And foremost we have a couple housekeeping things we got to get to ESO I know you have some very important stuff I do off top it needs to be discussed yes okay you want me to start with that yes okay 100% I’ve noticed a trend in National media that I am just

Not okay with all right I am upset I am frustrated and we need to discuss it it was mea timeses it’s Stephen A Smith and I got a problem with both of them let’s show the clips let’s hear it even though you don’t know the difference between Oscar

And Cookie Monster let’s hear what you’ve got don’t put any pressure on it let it go let it fly oh Lord no what was what was that okay Brock py isn’t a game manager he’s a game changer Sesame Street starting five who you taking oo okay okay first of all my

Start F Cookie Monster definitely that okay what the hell are you guys doing get off my corner my all right get off my corner Cookie Monster and sports that started here and it ends here all right and Mina I don’t know what the hell that was but that was not

Cookie Monster all right that may have been like Yoda on drugs it may have been Grover after a few too many but it was not Cookie Monster and Stephen A Stephen A Stephen A I love you I think you have some fantastic takes but leave the impersonations to a Goddamn

Professional Cookie Monster is my corner stay the hell off of it all right because me no cookie and you know nothing they stole your bit as they did and Stephen A they stole your B like a minute later sings too wow Stephen has been watching the program and just wants

A piece of the esbo pie and we don’t deal like that around here all right to be fair the people in the chat brought up that it’s Nookie monster for you not cookies doesn’t matter you what it you know where it came from I did that so

The Hensen people don’t sue me all right but we all know where it comes from I’m just saying man quite frankly I am not happy with Stephen A Smith I love minina so we all collect I think our agreement that we love Mina but uh espo you’re a

Trendsetter what can we say we could say stop doing it people or at least credit espo you know you got it from him there you go proper accreditation me not happy with youa K and Stephen A Smith you do not know cookie me no cookie psycho blue

Sent us a Super Chat and said Cookie Monster vocals are a true har Hallmark of Death Metal they are yeah oh no me love cookies yeah that was some Swedish death metal there we got happy Friday everybody we hope you’re having a wonderful start to your weekend here with us is there a

Basketball game today like the best way to start a show on a Friday I think the M Ultra kicked it everybody damn what’s in that oh my God 95 calories and 2.5 cards my friend that’s impressive all right now that we’ve got that one out of

The way we have two additional pieces um we already have comments in the chat asking about mil’s bridges and the trade rumors and all the things around that there is a video up on our YouTube page so after this show is over make sure you check that out with espo and flex who

Broke down and shared the latest around all of that so again once this show’s over you’ll just Scurry on over to that video and watch that one and then we all watch the game together and then we’ll meet back here for postgame and then the

Third and final thing uh we have to give a big congratulations to Devon Booker for making the allstar game this year and and on top of that being named Western Conference player of the month as well big Thursday for Devin yesterday huh yeah big and much deserved I mean

His numbers over that stretch he put up like 36 and five for the month he’s been on a tear these last two weeks in particular and uh this is nice for him he joins a list of only eight players who have ever been four-time Allstars as members of

The Suns and every other member on that list is a legend in this franchise so congrats to book and it’s nice to see him get voted in as a non-injury replacement kind of guy for once yeah no I agree and uh he saw what Charles Barkley and the like were saying he said

I take that personally right he went out and he proved that he was an All-Star over the last three weeks and uh and made it a no-brainer like it it would have been pretty bad if they had not not named him an Allstar and and good on him

Winning player of the month also had won player of the week for last week and it those are nice but the allstar thing obviously means a little bit more it does and for those who are interested we dove into that topic a little bit more me and Stephen Pidgeon and Garner uh for

Our take that for data podcast which is an audio only show that’ll be up tomorrow on Saturday so if you want to check that out make sure to watch the first episode that was great transitioning to promotion did purp I know I know but I’m impressed I mean

