was a weird damn day in the NBA with with Phoenix being the epicenter of that but man whoever wrote that uh you know I’m I’m pretty sure they got rejected
From The Grand rismo script all right leave my movie alone man come on man you know what I will say about this Draymond and nerk thing is after what we just saw between uh Isaiah Stewart and Eubanks man they better have extra security between these two guys when we when we
Play in either Arena because there’s definitely something building up there and I hope it doesn’t go to that point I hope they keep it between the lines but this is kind of like the this is what happens a Dom effect this starts and then and then it finally there’s that
Explosion so I I hope it doesn’t happen from either player um because we don’t want that but yeah I would have extra security next time we play Golden State here or there yeah I mean I’m I’m not mad at that idea of that they definitely all need to have a conversation with the
Those two guys as well like listen we know you guys have these and there’s drama but like for the love of God keep it keep it under control yeah could you imagine a seven game series with these two teams no one of them gonna get suspended holy crap it’s
Not gonna happen it’s that’s what I was saying the other day we we brought it up the other day and I think I pointed at Lens I was like if we get a playoff series sons and warriors my God that is going to be prime time TV every game’s
Gonna be a whole life of itself that would be absolutely insane so I kind of don’t want to get into that I I if there’s one team I don’t and it’s not because I’m scared of the Warriors I just don’t like when the game uh evolves into like more psychological because
People come out of that differently and they like nerk it was in his head a little bit I went back and looked at the tape he was trying to prove something that night and so that that’s where you start losing the genuine basketball game it just becomes a bunch of psychological
Stuff so I’d hate the Suns to match up with that and then with him throwing out Kevin’s name too you got to know that feeling a certain way so yeah I want a part of that I want to bring this full circle I want a shirt that has the
Silhouette of our two centers and it has the Taylor Swift lyric I don’t start but I can tell you how it ends because that’s that’s how our big men seem to be approaching this you can take the first shot I’ll take the last all
Right I like it um Ted in the chat said that he likes Draymond as a villain and makes the games more fun so three years years ago I was on board with you 100% I liked the antics of Draymond three years ago and what he did back then because it
Was mostly like tough basketball it was trash talk it it added a little something to the game that I enjoyed as well I think ever since the punch until now it’s gone too far and it doesn’t make it as fun anymore like it it it’s crossed a line of of exciting fun
Talk on the court to just too much like you’re just doing too much at this point I agree so I agree with you back in the day I used to love it I thought it was super fun and it added something to the game um but now I
Just think it’s it’s over the line and it’s like it’s lowkey embarrassing I think Ted brings up an interesting point and I like it because I’m I’m a bit of a history buff but he says look at history empires in Decline start fights that’s true when you know that you’re the
Wounded animal you start fights because that’s a way to try to assert your dominance when you don’t even have it so yeah it’s facts absolutely all right guys that’ll do it for us uh thank you all for hanging out with us today we appreciate you we’ll be back tomorrow
We’ll have a show at 3M and for everyone asking Saul should be back on the show tomorrow so fingers crossed that happens um but until then you can give the show a follow on social PHX you can follow me at Lindsay Smith AZ you can follow Flex
At Flex from Jersey and of course you can follow espo at espo espo Tas home just please don’t Sucker Punch me Lindsay oh Hoy [Applause] Hoy like the May

I mean Kevin Durant even said he was talking to me not the referee? I'll call BS on that.
Can y'all change the sexy sax song?? Something different.
I've seen many players cuss at the refs after getting 1 tech. Especially dray green. He will get 1 tech and it's like he knows that he can push it even more because he knows they won't throw him out. And yes I've literally heard dray cussing after 1tech feet away from refs and no 2nd tech. So last night was ridiculous.
Same thing happen to the Joker (Nuggets) . Meaning, it was seconds from the first technical foul to the second technical foul. Unfortunate, that there were kids in attendance for Superstars and they don't get to watch their favorite player.

That Sexy Sax at beginning hits every time💪😎
the phoenix Shazam is actually incredible
Soft punch Stewart😂😂
I voted for “The Rising Suns” for the G League team.
If you sucker punch someone you better knock him out‼️but he ain't even put drew down black a eye or bust a lip‼️BRO SOFT & DREW A BEAST‼️😂😂
did dis dude jus do dis?
How about players never get ejected unless it’s actually a reasonable situation. If anything, players should be benched for a time limit than get kicked if they’re continuing to argue with the refs call. They get the penalty but still can play
Why is everybody punching us in the face?😢😢😢
Love you Lindsey !
Refs are ruining the game with their I'm-the-main-character antics. Ty Lue is awesome with what he said. haha
Dude, you guys didn't even discuss the game. The Eubanks punch and the Booker ejection should have been 5 minute topics each.

Man. Trying to hard.
The ejections have been out of control all season. Agreed, Adam Silver needs to deal with this in some fashion. Guy is a pretty weak commish imo.
I swear nba officials are some of the most sensitive bitches in sports
