Are the Phoenix Suns finally pulling it together?

Are the Phoenix Suns finally pulling it together?

Kind of believing in the Phoenix Suns just a little bit just just a little bit kind of believe in what I’m seeing man that’s that’s great why why why are you believing what you’re seeing let me let me be clear I it’s I’m not saying I I

Like here they won two games in a row this means they’re better than Boston and they’re better than Denver it’s I’m not saying that but here at Global Jim we’re better than you we know it no but I mean I I’ve been saying for a little while I I do wonder what this

Team does in a playoff series because they we’re better than you and we know it because they do oh we know it they respond to losses well and they respond to wins terribly and that makes for a lot of seven game playoff series and if

You get me to a game seven I’ll take my chances with the team that has a guy in Devon Booker that could just put up 50 On Any Given night and also has Kevin Durant and some of these other pie it’s not ideal they wouldn’t be my pick to

Win the title right now but I I’ll I’ll maintain that they would be on my list of like five teams that I think could win it they probably be fifth but they’re on that list you know right now just based on the last two games it’ be

Really hard to disagree with you it would but that’s exactly what I’m going to do well there are 70 previous I’m just saying right now honestly I get it man what they did against New Orleans and what they did against the Cavs last night if you watched it Brothers they

Dominated that game man they dominated both of those games at some point I know that the the Cavs made a run of course as they you’re you’re always going to get and so did the Pelicans as well but the Suns took care of business against the Pelicans and against the Cavs and

They won those games they were up huge what were they up in this game 28 points yeah this is the second game in a row that they jumped on the opposition early and then just really didn’t let up a little bit like you said in the second half they good teams they’re playing

They’re going to make a run but at the at the end of everything Cleveland’s run in the second half was that they outscored the Suns 50 4 to 50 you know what I mean so and and when you have as big of a lead as the Suns had going into

Halftime you can you can lose the second half by a couple points and be fine yes the Suns um yeah this is the kind of consistency we want to see it’s two games though that is the thing right now do it again there is nothing wrong as a

Professional ath we know how talented the suns are we we know how loaded with Talent they are we know about the big three base don’t but you know what prove it I I I’ve been I’ve been talking about this for a long time I’m not coming off this just prove

It why would any professional athlete care if you wanted them to prove it I’ve said this before as well and I’ll continue to say it I want to see this kind of consistency and this kind of effort doesn’t mean they’re going to win every game doesn’t mean that I want to

See the consistency and the effort from the very tip and guess what we saw that again did we not they came out and dominated the first quarter that’s two games in a row another 40 from Devin Booker so just following up a 52-point performance with just a casual 40 no big

Deal I I do wonder if he is really just sort of taking ownership here of the end of this season and into the playoffs um and now if you look at this 10 game stretch that we’ve all been looking at for so long so far they’re three and one

In this 10 game stretch here’s Kevin Durant afterwards yeah man we wanted to come out here with a sense of urgency knowing that these games are super important each game and this team here is uh they can come in here and and put points on the board so we wanted to just

Make sure we were you know engaged on every possession defensively rebounding the ball and we was able to move the ball as well to get some easy points there’s a couple ways what would you have done if he said rebound the basketball yeah that would have been

Awesome if he clapped his hands that would have been cool but there to me there’s two ways two distinct ways to look at this there is the hey if you could do this all the time why haven’t you done it up to this point that’s

Certainly a way to look at it and I think it’s a fair question I’m trying to look at it through the scope of what we’re seeing now is because of what they’ve learned over the first 70 games and they’re putting it together they may go out there and lose the next three in

A row and and then that maybe is out the window but I I’m I’m seeing little things that they weren’t doing earlier in the season and I just wonder if that is a team that big pictures still relatively new to each other maybe actually just learning over the course

Of the year yeah you know once again um I think what KD said right there was right on it was spoton and I love the fact that he’s saying we came out with a sense of urgency a sense of urgency a sense of we’ve got to prove it we’ve got to go do

It and that’s why Once Again Luke I think you’re probably right on this in regard to hey this is something you could you could get behind the way they played the last two games just hoping I exactly and and I know that and you’re a

Positive guy you’re just like I am I am an any an eternal Optimist that’s just who I am I always have been that way and I always will yet at the same time this is a team based on how they have played that demands um satisfaction and that

Satisfaction is going to come in the form of you prove it period That’s that shouldn’t be a slight to anybody no and they’ve shown this year I mean I I 100% get it if you are a Suns fan and you’re disagreeing with what I’m saying because

They have shown this year if you really start to buy in and believe in what they’re doing that they will burn you they’ve shown that over and over but all the twists and turns in this weird roller coaster ride the playoffs are seven games away mhm and they are in a

Top six spot right now a lot of that’s going to hinge on what happens on on Sunday against New Orleans but right now they are back in a top six spots playoffs or six games away uh and it’s not like they’ve been eliminated you know all all the down points this season

It’s not like they were ever eliminated I guess they were eliminated from the inseason tournament back in DEC December but there’s everything that they want is still in front of them and they’re playing their best basketball at the most important time yeah you know honestly right now Dr Jackal and Mr Hyde

Right we’ve been talking about this Mr Hyde was a monster for the most part ladies and gentlemen and the sons need more Mr Hyde they need more of that I I think Dr Jackal what a nice guy Dr Jackal was go ahead and Google it my

Young drunks what a nice guy um what a very aable human being yet at the same time he had the dark side the Mr HD side and this is what I want to see from the Phoenix Suns metaphorically speaking when they play more of the nastiness I I I think sometimes the just

The affable nature of Devin Booker Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal I think sometimes rarely do you see that combination of Superstar swag and a lot of humility rarely do you see this and I love the humility that they have but sometimes sometimes you can just smile and laugh your way through competition

And sometimes you can’t and right now I want to see no smiles from the Phoenix Suns I want to see Mr Hyde more of that and how they play and a little edge and a little nasty they need that yeah I I feel like last night was was some non

Non sense basketball it was it was more of what you’re talking about right there that sort of attitude we’re going to jump on Cleveland early and then we’re just going to end this game and they did not have Grayson Allen either I mean you figure in the playoffs you’re going to