It’s like it’s like you’ve listened to the ad Transitions and went I’m going to use it for self-promotion powers and I like that there you go um yeah if you guys want to get that just wherever you get your podcast go in phnx Sons subscribe rate review all the things and

Like Gerald said that’ll be available tomorrow so you’re not going to want to miss out on that remind me to upload okay yeah that’s a good idea so Don’t You Dare Forget It Don’t You Dare Forget it all right so a lot of cool things going on around the Suns um but when

We’re talking about All-Star and tonight we’re playing the Hawks Trey young not an All-Star this year um I saw a lot of people who were upset about that as far as Hawks fans go and I completely understand their frustration like been there done that uh there was a tweet

That was sent out that Trey young is the first player in NBA history to average 27 plus points per game and 10 plus assists per game to not be named an All-Star For That season my big question is though is this just something that we’re going to have to be like it’s

Going to just be the new Norm at some point in time with the way that these athletes in the NBA are performing especially in today’s NBA like you have guys who are doing unreal things night in and night out I mean what was it last

Week where we had like 60 50 45 nights back to back to back and on the same night are we just G to have to get used to quote unquote snubs more often with the numbers that guys are putting up and until the NBA expands the roster yeah

Until they expand the roster like this is going to continue to happen I think it should be 15 it’s been at 12 since like 1982 and back then the NBA had 23 teams like there are seven more teams in the NBA now and the NBA has more Talent

Than it ever had in the 80s or 90s like it’s just a fact so I I hate calling people a snub because if you’re GNA label somebody a snub you are obligated to tell me okay who made it that you would replace that person with looking

At the reserves I can’t make a case for Trey young over any of them because his team is seven games under 500 and that’s kind of where it’s been for the last few years and they they added to jonte Murray to try and take a step in the

Right direction but that just hasn’t happened so it’s no disrespect to Trey young but he’s a deserving All-Star with a 15-man roster with this 12-man roster I that struggle putting him ahead of Tyrese Maxi Jaylen Brunson should have been started Damen Lillard is an All-Star so like who are you putting him

Over yeah and I mean on the west side I mean just look at the Kings who are playing well they have two guys in sabonis and fox that that are deserving of an All-Star spot but the second the the actual roster expanded to 15 the the All-Star roster should reflect that if

We’re treating this like it’s like it’s an NBA game which they pretend they are give me the same roster size on it that doesn’t mean every player has to get in the game this isn’t give me orange slices and everybody’s got to feel good and all that but they deserve the

Recognition at least to be named to the team wear the uniform those kind of things they deserve it and 15 seems to make sense now they’ll always be the 16th and 17th guy that complain well I should have been in there but I think you’re right Lindsay that scoring is

Going to wind up continually going up until until they change rules the other way again as as a reaction to the way the offense has been uh and because of that you see some of these stats tick up into a range where no guy’s everever done this offensively and not been an

Allstar and I think it’s a byproduct of we haven’t seen offense like this in a long time too and the league is scoring at a crazy Pace this year particular individuals in that way so yeah I is he a snub no did he deserve to be there probably may he get there because

Inevitably some guy’s going to have a hang nail and not want to be an All-Star playing the All-Star game yeah yes so well I mean I think Julius randle’s out for a couple weeks and he was named an All-Star so they’re going to name an injury replacement I’m assuming for him

There’s a chance it’s Trey young I don’t know if the commissional will go like by position or with a front Court guy but yeah Trey young deserves to be in there he deserves consideration but to me not having either dearen fox or Damonte sabonis over cat was a bigger snub in my

Book yeah for sure but it’s just one of those things that it’s like we’re going to have to deal with this more and more and more until the allstar format something changes there y because every single year you’re going to have a first player in NBA history to do insert thing

Here and not be an All-Star simply just because of the talent around the league at this level and what the the all NBA teams three tiered Five Guys a piece it’s 15 why wouldn’t the All-Star be a refle has anybody ever come out and said like there’s a reason why we haven’t

