Phoenix Suns at Dallas Mavericks | LIVE Reaction | Scoreboard | Play By Play | Postgame Show
with a nice time out. Let me see if I can get because sometimes Romero, sometimes the link, some of you guys don’t know this, we’ve got a link to uh the ring cam footage of Sundo’s church. They’ve got like a security cam system. He was able to get me the link. Let’s see if we can’t see Sundo. See what’s going on with him at church right now. Oh my god. He’s on stage. Sundo’s on stage. Let’s see what he’s saying. I’m not gay no more. I am delivered. I don’t like men no more. I said I like women. Women. Women. Women. I said women. I’m not gay. I would not date a man. I would not carry a purse. I would not put on makeup. I will I will love a woman. Now listen what? Y’all praise God with him. So it looks like I don’t know. He’s on stage right now. It’s going to be probably I would say mid second quarter by the time we get him. You know, but Lord’s work, you know. You know, I would like uh to do the Lord’s work right now is Jordan Au. I need him to talk to these boys and get them to uh not allow fast break points. We cannot turn the ball over to this team. If we have a heavy turnover game, it’s over. It’s Jover. In fact, it will be. We just had to play the Mavs the day after they got rid of the devil reincarnate. Mr. Soccer. Apparently Beal’s got a fractured hip. He’s done for the year. If I’m Beal, I’m just hanging it up, man. Just Just retire. Retire. Come back and live in Phoenix and let your wife your wife let your wife run her business that she started in Phoenix. How about that? You don’t got to Wow. I think that was a fine fine quarter. You withtood the Mavs initial burst of energy and excitement that, you know, they finally got rid of the man who’s an inside agent, you know, secret double agent for the Lakers. Ronald Wheeler says, “We woke up.” That’s a good way to describe it. We f we woke up. We started playing to their level of intensity and we should have the horses to outrun them. You know, quick little look in to see what’s going on with Sundo. I am delivered. He’s still on stage, I guess. We do have the horsemen. That’s true. We We’re the ones with the horsemen. Paul says, “How did we win that quarter?” Cuz that’s how the NBA is. I feel like people forget all the time the the runs like from a game-to-ame basis. People forget. It’s just something they can’t get comfortable with. Like big runs happen in basketball. You trade big runs and you just have to wait for your run. How big is that run going to be? That’s the question because it is coming. What a ballsy shot. Like I think people would have been mad at Gillespie if he missed that, right? Why is he taking that shot? Cuz he’s so confident. And why did he make it? Because he’s so confident into your church. We saw you on stage when? When you were gone. When you were at church. No, you didn’t. Because it’s not live. Well, you know, I’ve got Remember when you gave me access to to all security cameras? Yeah, I didn’t. We saw you up there. We saw you up there proclaiming to be delivered. All right. I’m not gay no more. I am delivered. And then it was from there. I’m not gay. I like women’s women. It’s like a chill went through him. A straight chill, you know. Ports in the house. I’m not gay no more. It’s like he doesn’t like I don’t even think gay dudes wear purses and I don’t think gay dudes wear dresses. Like what was he talking about, bro? He was like drying on some other [ __ ] Have you seen his um like he got he went viral and so BET like interviewed him on on their YouTube channel and stuff? Oh my gosh, dude. It’s so funny. Two runs since Sunday showed up, by the way. Yeah, we’ll say that. Inside the last three minutes. It’s true. Goodwin’s everywhere. Oh my goodness, bro. Bro, Goodwin is playing out of his mind. You’re miss you’ve been missing the Goodwin game. Not joking. I’ve never seen him before. Nice. Walking for says not all. Yeah, we know this. But what K was saying was was like, “But we don’t know anybody who did the things that he said in that in that.” Yeah. He’s like explaining that he’s not going to be gay anymore. And like I just didn’t know that wearing dresses or purses was like a stereotypically gay thing. You know, basically we’re saying he’s lying. I’m willing to try it out. and the fellow rel to book pick and roll here with Mark Willie doubled dilly dilly and went in like you like that Ruben that little hoppy did you like that Ruby Tuesday Ruby’s been talking shite I will not wear makeup I will not wear a ass. I will not carry a purse. Like, bro, what? I will. I will. Like, he can’t come up with anything. So, he’s just kind of he’s kind of just buying