Tim Legler says there’s a ‘MASSIVE CONCERN’ for KD & the Suns after questionable losses | Get Up

We talked about the Lakers big win last night earlier let’s talk about the Warriors they blew out Miami they got 28 from Klay Thompson how encouraging a night was this for Golden State well anytime Klay Thompson finds his rhythm it makes you believe there’s always going to be hope with this team because

Of their style because of the shooting prowess of their best two players so Klay Thompson he doesn’t do it every night but when he does it gives the Warriors a legitimate shot on any given night then let’s talk about OKC they beat New Orleans closing the game on a

12 nothing run and they’ve had such a great year are they a legit threat to win the West the year they’ve had you it’ be almost unfair it be disrespectful to say they’re not a legitimate threat they are but there are a couple of question marks one they’re young they

Just don’t have a lot of combined playoff experience and their size is an issue their last two losses or two of their last three losses they got absolutely mauled on the glass by the Lakers and the Bucks that is an Achilles for this team but let’s give them credit

For the year they’ve had and say yeah they’re a threat and then Dallas easy win last night over Sacramento Luca and Kyrie combining for 52 and 14 and I know you’ve been saying it for a while on this show you find them very dangerous yeah this is the real threat I think in

So far right now for me in the Western Conference to the Denver Nuggets this is the best team Lucas’s had and that’s saying a lot because you know how great he has been in big moments but now he seems to have found a Perfect Chemistry with Kyrie Irving they’ve added some

Pieces to improve their depth they’ve got athletes in the middle they’ve got shooting and right now they they’ve got a Swagger about them they’re playing their best basketball at the right time right so we like where the Mavericks are and so we show you these three obviously

That the trio that was together in Brooklyn for a time and you got KD now and the Suns and they’ve been very up and down you got Kyrie who just told us you’re really like them Harden’s Clippers they had a great streak there they’ve leveled off a little bit they’re

All in the playoff picture assuming you like Dallas the most yes which one are you the most worried about which of these throw it’s clearly the Suns they’re just a drift at Sea they’re lost r so what does this mean like like like here’s Kevin Durant he handpicked

Another spot to go to and again it look the playoffs are what will tell the tail and maybe they’ll surprise us all but right now it does not look promising well and I think listen at some point the hits are going to come at Kevin Durant and they’re going to be valid

Look there’s a difference between what kind of talent you are historically and what kind of career you’ve had like the Legacy question is an important one for guys on this level and when you look at what has happened since Golden State these are valid question marks because

This team with that level of talent at the top of this roster this is a team that every night even if they didn’t become great defensively if they were just average defensively they should be so good offensively they can make up for that and they should be in the mix at

The top of the Western Conference and the fact that they’re having these losses that are this ugly and this bad and this concerning at this time of the year massive concern right now for the Phoenix Sun so people always look at a team like that though that has him and

Has Devin Booker and and and has Bradley Beal assuming that he’s healthy and just say well they can just turn on a switch they they can just you know flick a light switch and they can all of a sudden go out and score 130 points in a playoff game and they become dangerous

Can they do that sometimes that circuit breaker’s tripped okay so sometimes you got to go out to the garage and you got to check what circuit breaker trip because that light’s not coming on right now and this is this just something you can’t I I can’t personally forget right

Now in the short term that lost to Milwaukee that was a team that didn’t want to play basketball that day they weren’t interested in competing and Milwaukee didn’t have Giannis and then you follow it up with a loss to the Spurs do you know if you took Victor

Wanyama off the San Antonio Spurs they’re breaking the record for fewest wins in the NBA they would easily that’s what you looked at the other night they didn’t have Victor wanyama they’re not even trying to win this late in the year and they still beat the Suns who had

Everybody playing you can’t have a worse loss than that so just the fact that they’re having these right now with the importance of these games and trying to find your Rhythm yeah the Suns the Suns have big issues greeny said what [Applause] I NBA

  1. KD is an all time great scorer but his decision making and basketball iq are very questionable. He has greatly underachieved in his career imo

  2. Any team with Soy KD is destined to lose unless it has a bonafide superstar that can carry a team. He's soft, will always be soft and can't do it.

  3. The reason they are losing games is because booker is shooting the ball too much…. And Frank Vogel can't coach offensive minded players. The bulls ran the offensive through Jordan, the Lakers through Kobe or Shaq before he left…. Who are the Suns running through

  4. Ledger, you, windy, wjo, steven a, shannon,wilbon, perk none of you so called experts will ever admit or say that outside of his time with the warriors, KD is just a big loser, with the rockets, he ran after he failed, he chose brooklyn, ran after he failed, chose the suns failing.. so any team that KD runs to is going to fail, that simple his history says so..

  5. As a suns fan we have got to get it together if we want to make it in to the playoffs we gotta win these few last game remaining of the season.

  6. No depth, move on. ESPN attracts zero new fans to the NBA. Every headline reads as if every team is in trouble, a wash, overrated, etc.

  7. The Suns would’ve been better to not trade CP3 for Beal. I see the Suns losing in the first round or losing in the play in. They’re done regardless

  8. Kd is not a Winner he can’t teach anyone on how to win bc he obviously got carried by curry and he knows it they’re gonna lose tonight and the rest will be history!

  9. I am so disgusted by just how much hate Kevin Durant has received over the years from fans, the media, etc. However, saying that, I have to admit that I have almost never seen a player who is that good, I mean a superstar and a legend of the game, be practically unable to carry a decent team to the Finals….. He did what I'm saying one time, when he was young.
    He was only able to carry his team to the Finals one time with OKC. Then, three times in a row with GS, but that barely can even count, because that was the most loaded "superteam" in basketball history…..

    (Don't get me wrong… I'm not saying that those championships didn't count…. Of course they count…
    I'm saying that they don't count as far as him leading a team of decent players all the way with them on his back….)

    I don't understand why Kevin Durant can't just carry a decent team with like one other star player some good role players all the way to the Finals…..
    There is no reason and no excuse why Durant would be unable to carry the Suns all the way to one or more championships, or AT LEAST a Finals appearance, with Devin Booker, and a handful of good role players……

  10. Other than maybe Denver and maybe a healthy Minnesota no other team in the west have a definitive 7 game series advantage over them because of their star power. No game in game out their lack of depth plays a bigger part. But 7 game series those stars are a bomb that could go off at any time. I have more faith in them than LA, GS, NO, Min ( kat not healthy ), OKC ( basically one player ).

  11. Wow wow and again without Nuggets and Joker 🃏 I’m shocked you’re hater’s Nuggets Nation
    JOKER making history NBA and who cares…Nuggets not so “fancy” for you
    Let’s go Nugget’s Nation
    Good night West Hollywood
