‘Phoenix Suns get BOAT RACED in the 4th quarter!’ 😳 – Brian Windhorst on Suns’ struggles | NBA Today
Suns in the Milwaukee Bucks no Giannis ATT tentac kmbo in this one so we thought okay it’s going to be Dame time well it was but it was also poris time Brian I mean this guy has the ability to get super hot it doesn’t happen often
But when it does just admire it the ptis portal is open I’m trying to think back trademark the poris portal he pulled up for three again and again I remember earlier in the year I referenced Nas Reed as the best big Off the Bench and perk reminded me about
This guy right here Bobby poris my has been musty buckets off the Ben I just spread his lips he said something about Austin Rivers third quarter here under seven minutes to go Kevin Durant pulls for three his then we have Devin Booker his jumper that would be good as well so
Phoenix after trailing big in the first half was able to really get themselves back in again this is just the 27th game we’ve seen their big three play here Austin they got to continue to figure that out I I want to see a point guard with them just to make the offense flow
A little bit better but oh kind of like that guy see I love anything that makes Austin go oh that’s always the shot you want DAV Daven Lillard hit then the fourth quarter here under four minutes to go the Bucks up by 11 at this point
Dame Lillard this is why they got him to close step back that’s good Lillard had 31 points to go with his 16 assists the Bucks win easily without Giannis 140 129 every time the Suns they they win into that lead they just couldn’t quite get over
The hump so the Suns lost this game really in the first half I think the Bucks tied an NBA record with 18 made threes in the first half the suns were just three for 13 from distance but Kendrick Perkins I heard you spy something I’m Kendrick Perkins better
Known as Big perk and nothing gets pass me free just when you thought it did get past me there I am I spy a problem I spy it all te the hill long hello world happy Monday and look I’m not trying to be a guy that’s going
To beat on a dead horse and continue to shoot shots at Kevin Durant damn it but the film No Lie women lie men lie but the film don’t and look last night game look at Kevin Durant we’re talking about AR be the greatest scorer to ever touch
The dam basketball not involved in the offense okay you want to take a little couple nights back look at Kevin Durant again and Body Language says it all I understand some times you have to be a floor spacer but look at his body language not being involved in the
Offense this cannot happen if you’re the Phoenix Suns Kevin Durant right Four Points in the last three four quarters in 28 minutes of action we’re talking about KD we’re talking about Kevin Durant a certified bucket together that cannot happen Wendy that cannot happen Malika that cannot happen Austin if
You’re the Phoenix Suns and you’re trying to make a push in the Western Conference I know you have been keying in on Kevin Durant’s role in all of this and there have been so many issues that we have looked at with the Phoenix Suns the Phoenix Suns in reality not the
Phoenix Suns on paper including their fourth quarter issues including whether or not a point guard is needed they went out and got Isaiah Thomas does that mean that they’re saying maybe there’s something that they’re trying to sort of backfill on that what is their biggest issue to you Brian they are the number
Eight offensive team for the whole game in you know for the season in the first quarter they ranked fifth in offense the studs that we thought they would be in the fourth quarter which you talk about beating a dead horse but I can’t get around this in the fourth quarter these sons are
30th 30th dead last in fourth quarter offense and by the way their fourth quarter defense ain’t much better this team gets boat raced in fourth quarter I’m talking the difference between them at 30 and the team at 29 which is Miami is the same difference between 29 and 8 that’s
How much of a difference and how bad they are in the fourth quarter they can’t survive being that bad in the fourth quarter now look there’s obviously point guard is an issue if you got a real point guard you’ve played point guard in the NBA Austin you’re
Going to make sure that Kevin Durant gets his hands on the ball but that can’t just be explained it’s obviously part of the issue but here’s the thing Malik you’re talking about they’ve only played 29 games with they’re big three that’s fair the last 14 games of those
Three guys have played together they’re seven and seven yeah so it it’s not happening and that’s extremely problematic since this roster is mostly locked in it it in my issue you know to even piggy back on what you just said in terms of them having a point guard is
