Next Up: Phoenix Suns | Raptors Today – March 7 2024

Basketball fans welcome into the set of raptors today ke Austine Sher Hamilton Eric Smith looking ahead for the Toronto Raptors can I cut you off for a second Oh no I got to give you a shout out okay all right you like I love I love that he

Goes oh what I’m giving you a shout out man I’m scared with the hoodie shouts out ohy did that all right ni Kobe Bean the legend I’m not going to get into it with you Jordan’s better let’s not talk about it all right so the Phoenix Suns take on the Toronto

Raptors tall task Uh Kevin Durant coming off um a big performance against the raing world champions Sherm how do you slow down a team who probably will not have Devin Booker yes we won’t have Devin Booker however Kevin Durant seems to be enough and Bradley Bradley Beal is is kind of

Getting his rhythm getting his reps in um and I tell you what Royce O’Neal is a good pickup for them MH uh nurkic has size in the middle and we know the difficulty with size that this team has without yaka Pearl in the lineup and

Scotty so it’s going to be a challenge I mean this is one of the better teams in the Western Conference and and as we’re seeing as the Raptors finish this stretch of games it’s tough to to compete at that level but I just want to see them compete that’s what I want to

See I don’t expect them to go into Phoenix and get a w it would be great and anything can happen I can recognize that and acknowledge that however it’s a tough task I want to see them play hard I want to see them execute I want to see

Them dig in defensively because they are behind the eightball when you think about the talent level that Phoenix has and that’s the biggest thing right the re the reality and Sherm kind of said it even off the top when we were discussing the Pelicans game you’re going into a

Game against the Suns without 40% of your starting lineup in Perl and Barnes and we’re going to be saying that for the rest of the season then on top of that we didn’t even mention Bruce Brown is down is he your sixth man right now

If he’s not he’s your six seventh man so you got three of your top six potentially out of the lineup for now that’s going to be a tall task for any team in the league if we were talking about any squad saying going to take two your starters and your six seventh man

Good luck and then on top of that you know the Raptors are banged up in other spots and and we we’ve discussed in this show with four guys that were on 10 days or on two ways or like it’s a tall task big time so just play hard and let’s see

Where the chips fall I gotta give a shout out to a guy who I’ve slandered for most of his career will probably continue to but playing great basketball Grayson Allen I think he’s he’s found himself out there yeah he fits that Team all right that does it for us here on

Raptors today do remember it’s a late tip cuz they’re coming from Phoenix Raptors and Sons on Sports Net for TV TSN 1050 with the radio call that does it for myself Sher Hamilton his pillow Eric Smith and that’s it we’re out we’re done bye thanks for watching the Toronto
