Perk SHOCKED Thunder crush Suns 128-103 in Oklahoma City; KeVin Durant 26 Pts; Josh Giddey 23 Pts

Tom Chambers OKC takes all three from the Suns this season welcome to Suns postgame time sorry to interrupt you you just they’re all they’re you know they’re all over the place in a good way I mean you the Suns you think okay here’s a layup coming uh no he comes out

Of nowhere to get it this this team plays hard and they’re precise in what they do I mean they rotate they give it a great effort and they’re shooting the heck out of it too I mean they’re wide open out there doing that as well they

Just seem to be very very very confident and without Shay who’s taking all those shots and clutch they still got guys that make shots he might be the NBA’s MVP oh my goodness three points per game OKC their top five scores are all 25 years or younger the future is really

Good in Oklahoma City now the question is can they keep all these guys there’s not a big Revenue stream in Oklahoma City and a lot of these guys are going to want some big deals down the road but they have like 17 first round picks coming up in the next four years you

Could probably use those for some more assets oh my goodness and then the shine of that win in Denver over the Nuggets begins to fade for the Suns man shortlived yeah it really was and we have talked about this with this team too they always play well against teams

That are really good you know when somebody’s missing like Shay then okay it looks like they just didn’t come out and go I mean they they started off good in the first quarter I thought everything was good but man after that just the passing went away the rebounding went away the effort went

Away and it was just you have to give the credit to Oklahoma City CU they they did it offensively and defensively against his son’s team the sun’s team uh looked old and slow compared to this young athletic Oklahoma City team I think if you ask most NBA fans at least

50% of them could not name the head coach of Oklahoma City or at least say it properly or mark dagnold this guy is brilliant or 12 other players on their team on their team well you you’d be pretty good Williams three got three as long as you don’t have to say their

First name although two of them is J then you have to then you have to spell it it is just yeah they’re not household names by any stretch but yet what they’re doing out there is they’re making a difference they’re I mean they’re winning games they understand

They have a chance to have the best record in the west and the Suns helped them to that uh position and they are tight you talk about playing on a string that’s a term that’s used over and over again that’s an AP description of Oklahoma City even when they rarely turn

It over you see four or five guys sprinting back the other way meanwhile the former member of the Oklahoma City Thunder Kevin Durant still hearing the booze eight years later he had 26 points averages 31 against his former team I’ll tell you what as he goes up against them

He must have flashbacks because Oklahoma City has not been this potent since those KD Westbrook Sergio Baka days when they made all the way to the West finals well it’s and it’s a cool City for basketball because it’s the only the only sport in town and so that’s what

They it’s like the Jazz when they first started up there in Utah so this is the team everybody’s going to follow him and they’re going to remember that he chose to go go play with Golden State win a championship and leave them right there

But uh yeah KD I mean he’s KD he you he he he’s really really good he obviously he left there when he was like what an MVP chose to go play for the team that just that just beat him so um that that was a tough one but man this game Tom is

That stink is back on my hands now you know the one I couldn’t get off and said you’re pretty happy about seeing Isaiah Thomas with a couple Hoops pretty high on nasier little in the final minutes n little was terrific he really was in his short minutes and it showed that he can

Still score out there I mean for him to get what five points and two and two assists in seven minutes was great to see that so in situations like this I think coach vogle needs to try some other guys because what was happening with the sun you you expect book and you

Expect K and and be able to get it going but just that life that this Suns team has little can bring some life Josh can bring some life I mean bbo can bring some life and at times they just looked lifeless out there so do the old Cotton

I mean we let’s do a hockey substitution thing and get some life out there on the floor because it started early and it just kind of just kind of kept going it flipped early second quarter no question about it we go back to the Thunderdome to join up by EJ

Eddie Johnson you know before we get to some of our topics too I got a buddy who was out there in Oklahoma City watching this game texting me and he said man it’s uh for real they have turned against Kevin Durant which again this is

A guy who was MVP there took them to the West finals but that’s a very loyal fan group there in Oklahoma City isn’t it e yeah it wasn’t that many bulls to be quite honest I mean people were booing but you know players like booing anyway fans don’t understand boo a guy focuses

More it doesn’t bother him and I mean you expect that a few fans to still be upset and that’s out of respect I mean obviously they’re still hurting from the fact that KD left and so you know that’s their reaction to him if that’s the worst KD will experience when he comes

Here he’s okay yeah and again like you said sometimes that can be fuel what was it like to see Oklahoma City’s speed athleticism and passion up close in this game well again I mean you know how they’re going to play I mean they’re going to move without the ball they’re

