Here’s How Phoenix Wasted Otherworldly Game By Kevin Durant | Suns Vs. Celtics Postgame

Welcome in the pon X Suns post game show a losers Lounge Edition or a dive bar depending on how you prefer to call it it was a 117 107 Sons loss to the Boston Celtics but I don’t think it was all bad tonight not that I want to act like a

Loss is anything good but they fought their asses off against the Celtics team at least Kevin Durant and Bradley Beed I’m ASO he’s flax a 4040 Club edition of the program uh let’s just get into it General thoughts off the top General thoughts of about what uh what happened

Tonight against the Celtics um a lot of positives to take away really I I we we watched the game here together y’all know what we talked about while we watching I was saying it from the very beginning um this is the best team in basketball and so you you want to test

Yourself against the best team and it was no part of this game that I felt like the Suns couldn’t play with the Celtics there was a lot of self-inflicted things that the Suns can clean up um they had their opportunities listen we talked about it pregame what did we say tell them what

Did we say if the bench didn’t play well they were going to lose it was it was a battle of the benches because the starting lineups were going to probably cancel each other out even maybe in the sun’s favor and it was going to be decided by which bench

Showed up and which bench didn’t yeah Sun’s bench didn’t that’s right Suns bench didn’t and then to my surprise um there were 10 points combined from Royce O’Neal and Grayson alen not gonna win not gonna beat the best team in basketball doing that now do I believe that that’s who these two

Players are no tonight tough game go well I don’t want to discredit the Celtics defense yeah the Celtics defense is uh one of the best if not the best in the NBA right now and they played a brilliant game forcing the Suns off the three-point line that their defense on

That front was very good and they also knew who they could uh keep leave open uh David Rody and who they uh who they had had to stay up on and they did a fantastic job now should Grayson and Roy have still converted at times hell yes

Does Roy O’Neal have to figure out how to hit a goddamn floater uh yeah yes he does yeah but you know I I don’t want to discredit the Celtics defense because I think sometimes sometimes we can have a tendency to do that Celtics defense was spectacular in particular on those guys

Uh tonight so I don’t want to I I don’t want to discredit them but no no but the first half to me they made freaking Kevin Durant Tom Hanks in Castaway they left him on an island with Wilson and nobody there to help okay it was him in

The basketball and nobody and and he was scoring like on at will nobody else was helping because Bradley Beal in the first half was four for 11 yeah he was not he was not spectacular second half he turned it on he played well but that first half you know was all just can

Kevin Durant keep him in this and the second he walked off the court they had problems because nobody else was picking it up I think Frank bears bears some of the responsib not some bears a lot of the responsibility tonight as well yeah not playing B bow at all in the third

Quarter drove me crazy uh deciding to go to David Rody when you make your run and it’s a three-point game in the third quarter allowing Boston to do the Josh aogi no disrespect but they played the Josh a kogi role and said okay buddy you

Can go out there and get two wide openen threes and you’re going to miss him and we’re gon to come back and convert we’re g to turn a three-point game into a nine-point game just like that that to me was the wrong move I don’t think Rody

Is built or ready or been here long enough or has enough Sweat Equity to be in a game this important versus that magnitude of opponent so that bothered me again Bobo I think should have played in the third quarter I think you could have stretched some more minutes with

Royce and Grayson but you could have done a better job than going to Rody I’ll say it again espo this is the best basketball team in the league their defense is incredible but yet the Suns had multiple opportunities they create turnovers they’re on a break they can’t convert any of them especially late

There in game that’s not great defense on that part that’s lack of focus and execution for the Suns Y how many times I could count maybe four five times where they get a stop they’re on a three-on-one break two-on-one break and they get nothing out of it that’s uh

That’s something I know they can clean up and then again the two things I want to point three-point game late in the third quarter you go to David Rody it gets out of hand you fight back Sabin too at that point Sabin was another one

That that was uh really bad um and then you get it down to five under two minutes you had a chance on that on that break to cut it to a one possession possession game and it didn’t happen right you had two chances two chances back to back so it’s fivepoint

Game with two minutes left the best team in the league the best defense in the league and you’re getting nothing from your bench and you got two starters that went MIA and you got your your one of your franchise players in Street close and you you down five with two

Minutes to go man listen I’m not going to look at this loss and be uh upset about it I of course we like to win but I’m looking at this and I’m saying the Suns just showed me they just gave me a little bit of a

Snapshot of how how they can how good they can be um and how they can go toe-to-toe with some of the best in the league and so I’m I’m GNA take the positive approach y I know y’all say I’m Mr positive tonight I am Mr positive I’m

I’m gonna stick with it look there a lot of positives I I also think a few of our our old favorites the hits that we play here uh came back to rear their ugly head Frank’s rotations like we talked about and like you said they they can’t

They seem to I I don’t know what it is get nervous when they’re when they’re on a break you know three onone four on two kind of break and they can’t hold on to the ball they can’t make the the right play it’s it’s like they move too fast

Sometimes in those situations which we’ve seen a lot uh you know so there are some things that we’ve seen that continue to happen which are frustrating and I don’t think we see David Rody again if you want to go that size you’re probably gonna go ish Wayne Right once

You’re comfortable that he’s up to speed and and feeling that way but it was egregious to to not play bull bull more than 10 minutes that that was bad he he had a fantastic night 13 points I believe he didn’t miss from the field if

He did it maybe let me take a look here so I’m accurate bull b was six of seven he missed once he missed that three-pointer but he was almost perfect from the field was getting and scoring on cornette and the other guys that they were throwing at him uh he was very good

