Are the Suns the BIGGEST Threat to the Nuggets?

Are the Suns the BIGGEST Threat to the Nuggets?

And I really hope it does you know for selfish reasons uh Suns Cavs wow we got the big three bag don’t look now combined for 88 points a win over Cleveland Kevin Durant 37 and8 Devin Booker with 277 assists and Bradley Bill with his 24 Devin Booker is back from

The ankle sprain and they combine for those 88 if if Chandler we could keep this big three on that Court how much damage are they capable of doing come playoffs a lot a lot and then when you get the big three like you got last night I know the Cavs are banged up

They’re missing three starters and they’ve been dealing with their own issues but this is what makes this team so scary I don’t want to play this team four to seven times in the playoffs when they have three guys that can go and get you 40 on any given night and you have

Guys like Grayson Allen have a career year you have nerkish that’s being you know Pro just dominating the glass having a hell of a season two but this is what makes them the scariest team I think in the NBA they’re not the best Celtics nuggets I think they’re better

Teams but when you get them rolling like this and you get them in the playoffs you can’t stop them you can’t stop everything you can’t double team KD or Booker because then the other two are going to have wide open shots when you have a guy like Grace Allen who’s

Arguably the best shooter in the NBA this year he’s getting more open looks than he ever have and has and he’s taken full advantage of it so it’s it’s tough and this is why Frank vogle is sitting here after the game saying listen we can be really a lead and I believe them

Because they haven’t been on the floor that much and when they are and they have games like this you’re like a damn this is something special so I I hope they stay healthy because the western conference is stacked as it is I think this team has a chance to be a top you

Know Clippers Nuggets and them I’ve said that for the last couple months now it’s those three teams to me and that’s no disrespect to the timber it’s no disrespect to to to the Thunder I just trust these three older experienced teams more and the talent the offensive Firepower that Phoenix it’s undeniable

So when they get going like this I said you can’t take away every option someone’s going to eat that night and you can’t you can’t control all of them Lou look we dis I I don’t even know that we’re purposely disrespecting the Pelicans but Chandler mentioned Nuggets

Clippers Suns and the Suns we as we know we haven’t gotten to see the big three over and over and over again but for you I know you’re big Clippers you’ve got them going through the West this you given this Sun’s team a chance at all hell yeah when they when they play

Like this you gotta you got be mindful what what you’re seeing you’re seeing three of the most elite mid-range players of all time and playoff basketball comes down to half court offense so when you got three weapons like that that you can post up you can play in the mid Post in the

Mid-range that can face up and make shots over guys make tough shots and can play together you’re going to have a very dangerous team and so I I look forward to it my only problem with this Phoenix Suns team we just hadn’t seen enough of it can they be very dangerous

Sure but right now we’re looking at that lion in the glass we need that we need the glass to be broken right now and put some real fear in these teams and they got to start putting a run together where you like oh oh they’re dead

Serious this is a for real team because right now we’ve only seen it in spurts we hadn’t seen the consistency being a big three and a great team but if they can do what they did last night and put pressure on teams like this come postseason it’s going to be a scary

Sight for anybody matching up with the Phoenix Suns what’s what’s Crazy Lou is they were getting smacked in the second they were down I think 20 points but they’re all like I said those three guys I think they went on like a 45 to 10 run or something because you cannot stop

Them so they’re never out of a game I don’t care if they’re down eight they’re down 28 like they are never out of the game to that so that is a luxury to have this much offensive Firepower with really good role players like the Royce O’Neal like the nerkish so they’re in a

Really good spot if they can stay healthy I’m telling you Lou like if they get the three seed and the Minnesota timber or thunder or the or the or six seed versus the three seed you got them beating them in the in the playoffs gon be tough it’s gonna be like it’s gonna

Come down to it’s gonna come down to half court offense and who would you want better than Devin Booker Bradley Bill and Kevin Durant to be the guys that you say okay the game is slowing down a little bit we need a bucket every time down the floor close your eyes and

