The floor KD finished with 12 points on 4 10 shooting Gil at one that I saw them when the uh Luca made a three and they went up 16 MH I come back down and it’s TI 5858 I said hold on what happened I go back upstairs
To brush my teeth and I come back down and the the Sun’s Up by like I like hold on wait a so I come downstairs I’m changing all the TVs because I think something done glitched upstairs I guess they went on the street where they didn’t miss with like three
Or four shots over the course of like 16 minutes yeah it was called that Devon Booker effect that that Deon book that Deon Booker got wild he got he got loose on him but that’s what can happen when you dealing with the Suns because you remember over the last couple of games
Book had a game where he went for 52 then KD had a couple of games where he go for 40s and then here come book following up with another 46o performance and that’s what happens one of those guys can get hot and we haven’t seen that kind of hot shooting from
Bradley Bal we know he can get hot and light you up but what we have seen is book and KD alternating games in which each one of those guys goes off yeah you know when we’re watching this team right now and we said we haven’t you know
Watched uh bill go off yet he’s only taking about eight like tonight he only took eight shots five for eight still killing right you know he hasn’t taken his 15 16 shots I think he’s still trying to get a field for KD didn’t play very well today only took 10 shots right
He had a double little double double almost a triple double but book but uh Booker carried the load for them today and that’s how good they are right um without Kyrie on that side it’s like they’re playing all right you gonna go 50 today and then you gonna miss
Tomorrow and I’m gonna come and get you 50 right we need to see Kyrie and Luca together playing some some some games to see what they really have right now everybody’s been you know subbing in basically subbing in for each other right you’re looking at the Box line
Devin Booker had 46 Grayson Allen had 15 five of eight three of five from the three-point line Bradley Bill was eight of 15 three of seven he had 20 as you mentioned KD played 36 38 minutes didn’t have a great shooting night uh you know
You know KD had a bad night when he goes 47 from the free throw line no facts right so you know all of a sudden he strug he he’s struggling with his he struggled with his shot tonight he’s over four from the three four or 10 from
The floor so he shot 40% from the uh field he shot uh 0% from the three-point line and he’s uh what 547 is what 60% from the three from the free throw line so you know Kevin Kevin Durant didn’t have it tonight but Devin Booker did 17
Of 23 six of 10 from the uh three-point line and six of eight from the free throw line 46 points plus uh 33 plus minus frustrated with ticket buying experience game time is the only ticket out that gives you peace of mind with your purchase they let you see the view

Where do you have the Suns now after seeing them they seem to be getting it together where do you think how high do you think they can go and how deep do you think they can make a run in the playoffs it’s hard to judge them
Because we haven’t seen all three have a great game to see what their potential is right you know we we we know when one has a great game or two has a great game you know okay they’re going to win a game I want to see where their ceiling is
When all three are making shots when all three you got one at 40 you got another one probably at 40 another one at like 28 I want to see what the big three look like when they’re all playing well to see how Untouchable they actually look you do you think that’s realistic
Because what you just mentioned is is the the three guys having 108 points I’m thinking all three of these guys together having something around high 70s to 90 points is a great great game you mentioned 108 for the three can they all get enough shots in order for to
Make this happen yeah I mean it’s it’s it’s it’s it’s enough shots it’s just making shots when they’re all making shots together like if KD would have went eight for 10 four for four from the three made all his free throws you know you looking at 25 26 points right so you
Know it’s well I just want to see like when they’re all clicking at the same time how scary does it look cuz in the playoffs all you need is three of those at the right time some game sevens a game six like you know what I mean like
We need to see what it happens when it looks all there together and that’s what I’m waiting for right now they they they still look beatable right but when you look at when you look at it are you sure we’re GNA be able to see that because we
Got a situation and we see Devin Booker get it going so it’s almost like they give up their game and maybe KD got out of rhythm because he wasn’t getting the shots that he would normally take because because okay we gonna feed the hot hand but it’s still even even with
With with Booker Booker only missed six shots right yes right that’s why I’m saying if KD’s eight for 10 and but four for four from the the three-point line if if Beal makes two more shots and he’s 10 for 15 right though those are going
To happen right we just need to see it to see what it looks like when when they’re both like when you know when um Katie Curry and Clay when they all was hitting right oh Lord Jesus yeah but see when they was always hitting that’s a 30
A 26 and a 22 you you said you want a 40 40 and a 28 hey in today’s game [ __ ] they putting up that many points yeah they putting up that many points where they could do that right yeah I the M you’re right when you look at the
Mavericks no I mean none of the starters were in double figures except Luca uh green had eight Li the second had eight Derek Jones Jr had six Grant Williams had eight yeah if if you get that kind of production out of your starters you’re not you’re not going to win
