They nearly lost at home to the Nuggets B-Squad
My man is thinking about Burgers 😂😭
3 non health concerns about them:
1. The 4th & 5th guy stepping up
2. Booker & KD sharing the ball in the clutch with the lack of experience they have together
3. Balancing KD’s mid range pull ups with CP’s spacing around the rim. He’s not super active off ball so it’ll put KD in an awkward position as opposed to having a Curry brother running around for you
Remember the suns don't have any bench
Team chemistry. Lapses in team defense that can only be mended by playing together.
Suns not winning.
JJ should try to be assistant coach
KD has a guilty conscious
If booker can commit to durant ..then they'll be Champs…that offense is to much
That piece theyre missing is MIKAL BRIDGES🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
They could turn Booker into a Klay type of player. Moving without the ball catch&shoot type. He was doing it while he was in Kentucky.
Damion lee is the 5th guy
A perfect offence
❤️🔥❤️🔥
Chemistry is a concern, but Durant doesn't need to be ball dominant to be effective (unlike LeBron or Russ) and his length at 7' helps with rim protection and passing lanes. If they gel quickly, they could win it all, but I think a team like Milwaukee with more depth and more experience together would be their kryptonite. I am less concerned with Durant getting injured than CP3 – his playoff history is…unfortunate.
Neckias is a smart guy
Plz I want gsw vs suns if they pick on cp3 suns should find steph and poole😅
So refreshing to hear takes/analysis from people who actually watch PHX. Great stuff
Imagine a finney smith on that team
Good stuff
I disagree with you Caucasian boy!!! 5150!!!
CP3 been knocking down those 3’s.
If I'm game planning against the Suns I'm definitely putting CP3 in a pick and roll every time down and full court pressing him. Make him a liability defensively and don't let him control the offense
Imma need to see another suns bucks finals
Honestly I think there defense isn’t a problem. They’re currently ranked 6th in team defensive efficiency. I think it’s ultimately gonna come down to Book being able to stay consistently great and Ayton staying aggressive on the boards and the pick and roll. The 5th guy and the bench really don’t concern me bc KD is so good he can pick up the lack of offense for them. CP3 is gonna go off in the playoffs bc he’s gonna be open all the time and he’s been shooting pretty good from the mid and 3. Book is the key if they want to win it all.
No way one of the big 3 aren't sitting out from injuries
i honestly think that their mid range volume might hurt them
Never heard of these guys but great guests. You can tell they know the game
They are the best offense execution wise they get a shot they want nearly every time. I would say warriors but they turn it over too much
They looked old slow & stagnant against the young nuggets bench the other day. No chance.
Good vid gentlemen
