Stephen A is incapable of speaking to professional women athletes like they are equals.
Cheyine so fine ❤
So it’s Vogel’s fault for taking the job? Why isn’t Vogel getting same support Han did? Also, Vogel hasn’t thrown his players under the bus, or used injuries as an excuse.
Matt Isbia is to blame. He blew up a good team for two more stars with the same game, one of whom can't play defense.
Blame the guy who built the team
"Phoenix is giving Kevin Durant 51 million allahs next year."
Back to the Lakers? 😂
Stephen Ahole needs to go away. He is a joke.
At least give the coach a decent roster to work with. He has a defensive background, but who on that team does? Nurkic or Beal? Of course not. Just like the Lakers, it's hard to blame poor roster decisions on the coach.
Not sure if Budenholzer will work, but Vogel did not know what to do with this team. He could not decide on a rotation all year and that affected the team a ton. I watched almost every game. He had this problem all year and it almost got worse as the year went on, because it was clear some guys needed more minutes than others. As a role player, not knowing where you stand also screws up confidence and how you approach your minutes. The offense seemed to also be a mess and guys didn’t seem to know what the game plan was, or if there even was one, even during the playoffs.
Blame: owner and players simple
so ESPN fired most of the former NBA male players and replaced them with woman analysts that have never played in the NBA. Does that mean they'll fire most of the woman analysts in the WNBA and replace them with men analysts. SMH
What was the point of the "follow the money" bit? Was it just to say to the girls that he's their daddy (big brother)?
Who did he mean? The players that have large contracts? The owner? And then he basically blames Vogel in the end right? What a weird rant…
SAS low key condescending af 😂
Stephen A. Smith is more like a father figure instead of a big brother😂😂😂. The man is 20 plus years older than them.
Can we please get SA and Shannon Sharpe back? Like whats happening on First Take. Im cool with everyone having their own show but im tunning into first take for shannon and stephen a. Please make this happen again.
Im not sure why Vogel was ever fired from the Lakers. A new Coach in Phoenix isn't fixing a thing.
Stephen condescending as hell. They don't need his tips on how things work.
I remember at the beginning of the season how people were talking about the Suns were the winner in the 3 way deal to get Bradley Beal. Yeah, they got the farthest, but they would have gotten the farthest even if these 3 players did not play at all.
Beal's contract might be one of the worst in the NBA right now; not only is he ridiculously overpaid but he can also refuse any trades involving him. I don't know what Wizards were thinking when they gave him that clause, and I don't know what the Suns were thinking when they inherited that.
Vogel is a great college coach
THEY ARE NOT NO BIG 3 NEVER HAVE BEEN NEVER WILL BE
Not Vogel’s fault I mean the GM trading away what they need the most which is a PG (CP3) trading away for a washed up Beal. KD leaving GS might have been a mistake but come on the Nets would’ve champions in 2021 if Kyrie and Harden eres both healthy and KD foot wasn’t so big
ESPN HAS THE WORST NBA BASKETBALL COVERAGE. NOT 1 PERSON SPEAKING IN THISBHAS EVER PLAYED IN THE NBA
Stop putting this Andrea chick on air.
How Phoenix gonna blame Vogel when they have star 2 shooting guards? That’s not gonna work 🤦🏻♂️
I wish that sports fired the players first, the coaches get scapegoated too fast in all sports.
Stephen has to stop the creepy soft voice s$&t
Devin Booker is to blame
So they need to pay him the rest of the contract?
Devin Booker = Buckles under the pressure
Bradley Beal = Always hurt, not dependable, and overrated
Kevin Durant = Momma boy, not a leader, doesn't take accountability
Frank Vogel = Always the scapegoat
Rest of roster = No bench, no defense, no championship
Smith is an idiot.
Why is Perkins still allowed on this show. Between him and Stephan A this show is complete trash lately
Andrea can have my child
Vogel back to the Lakers!
Where’s the same outrage they showed about Darvin Ham’s firing? Different narrative for some reason 🤔