On his rotations defensively I think only one time was there an issue H he only plays 10 minutes and I do not understand it you know and and he also it’s it’s not as if they were committing to playing like big Burley all the time they took nerk out they went small then

They had Grayson or excuse me that Eric Gordon who uh who was atrocious uh out there when I would just as rather have had bull bull yeah out there because he was making things happen yeah yeah no as I couldn’t I couldn’t agree more man um

This was a night of the others the others and man let me tell first of all let me say Kevin Durant is I mean he’s incredible man he’s incredible I mean 45 points 10 assists six rebounds 69% from the field nice you can’t ask for anything more from Kevin Durant no Brad

Beal was fine Brad Beal came he gave he gave us enough he did enough for me to feel like okay you know what you did your part nerk was 11 and 11 okay so uh nerk was fine yeah I mean listen Grayson and Roy I don’t I don’t know what the

Numbers are I know my super producer e money over there got some got some info on that that we we we wanted to put together but um at the end of the day uh espo man is if if you just play to your averages if you just play to Grayson and

Royce’s averages well let’s take let’s take a look we got a graphic and this is this is the game here I know we want said the bench too but when two of your starters combin for 10 like it was just it was a bad night their shooting the

Shooting was terrible they combined uh for a what is this a four of 17 KN from the floor and a one for 10 from they shot 10% from thepoint L that’s the ball game now now am I gonna sit here and go no I’m not gonna go crazy on on Grayson

And Roy okay it’s it’s a basketball game they they had a tough game and you know what espo this is why I keep saying I’m GNA say this I’m GNA say this till I’m BW in the face I’m going to pound the table saying this this is why I think

This team is built for the playoffs you know why because if this were a playoff series and this is what game one looked like you have an an ability to make an adjustment the other team too but you have an ability to look and say what did

They do to Grayson and reyce today that made them uncomfortable they ran them off the three-point line okay this is what you do this is why I love playoff basketball because it’s a game of adjustments it’s a seven game series and like we know being up two in the finals

You have to win four I don’t give a damn what it looks like early you have to win four and I think this Phoenix Suns basketball team is built for the playoffs because when guys have these type of moments there’s going to be an adjustment period where you can adjust

Because I know Grayson is better than this we we would not be sitting where we are without what Grayson has done for us this year and so yeah I mean he had a tough one tonight he had a tough one tonight so did Roy but I’m telling you

Man I am taking positives out of this SPO I really am I mean and Roy played well in other are that he he had the effort it wasn’t a lack of effort it was just poor shooting tonight from Royce but you bring up the the playoffs and I

Agree this te I think this team is built for that and you got to consider okay no Devon Booker as well and I get it they didn’t have Chris stops but you know know Devin plays a big role there but you bring up in a playoff series adjustments

Yeah am I trusting Frank vogle to be the guy to make the right adjustments and tonight did not give me a lot of faith in that because he gave Rody minutes in the first half and gave BB few minutes and I I and but bullbull performed and

Rody didn’t do much of anything yeah that’s when I I wish i’ had seen adjustments going into the second half where I was Smarter with that because okay I get it you have you have a day or two to adjust in a playoff series but

You need to be able to adjust on the Fly too because every quarter is is a chess match in the playoffs and tonight he lost that chess match he very much lost that chess match and again it could have cost him the game in that you know you

Know what’s crazy though this is this is why I love basketball this is the beauty of basketball um it’s really I say it all the time it’s a Miss andake league right we we we know this here’s the beautiful thing about basketball is that we we’re sitting here we’re watching

This and I don’t I’m with you I do not agree with what Frank did in the Rody minutes right Rody goes out there he misses two wide openen threes the funny thing is if he makes both those threes we probably win this game right so I’m I’m I’m gonna call it

Like it is yes but if David Rody is the guy that they’re leaving open they’re leaving him open for a reason and and that’s again bub can hit those yeah yeah yeah H before it was the wrong call Rody most likely not gonna make him but

You’re right he’s he may be the hero if he turns around and hits those but he didn’t and the average said he was no you’re right no no no I’m just I’m just saying I’m just saying how close like I want people to understand that it says

117 107 there right but but also want people to understand that this game was closer than that this game was one or two shots here there and it completely changes the outcome and I’ll go to those two shots an NBA player wide open um on

An island could have got a cup of coffee could have drank a beer with you ESO and and he could have chugged two of them as fast as I chug them so if he hits those two shots I’m not I don’t think it’s crazy to think the Suns could steal or

Pull out this win so yeah missed him and he should have and he missed him Celtics was smart to sit there and leave him open it felt a little abdell nater is you know what I’m talking about yeah no and what I mean is when he didn’t play

For like five months and then Monty just threw him into the Western conf Finals or something like that like that’s what this felt like it’s like yo this is two Jugger nuts on prime time you know you you got playing the best team in the world and then out of nowhere you throw

David rod in down three and the third I’ll I’ll admit I don’t know if is was dressed tonight I did not look into that yeah but I much rather if you’re looking for a guy that has that bigger body if that was the thought I much rather would

Have ish way right out there because we’ve seen him hit those threes I mean remember the Dallas game last year around this time on National Television he h multiple threes in a fourth quarter to turn around and help you win and so I don’t know I I can’t get in the mindset

Of Frank I don’t because it it it does not make sense I’m sure Gerald will ask him about that in the post game and we’ll get some thoughts on that but you know what we live in the great state of Arizona and in times like these we can remember that