Expanded it to 15 yet I would imagine it’s because in the All-Star Game you have to play every Allstar and each team is going to want to see their guy for a certain amount of minutes that obviously gets harder when you have 15 guys as

Opposed to 12 that would be my guess but I don’t know for sure the only like logical yeah that would be my guess behind it I hate the everybody’s got a play thing too but well then you wouldn’t have to worry about like injury reserves either because the guys who are

Named an All-Star who are injured and don’t want to play can still be there right and still be an allar and go through the events and just sit on the bench yeah yeah but still shake hands take pictures kiss babies and they should be doing that anyways if they’re

Selected even if they’re injured but all right let’s get into tonight’s game Suns at Hawks will start by looking at the injury report which is looking a lot better for the Phoenix Huns you guys Grayson Allen is available and so is bulbo he’s available is this is this

Available or can’t play but has a uniform on I mean Tech this time it’s available okay fine then I’m inable I’m in then let’s do this Frank fle just wanted him to practice yesterday he could have played last game he just wasn’t part of the rotation that’s

That’s a thing that’s not what he said that’s basically what he said and then on the hawk side of things DeAndre Hunter and vck ketki are both out as well so that’s what we’re looking like as far as the injury report goes I would assume Grayson Allen I haven’t

Checked son’s Twitter here recently but I would assume Grayson Allen would slot back into yes he’s back in the starting lineup Eric Gordon moves back off coming off the bench um what is your guys biggest key for tonight’s game against the Hawks um just continue the run that

They’ve been on and continue to build in fourth quarters I think we saw last game vogle tweaked the rotation a little bit brought book back to start the fourth quarter because those lineups uh with Beal and Durant I looked up the number to start fourth quarters any lineup with

Beal and Durant but no Booker has been outscored by 50 points in 60 minutes together that is really bad and so vogle is tweaking some things it was only the first game of doing that their net rating in the last two fourth quarters has still been atrocious they’re still

One of the worst fourth quarter teams of all time since the NBA started tracking this type of stuff um but they need to continue to build like we’ve been saying with everything else it’s going to take reps and they’ve only played 83 minutes the big three together in the fource so

Far this season so they need to continue to tweak continue to figure out who they can put around those big three and how they can kind of stagger their minutes there so that when the fourth quarter starts you’re not automatically giving up a 60 or an 80 run to put yourself in

A hole so that’s what I’m going to be keeping an eye on because this is not a good Hawks team they should be up through three quarters can you sustain your lead for you know another game on the road here yeah I really think for me

It’s just play your game this is not a team that uh should be in this game very for very long right don’t play with your food don’t make the mistakes that that we’ve seen you make earlier in the year with lesser competition go out there do what you

Need to uh and and put it away as early as you can right like this has been a long road trip uh and the guys have played a lot of minutes there’s been a lot of travel have an easy one and and again you can’t Overlook any opponent in

The NBA we’ve seen that more than our fair share of times this year but this is a game if you go out there and play the way that they’ve shown they can over the last 11 games at times then uh you should be able to take care of business

And keeping turnovers down is key because I think the Hawks are top 10 in points off turnovers and they’re also big on Second Chance points so those have been sporadically two problem areas for the Sun so keep your turnovers down and keep the Hawks off the glass yeah

And if uh and then we also get the ner capella matchup tonight which I think will be a fun one just with all the history there with capella and the Suns or but still there in some way shape or form are you guys excited to see that match up yes because there’s an

Alternate Dimension where he and Luca are on this roster with book if they had gone that way in 2018 and uh no I it’ll be a fun matchup but like yeah it’s always been in our imagination the fascination with Clint capella like it’s like Kevin Love how many like for a

Decade we heard Kevin Love and the Suns Kevin nope no we need to put together an All-Star roster of guys who were supposed to be on the Suns but never were on the Suns larcus Aldridge Eric Gordon was supposed to be on Gordon he graduated got it he made it see Eric

