Suns snap Nuggets win streak: KD, Booker & Beal the biggest threat to DEN in West? | NBA | SPEAK
And the Suns found a way to win without All-Star Devin Booker one of the purest and best scorers currently in the game without him even in the lineup James Jones as I’m watching the game I’m thinking to myself the suns are the biggest and maybe the only threat to the
Denver Nuggets in the west last year as the Nuggets ran through opponent after opponent including the Lakers at least the Suns found a way to steal two games and this Sun’s roster improved what do you say you watched the game last night what do you think you think the suns are
The biggest threat I did watch it and as I was watching the game I’m like they are doing this without Booker I think when you get all three of these dudes this is three walking buckets right here Bradley Bill KD dein Booker ball in their hands they can create at any
Moment right and when I’m watching that game last night even just with Bradley Bill and Kevin Durant you know taking over the game and they had they had some help from others but this team is scary and you talk about three Allstar players that can score the basketball at any
Point I mean when all three of them play they averaging 121 points a game like that’s going to be tough for people to beat them boys averaging 121 points per game and then we seen in overtime they have stars you need stars to finish the game and if you’re asking me they have
Better Stars than the nuggets have so if the game is close like that overtime fourth quarter they have better closers and better Stars than the Nuggets to close the basketball game out and win the game and we seen that last night so if you ask me are they the biggest
Threat absolutely cuz this is three Premier scores and they can get it going at any time in the basketball game I think they are but it depends on health they’re a extremely that is big topheavy team now the top is very nice yes it is it’s nice up there they’re the only team
With two top 15 NBA scorers this season and neither one of them are named Bradley Bill KD is averaging 27.9 points per game Booker you already know what he can do 27.5 points per game B’s averaging 18.2 points per game but if you have all three of them on the court
We already know it’s going to be a problem and with the way that the rest of the roster is constructed while it isn’t necessarily Stars you can get contributions from them night in and night out you you have some some ability at the you know the bigs but for me it’s
About experience and health that is why I like the Suns if they are healthy they have the experience they have a championship winning head coach they have one of the greatest players in the history of the game the god he’s behind Shady right now they have that so Booker
Can score 70 points we’ve seen him do that in a game and Bradley be is also a walking bucket all these things we know that but are they going to be available that is the biggest point to me Booker obviously has missed the last two games
He might not play until next week you don’t want to be in a situation where you’re in the playing game they’ve had a lot of struggles with h this season which is part of the reason why they are in the position that they are in right
Now in the rankings I like the Suns a lot but for me it is going to come down to health now I know it comes down to health with every single team but when you are a topheavy team like the suns are it is even more important because we
Know that the way that they were built with having these three stars you had to make some cuts on the rest of the roster and if if those players aren’t able to contribute consistently night in and night out as James said they had a lot of help last night which is good but
They beat a really great team and they did it with the star power at the end of the game you don’t want to put yourself in that position night in and night out and you’re able to do that if you have everyone available we talked about star Powers
Right yes sir who the biggest star on the court y you say it’s close over KD it ain’t close no it’s not one one’s an MVP and is a champion did y forget of them MVP and champions yo we talking about right now we I don’t know about all that six years
Ago we talking about right now right talk about y I mean yeah yeah okay yeah Y is is the biggest star so you talking about the star part that don’t even matter for real I watched this team last year in the playoffs they lost four games whole playoffs four games and
Y’all telling me that that’s the biggest threat did y not watch them last year lose to the same team that happened yeah did I watched Booker and KD average 65 68 points combin that’s a lot of points lot of points now Bill might add a little 20 points in there no doubt and
See I’m all about matchups though if you look at the Suns roster you look at the Nuggets they match up to him of course Aaron Gordon he going to guard KD KD gonna do his thing but is he going to do his thing like he do against everybody
Else or going be a little different against Aaron Gordon it’s going to be a little different cwell pop Booker like that yeah but Carwell play some defense lers still missing him from that championship in the bubble right and and the last point is um Grayson Allen people always talk about this going on
He had eight eight from three yeah is that GNA happen again who G beat these boys four times in a row I’m just waiting y talking about star par on this the biggest thing is chemistry when I watch all these NBA teams when I really watch them there’s no other team that’s
That’s together that’s in sync like the Nugget so what team ain’t no team James that’s fair I agree with you about that I agree with everything you’re saying if we got to pick somebody though if you got to pick there’s no yeah but y
Got to say no you got to tell him no there no we got to fix because when you watch there’s no matchup that that can can give the nuggets fits but flip the other than I don’t lie I I was going to say the Clippers cuz when they do that