Desert Financial Credit Union what’s in the box yeah 117 107 Celtics win uh three-point line we talked about it we knew we were going to probably have to win this category we didn’t uh Celtics shoots 15 for 39 39% Suns 9 for 31 29% uh that in itself is your ball game

Uh turnovers weren’t crazy crazy you know what I mean there was times in the game where we made mistakes but 15 to 12 uh I I’m not losing my mind over that the bench points again uh we talked about pregame and it it came to fruition

Uh bench points 27 to 16 if my math is right I’m not a mathematician that’s plus 11 is that right yep and the Suns lose by 10 corre so there’s your ball game folks and then the non starters the N the nonar St the NSTAR starter so we’re taking KD Bill uh

And brown out and the the RO the other the other starters got got busy plus 13 34 to 21 so yeah I mean when you look at it that way uh the guys that needed to show up in their role showed up tonight for the Celtics and our guys didn’t and

Uh we take a l and it sucks because I mean you got such a great performance from KD right you got such a great performance from KD couldn’t do anything more than what he already did um um and for those guys not to show up It’s upsetting you know what I mean it’s

Disappointing but at the end of the day man I mean what are you going to do you got you gotta keep moving you got to keep chugging away um those guys a guy specifically Grayson has been really good the last two and so it is

What it is I feel bad that KD had put put up such a good game and and his supportting cast didn’t show up and help him but it is what it is bro yeah that was what’s in the box brought you by friends over at Desert Financial Credit

Union uh I sorry I don’t know I you look at the 3 line and I think that that was definitely I don’t know what was dying over there but bro I was like if it quacks like a duck and it walks like a duck I thought that was you behind the

Mac I was so confused actually you know what that was that was the sun’s bench choking that was Eric Gordon choking over there uh look the the game plan obviously for the Celtics was try to run the Suns off the three-point line stay close to him so it doesn’t surprise me

That they lost uh the three-point uh the three-point tonight 29 to thir 29% to 39% but it was that bench it was the the bench and really okay it came down to three guys we already talked about two of them and Royce and and and Grayson but then Eric Gordon that that’s the

Other guy we said it in pregame that you needed him to to hit you needed him to hit some threes uh and help out give that bench a little something tonight zero points in 29 he and I had the same amount of points tonight in this contest

Damn he I do not know what is going on with him but I’m at a point where the second any of these other guys come back I’m testing my other options all right because you expected him to come in and be a guy that contributed he was the one

Veteran minimum guy you looked at and you went okay He took Les to come here and he can be a contributor and he is not at least not of as of late and this is the kind of game where you need him to step up that’s where his veteran

Experience his ability to shoot was supposed to pay dividends and instead you get almost 30 minutes of Jack squat out of him and that is not acceptable in a big game especially bench wise right Luke mother freaking cornette a guy that looks like he should be in a movie with Matt

Damon hit more points than freaking Eric Gordon he had a bigger there look he’s hanging out with Matt Damon Luke cornette we go like it looked like your typical Boston dude that should be a CPA rather than a goddamn NBA big man and he did more than Eric Gordon did for the

Suns tonight did by a landslide yeah EG listen I I haven’t uh EG hasn’t been my favorite guy to watch lately let’s just say that uh it just just hasn’t I mean um I I I I’m with you I think once book gets back and once we get some uh you know

Guys like aogi back and book and a little bit more health I I don’t I don’t know what he’s doing for this team anymore like I I’m starting to question his true role he’s supposed to shoot the basketball he’s supposed to make shots just too many times where he doesn’t even want to

Shoot the basketball no he play 29 minutes how many shots you think he had three three three freaking shots that’s almost he almost plays 30 minutes that’s one shot every 10 minutes yeah that’s not it man that’s that’s what what a frat guy does on Mill one shot

Every 10 minutes this is a dude who like four months ago was putting out player articles about how he wanted to be more involved and wanted to take more shots and then he finally has a chance with no book and he’s nowhere to be found I if

If I have to see one more jump pass from this guy I’m GNA lose my ever loving mind shoot the ball and if you don’t make it glue your ass to the bench because this team needs somebody else to step up in these situations on the bench

And you’re just not getting it done and I’m not gonna give a free pass pass to Drew Eubanks either tonight Drew Eubanks did not help this team tonight either Drew Eubanks finished 0 of O he didn’t get a damn shot another one that’s out there and doesn’t get a damn shot 11

Minutes how many rebounds you think he got 11 minutes uh he average as many rebounds for per 10 minutes as Eric Gordon average shots one he had one freaking Rebound in 10 minutes I hate plus minus but this one does it justice a minus 20 on the court wow okay Luke

Cornette again kicked somebody else’s ass on the Suns all right yeah I the bench we we will give we will give a hard time to the starters when they don’t play well well the bench deserves it too tonight right this was just outside of bull bll who was six of seven

With four rebounds the bench combined for three points and let me do the math five rebounds damn three points and five rebounds from the rest of the bench not named bull bow damn Hey Hey listen if it walk like a duck and a quack like a duck and call a

Dinosaur it’s [ __ ] duck call it Flex clearing is throat into the microphone man yeah yeah I could do that again for y’all please don’t I’m joking no no no espo man is it’s it’s terrible it really is and it’s it’s uh it’s something that needs to be addressed like they you

Can’t have that type of Disappearing that and I’m seeing people in the chat and I think yall losing our point you know there’s some people saying yo the Suns starters out scor theirs I we know that yeah but that’s because we got a superhuman effort from KD tonight um but

