WEBVTT - DRAYMOND”S FIGHT NIGHT and The Phoenix Suns Struggles

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Cure. You're listening to The Hottest The Hottest.

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 2>It be a podcast out here. I said what I said,

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 2>it's the.

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Check. It's just.

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 2>On this episode of The Heat Check. Oh holy hell.

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.479
<v Speaker 1>We got a loaded show today, had an entire episode done,

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you know what happened. Draymond Green decided he

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>was gonna function it up, give somebody in the show calls,

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>made it all about himself again, So we pushed it

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>until today vain is popping in the middle of the head.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Just wait, folks, until we get our social clips up.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I also have things to say about a team that

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I think just might be destined for disaster, a team

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>that's very similar to the star Players last team. We

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta talk about the Phoenix Suns. I get also into

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>who is hot and who is cold right now in

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. Can't, in terms of cold, an entire team

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>minus one guy who's actually just in a pajamas sitting

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>on the.

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Sidelines currently living in a freezer.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I asked, sincerely, what's the fucking happening with the Washington Wizards.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>Can we touched on some news from around the league.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's get right into a Williams drop That motherfuck Okay,

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 2>before we get into the real show.

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's break down a little breaking news coming out of

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the alcohol speed. Yes, it's got an apronym. That's what

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Adam Silver wanted, so that's what we give him. The

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>end season tournament, folks. For those who don't know, Steph

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Curry was ruled out of the Minnesota Timberwolves game, which

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>meant that the Warriors would be playing their ist game

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>without the guy who has led the team in literally

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>every way this year. And shit hit the fan fact,

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>oh boy, just after tip off, this is what happened.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Got into a down the court scuffle, little little something something.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't quite a fight, but it was not quite

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>not a fight. And then Wolves center Rudy.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Gobert comes up and he's like yo yo, yo, yo yo.

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So he tries to pull Klay Thompson off of Jaden McDaniels.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>And at this point, what would you do if you

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>were Draymond Green, the most predictable thing on.

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>The planet right? Watch this?

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>By god, that Raymond Greens. Oh man, Yes, Draymond Green,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>like the WWE superstar that he is, Royal rumble. He

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>decided he was going to put Rudy Gobert in a

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>choke hold for many seconds.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>That was the part he did not let up.

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like as soon as things got a little

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>more cool down that he decided he would.

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Let him go.

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>No, no, he did what he thought was right, which

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>was to just drag him across the floor. All hell broke, loose,

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>benches cleared, refs went crazy. Adam Silver cackled, knowing the

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>intensity is additional for the ist.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>That's what we want. A little passion, a little stuff

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>never hurt nobody.

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>And eventually they got Draymond to relax, and then of

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>course he gets booted from the game. Klay Thompson gets

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>booted from the game, and then the Warriors went crazy

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>as they do.

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's one of those dead.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Cat bounced type of moments where you're like, oh god,

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>this is the time where the Warriors actually beat Wolves,

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the third number one in defensive rating. And no, no, no, no,

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the Wolves that we have been knowing were wet paper tissues,

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>they actually have turned into some hard rocks. Why because

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Edwards exists and the defense is really good. So

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the Wolves come from behind and they leave the Warriors

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>at five hundred from the year nine to one.

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>You will not be after the game though. Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy.

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>He said the following He did two things, he said,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>which is why he has a reputation for being a

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit. He said, Draymond was grabbing me. He's grabbing me.

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh ma, Frey, he's grabbing me. The choke wasn't good enough. Yeah,

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't enough for me to really have to go

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to sleep. But he tried, He tried really hard, but

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't good enough where I felt like I was

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>really in danger of falling asleep. It was a long time,

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and if he knew how to choke, it could have

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>been way worse. Rudy shut the fuck up, and I

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>kept my hands up the entire time to show the

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>officials I WI and trying to escalate the situation.

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Why how does Rudy do this?

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>How does he make something so one sided feel like, actually,

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe you deserved it, Rudy. I don't know how it's possible,

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>but there may be no more unlikable man on the

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>planet than Rudy Gobert, which is why, when given the

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>opportunity Draymond said, let's do it for everyone in the pandemic.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it for everyone who had to sit in

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 1>their house and not get access to a court because

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Gobert gave the NBA COVID. But then Rudy Redeems

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>himself says something that kind of made me sort of

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:34.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of like him again.