Gordon is the reason why the door remains open and it keeps Our Hope Alive because we’ve seen it happen LeBron like what you’ve done for others still even LeBron alridge morning back in in the late 90s always always rumored Charlotte my oh yeah lot morning we’re getting him at the

Deadline never happened all bigs what about the guards a lot of big men no because the always been good at like except for that one like fiveyear stretch where they had none but we had all of them and then we went to none of them the basketball guards corrected it

Like we over corrected yeah it’s fine 100% uh es but what are the guys wearing tonight they’re wearing the statement Edition Edition tonight against the icon Edition Atlanta I like these Atlanta ones they’re they’re kind of more traditional with the red and the and and

The yellow on it I wish it had the Pac-Man logo but I’ll take I’ll take it like this I think it’s a fun match uniform match up tonight it is I’m worried they’re like a little similar they’re like different but I feel like some of the orange on the on the sun’s

Lettering Blends in a little bit with the red and the orange on the Hawks I would hope the black and the red are talking about like look at the Hues on the black got the orange tint usually and then there’s a yellow on the Hawks

One and usually it’s a color and then a quote non- color right you wear white dark color so that’s what I get I get what you’re saying from that I I get that and if if they have multiple turnovers that’s what I’ll be blaming tonight so thank you Gerald there you go

Now we’ve got a gave you an you gave me the out you go buil excuse psycho Blen does a Super Chat they said Curry Luca LaMarcus Aldridge LeBron capella wow that’s true that is a hell pretty damn good if you take all them in their Prime you’re winning multiple titles

There so oh my goodness we also have another Super Chat from Eddie thank you Eddie they said your boy was at the Suns vers Nets game loved finally seeing the big three in person hash go Sons love you caught a fun one at the end there with the whole Devin Booker male

Celebrations and KD AB how about the internet going at book for that not understanding context people are stupid well you you saw him and Mel jump right into the Instagram chats like immediately after the game right there was a video showing them dapping up after the game and like book was dying

Laughing at him because he knew what he did it was great I don’t sometimes the internet makes no sense my brain doesn’t make sense all the time either so I guess I can’t throw stones well people were like oh M looked at I don’t think M even noticed realized what was going on

Really right he noticed but he was like but at first he because behind him it’s funny cuz it’s true kind of moments but I can’t laugh because that’s not G look good no he was probably pissed in the moment but afterwards he’s like this guy it was even funnier because book was

Doing it before M was even looking he was just behind him holding it out and then ran in front of him make sure by the way I got yelled at for not knowing how to do this on the last my fingers don’t work real well help up the three

The number three and it forward it’s like this all right I got it now it’s a pitchfork you were close close but no cigar all right who you guys got tonight by how much I’ve got the Suns by seven tonight okay I want eight okay okay Saul

Has 10 I have six we’re all feeling pretty good about this one how are our friends over at the BAM Jam Sports butat feeling yeah they only have it as a three and a half Point son’s favorite here so I don’t know what they’re seeing but I’m not seeing the same thing

Tonight it’s probably just because it’s game six of a seven game Road Trip that would be my game yes I don’t know and the Hawks are probably pissed win streak somebody the Hawks and somebody brought this up in the chat that they’re probably pissed about Trey young not

Getting a an All-Star spot so and lemon pepper wings that could be part of it too so there’s a lot of reasons espo what are you putting your money on tonight I I can’t believe you did this I’m going simple Clint capella to win the tip because if you can win money off

The tip why not me so because he’s going up against ner that’s why you’re not going to win this bet is minus 350 for tonight’s game to win the tip you’re not winning this bet CRA the law of averages say eventually it’s going to happen so

I’ll be honest if I like didn’t pay attention to the Suns I would never have guessed that nerk is as dominant at winning jump balls as he is it so I would have looked at this and be like Oh Clint capella easy money there 250 too