What we did was we separated the Superstar players from the rest of the starters and the Celtics clearly outplayed them so you got outplayed in your starter lineup by your role players and you got super outplayed by your bench yeah I mean this is why I’m saying

No espo look at the score look at what we know that game really was that game was a uh potentially a one possession game with under two minutes to play with all if I told you coming into the game ro road star is going to get outscored

Plus 15 the bench is going to get SC outscored plus 10 the the Celtics are going to have plus 20 from the three-point line Sorry dog um you know all that [ __ ] combined bro I mean is you would have thought it was n yeah you get

Blown out I mean I don’t I I’m not upset with the game as a whole I think they showed that they uh I I think they showed that they can compete with anybody and you you put that together with what they did against the nuggets the other night and I feel pretty good

Because both those situations were without book uh and honestly the Nuggets game wasn’t the the greatest offensive performance by ktie or Beal until overtime right and they they wound up uh you know winning that game tonight your bench and Grayson and Royce disappear and you’re still in this game so I don’t

Think this was a bad game but there were a few people that needed to step up that could have made this a great game that you could have beat the Nuggets one of the best in in in the west defending Champions and then one game later beat

The freaking Celtics who have had a net rating that’s one of the best we’ve seen in basketball uh throughout in I’m talking in history not the just this season so this isn’t the sky is falling tonight but this is there were three guys four guys that if they step up and

Give you anything anything where they didn’t give you anything this is a different game and and that’s that’s the frustrating point to it right I yo E can you what is there going on average for the season you have any idea you know so so I’m I’m just sitting here get that

Number for you I’m sitting here and I’m wondering espo because you’re saying he played almost 30 minutes and we got a big fast zero his stats 12.2 points two rebounds two and a half assists 44.9% field goal shooting so you have his 12 yeah okay I mean granted a lot of

That was from his ear crazy right but so again again if you just take half of that if you just give me half your average now was a four potentially Four Points you give me six from him one Grace and three and we’re looking at a different game whole

Different ball game one you Banks tipping I mean it’s not that they needed to needed we didn’t need Hercules we just needed average average right below average if you get below average performances instead of absolute atrocious performances he you probably win this basketball game man and and and credit

The Celtics I thought the Celtics played good across the board yeah I I thought they played good across the board offensively they weren’t weren’t great but again how much is that is the sun’s defense how much is that is is the Celtics uh play you know not playing

Well I don’t know but but their defense I thought was was exactly as advertised in most cases they knew Katie was going to get his and I think that was strategic yeah uh Brad Beal came in and and played well in that second half I

Believe it was six of nine but they shut down everybody else yeah they annihilated him as real quick I just want to give a quick I don’t normally do this but if you give me a minute I just because this is you know we look at this every night and there’s certain games

That just don’t make sense so real quick field goal percentage Phoenix 50% Boston 48 we outshot him okay we we talked about they had us at the three-point line uh free throw attempts uh 13 to 16 not a big problem but we shot 60% so we missed six free throws but here’s the

Rest of it this the best team in basketball rebounds 43 to 41 offensive rebounds 13 to 10 defensive rebounds 30 to 31 assists 292 Ste 76 there is nothing in this box score turnovers 15 to 12 like there is nothing in this box score that screams Celtic domination no

Nothing there is nothing in this box score that screen Celtic domination it if you look at this box score and don’t look at the final score you can trick yourself into saying yo son’s beat the Celtics tonight cuz they damn near outplayed them played them equal or outplayed them in most categories

And that’s a that’s why there are certain times in the season where you’re going to take a loss but you’re going to look back at and you’re gonna say I just don’t feel that bad about this loss well okay so it’s tough because the standings are

So close in the west I get that and I know people are triping right and and I understand that people are concerned about that as well you should be but you also look at it and you go they they hung in there with who was which is with

A team that many think is going to be in the NBA Finals right without arguably your onea or 1B player however you want to look at it with Devin Booker correct so so I don’t leave freaking out that that things are awful but I look at it and I go okay you did

Fall now to seventh in the west and you’re playing this you know difficult dance where if you go on a slide you you could very much be in trouble and if that if you get to that point it’s that’s what’s concerning about it is the schedule’s tough you can’t the schedule

Is tough and you can’t you can’t lose too many otherwise you’re talking playing and so that’s where this close but no cigar kind of kind of thing the the moral victory is tough as well but they got to take care of business uh in another game that maybe they

Shouldn’t have one to make up things but God I I yeah no you know what ESO again I can let’s talk about this you make a great Point um I’m not I’m not playing I don’t want to play I don’t want to play that game I’m gonna tell you why uh it the

Next game’s Cleveland and I get that we’re seven we would just six three hours ago yeah you’re not far from five I mean we just dropped down to seven for tonight and then we can play Cleveland on Monday and win book may be returning on Monday by the way but we play

Cleveland and win or we could be right back to six maybe even five and and here’s the thing um we’re not the only team that’s in this L dance no the whole back half of the West is so it’s not like I would feel different if if you’re sitting at seven and you’re

Looking up at six and it’s three and a half four games you like okay now we got but we’re talking about half game like we gonna play Cleveland on Monday Donovan Mitchell’s not playing yeah but if you go look at that schedule if you’re not careful you could

Be looking up at three or four games back of that six course you know because because it is that close so I understand why why fans uh could be concerned because there is no you know there’s only a handful of e easy games left on this schedule it’s

Brutal and you’re going on a road trip that’s brutal including Cleveland you’re going to be you’re going to be against Boston you’re going to be in Milwaukee like I get iron sharpens iron that we think this team is as good of th as those teams but the path is not easy and