Small ball all that and you got all them four that can score but but I can’t go against nobody with nugget wouldn’t you say two5 because I agree like if money you should if you want to be right you should money on the line 25 nuggets are beating the
Suns but I would say I’mma flip the same take that you gave us on you you said that the Nuggets match up well with the Suns I would look you and the ey hold up a mirror and say the Suns match up play with the Nugget and why would you say
That I would say that because when you talk about bench when you talk about last week we were bragging about Michael mpj going five for five from three Grace anoun said that’s cute you can go five from five from three bet I’ll start the game going eight from eight from three
When you talk about what the sons have as far as being able to score it will game went into overtime I remember there was a loose ball loose ball goes off the rim I think KD or somebody shot balls bouncing on the court in slow motion I’m
Wondering who hands are it going to land into there are nine potential players because KD just shots not going back to him it lands in the hands of Bradley Beal I said what Fortune how nice is that that a loose ball just hand lands in the hands of a player who averaged 32
Points per game at one point time in the National Basketball Association so the Suns got Firepower the suns are talented enough the Suns have length I was watching the game yesterday I saw Aaron Gordon y’all know Aaron Gordon won the Slam Dunk Contest I believe or he lost Zack
LaVine team other than the no doubt about it Aaron Gordon was going up for a easy layup a easy reverse something KD just blocks it so casually casually at that point in time I was like bro when I was thinking about the Lakers only ad
Could do that KD just casually as a you know what from a size perspective they match up well from a yic perspective they match up as good as you can because go back to the days when they chose the Joker over ner so at least when from a
Matchup perspective at least the Suns can match up you really telling me about one game we just had a whole server size last go last year let’s go last year you said the megas lost four games in the whole playoffs who they lose two of them
To the 50% of their losses came to this team okay and then what and then what and then they beat the breaks off the Lakers another issue that the Suns had last year yes sir talk to is that there was no chemistry there’s Superstars so
Now when we get to the playoffs cuz the rest season is cool yeah I mean NBA players they hang out all time all day I’ve been the club with them they got a game tomorrow playoffs they don’t do that it’s serious so let’s go to some serious basketball in the playoffs the
Chemistry might not be there the same way it was last year with KD when KD got there we was all hyped about it cuz who he was but they didn’t have that chemistry four fourth quarter overtime who’s getting the ball who’s not who’s going to play defense right we all
Talking about this offense we gonna play defense because one thing about the Nuggets they play defense and they love it and they know they roles we going to play defense we gonna have Shooters we going to play pick and roll with mer and we going to do with yic and who going to
Stop it cuz haven’t been stopped yet and you talk about his matchups that you not see him last year how did how did Aaron Gordon do against KD last year he did very well he did real he did very well okay so you and then Grayson Allen I
Mean you going bet on that again I’m take I’mma take Michael Porter I’mma take Michael Porter before I’mma take grayon Allen shooting the Trey Ball I’m take the six Grace leading the league right now right now right now play though no pressure but forget all that
Though like I agree with you you got to no you got to not with all of it but all right we I do agree that okay the nuggets are the top dog but we’re talking about a team that could knock them off with Bradley Bill in on this
Team now in this lineup That is The Equalizer because that’s another guy to where you can say here goes the basketball AO not lying when the ball bounced to him this dude is a true score in the NBA he is not nothing to play with that was not on the court they were
Depending on Chris Paul to be that third score and Chris Paul got hurt you know what I’m saying now you put in an allar in Bradley Bill that’s why I say matchup wise even as good as def it’s going to be tough to stop the pho it’s only one
Basketball and Kevin Durant’s the best player on that team he do not get the most shots on that team did you know that quity shots though he get the listen he gonna get the right shots there’s one basketball there’s only one dude going to shoot the the most it is
Booker I hear you and I also feel that are a step ahead of everybody in the west there is a significant separation between the nuggets and everyone else M but if there was a team who healthy matched up well with the nuggets and could have an opportunity to possibly
Compete with them and make it interesting I do think it’s the Suns I don’t think this Suns team is the same Suns team from last year they have some new additions to their roster they have some deductions from their roster that I think make a difference there’s another
Year of KD and Booker playing together they have a lot of experience and in the postseason the thing that I value the most is health and experience because we know Stars if they’re there are going to show up who gets the experience everybody’s better oh what do you mean
You say you go for health and experience so who will get the edge and experience I mean well technically KD would have the most experience no team most talk the team team the team together together of course the nuggets have more experience that’s that’s what we’re talking about right okay I mean Booker
Booker has played a lot of postseason games their coach is a championship they ain’t been to the finals they ain’t been to the finals Booker and KD and what happened say haven’t done you hold up wait wait wait what’s Experience though experience is going through going yeah well for me if if me