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>He said, it's.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Kind of funny because before the game, I was telling myself, well,

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Steph's not planned, and I know Draymond's gonna try and

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>get himself ejected because every time Steph doesn't play, he

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to play, Sir perfect, He called them an

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>expensive backpack for thirty to his face, you should have

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>just stuck with that, my guy, because that's along the

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 1>same lines as Jordan Poole, who got him off Knock

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the fuck out for saying something quite similar. Rudy ended

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 1>it by saying it was clown behavior. Of course, it

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>was clown behavior. I am sure that we.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 2>All have opinions about Draymond Green again. He's getting suspended.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's be honest, he really is.

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 1>He can't stay out of his own way. Joe Dumars

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>came out, and Silver came out, there's gonna be an investigation,

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be inarbows. What else do you need to

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>interview anyone about?

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>We all saw it.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the end, Draymond Green, probably three game suspension, and

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>once again the Warriors, who are struggling badly will have

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>to play as many as ten games without a key

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>piece Draymond and maybe Steph at a time when they.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Look fucking terrible.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Yet again, Draymond Green might just fuck up another year

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 1>of Steph's prime with his Shenanigans.

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Let's move forward. We all talked about these Phoenix Suns.

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I am fired up.

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what to make of them. Honestly,

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>deep down in the recesses where I put those thoughts

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 1>that maybe kind of shouldn't be said out loud. All

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been thinking is are the Phoenix Suns the Brooklyn

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Nets of the West? Are they Brooklyn Nets two point zero?

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Are they the Brooklyn Nets with better roads? Just three

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I was stumping for the Suns Sons in

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>for everybody remembers, everybody remembers, and I regret it. Look

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>at this mess in Phoenix and I'm like, yeah, been there,

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>done that.

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>This team's not a contender.

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>The Suns are currently four and six, but that is

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>not telling the whole story. What we might be witnessing

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is the circle of history coming back like Ora Boris

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the snake that eats its own tail.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>And the question that I have is, how did anyone

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 2>not see this coming? How did they not see it?

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Big three comes together in spectacular unlikely fashion, and guess what,

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and guess what and guess what. They can't stay healthy,

0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they can't play games together. Let's take a look at

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>how the first ten.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Games of the season have gone.

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>In the preseason preview, I talked about with the Suns

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>what I liked about them, which is, despite the fact

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that they traded away pretty much all their assets, you know,

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>they got some depth, They did add some They ended

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>up getting Utah Watt Nabe, Eric Gordon. They were in

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the lynchpin of the Damian Lillard trade. They landed them

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>miss your little use of Nurkic and Grayson Allen. But

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I said it and I meant it. This whole thing

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>only works if Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>are all healthy playing basketball games at critical moment. And

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>here we are, like clockwork, they are banged up again.

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>We are not even ten games through this thing. Bradley

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Beal has missed seven of the ten games. Devin Booker

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly has missed eight of the ten games, which leaves

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty six year old, injury prone Kevin Durant to shoulder

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the burden thirty six minutes per game, oftentimes single handedly

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>carrying the offense against double and triple teams.

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Folks, we should be concerned.

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Also, we should also pause and just give a little

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>moment for Kevin Durant, at thirty six years old, still balling,

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and people are slandering.

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>His name saying he's washed. He is not.

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Everyone has talked about Steph, everyone has talked about Lebron,

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>how they are defying their age and how amazing it

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>is and impressive it is. But neither are facing what

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant, a thirty six year old, thirty five year.

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Old is doing on a ninth to night basis.

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>And all he's done so far is average thirty seven

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and five on fifty percent from the field and forty

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>three percent from three and not a goddamn person wants

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>to talk about Kevin Durant. The problem, though, of course,

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>is he just can't put that much load on his

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>little legs. Eventually, sat is not a matter of if.

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a matter of when his body breaks down. Ankle issues,

0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:02.679
<v Speaker 1>foot issues, achilles issues issues, kneat issues. All of those

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>are injuries Kevin Durant has.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Already at Here's what else is going wrong with the

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Suns if you wanted more.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>The defense not good, not consistently good enough whatsoever. They

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.319
<v Speaker 1>rank fourteenth in defensive rating and that sounds probably better

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>than it actually is. It doesn't tell the whole story either.

