NBA TODAY | “Not enough time for Kevin Durant to threaten West” – Perk on Suns shut down Nuggets

And it lived up to the hype in the mile high City last night so let’s see how it went down the Nugget toasting the Suns we’re going to pick this one up early in the out in a fast break to Kevin Durant throws it down but then look I

Mean I’m saying when he takes that one step that leg and fires it off he did that against um true that’s his version of elevating you know what I mean yeah right but then Grayson Allen I mean he was hot from three to start the game first Suns player to start eight of

Eight from three in the last in a game in the last 25 years look this season he’s had the heater and he shoots one of the better percentages from three and I think they just keep finding him but why not when you so on to over timeall we go

Sun’s Up by two is where we’re going to pick it up yeah just couldn’t quite get it there Aaron Gordon we do and look we we talk about Kevin Durant late game we talk about Jason Tatum for Kevin Durant that’s a great shot that’s a great shot

You don’t want ran for him to take that you don’t want him shoot go one4 flat get low and that one point Kevin Durant was n for 24 before he start here’s Kevin Durant after the game I know I missed 10 straight straight shots myself but all of them felt great

Leaving our hands and that’s the name of the game you know you just stick with it and overtime we was able to get stops rebound and get easy shots on the other end I mean we’re not going to shoot the ball as poorly as we did tonight you

Know we just get a shot on goal every time down and you know we’re going to out shoot teams most night with the guys that we have on this team so in the big picture you know we’ll look back as this being a huge win so after struggling in

The fourth when the Suns finished blowing their 22-point lead Kevin Durant and Beal they bounced back in a big way in overtime they combined to score 13 points on five of five shooting that adds up to more points and field goals made in OT for the Suns Duo than they

Ever had in the fourth so I think we can safely say last best win of the Season maybe at least beating the Nuggets AB nuggets at home in Denver yeah but let’s talk a little bit big picture here because the the big three no Deon again last night they’ve only played in 23

Games for the Phoenix Suns they’re 14 and N in that stretch I would have thought they would be a little bit better there do they have time to put this together a championship team a championship run they do but they need that big three on the floor but I’ll

Tell you this a lot of people will see the numbers what did what did he finish with 35 points right in this game Kevin Durant I love the field goal attempts because everyone underestimates KD because he is so efficient I know that’s like a basic word but he will give you

MVP points per game off of what 17 18 shots he was intentional did he shoot the ball 34 times last night shooting the ball 34 times is him being vocal him being aggressive also looking at their construction defensively he has relied upon defensively as that second level

Defender so I think there are a lot of aspects to KD’s game that may seem quiet but him taking those shots shows that he wants to be aggressive he wants to win he is competing he Tu the took the tough shots and like this is historically something he has not done that I

Appreciate well look they have to I I we keep talking about it they have to be healthy right if they are healthy in my opinion they can beat anybody if they are banged up if they got guys in and out of the in and out of the lineup they

Can lose to anybody so when I look at yes is Kevin Durant good enough to lead a team to a championship 1,00% I don’t think his game has dropped off in any sort of substantial way that could say like oh he’s still not that guy he is

Very much that guy 27 points a game 50% shooting 40% from three and he’s having the play some small ball four and five so he’s actually having to help them playing other positions not having Bradley Beal for a large portion of the season and he’s still that efficient so

With double teams and box and ones going so for me if this team can get healthy stay healthy are do they have a great lineup no but do can they make some serious noise I can see them getting to the Conference Finals if they’re helping last night was about the little things

And I just want to see which direction the suns are going to go in after getting a huge win like last tonight are you going to continue to build in those areas because they did a lot of great things on the you know that for us

Things that don’t show up in the stat sheet so are you going to Trend upwards or you going to still take those steps backwards and I feel like this is a great great starting point for them especially at this point of the season but it’s tough though they have the

Toughest remaining schedule in the NBA they face the Boston Celtics that face Rich they they face the Boston Celtics twice in the next week I mean which Celtics which Celtics sure man the one that they’re the best team in the league they we don’t have to just like pet them

And tell them how great they are we can make fun of them when they pull a 20po lead without Donovan Mitchell with 9 minutes to go yeah we can crack some jokes on the Celtics everybody in all I watched I watched everything yesterday and it was just like Celtics are all all

Great team well can they be are they better than the old Warriors are they better than the old Bulls all I did was scare matter eyes and you like doesn’t matter no man I was watching Everybody Just stroke the Boston Celtics for the last week I was there

Just great they’re so over the for your I was not ready for the to to to light them up because the cat is just more of like this why I said this might be the best thing to happen but it might not matter which version of the Celtics

It with without Devin Booker in this stretch coming up here for the next week or so as he continued to recover either way they going to have to play him Richard yeah I said which Celtics that’s no you didn’t just say that I don’t even know what happened all right let’s move

On let’s go from yic and K to another pair of MVPs Giannis and Steph they’re in the Bay Area tonight Yannis he missed the last game due to left achilles tendonitis he’s officially listed as questionable tonight against Stephen the Warriors both teams have been hot as of

Late the Bucks winning an NBA best because Celtics aren’t on that streak anymore Richard you know stra game and then on the other side of the ball the dubs they finish the month of February with the second best record 11 and three oh there we go hello

World now I’m back okay big perks big list of players you don’t want to face in a playoffs and I look I know everybody will talk about SGA and Tatum and Anthony Edwards I know they having wonderful beautiful Seasons right now but damn it to make my list you got to

Game I mean what what more should I say you know what I mean when it comes down to LeBron and the playoffs he is probably better than the other opponent’s head coach when it comes to like figuring out the game inside the game while actually playing G like that

Oh Daddy Ball but when you talk about the experience right I understand this man is from akan Ohio but he resigned in the NBA Finals cuz he spent over 50% of his career in the NBA Finals bam at number one I ain’t going to waste no time y’all didn’t think I wouldn’t go

Show the big fell the defending Champion the finals MVP from last year the guy that looked like I don’t even know what to call him because he was more spectacular than any thing I’ve ever seen at the center position when it comes down to taking full control over
