How 23 games will predict if the Phoenix Suns will be NBA champions

How 23 games will predict if the Phoenix Suns will be NBA champions

[Applause] Welcome in it’s another edition of the Twan game I’m espo he’s Flex we’re running it like nobody else in the business around here and today we’re talking about the final 23 games of the Phoenix Sun season and flex I think it’s plain and simple right now the playoffs

Have started for the Phoenix Suns and that’s what these 23 games are for me you look at it and this group I’m just going to say it I think I think that they probably get bored easily in the in throughout this season and I don’t when you’re constructed like this I don’t

Think there’s anything wrong with that because you’re built to win 16 from April to June that’s right and I think what will happen now is these 23 games and the way they’re constructed will force this team to lock in as if it’s the start of that run Kree Moore talked about it

Yesterday it when you build a team this good with championship aspirations it’s hard to get up for some of these games I mean just naturally like I know there are people that are going to push back on that ASO and they’re like nah man they Pros nah man they gota be focused

Every night nah man they got to go out there and dominate and uh that’s just not reality that’s just not reality in this new NBA with the with the type of talent we have and the and the and the personalities these guys are more worried about the 16 they don’t care

About the 82 they care about the 16 and I I was told something a long time ago one of my guys said hey man don’t run from Fear run towards it I live by that you know I ain’t running away I’m running towards it if I got an issue the

Suns right now are they had the toughest schedule in the NBA correct okay I’ve heard a lot of people hit me up and say man Flex it’s the schedule’s tough it’s coming we got to watch out I’m scared and I want to urge y’all don’t be scared the Suns ain’t

Scared they’re actually looking at this as an opportunity saying you know what we control our own destiny brother let’s go out there and get it done how you feel well and we’ll break we’ll break that up I understand some of the thinking of well you can’t just not take

82 seriously I I understand some of that thinking and say this in November and December I was there because we hadn’t seen what this team was capable of January and February gave you a view of what this team is capable of and it made me feel better kept them within Striking

Distance for this final run and that was where I I felt that way but I get when you’re built the way this team is and you’re really it’s Championship robust for this group you were put together to win and I know every’s oh every no not

Every team is put together to win the way this team was this team was uh put together through these trades and Acquisitions to win this year or next year so I I get it and we talked about 23 left 15 against the West Eight against the East but it’s 18 playoff

Teams and only five non-playoff teams I love it these games granted some of them you’re playing the same team multiple times but 18 of these games are against teams in the playoffs right so this is this is the time to sharpen what’s going on with your team uh for the Suns to

Hone in and and move up because they’re playing games against the teams ahead of them in the west there’s eight of them right yeah uh and and they have I believe it’s a you got three games against the teams directly behind you and the Pelicans uh and the Kings as

Well so what you have the opportunity in front of you is to move yourself up in the west I mean to the point where you could be sitting and I think first is probably tough yeah but you could be sitting second third definitely fourth is is beyond attainable uh with with

This remaining schedule and that excites the hell of me these last 23 games are probably going to be the most fun we’ve had this whole season yeah I mean let’s talk about it let’s talk about you said we got eight I I want to say there in sets of

Twos two two two and two correct and I want to say it’s Minnesota OKC Clippers Denver Denver okay so so so I mean you couldn’t script this better like here’s here’s what you want as a pro athlete as a competitor you want an opportunity to control your own destiny right how many

Times are are you in a spot and you look and you saying okay we got 15 games left and we’re x amount of games out but we don’t play those teams yeah you got to get help from every got get help from everybody else a [ __ ] position to be

Terrible position to be in because you’re sitting here and you’re like okay we won there was let’s talk a can I I just want to take us a little curveball here this the Twan game we talk about everything let’s talk baseball for a second okay okay everybody knows I’m a

Yankee fan I’m from New York new J I’m a Yankee fan there was a couple years ago the Yankees were chasing the Rays mhm and the Yankees won 18 out of 20 right but they didn’t play the ray anymore and the Rays messed around and went 19 And1

Yeah and so they gained no ground you lost ground you lost ground it’s like yo we can’t play any better but guess what we don’t control our own destiny as long as they keep winning what we do doesn’t matter that’s the beauty in the situation the Phoenix Suns are sitting

Here saying we have an opportunity to chop away at everyone yeah two two versus again Minnesota OKC Clippers Denver everybody above if my math is right you’re three games out from the Clippers currently right now okay you’re four and a half from Denver we got Denver on Tuesday okay and then you have

Them again the later in the month as well you got them again later in the month okay um I’m just looking at this and I I know I can say this emphatically with the conversations I had behind the scenes I can in factly tell you and we talked about this a

Couple days ago this team has recognized the moment they’re in they recognize what’s in front of them and I’m telling you they’re almost giddy about it they’re like okay this is the playoffs before the playoffs and we get to be Hunters not hunted let’s go do it which

Is hug coming into this year you did not ever think this team would be the hunters and they get to go out now with the national media not expecting much of anything at this point I mean we we watched it the ABC game against the Lakers they were crapping on them both

Pre preal time and post right even after getting the win so there there somehow this team that was supposed to be the favorite now has no expectations across the board even somewhat in this town too because people have have really turned on things whenever there’s a loss so to

Me you get in that position right you you now are hunting and when you’ve got Devin Booker Kevin Durant Bradley Beal you know this is a group I’m sorry you put a you put them in a hunter position you’re in trouble and they did that and