And you both to have been to the finals and you win your team won you find a way to win you got more experience than we do I can trust you when when it gets hot I can trust you more there are a lot of
Guys on this team that have a lot of postseason experience and another thing that nugg yeah that I mean that’s old bro that’s old you keep talking about that’s old last got smoke experience and he got an MVP my experience is this if we both went
Through it but your team find a way to win it all K went through it more than them and they brought him back back I’m not saying but this team better they better I’m not saying who’s W Aiden was the center last time last year bro they way better have
Experience are we all are we all kind of saying the same thing I’m against y I’m against I think what what I am simply saying is that like the Nuggets would be taken to seven games I’d be more than likely that’s what I’m saying last year
They went to six I think the suns are better this year that’s what I’m saying I’m not saying the Suns would win I’m saying but last year they went to six so like you’re not saying the next thing they not going to seven they’re not
Going to seven you put that big boy down in that paint that big boy be controlling the paint they scar that big boy no just playing good basketball though he playing way better basketball than Aiden was playing last and then you add Bradley this team is he was so good
They tra him get rid of him I’m a Believer in the Nugget going his third MVP he going his third MVP this year they going to go back to West conf finals and then we going to be here again we will and we going to see what
Happens so the sun’s going seven games I don’t know if they’re going to make that okay here’s my only hope seven games is w I hope we get this match up in the finals and we don’t get it in round one cuz we might get it in round one it’s a
63 and that would be disappointing I want it in the finals that’ll be scary that’ll be that’s what we pay for when we return Daniel Jones hopefully he gets another opportunity to play for the Giants word on the street the Giants are done with DJ it’s a w but did the man

Shady,,, you stuck in the past! This Suns team ain’t the same team as last year. We gotta better big that actually DOMINATED Joker in all stats minus scoring last night. We got more size, a better bench. Even when Nurkic fouled out our back up was getting busy on Joker. You bugging. We’ve been to the finals, went all the way to game 7 in the finals. Stay off the drugs
The nugget glaze is crazy they overrated
Beal, booker and Durant are all injury prone. They will never all play together for an extended period of time.
One will probably not be available for the playoffs.
The nuggets ain’t going to go 100% till the playoffs. Don’t need to get hurt on pointless games when they’re pretty much already in the conference finals. Remember the Cavaliers just beat the Celtics
Someone lied on there resume to get this job 😂
Y’all need to stick to football ya don’t have a clue
Lol keep sleeping on okc
turtle neck has no clue whats going on
Yall gotta bring the basketball experts on occasionally yo. All football heads
"Grayson made 8 3s? Is that gonna happen again though!?"
Bro… hes done it how many times this year? Hes the leading 3-pt shooter ya donut lol
McCoy needa go back to football 😂
Acho’s Fit 🔥🔥🔥
DEVIN BOOKER and BRADLEY BEAL are not NBA Stars. They both are out of their prime and when they are healthy they are strength key players. Phoenix Suns continues to feature Mr. Durant (Kevin) on offense and defense with strength key players Phoenix Suns can win an NBA title.
Basketball is easily the weak point of this show and Joy is the only one that makes basketball points that are consistently decent. While saying is Grayson gonna go 8-8 again orob not is fair because literally no one does that consistently… but it’s clear they don’t know Grayson shooting the highest percentage from 3 this season lol. That said assuming health Nuggets are still my pick but to dismiss it is crazy
Shady heard nothing but suns are better 🤣
I totally agree with LeSean McCoy everything the sun aren't the biggest threat haha idk why the other 2 ppl sat sun are haha they are totally wrong the nuggets are the biggest threat 100% go nuggets
I’m convinced these people only watch nba when the super bowl is over
Grayson Allen has had 5 games this season that has made 8 3 points in a game so yea he can lol
Shady loud for nothing.
Suns took 2 off Denver last playoffs with no chemistry and no bench. They got better this year. 😅
Remember your facts 😂
Stick to football if not bring in an NBA expert
Shady just up there saying anything 🤦🏾♂️
The suns were hurt 😂is this guy forgetting that?
It's not AXE, it's ASK you dumdum
They aren’t beating Denver in the playoffs. Tripping.
It will be interesting this year. Last year the Suns lost because the open guy could hit his shots. They have that this year and length as well. We will have to see how they look in the playoffs.
Allen is the best 3 pt shooter this yr bruh!
No one is giving Grayson Allen his respect, wow
Shady talking like Jokic is Shaq 😂😂 bro he can't win games by himself🤷🏽♂️ the reason ppl think he dominant is because he passes well but that doesn't matter if you're team doesn't knock down the shots. Without the assist, he's a bigger Kevin Love (which is definitely not a diss) I think Denver gets knocked out this year, probably second round
Suns ☀️ in 4 🏀
OKC is real
Suns should get PJ tucker he will help a lot
First time i actually agree with shady, well to an extent 😅
Super soft defence and multiple turnovers will get found out in the playoff. Just got the wrong coach
When Shady started eating the Nuggets like this lol switched up on KD
Soooooo ready for the playoffs
Shady not eatching basketball
Kd book and beal are bestfriends bro they literally did a interview they all have cane corso and all