I think they will make the playoffs I think they will uh be the six seed or the five seed and they won’t be in the playin but I understand the concern that other people have yeah I mean again this why I’m taking it one game at a time

Though like you there’s still what 18 left I’m not tripping I’m taking it one game at a time you’re gonna play Cleveland well you know what just like we had a couple games with our book that cost us you know potential wins well I mean Cleveland’s not going to have

Donovan Mitchell on Monday they’re not going to have uh Mo uh Evan Moy on on on Monday right um so you’re dealing with that you get Boston back again uh with with potentially book bag that should be exciting man I’m not looking at I get what you’re saying I know there’s this

Fear of oh well if you lose three in a row where are you I don’t like to live in that space man I just I just feel like we we got a game on we got a game on Monday there will be games tomorrow let let me just say that too there are

Teams that will play tomorrow that if they don’t win the Suns can go back up the standings without even playing a game so it’s so close that I can’t get into the space of oh my God we’re seven we might be playing and by the way uh I

I I came on record and said I I wouldn’t mind if we’re seven I would not mind if we’re seven espo I I wouldn’t mind it yes but I don’t like any situation that you put yourself in two losses and you’re out right right that’s that’s the

Only thing because because as we know any given night in the NBA right you know like I just I don’t like that idea but but look the the biggest thing for me is you wasted another worldly performance by Kevin Durant that was vintage KD that was everything you could

Want from KD and that’s again that’s another thing right like he put that performance out there you were in uh had a chance to win but you didn’t and it’s one game at a time because it’s all you can do right now if you’re this team and

I think all all you should care is are are they at least six right that’s it I mean whatever they punch the ticket whe if they’re uh you know if they’re in the playin as well and if they’re seven they’re playing two home games in the playin at worst with you know and

Whatever but I want to see him get to six but we’ll we’ll see what they’re what they’re capable of doing but you know what if you feel like you just need to to take a breath right you need to you need a little time before the playoffs I got

I got a spot that you can go and you can recharge the batteries you can head over to heiler River Resorts and casinos they got the best food the best gaming floor the best sports book with our friends over at Bed MGM but that’s not it there’s more they got an fantastic

Favorite beers and events must be 21 or older to drink Four Peaks and please drink responsibly all right we got our G rpes out we also shared what we thought was good but we saved the best for right now and that best is our big bright shining star

Tonight damn it’s Kevin Durant I’m a big bright shining star big bright shining star he he had 45 points 10 rebounds six assists the man was in Fuego all evening and I I can’t say enough right he carried the team in the first half he carried the team in the second half he

Carried the team all evening on his back uh he was 18 of 26 he had a steal he had everything that we talked about he was spectacular this evening I could not have been more impressed with what Kevin Durant brought to the table uh and I

Don’t know why uh we don’t have a camera right now but we’ll keep talking don’t want us to talk about k k Katie shot the lights out he shot the lights out and now you can’t see is exactly what happened he got so damn hot that he

Knocked the lights out and and listen man in the last three games espo he’s averaging damn near 39 points a game yeah he was fantastic 39 a game since in the last three and so yeah man I mean Kevin Kevin was fantastic espo and that’s why I’m going to slightly

Disagree with something you said slightly I don’t like disagree Just Disagree take take off the kitty gloves I can take a New York punch come on all right so I’m G disagree with you when you say wasted effort and I tell you why I get what you meant wasted effort in in

In in regards to win loss um but what I’m seeing here’s what I’m seeing I’m seeing a guy that is starting to build momentum and starting to really cook at the right time during the right time during this tough schedule we’re going to need that agree and going into the

Playoffs and so yeah I I don’t look it as a wasted effort because the the the way he’s playing uh that that kind of stuff rolls over that travels and so yeah almost 39 a game for the last three games keep cooking dude don’t worry about the end

Results don’t don’t trip you keep playing the way you playing the end results are going to work themselves out okay Mr Jersey I’m sorry Sor no you don’t have to be sorry because you totally we’re not disagreeing here it wasn’t wasted effort by Kevin Durant it was just frustrating

By the Suns to watch him there deal with that go play his best game probably as a son right that was that was unbelievable it’s the best game as a son because of the level of competition yes okay fair that’s very fair he he was thank you he

Was the the quintessential Kevin Durant yes and I feel for him because that’s everything you could want from him he gave you everything tonight yes and the the handful of guys couldn’t just do the bare minimum to get him over the top tonight yeah that’s what I’m talking

About Kevin Durant was amazing and and that’s why you trade for him right that’s why you have him on the squad is because he’s going to give you performances like that he can go against the best defense in the NBA and torch him the way he did tonight yeah and and

That’s why I’m frustrated because they did him a disservice tonight not that he wasted an effort in any way there yeah no and that deserves to be pounced on absolutely uh his teammates didn’t step up I don’t want to say is the certain role players and we’ve called him out

Grayson Roy EG you Banks uh David Rody sa Sab Lee am I missing somebody not named bradf nerkish was was was terrible tonight and and and need to be called out and rightfully so but uh again man what we gonna do uh we got to get ready

For another game on Monday and like I said book book hopefully should be coming back uh Cleveland’s dealing with some injuries man so we got to take a one game at a time and see what happens tomorrow in the Western Conference yeah well it wasn’t just us that enjoyed what

We saw from Kevin Durant his head coach Frank vogle had this to say after the let’s see Big Time Performance you how hard it is to do what he did offensively while Garden an MVP candidate the the entire night I mean I don’t think people understand how how difficult that is um