time. Like, like like all those things are exclusive to Yeah. Ovi, what if he pulled his repuls with that little jump? Oh my gosh, dude. Who’s that one dude that um celebrating football player that scors ACL for celebrating like that. I remember that. That was nuts. Good win. It probably is going to go. Wow. A rare miss. I know I know Gmatica did that one time, but who was the foot the the linebacker did it a few a few seasons back? Hey Jason, what was that lineup that WWE limp biscuit thing you said went super hard again? the WWE limp biscuit. Um, the freaking promo that they did for Wrestlemania 17, Stone Cold in the Rock. My way. The My Way promo. That was great promo. Book screen here from Roy. Gets the switch over to Coupe. Double pass to Roy. Pump fake Roy. Floater Roy. It’s okay. It was an okay take. Flag drops it off and one. They’re playing hard, bro. Can’t say they ain’t playing hard. Hey, well, good for them. Dancing in the moonlight. I don’t know the words. H. So, someone asked me what I’m doing for dinner tonight, and I was like, I’m waiting to tell Sund the story cuz it’s so I’m It’s such a good like lucky story, bro. So, someone else’s Domino’s order got sent to my house and left on my porch. And it just so happens to be four out of four things that I would totally eat, bro. I swear. I swear. I mean, it’s not it’s not like my absolute ideal things, but none of them are deal breakers. a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and some garlic bites, and a dessert cookie thing. Hey, my Domino’s order is typically this. Okay. I haven’t had Domino’s in forever. If I get a Domino’s, I’m getting the P the the Pacific veggie pizza. I thought you were going to say pistachio pizza. Go on. No, the Pacific veggie pizza. That’s for me because it’s flatbread and it’s got veggies on it and I it just Don’t go get chicken nugs. You just got here. Okay. I want to go get chicken nugs. I put chicken nugs in the air fryer before I came down here. Oh, well then go get your chicken nugs. But Caleb, I’m not preaching for you, dog. Be right back. Chicken nugs. Oh, he saw the Chili’s triple dippers and had to go get himself some nugs. Thank you guys for hitting the like button. We’re at 114 115. Uh we’ll we’ll we’ll get some sort of we’ll get some sort of light goal for free membies in the third quarter. Uh, Tenenti says, “Mark Williams once again reminding us how much of a fossil Nerkiches.” Absolutely. It’s such a breath of fresh air. Praise be to Krishna. He stays healthy. Turning Point Sundo pretty much. I like Zionist Sundo. Nightly says Jordan Goodwin’s a plus uh 15. He was He’s been cooking. Let’s pull up the stats. Let’s see. Uh see what we got here. Slide that a little bit more. Okay. Royce with only five points. That seems low. Grayson three points. Gosh, does Book have all the points? 16 from Book, 13 from Goodwin. That’s your second high scorer. Mark Will with eight. I like that. I I mean, he he’s four for four. Can we go to him like double Could we give him the give him eight shots in the second half, please? They’re They’re too small for him. He should have 20 and 10 while falling asleep. Truly, you know it, Fida. He just wants his uh he just wants to be right in the end. Depends on the corn. Caleb, I am from Nebraska. Pac-Man says, “Atu barely playing Grayson to be honest.” What’s he got? 13 minutes. Yeah, it’s it’s it’s a little bit less than yuge. He and Roy are a combined two for five. That’s all just bottom of the barrel. Good enough, you know. You doing yo-yo tricks, dog? That’s what we’re That’s what we’re doing here. Now, they want to know if they are dino nuggies, regular shaped. What a waste. I mean, we do have Dino nuggies. What are my kids? Why would I take my kids dino nuggets? Obvious ketchup or barbecue sauce with nuggets. Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce. A man of culture. Paul Nino. It is halftime. And I’ll tell you, being that it’s halftime, want to go ahead and shout out FanDuel. Mhm. Our sponsor all season. All season, bro. FanDuel, Gabe, refresh this here. FanDuel, make every moment more with FanDuel this season, Gabe. FanDuel sports book and daily fantasy. What you got for me, brother? So, the Phoenix Suns are projected to win this game now currently live. If you go to FanDuel right now and want to do some live betting, winning by nine. Do you think the Suns win this game by nine? Cuz I kind of do. Um, I mean, we can I mean, weren’t we supposed to win the last game at like 19 and we ended up doing it? We ended up not at the beginning, you know? But yes, the spread at halftime turned to like 21 and a half or something like that. You feel Do you guys feel comfortable with this in the chat? Do you guys think that the Suns? Because I I don’t know. I It feels weird to be to the point where I’m that confident in this team, but I’m kind of there. I am there. We should win by nine and a half. We should win by more than that. We have all of our events minus Jaylen Green. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t What is this thing called that they’re playing with? some sort of extreme yo-yo. But you guys tell us what you want to do with uh with this. Would you pick the Suns or the Mavs? You guys think it’s a close one? Do you think the Suns lose? And then what’s the over 229 total? So that’s like 115 East. Do you think this score? If we win by nine, it’s literally 110 to one n 119. I don’t know. You guys tell us. But shout out to FanDuel, Sundo’s favorite betting app, right, baby? Someone tell me what it is they’re playing with. Someone says flex comp. What is that? What are these things called? I don’t know. like the little thing with the string that look like a yo-yo. Mark with the genius comment of the night. Mark, I’d say this is the best comment. All right, so keep in mind this is the front half of a backtoback tomorrow night. So minutes are are being managed probably. I think that’s probably very true. Spyro is what it’s called. I’ll give you a Spyro. Remember that gamero? Yeah, I was going to say the last thing I heard was just the game. Remember um did you guys have the Did you ever get the Sega channel or No, you were Nintendo. You were a Nintendo snob in No, I wasn’t. But your gated community, Sundo, the sellout neighborhood where you all had N64s got a PlayStation. Okay, you hear this folks? Cuz like Dave Chappelle says in a standup, he may have he said, “Now, I grew up in Silver Springs, which is a very privileged neighborhood, but trust me, I was poor.” He goes, “And when you when you have significantly less money in Silver Springs, you feel like it’s only happening to you, and that’s what you’d have us believe about you.” You were kind of the Carlton Banks of your neighborhood. Is that correct? No. If if my gated community was Shaga from Attack on Titan, I’m I live in Aaron’s house right by the gate. Like I live right by the gate. Titan that as soon as Titan comes through, it’s cooked. Sega channel was dope. Big MC. It was so tight, bro. It was like the future. That’s definitely how I played Spyro. By the way, been watch re-watching Attack on Titan. my son. Lenny Wilkins, have you have you rewatched it since you watched it? No. No, dude. Dude, when you rewatch it, there’s a lot of stuff that happens in that first season where you’re like, “Oh my god.” Probably entirely went over your head cuz you didn’t know what was Yeah. Yeah. So much information. Mhm. There’s there’s a it’s like there’s a there’s a there’s a part whenever they’re in the first trust and Aaron first comes out as a Titan and Riner is sitting right there and they’re like should we kill it and R’s like no we need him for we we could benefit from having information like why are you making that call Riner cuz he’s cuz he knew Mikasa could kill it so he was like no no no no Mikasa do not do that and now you know why it’s like oh Yeah. And then like that subtlety of whenever um they they all decide who’s going to join the scouts and Annie wants to become a military police instead. Like when you start noticing things like that and you’re like, “Oh my gosh, dude.” Yeah, it definitely deserves a rewatch. Or like the part whenever uh Annie’s running through the field on the first mission and Riner Reiner quoteunquote gets captured and then she squeezes him in her hand in her hand and he’s and then he like cuts himself out and then she immediately runs toward the center formation where Aaron was when nobody knew where Aaron was. Like just stuff like that where you’re like, “Oh my gosh, I didn’t recognize that.” Wow. No offense to the Orientals, but it’s a great show, dude. You know. Yeah. So, we um we’re just watching right now. It’s so great, dude. just going back and rewatching all that stuff and um Mrs. was even into it now. So she’s like so she’s like who is that? So she’s like all stuff. So she’s thought so she had she thought Christa was somebody and I was just like here let me just text you a spoiler that way you’ll just stop asking because you’re you’re really going too deep. Yeah, you gota watch that show with patience. Sundo was ripping dirt bikes. No, I wasn’t. Obvious had Sundo chilling in his 5,000 square foot house right now. You You know it. Minimum. That’s just That’s just the east wing. Just the east wing. All right. Y’all have dreamcast? I didn’t have a dreamcast, bro. Burner in the house. I