Think that you know I’m I’m GNA text our friend Cole over at the Suns and see if he can tell me how many tips nerk has won this year in games played it’s like at least it’s got to be ridiculous right when you look at the odds alone on these

These on like the BAM Jam Sportsbook app you it has to be such an ungodly amount of times that he wins the tip for them to put it at those odds yeah like when I got nerk to win the tip at a minus 165 like that was good odds for nerk because

They’re always a minus 350 or more my guess is Cole’s gonna be like why the hell do you want to know this really I’m I’m working yeah yeah but but it’s for the people we need to know all right let’s take a peek at what uh solar Flex

Has what do we got here we got Sol stick here you always so he’s got a six leg parlay Player points Trey young over 18 he’s got Suns minus 7 and a half on the spread he’s got pord Booker 35 Plus he’s got P for Bradley Beal 25 plus P for KD

35 Plus plus and P for Grayson Allen 14 plus that’s plus 575 for that six leg parlay why why work so hard to get those numbers up just like there one little thing goes wrong and you don’t get it I feel like those are attainable for the

Most part but they that’s what we say every single night well I mean and they hit once every like 50 times just by Nature the more legs you add to a parlay the more you’re tempting fate exactly I’d rather just go one thing that has to happen even if it’s less likely because

I don’t have to sit there and wonder are these five other things going to happen I mean it ain’t working for me I’m still in second place everybody just has very drastically different approaches totally L is to like chip and eventually she’ll get you know 500 yards down at the hole

We’ve got espo who is just gunning it with his driver every time he steps up to the tea yeah why not uh let’s take a peek of what Flex is putting his money on he’s got a five leg parlay the Suns winning the total points under 249 and a

Half Player points for Devin Booker at 20 plus Player points per KD at 20 plus and then P for nerk at 25 plus for the game and that is a plus 450 bet this one is super attainable the under is what I mean that’s what always seems to hang up

Flex and his wins over and unders yeah granted 250 he had it 149 was that it 149 and half so I mean really that’s like that that’s that’s a ridiculously high number when you think about it you know especially if the Suns wind up taking a lead you know or score 10

Points in the fourth quarter all right so I with the I always bet on the Suns tonight I picked Trey young as my guy here only because it was plus odds which probably means he’s going to miss but whatever if it’s for him to make his first shot attempt plus

110 so I think I think it’s that he shoots first for the Hawks isn’t it no no no it’s to make his first shot attempt I promise you I’ve made this bet a it yeah it just doesn’t say Lindsay the betting master in her spare time she’s made this bet so many

Times I’m talking about here trust me guys I saw it on the internet so Trey young just has to make his first shot attempt okay okay and it’s a plus 110 every Suns player is in the minus in these which no surprise there um so I just decided to roll the dice tonight

And see if Trey young maybe decides to make his first basket It’s Not a Bad Bet considering it’s plus money it’s not very much plus money but it’s still plus money it’s still plus money it’s a Smith it’s plus money it’s adventurous for her it’s plus that’s oh there’s a plus side

I mean it’s a Friday night why don’t we do something feeling spicy how exciting let’s take a look at what the leader board looks like so Saul’s uh in first place with $156 espo in second with 12850 I’m in third with 6956 nice Flex is dead last at minus

1601 hello says Lindsay took a bet that Trey young will shoot the ball at least once take a bet okay at minus 2,500 I would win that bet she won for two cents you know what we you know what would be wonderful h it would make zero

Sense of course for this but if we just counted how many times you won versus how many dollars you had I would win you would probably win I would change my entire strategy then I I guess if things were different they’d be different they were yeah exactly if you guys want to

Get it on the whole structure of betting changed to just reward you for being right it’s like Andre Drummond being like if Miss free throws counted as three points I’d be the leading scorer in theend NBA listen if you guys want to get into the action on the VM Sports make sure