Obviously they miss Kyrie Kyrie you know Kyrie’s gonna give you somewhere 22 to 28 points uh so maybe that that would have been enough to kind of offset what they were doing but yeah the the Mavericks are so under man without Kyrie because basically it’s a two-man team
Everybody else try to get in where they fit in but this is a two-man team and one of the men were out I didn’t really expect them I didn’t expect the game to flip like it did but I didn’t expect the the Mavericks to win this game yeah yeah
But see this is a game where Tim Hardaway Jr right he what is he coming off the bench for they got they got they they got a juggernaut team coming in here of scoring we need to put our best scorers on the court your your second best player that’s right now playing
When you take Kyrie out is is uh Tim Hardway Jr why is Off the Bench still like let that [ __ ] go let that old mentality go where you have a bunch of defensive players that can’t score 668 eight like what are they on the flooor for you got to match scoring at this
Point do do you think of situation that if you take him and you take him out Off the Bench you’re gonna lose so much of your bench scoring but it’s it’s the same if I can’t keep up with the starting five and then I got to sub him in anyway what’s
The point right me coming off the bench and I got a guy coming off the bench against their bench players doesn’t really do me any good cuz he has to make up this 177 point this 15o lost it never made sense right let bench players play against bench players because what’s
Happening is you have bench players trying to guard Booker right right and Booker don’t have to play no defense who he had to guard who he had to guard today right green green well well if you really look at it thoughh uh Gil Hardway Jr basically played start a minute Grant Williams
Only played 11 minute uh Derrik Jones Jr only played 24 minutes so theoretically even though he’s a he’s coming off the bench he’s really playing starter minutes kind of like Lou Will and Tre did when they played with the Clippers that last year they ended up playing starters minute even though they was
Coming off the bench because more times than not they would end up closing the games and so they ended up getting the LI share of the minutes but I understand what you’re saying is that look we need to match their scoring so if we’re down by 20 it doesn’t matter what he’s gonna
Come in and give us off the bench we already down too far yes

TLDR… No.
NO!
No coverage on the lakers choking again 😂
Suns are kind of a super team, though of course they can go to the finals
If they had a better coach. Ask the lakers
Gilbert don't forgot that Suns kinda showed
us some of their potential in the Pacers game where KD had 40pts Beal 25pts Booker gave us 26pts
The past 10 games they’ve been top 10 defense… suns in 6
Their defense might be shaky but if KD Booker n Beal are hooping like this with Allen hitting 3’s like this it’s a nightmare
Suns and Celtics or 76 in finals.
The Suns are gonna get whooped in the playoffs.
so we will just ignore that clippers are the best team right now?
Is Tristan Thompson suspended for 25 games.
Isn't he one of LeBron closest friends. For testing positive
For PED wow. The media
Definitely keeping quiet about
This 🤫🤔
Gil, Unc cmon hahahahahaah😅😅🧤🧤🧤
Gil takes are the same as macant he act like them 3 post to average 120 together never going to happen they need a bench support them
Didn’t they already have a game when all three had a game of 90 points combined
If all of them together can score 75-90 that’s perfect. The rest of the players need to produce. Allen should get 10-20 and your bench 20-30 collectively. You’re gonna win.
So they ain’t gonna talk about kd défense
you didn't talk about Harbaugh to the Chargers???
Whats everyones stance on kd vs steph? I dont even think its fair since kd hasnt won before curry or after, and hes never managed to keep a team at the top hes always requesting trades steph is a corner stone kd is a extremely nice rental car yea its great but you wont have it for long
Bruh all they have to do is swing the damn ball they all great scorers they gonna score anyway but if everyone is standing around watching the other person dribble its easy to gaurd run some plays move the ball
Beal did score 37 against the Lakers on the road. he's been a bit quieter, but has started to play better lately. the chemistry is still developing.
also KD and Booker already had some games where Booker went for 45+ and Durant for another 30+ in the playoffs last year. they just had zero production from anyone else. They don't really need Beal to be incredible. if they'd had another guy putting up 20, they might have beaten Denver (and if they had, they likely would have won the championship). Denver and LAC would be the tough hurdles for them this year… and given that LAC now has Harden, probably just Denver. it also lets 1-2 of the big 3 play more minutes with the bench unit and take a lot of pressure off KD/Book where they can play 35-40 minutes instead of 45 in key games. if Beal shines, though, it would be fantastic to see what they're capable of.
Lefake fan boy stay out of Suns business
This is why it's so frustrating with the Lakers
Nuggets 3rd best player is Micheal Porter Jr
Suns 3rd best player is Bradley Beal
Unk still takes shots at KD 😂 he didn’t have it tonight 😂 he didn’t have too what about his defense? How about how selfless he is 10 shots he clearly took the night off!
So we not done talk about the suns defense wow terrible take! Suns were down big and put the clamps on the mavs on the roads let’s address that fellas!
IDK KD was still defending well and mind you all the double teams he still created plays for others Might be 1st team Defense
