Love your show. Go SUNS!!
Thank God Ben is not on this video
The big plus I saw in last couple games was their defence and looked like that they were loving it,specially against the Lakers and how about Ryan locking in up LeBron and you could see it that LeBron was having nightmare and that was LeBron worst NBA game ever thanks to our rookie
I’ve been impressed with this team so far. One thing that they definitely need to improve is getting shots under the basket off of cuts and in transition. I don’t care so much about running after misses as long as they get a good shot attempt at the other end. However, to be competitive in the playoffs, you have to be able to get to the basket. This will be a big part of Beal’s role as a bulldog, and Book will be able to help out a bit in that regard, but they’re going to need hard cuts out of guys like Ryan Dunn and Grayson Allen (which should happen with time and more reps together). Very impressed with Bud’s offense and looking forward to the rest of the season!
Great show. Sorry but ditch Ben
The actual real difference from Vigel’s approach is that there is a clear pecking order and KD is the nmb 1 player clearly… you were one of those people that i sosited last year that its Booker’s team stop the delusion…
I miss your solo show, no one talking over you or just listening to respond. I miss the old guests you would bring as well.
It's possible that Frank Vogel's system was so wrong for the big three last year, that the Suns winning 49 was based on the greatness of Durant and the big three, and not too much on coaching. This year, it seems that we have a coach that is finding a better rhythm to make it EASIER for the big three to get their scoring to be more effective. The one loss, against the Lakers, we saw an almost flawless first quarter dwarf into the issues from last season (the big three holding on to the ball too long) and they lost because they were forcing too many shots in that second half. But the rest of the games, you see Bud's mix of offense with disruptive defense work to make better shots.
Ben is good for the show. He brings a different perspective with more energy and there less of those annoying mouth smacking sounds from Brandon in between every sentence
Sunnnnnnsss upppppppp 🎉🎉🎉💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Enjoyed listening to your show again driving to work. Great breakdown of facts with conviction. Hopeful the Suns can keep improving with their roster options. Where is Brandon Duenas? Also miss him working with you but best wishes to you