Now this opens up it’s to me it’s I’m not having my nerdy boy go in a club trying to trying to tell the girl I’m interested I go do it and I got the opportunity to do that for myself now if I’m the son you go do it I look at it

And I go you ask for that number you say I want that number yeah I want homec Court I’m taking it it’s not anybody else I don’t have to rely on anybody else if I take care of business I wind up where I want to be and that’s what

These guys have in front of them and I think that’s that’s what’s so intriguing you can put the rest of of what’s happened before this behind yeah and and and and here’s the thing this 23 left espo I’ve broken this down to a signs like I I’ve literally chopped down on

Every damn game and I I will say this the first thing I need people to chill out with is don’t zoom out stay in the moment we got Houston Saturday right do yourself a favor while you’re watching the Suns have tonight off watch who’s playing Watch who’s playing who okay

When you got Houston tomorrow and the Suns handle their business watch who played and lost tomorrow oh it’s scoreboard watching time scoreboard watching time and the irony of it is that the teams above and directly below are starting to run right into each other and so the timing couldn’t be

Perfect you control your own destiny that’s all you can ask for I’m telling you listen the next 13 are going to be a lot of fun and out of the 23 I’m G break them into two segments you have the next 13 that I think are extremely manageable

And when I say manageable I I’m looking at these next 13 I’m saying there’s only a few games that I personally am per like chopping as a loss and and and that’s weird because I think this team could beat anyone but I’m GNA say Okay couple losses to me the stretch everyone

Needs to kind of lock in on is the last 10 oh that starting March 2 it’s a murderer row that last 10 yes that last 10 on March 27th is when he gets real but I think what you do in the next 13 is going to dictate how you approach

Those last 10 because if you go out there and you handle your business in the next 13 and now you got the momentum and you’re on fire and you’re feeling good and you got your swag back and you’re healthy by the way I don’t wish

Injuries on no one as well you know that I’ve had three major back surgeries off on basketball I’ve i’ my body has gone through it so I do not wish injuries on anyone but the Phoenix Suns have dealt with a lot of injuries this year and most other teams haven’t most other

Teams haven’t you know you know what’s what starting happen I’m not gonna say any names and I’m not gonna point out any teams I don’t like that Juju okay pay attention folks there are some other teams directly above us that are starting to have issues and they’re not

Minor issues they are significant issues that could impact things and you start to wonder are the basketball guys on our side did the basketball guys say man have all y’all issues early we gonna get y’all right when it works and yeah what y’all went through other

Teams are going to go through so yeah I’m excited about this time again I want everyone to be healthy I don’t wish injuries on anyone but at the end of the day my man perk gets on TV every night on ESPN and says don’t talk to me about

Injuries because injuries are part of the game so don’t change the go post now yeah but they always do they always do they always do and you know what what I like about this team is I don’t think they give a [ __ ] what anybody saying n

They do not care they in that you know what does LeBron say that Zero Dark 30 that he goes into right they’ve been there since game one I don’t think they’ve given a crap what any national person says I what we say because they know what they know what they’re here

For they they know what they’re expected to do and either they’re going to accomplish it or they’re not but they don’t care what that National narrative is and the final 10 Denver OKC New Orleans uh well that’s the final three three in March into April I mean it’s

Then it’s Minnesota then it’s New Orleans then it’s the Clippers then it’s the Clippers then it’s the Kings then it’s Minnesota I love it man I mean I love it that’s everything right there everything man I mean even even if you have a few missteps in in the next 13

You still have everything right in front of you in that time so I this is going to be the best period of basketball that we’ve seen all year and I think there finally up for the challenge because they they’re starting lineup with Bradley be and it has the third best uh

Net uh rating in the entire NBA yes right this team when healthy is good that lineup with Royce O’Neal uh even even though it has limited minutes also has a great rating this is a team that’s Prime for you know they had that minor setback at the beginning they’re ready

For a major comeback I think the time is now any final thoughts you got on this I’m I’m I’m I’m giddy because I I just I’m really excited about this man you know I said something on the show the other day and and I’d be remiss if I

Don’t bring this back up especially on a Twan game me and Es dime each other up you know I mean listen I said something the other day I was a little pissed off about the loss to the to the Rockets right and uh I said you know what’s

Gonna happen they gonna beat the Lakers today they going to beat Houston on Thursday they going to beat Houston on Saturday and they going to beat the hell out of OKC on Sunday that’s what I said I’m doubling down they’ll win Saturday they’ll win Sunday and then let’s Let it

Go Let Let It Go in Tokyo like Rocky what was that Rocky five Eric who knows was that Rocky five rock my man George Washington Kane he said letting it go in Tokyo yeah we gonna let it go in Denver on Tuesday baby I can’t wait and I had a

Nice conversation with my man Eric sitting right there yesterday we went at it before the pregame about them Denver and Phoenix Suns so let’s go Tuesday es I’m excited how you excited Sun Sunday’s the statement game and I’m I’m excited and we there right yeah are we in house

To take over get y’ tickets cuz we undefeated for take over get y’ tickets it’s going to be a hell of a lot of fun it’s been the twom Man game he’s setting the pcks rolling the hoop I’m throwing it up to him he’s Flex I’m ASB we’ll catch you next time peace

Out

The Phoenix Suns have a very hard test ahead of them, but how will the next 23 games predict if Devin Booker, Kevin Durant & Bradley Beal take home the Larry O’Brien trophy at the end of the NBA Season.