They don’t need to go find an All-Star point guard I just want them to have somebody just to hold just to just to organize you know when I talk about like I always reference to Miami Heat when they had a big three they have a point guard that people don’t really talk
About against Lost In The Weeds a little bit Mario Charmers he wasn’t a guy that they had bringing up the ball to do pick and rolls no he got the ball in Lebron and Dwayne Wade’s hand because they had Chris BOS there but he hit spot shots he
Played defense and he just got them organized when it got a little bit sticky and isoy he was kind of able to kind of you know hold his own and have a voice I feel like they need that we saw how good the suns were when they had
Chris Paul I understand he had to go but I just feel like they need someone there to help organize these three because in the fourth quarter we just see them pass it to one another and it just they have to make magic on some see that that is disturbing that is disturbing we’re
Talking about a group of veterans we’re talking about Kevin Durant a top what 10 15 whatever you want to call him greatest player of all time and the road does not get easy it’s not but we’re talking about guys that are underrated Playmakers Kevin Durant he like again he
Mentioned a month ago about being in the goat conversation you know how you take that leap of actually being in the goat conversation of actually being a leader on the floor go get the ball I played with KD when he actually won the MVP when Russ went out go look at KD numbers
Yes he was putting up buckets but go look at the twom man gang when he was playing the point forward and him and Sergey Baka was mastering that twom man game and they were finding me on the dunker spot for easy buckets Kevin Durant could do it he got a want to do
It I can say one sentence they miss Chris Paul it’s as simple as that NBA is
Brian Windhorst, Kendrick Perkins and Austin Rivers join Malika Andrews to break down the Milwaukee Bucks’ 140-129 win over the Phoenix Suns and discuss why Kevin Durant and the Suns seem to be in a slump right now.

The sheer volume of information shared here is mind-boggling. My brain is getting a serious workout!🔥
Durant folded
You play physical against KD he becomes an average player.
Yea Durant doesn’t look hungry enough.. sad to see
The sun's don't suck the basketballs are rigged with magnets 😂😂😂 I'm a sun's fan. Lol
As a suns fan we have to got to do something quick before we lose any more games.
KD soul still in Tatum hands
Every time perk talks KD he pushing this leader narrative smh. Where was this when Book was just out 3-1 record scoring 35+ 4 straight
Just listening to these guys talk suns is hard bc you can tell they don’t watch the actual games 😁 as a suns fan the 4th quarter is not on the top of the list
Yo relax with the Durant talk, he is 35 and playing a lot of minutes and one of the most consistent players in this team and been carrying this team while Beal was out with injury and Booker in and out of the squad with the injuries, the man is allowed to have a bad game as great as he is. Yall are reading too much into it
Perk been hitting that buffet
One game. And he walk like gangsta. Be consistent
KDs arch nemesis is any type of physicality. Always been like that. In GS Curry Thompson and Green allowed him to see more frequent isolations and kept bodies off him. Put a body on KD and don’t allow him to get to that middy below the elbows and you can slow him down.
That’s cos . He free ride When playing with curry. Teams fear curry. Can you tell me teams fearing Durant
I keep hearing folks talk about “ appreciate Kevin durants greatness” then i see games like this 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Kd needs to retire like seriously dude doesn’t have a winning mentality anymore no accountability & frank Vogel is an idiot keeps playing small putting kd in a position to be injured he’s a sf that’s what he needs to be playing if they want a chance of winning anything & bol bol should be starting ahead of Eubanks i don’t want to hear anymore oh well bol is not a starter bc that isn’t true bol proved & has done more than Eubanks could for an entire season ppl need to accept Eubanks is garbage & that Vogel should be held accountable for losing the locker room.
Disliking every video until they stop the wemby propoganda
Isaiah Thomas is not a pure PG. He is just a scorer. Phoneix suns does not need another scorer.He does not facilitate and he will be a liability on defense. Which they is already lacking in that department. Smh
if kd never win again the debate it's over he needs steph more than steph needs him
Here we go again…..pushing for the warm weather teams…….
