Frank needs to figure out a way to get KD some better looks. He draws 3 defenders e wry time he touches the ball and guys aren’t hitting wide open shots or somehow there is still no one wide open. Run more actions away from KD to give the PG options to make passes. A lot of it was just Beal and book out but still
When will coaches realize KD is not a facilitator, he has some terrible turnovers. Need more off ball movement and just let KD attack. He has about two just lazy ass cross court passes out of light double teams a game. Good effort, ran out of gas. That’s a game you need to take home though.
BOLBOL AND KBD
♥️Thanks bud for keepin us financially
Educated! Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, I still make over $20,000 every single week.
Ayton was a 7 foot 1 SMALL BALL center, ayton gave us unique combination of tall and quick that allowed us to play fast without giving up size. Size was never a problem for the suns except the bucks series and we will find out how tough life will be without a reliable defensive anchor who is also nimble enough to be able to close out games and give you 18 easy points a game
LBJ playing a lot of minutes with, and against the opposition second unit, vs both Suns and Nuggets.
Just another way to hide his years and inflate his stats.
And the game, just as Bucks vs 76ers, went ATS!
Think about that if you're a betting man, Vegas has incredibly long reach, rather bet straight up.
It's all good let them enjoy this win we will see em again phx with a full squad. They won by 5 against a short handed suns team. All good though. Suns will be ok
This bench is disgusting. Run some plays. Stop turning it over. Guess the bench is still ass
Weirdly enough, you guys seem biased against KD. Durant was awesome last night. How about we talk about how bad the rest of the Phoenix Suns played?
Lakers won but they really lost it took everything for the Lakers to win and Book and Beal didn't even play.
Guys half of KDs turnovers were from guys running away from the corners instead of staying in place KD would throw it to a spot and they would run away
Allen, Yoto, Gordon, Little not impressive. Durant played 5 on 1
How's that trade looking now 😂😂😂 nurkic what a defence anchor and then broke ass beal and booker missing games already….. suns will be lucky to get the 2nd round
Our bench has become
Overrated. Grayson Allen ain’t that dude.
Kd was awesome he was gassed by the 4th man f we had book or Beal we win by 15 points
It's unreal how you both talk bs about KD. I don't wanna think you are doing this to try to put more gasoline on the "Booker is the better player" narrative. KD put 39 with 11 rebounds vs a healthy Lakers team without a PG on the road and only lost by 5 points.
AD AND LBJ BEAT KD!!! KD IS THE FIRST PLAYER I EVER SEEN THAT GOT TRIPLE TEAMED AND QUADROUPLE TEAM!!
If Booker or Beal play suns easily win by 10+…if both guys played suns with by 25+
This take is very interesting 🤔 this Durant was double teamed triple teamed quadruple teamed. The KD take shouldve been very quick he made a few mistakes but was the whole reason we were even still in the game. This should've been a discussion about what rotations that the team may likely want to go with in order to have better flow and chemistry ⚗️