So just a a really really special performance uh by Kevin Durant tonight um disappointing that we couldn’t get the W for him but he was awesome tonight I mean I would hope you would think he was awesome because he was uh let’s take a look at he also Frank vogle had

Something to say about their three-point shooting this evening yeah I think for the most part I mean I thought you know a big problem with with our uh our offense tonight was just overp passing in the paint you know what I mean you know I think the quality of Threes off

Look at the tape was pretty good for the most part uh you know but overpassing in the pain caused the you know gave us probably five extra possessions that we lost you know that we just got to shoot the ball or we got to spray it back out I mean

This team’s too quick with their hands um to turn the ball over like that yeah what did we say we said that yeah I mean they they they have a tendency to do that when when they have these stretches and you know and man you want to see them move the

Ball because we know when they move the ball when they pass that that this team is very good but they can overdo it and tonight was that like there were there handful of times multiple guys where you’re like just shoot the damn ball you’re right there you don’t have to

Make that extra pass uh and and the Celtics were great at getting in those passing Lanes when they did that knocking those away well while we were watching the game there were four or five that drove me crazy and it was the ones when you’re in the paint and you

Have the ability to just pull up and shoot and instead you’re trying bounce pass or make an extra squeeze something into a tight spot that it just wasn’t going to work like uh like Co these guys are too athletic they’re they’re too good with their hands they

Got two of the best guards in the league uh defensively so those were just wasted possessions and Brad Beal went to the podium the other day when we had a game I think 18 turnovers or something 21 turn some crazy number and they asked him and what was his response his his

Response was well a lot lot of these turnovers we just need to shoot if we shoot but then he went out there and did the same exact thing it was him it was him that I yelled at I’m like bro you just got on the podium and said yo we’re

Turning the ball over because we’re not taking shots we should take and then you just go right into the lane instead of taking a little flow to try to do a bounce pass to nerk and it goes out of bounds and so that’s the thing it’s like

They know what needs to get done but they just they they go into these little spurts where they just forget just simple basketball and that drives me crazy it’s tough though because the other night against the Raptors you’re making those passes to a guy in the dunker spot that’s getting easy dunked

Too so it’s sometimes it was spacing too tonight though there was odd spacing when you’re trying to do it and it’s situational but they do have a tendency to overpass and Kevin Durant even talked about that uh but we’ll hear from him in a second on overpassing but yeah that is

That is very much yeah an Achilles heel of this team too much of it but but uh the thing I love again I’ll keep saying as but thing I love is that these were for my money self-inflicted and and self-inflicted means it can be corrected I agree right

Yep let’s hear from Kevin Durant on the overpassing from the Phoenix Suns yeah uh I think I had a turnover early in the game trying to make an interior pass and and I realized I’ve been doing that lately trying to make interior passes when I’m already in my

Spots to shoot um so some of them you just got to shoot them and I think a couple turnovers I had was in transition we just I should have slowed down a bit and wait for my teammates to set up um you know so just I just wanted to be

Aggressive regardless of it all and play through anything and was able to uh knock some shots down and loosen the defense up I think we were just right there so many times you know they made big plays coming out each timeout they made and made threes got five out um

When we try to close the gap so you got to get them credit yeah I mean that’s that’s very true and we talked about it during the game there were a lot of times where the Suns would come down and hit a big three and then they gave it

Right back on the other end and that’s a real momentum killer and Katie brings up the way the Celtics executed out of timeouts and they were very good at that tonight as well so that cost uh the Suns uh you know it also cost us tonight yeah

Tell me our bets oh boy our bets cost all of us everybody lost tonight so I am still leading at 25350 that’s what I get for picking uh Grayson Allen to hit two threes in a row uh Saul is at 10876 Lindsay uh was gonna we we were gonna

Not let her have the tip then we let her have the tip and then nerk lost anyway she wanted it she so she lost her 10 bucks oh and poor Flex how’s the bottom of the well Flex I think you finally hit it yeah it’s getting lonely down here

But that but I see some light yeah I think that might just be uh the end of the season coming to put you out of your misery I think he’s just hallucinating because it’s so dark down there minus 15601 uh it’s uh so hey think about the

Bright side not like it can get any worse Flex oh my God that’s no it can $10 time every game like I’m in the I’m in the coffin the dirt is on me I’m I’m I’m I’m I I need some Undertaker stuff who who hits first Eric Gordon a three or you a

Bet damn that’s go it’s probably Eric can I put can I put money on that if you did he’d probably go 10 for 10 from the field Pro probably but if you want to get in on the action and make better bets than we are right now or at least

Center you know what time it is Eric beyond the light there shall only be one welcome new girl Gerald how are you my friend uh a interesting evening out at footprint a lot to talk about uh I want to start with uh with this though what were Katie’s thoughts on his big performance

Tonight yeah I mean from his perspective he was just trying to be aggressive Boston is a team that doesn’t double team a lot so they’re a switch heavy defense and that gives guys like him and Bradley Beal the opportunity to hunt mismatches and kind of go to work so in

His mind he wanted to be aggressive against that type of defense and he was um I think the biggest thing that he mentioned and Frank Bogle both mentioned afterwards in their postgame pressers was uh his and the sun’s tendency to overpass um it feels like at times when

They get into their drive and kick game instead of just taking a good shot they try to hunt for the best possible shot um and sometimes it looks beautiful but sometimes it leads to turnovers and vogle was saying he felt like they were probably five instances off the top of

His head that they overpassed it led to a turnover and it deprived them an opportunity to get up a shot so um it’s one of those things KD was saying I gotta get away from making some of those interior passes um because he noted that