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>While they do block a bunch of shots, that's a

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>testament really to how unafraid teams are of going to

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the rim against them. You know why, because use of

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Nurkic fucking sucks. He is terrible, absolutely horrible in the paint.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I know this as a Blazer fan. Enjoy them, enjoy

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>them great, big, great culture guy can't protect the room

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>for shit. Offsetting that is that only three teams get

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>more shots blocked than the Suns do.

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Yikes.

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Another important stat is that the Suns are twentieth and

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>steals per game, which means not a lot of opportunities

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>for free baskets for our guys. Secondly, they turn the

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>ball over way too much, allowing a lot of steals

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>sixteen point eight turnovers per game that is third worst

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA. Killing them in transition, so many easy buckets.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Eric Gordon, Grayson, Allen kd Nurkic. None of them are fast.

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Let's be real, none of them are getting back into transition,

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and they.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Lack a true point guard. I would be happy with

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 2>campaign if I was them. And now you know what's happening.

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>We've got Kevin Durant being like, hey, Alex Cruise is

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:31.439
<v Speaker 1>one hell of a talent.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 2>He's not just a role player. He'd fit on any team.

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>You know. That's how it's going. Also, they should probably

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>get like a Tias Shones. They are twenty seventh in

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the league at assist to turnover ratio, which is where

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>they probably miss Chris Paul the most. Finally, there's so

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>many things wrong. It's like a laundry list. It's a

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>CBS receipt list of how many things are wrong with

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the Phoenix Suns. They are so bad on the fourth quarter.

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>They are fucking terrible. How bad they're worse.

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>In the NBA. They are worse than the Knicks.

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>They are worse than the Warriors. They are worse. They

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>are worse in the They're worse than the Blazers. They

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>are worse than the Pistons. They are near the bottom.

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix has been outscored by an average of six point

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>one points in the fourth quarter this season, and they

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>rank at or near the bottom in nearly every way

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>that you can measure it. Defensively, offensively, It's just bad.

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>They have no one that they can reliably go to

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter to set the offense up and

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.959
<v Speaker 1>get a buckhead. Here's what Kevin Hicks from Sports Illustrated said,

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.319
<v Speaker 1>hit the nail on the head. The new look Suns

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>are way too undisciplined with the basketball. For the relative

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>amount of talent and basketball IQ, the roster possesses far

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>too many lazy reads, possessions with little off ball movement,

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and far too many good.

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Opportunities that do not get converted.

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.959
<v Speaker 1>In their last game against the OKC Thunder, they entered

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter up eighty six eighty What do you think, heaven?

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>The only Sons to score a bucket in the entire

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter were Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, and the

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Sons got outscored thirty one thirteen and lost by twelve

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to the OKC thunder. This is not a bug, this

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 1>is a feature. This is not an anomaly.

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a pattern.

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>On October twenty six, the Lakers outscored the Suns twenty

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>eight to eleven in the last twelve minutes.

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>The Lakers aren't so great in fourth quarters either, baby.

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>And then on October thirty first, Wemby and the Spurs

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>outscored them in the fourth quarter thirty three to nineteen.

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Their fourth quarter scoring is abysmal. Boy, both games, the

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Sun's lost. Frank Vogel, Oh man, I've got things to

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 1>say about Frank Vogel.

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Just not today. He's preaching patients. When isn't he? When

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>isn't he? He's got a five year deal?

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>And I get it, But didn't we hear this for

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>nearly two goddamn years in Brooklyn?

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Just wait, it's gotta gel. Everything's God come together. I

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>go wanna wait.

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>We waited and we waited, and we waited in Brooklyn

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and guess what, Guess what, guess what? It never fucking happened.

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>And then we have one star. Ask out, we have

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>another star, ask out? We have another Star, Star, ask out,

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and now it's bad times in Brooklyn. Brooklyn got exactly

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>sixteen games where Harden, Kyrie, and Katie played.

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 2>At the same time.

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I hope history is not repeating itself in Phoenix, but

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I suspect it's just my way.