Pick one of those guys man they going to get a B doesn’t matter yeah literally it does not matter and no there’s no three Defenders on any team that can match up with those three offensive players so like you said it’s crazy and we’re just

Now kind of seeing it we haven’t seen a year just because of injuries but it’s it’s when especially in the playoffs you know when it slows down the half court you can’t take away every option so if they’re all three cooking like they did last night they’re not losing many games

They’re gonna have a mismatch no matter who they play some one of one of the three of those guys are gonna have a mismatch you know a lot of teams you might have one or two Elite Defenders nobody has three you know what I’m saying nobody has three Elite Defenders

Somebody is going to have a field day every single game in the playoffs it is crazy how much more different it is when Booker’s out there because we saw Durant over the weekend trying to get it all done and he had a monster game and it

Was a loss and now you put Devon Booker back in and like you guys are saying there’s no stopping him Kevin Durant by the way at 35 years old let’s not underestimate what it is he’s been doing so far he’s averaging 28 and a half points he’s shooting almost 53% from the

Field and 42 and a half% from three are we not talking enough Lou about KD in the season he’s having we we not we you know he should be getting more attention I think he’s just I think he’s a he’s a victim of just being quiet you know and you look

At Luca you look at uh you look at Joker and you look at uh what SGA has been able to accomplish over this season they got really big Gody historical numbers and then you throw in a wimy as well who’s who’s a rookie who’s changing the landscape of the league as well Kevin

Durant is only did one thing he’s been consistent he’s done his job and every and tried to give the Phoenix Suns an opportunity to win games each and every night that he’s been healthy so I think he’s having a consistent season but he’s just a victim of other guys being uh a

Lot louder and a lot more and it’s crazy is 53% from the field the shots he takes it’s not like they’re easy he’s posting up off the block he steep back he’s taken long threes and Kevin Durant he’s on the floor he’s played 58 games and no matter what talk

say what you want about him going to the to Super teams he went to the Warriors he was the best player on that team now went to the Suns this big three with Devon Booker he’s the best player on this team so everywhere he goes he’s

The guy everywhere he goes he carries the load everywhere he goes he puts up MVP First Team all NBA type numbers so the guy’s unbelievable he’s been doing it forever and the fact that he’s healthy and he’s been in the lineup when guy when Devon’s been out when Bradley

Beal’s been out he’s been the guy consistently for this team so he’s having a great year he’s having an efficient year like I said 53 and 43% that’s insane because he’s getting doubled he’s taking step backs he’s not taking high percent shots yet he’s shooting a high percentage so we’re not

Talking about him just because SGA and joic and Luca are putting up these nuts numbers but this guy is is all NBA and and we should be talking about him more if the suns were winning more and if they were healthy this season we would be talking about them more because they

Would be a top three team in the in the West it only takes five minutes of watching a Sun’s Game to remind yourself like oh that’s right that he’s fun to watch I I like watching Kevin Durant your biggest takeaway Shams from this win for

Phoenix I mean I think we’ve hit on it Kevin Durant a massive season and just think about it in 2019 he has the Achilles tear and now he’s in his age 35 season he’s got the most 30o games for a player in in his 30 in his 35 years of

Age like what he’s doing this season is remarkable especially the last four games or so he’s been taking up in even another level with Devon Booker out uh I mean 38 points the night 54% from the field 47% from three so he’s doing everything this team is 19-9 since

January 8th and even though they’ played 41 games this year without the big three just 24 with them I think these next few weeks it’s like just building momentum with those three in the lineup you have to have them and they’ve struggled down the stretch of some of these games and

Like Lou and Chandler know a lot of that is because they haven’t built that level of consistency well now you have a stretch of about a month if these guys can stay healthy build some momentum and and chemistry down the stretch of games learning how to close games out the last

Thing you want to do is put yourself in situations where these three guys are having to close games out for the for the fourth or fifth times in the playoffs they can do it they have the talent but a lot of that comes to chemistry repetition and hopefully they

Get that opportunity over the next month bubble wrap and Ice uh