He had six of their I think 14 turnovers as a team but um you know vogle was very complimentary he was saying do you know how hard it is to have that type of performance and guard an MVP candidate on the other end um like he was

Incredible and some of the shot making that he you had on display against this defensive team that Boston has was really impressive yeah g i I took a lot of positives from this game I I really did I thought the Suns uh showed a lot of

Fight this is a very good Boston team a historically good Boston team statistically um and I I’m I I like what I saw there there’s just a couple things that I’m a little bit uh Curious and it’s the substitution of David Rody when they made that run in the third quarter

Got it down to three um it just felt like I for my for my money it just felt like not a good substitution um and the results kind of show that now I know hindsight being 2020 I’m playing a little bit of Monday Morning Quarterback here but did did you

Guys bring that up to Frank what was his thought process around the time of that substitution and uh did he talk about the need you know why he went to Rody in that spot and what kind of what was he thinking no he we he didn’t address that

But it felt like you look at the first half and they had Sabin Lee in that spot and those minutes went really poorly he missed two three-pointers um and it was kind of funny because my mentions were filled with why is Sabin Lee playing Sabin Lee’s terrible um and I get it

When you’re in that type of spot against this team you need to be able to knock down those open shots he missed two open ones pretty badly um and the Suns gave up a pretty big run as those bench guys were in there uh so at that point Boogle

Went in a different direction with those saving Lee minutes and went to Rody because he doesn’t have Devin Booker and Josh aogi out there in the rotation right now they’re pretty short-handed in the guard Department right now um so I think he wanted to try a different

Option Rody got a couple of open shots he missed those as well so it’s kind of one of those things where you know we we used to get on manty for not making adjustments if guys weren’t playing well um um and now that we have a coach that

Is making those adjustments it’s a lot of why did he go to that guy and I I get I think bbo should have played more minutes tonight um but he’s not you know gonna fill in for Bradley Beal when Bradley Beal’s out and the other one

That I think a lot of people are harping on is that Thaddius young needs a look and I completely agree um you know vogle was asked about that after the game and he said at this point Drew EU Banks is ahead of fadus young on the Jeet chart

They feel like it’s matching up dependent with him and he could be a change of pace option a third option there uh but as of right now Eubanks is ahead of him on the depth chart so it’s kind of what I’ve been saying for a while now that it doesn’t feel like

Bogle sees him as a backup center for this team um it’s going to take a stretch where Eubanks is just really terrible and he turns to Thad and Thad really performs well I think for that to change unfortunately you mean one rebound and nothing else in 11 minutes

Wasn’t enough to go maybe Thad young could give us anything anyway not your decision though obviously uh Gerald uh what I I want to know is did Frank or or Kevin address the fact that I mean outside of uh of Beal Katie and and nerk you you literally got nothing uh from

The rest of the crew tonight uh was there much talk uh about that and why they thought uh that was what happened yeah I mean I had I asked both if they liked the quality of three-point looks because that’s the big one you look at Royce O’Neal Grayson Allen Eric

Gordon going combined four for 20 um you’re not going to win many games like that against the best team in the league especially when you’re already missing Devin Booker so uh it was just kind of one of those nights it felt like from their perspective like Bogle was saying

I I have to go back and watch the film but he felt pretty happy with the quality of three-point looks that they were getting you know David Rody and Sav Lee are not known three-point Shooters but those were wide open looks that you kind of have to take in that position

And then they actual reliable Shooters guys who have shot great percentages for the most part All Season uh or since they joined the Suns in Royce’s case just couldn’t you know hit the broadside of a barn tonight it was just really poor timing on their part but I don’t

Think it’s a long-term concern it is one of those things that we’ve seen role players around Kevin Durant and Devon Booker struggle with that in the playoffs just as recently as last year so that’s a little concerning but I do think the track record is on Grayson’s

Side in this case all season um Royce O’Neal is a guy that can get really hot or he can go really cold we’ve talked about the streakiness so that’s to be expected Eric Gordon’s the one that’s a little concerning for me because you know he’s a guy that they brought in as

A veteran to be able to knock down those shots to be a threat and it feels like he hasn’t been much of a presence coming off the bench for weeks now um and then bogul did say he hurt his knee uh late in that game that’s why he was subbed

Out and nurk was put back in really late in the game so we’re going to have to wait for an update on what is going on with his knee as well yeah and I I misspoke by the way I was kind of like Frank vogle and I forgot to say bull

Bull as well played a good game tonight too I don’t want to forget about him as one of the guys that played well yeah gee so you know right when we got on I told you that I I thought the Suns did a lot of good things they

Didn’t get to win but I think this is one of those games I’ll look at the tape and I’ll confirm some of the things that I thought I saw I I I like what they what they did tonight and I think that there’s uh a lot of things were

Self-inflicted from my end that are correctable I I’m interested to see what you think what’s your biggest takeaway from what you saw tonight uh versus the quality opponent we saw it against yeah I don’t want to minimize a loss at this point in the season because

Every loss adds up for a team that is you know right on the cusp of play in territory so it’s I’m not going to say you know it’s no big deal it’s fine but in terms of just what I saw in the court like this was a game where they needed

Devin Booker and you know you can say that the Celtics were missing porzingis too that’s totally fair but book against this particular defense matters because this is very much a defense that you have to Target mismatches and have guys that can create their own offense against those mismatches and they had

Two of them and you look at what KD and Bradley Beal were able to produce tonight and that’s the type of thing that having that third guy who can also that really opens things up in a different way for the rest of these guys uh maybe getting them even more quality