Going to cut they don’t have a low post guy that they just throw the ball to and all of a sudden he’s going to create opportunities they got to do it on the move and their speed and quickness I thought caused problems uh for the Suns look their three-point shooting was

Lights out in the first half the suns were just one less than them in regards to makes in the first half it was the paint scoring the paint scoring was an issue all night long where they were able to get into the paint and get

Layups and and get to the rim and and the Suns weren’t filing them like you know you got to do one or two things like and Tom I think you would agree with this when you’re playing against fast guys what do you do you hit them like you playing against a guy that’s

Faster than you you hit him Suns only had one player I think mid fourth quarter that had more than two fouls and that was Devon Booker that was it so it was like they were able to move around and do their thing without worry of getting hit and I’m not saying flagrant

I’m not saying dirty just guys hitting them letting them know you come through that paint you attack the rim you going to get a foul going to be a nice one to give them some hesitation and it didn’t happen no it didn’t happen and you know the The backline Defenders weren’t there

To to try and stop that from happening but Josh gidd is a guy we’ played against guys like that throughout our career Eddie that really are not good Shooters but he was in the paint every single possession seemingly and so why not make that guy shoot like we used to

Do with stalk or we used to do with even Ricky Rubio um because he he really ran this game ran the game plan got everybody else open also LED that team in scoring because of what he did in the paint so I’m just saying you know what

Letting guys get in the paint shouldn’t have happened yes they should land on their neck when they when they go to the hole and when they do that but the sons were letting people go by them all night long yeah well and we were rotating out of double teams or whatever you whatever

Have you and three times we rotated and it was Isaiah Joe and giddy on the same side and we ran to Giddy yeah you know so things like that you just you know I don’t care how hot gidy is you don’t run away from Isaiah

Joe yeah and he hit every shot so it was those those mental breakdowns I thought that really cost us tonight but again you got to give credit to Oklahoma City they didn’t haven’t won 50 games by accident it wasn’t all Shay Gil just they got a very good basketball team a

Very good team and ever since they signed Gordon Hayward Josh giddy’s game has just gone up even higher because people talked about that he would kind of halfway replace him in the starting lineup well that hasn’t happened because Josh giddy is playing lights out you always have some great moments during

The broadcast and a couple of them jumped out at me and TC was watching in the The Green Room the first was that you got to lay the wood got to lay the wood down sometimes and the other one was when Joe was in the corner it was

Before he even touched the ball you said oh no Joe so those were uh spectacular each all right we’re going to move on the next game in New Orleans I can only say that I can only say that guys because I used to get hit like that like you know

Guys would hit me like so the only reason I know is that I live my whole NBA life guys I go through the paint trying to get open and do all that guys would hit me we didn’t do any of that and that’s the way you beat this team

And and Eddie they’re not big I mean besides ch they’re a small team out there and Chad you know he’s got the chest of a sparrow and and yet he he he was going into the paint and you know and nobody was bumping him that’s a guy

You bump you know and he was just doing whatever he wanted to do so yeah I agree with you on that I mean the Suns did not play smart they did not play physical and they certainly did not play quick out there against this this Oklahoma

City team though they made him look not quick you know they really did you’re going to make a lot of teams look not quick especially even come playoff time so onto New Orleans to face the Pelicans the end of this road trip and the Pelicans behind Zion Williamson beat the

Bucks last night Ingram is out at least another week with the KNE brw but E when you look at this team of course they’ve got the veteran leadership and CJ McCullum they got yonas as well uh are they the deepest team in the NBA well I think they have a lot of

Players that can do a lot of things right and they play physical and they have some guys that can defend they have obviously height uh at the wing positions as well so they offer a different Dynamic they’re not going to run around like Oklahoma City did

Tonight uh they’re going to do a lot of isolation two-man game all of that and I think the suns are really good defensively at doing that right and so I think that the Suns would have a better defensive concept playing against them and then the other thing is you know

Dealing with Zion and just making him a jump shooter you know you can’t get caught in between you got to give him some space and invite him to shoot shots and then get you defensive help from behind whoever is guarding him I wouldn’t be shocked if vogle maybe goes

A little small on Zion you know to try to disrupt his dribble because he likes to catch it 15 20 feet then turn and try to run you over so it’s good to have a smaller guy to mess with him a little bit and then have nage and KD behind

That guy to try to maybe challenge his shot once he gets past him it’s the only way I can see you really dealing For for Spee he don’t You for foreign speech foreign Speeech spee okay now one going fore yeah hey oh Spee spee spee [Applause] spee don’t