Looks more three-point attempts I think they only took 31 as a team which is okay not but not as many as 39 that the Celtics took so this was a game they really could have used book’s ability late in games to stagger lineups more so you don’t even have to worry about Sabin

Lee versus David Rody or things like that um I just I can’t put too much stock in a loss like this against the best team in the NBA they did a lot of things well Kevin Durant was phenomenal defensively against Tatum and got his Bradley Beal was able to get to his

Spots as well um it’s just one of those nights where you know the role players shoot hell 35% from three instead of you know four for 20 like those three did and it’s a totally different ball game well Gerald we appreciate all your hard work out there from the footprint Center

Uh we will talk to you early on Monday as we have a early Cavs game we’ll see you for pregame uh enjoy the rest of your weekend sounds good thanks guys one thing I wanted to correct from the chat it was Eric Gordon that hurt his knee not Yousef nurkic so uh Gordon

Is the one who came out late in the game and they brought nerk in for him let’s take a look at some of the super chats Don davius with the 499 Super Chat says EG and Eubanks have easily been my least favorite sons of season whatever we win

With book all good I think we’ve all been frustrated with both of those guys at different times throughout the year for sure go to tech reviews the $ five Super Chat says some takeaways Boston didn’t outright beat us Phoenix beat themselves and not scared of East Katie is incredible Frank’s R rotations were

Crimes against humanity yeah I yes I’m not saying Frank should be locked up let’s make that clear but it was not pretty tonight uh Travis L with the $5 Super Chat we know how to beat Denver with a big three 100% we can beat the Celtics 2 we scored the most points

In the fourth quarter so there’s that thanks flex and espo yeah Sun’s won a fourth quarter hey all right so the little Victory Snicker noodles uh I like that name 499 Super Chat we missed three straight open threes in the last few minutes of the game we hit those

Different game Horford hits a three Celtics up by eight game over let me remind you Al Horford is almost my age he was at Florida when I was at U OFA that dude uh is something else and unfortunately did hit that three but God is healed Lucas La Fontaine $10 Super

Chat this is just another result of the AY curse with our teams when one team wins the other loses hence coyote shut out Detroit yesterday so Boston came in and beat the Suns regardless though let’s [ __ ] go Sons I don’t believe in curses but I get

What you’re saying I believe in a a cosmic energy that the Universe puts out there that sometimes can be frustrating okay I’ll say that for it okay uh so that is our show uh thank you to everybody in the chat most of you are cordial and we appreciate that uh look

There’s another one coming up on Monday we are off tomorrow but we’ll be back at 4 pm that’s right 4 pm for a pregame show as the suns are going to the cess pool that is Cleveland to take on the Cavs so we’ll have pre and postgame

Coverage with myself Flex Gerald and if Lindsay doesn’t have the plague anymore maybe Lindsay as well so you can follow him at Flex from Jersey you can follow the show phnx Suns thank you to Eric Ruby behind the Mac for producing and uh all the great things that he does for us

  1. too much cope. That Denver win went to y’all’s head lol. You know I’m right that’s why ol boy stay talking crazy.

  2. Gordon and Eubanks continue to be terrible. All our minimums disappointed us this season. With the exception of Bol Bol. He should get more minutes.

  3. Frank's in game rotation and adjustments are the only things holding this team back. His 4th quarter offense is terrible and i see no improvements in any area. That's why suns are struggling

  4. It doesn't make any sense with some players. Saben Lee was terrible in first half and didn't come out with same energy as he has done previous games and instead of going hard to dunk or draw foul, he chooses to layup getting blocked. Eubanks just a nonfactor like every other game. EG I still can't figure out what he does, and he is a veteran who should be more impactful. He can't make shots when they matter but was all over the media asking for shots a while back.

    Bol Bol was the only positive out of Beal who carried his weight while KD carried the whole team on both ends all night. But the coach when at critical moment down by 3 goes to player Roddy that will not get any playoff minutes and goes away from the only positive contributor Bol Bol who made his marks earlier.

    Watching the game scratching my head with all the bs I watched. A game we had and critical to our season and we just gave it away.

  5. Although I don’t like the narrative of “this is the best team in nba and we stayed close “ because I think it’s a losers point if view . I still agree with Flex on e everything, if we got on a 14-4 in last 18 (which is doable and this team is capable of) we finish top 4

  6. Gotta say Frank Vogel messed up tonight , get it down to 3 from 15 and instead of putting your best team out to get over the hump we get Dave Roddy and takes out Nurk. What happened to old fashioned basketball, every time we went to Nurk down low he bullied people , why did we stop ??!! Let them pick their poison , you either put a small guy on Durant or switch a big guy on him and let Nurk score 35 . Gotta give the other team problems

  7. Down 3 KD was going in attack mode 1vs2 while Roddy was standing wide open. He had no other choice but to make the right play to pass to him. I just can’t stop imagining if Roddy was just out of sight on that play like cut to the rim so KD can rise up. With the way KD was going that was a guaranteed bucket plus and one to tie the game. But Vogel the 👿 had to put a non factor in KD sight to take away a masterpiece and a win in critical game. Vogel was the MVP for the Celtics tonight.

  8. Funny people how people in this podcast lie to themselves. Suns are at most a play in team. 😂

  9. Suns at the end still need more help they wasted the roster spot on ish Winright he did noting. And been injured the whole season.

  10. Don't worry Suns fans you won your Super Bowl against Nuggets, you don't have to win another game anymore..