definitely had a dreamcast because I was not I was not living in a 50,000 square foot mansion like Sundo. Sundo definitely was the type of dude that wore a polo with a sweater tied around his shoulders with khaki shorts, dress socks, and penny loafers. Okay, which might be Burner’s ultimate fantasy of you. I mean, I don’t I you know, I don’t know that he does look like Uncle Phil. I don’t know that he doesn’t look like a young Uncle Phil. James Avery. RIP to Uncle Phil, though. All right, Pac-Man, you’re getting you’re you’re you’re just you’re done, Pac-Man. You’re done. You’re done for that comment, brother. You are done for that comment, bro. Don’t trust them over. Speaking of which, by by the way, by the way, I’ve never watched Jango. Really? Um, I’ve seen clips on on uh Gab, I know you love Foot Loose, bro. I know that’s your favorite movie ever. I like um I like when um Family Guy Hello mimics Foot Loose. That bull cut little kid right there. Bro, can we get this guy off the screen, please? Sando’s the type of dude that grew up in the Foot Loose Town and you’d be one of those priests or preachers that’s like telling people you’re not allowed to dance. This is the thinnest pizza I’ve ever eaten, bro. Think crust. Yeah, bro. Those are dope. Of course, the old lady knows the song. Look at these Karens knowing all the words. know any VIPs? I don’t know, bro. I didn’t do the VIPs so far. No. None. None. None VIPs. Eman LeBron went to G- League. Is that true? What? I just feel like what are you talking about? Okay. Well, Sundo, we’re not we’re not terrible and this is what we’re supposed to do to a team like this and we’re we’re doing it. Well, we should be able by more of cool, you know. It’s so pretty, bro. I mean that’s really that’s really difficult to do. Matthew Blando says my brother’s Bando here from Pesan Arizona. Thank you for stopping by brother. Yes. Mainly because I went to church. Give me the credit or give the Lord the credit. You hear about your boy Beal? Yeah. Hurt for the season. A hip fracture, bro. Just hang it up. Like I don’t understand why he wouldn’t just hang it up. Beal. Mhm. And why in the world would he do that if he can just continue to steal money? Damn. You’re you’re not lying. Does he have to give up money if he retires? I don’t know. I’m just saying like he can continue to steal money. He’s getting all that money from us. He’s not getting a whole lot from them. What I’m saying is you can continue to just sign with another team. Yeah, but like nobody’s given him more than a minimum coming off a broken hip and the way he’s already been playing. The days of him getting anything more than a that minimum is over. Gabe, it doesn’t matter, bro. He’s smiling. But he probably will be smiling through it all. If he retires, he gives up money, says Michael. How much? Cuz I mean, I don’t think he’s making a crazy amount. He’s still gonna be getting p millions from us every year. The best record versus Dallas since 2015 is the Suns at 23 and 12 and they wanted to talk smack to us. Lucas Booker’s daddy has a 23 and 12 record feel. Wow. Whenever it mattered, they were beating the brakes off of us. Where? Where’s Where’s Where’s freaking Where’s our boy been? Where’s our boy been? Which boy? We got a lot of boys. Nicks. Where’s Nick’s been? Where Where’s Nick’s been, brother? Caleb, chill out. Booker doesn’t know. Book doesn’t Let’s relax. I’m just being stupid for Jesus. We haven’t seen any of our Mavericks brothers, bro. Yeah, we used to have a lot more maps. Let’s just say I don’t play with Invis and Luna for no reason. All right. Well, okay. I don’t even know that Clay is full. I don’t think Clay’s white white, but Clay was the better shooter for a while, but right now it’s absolutely Grayson. Somebody on Twitter, I think it was Keith on Twitter said, um, who’s better who’s a better shooter, Suns fans, Grayson Allen or Cam Johnson? I thought that was an interesting uh comparison. Brady, no. What are the buffs? What are the buffs? What are the buffs? Talk to me about the buff skis. Remember when Sundo was going to be right back? Those are good days. You know what’s funny, Brady, is as I because I’ve been playing it so much. I swear to God, bro, as I was falling asleep last night, I thought about that to myself. I thought it would be so cool if Invis could throw a shield in front of herself because someone gets in her face. Like Venom gets in my face. I throw it at Venom and it just goes in front of between the two of us. That’s crazy. For real. Yeah, Burner. He left to get milk and he’s not coming back. Imagine how down bad you’d have to be. Burner. Who got him? Horsemen. David Ray down. Horsemen. Horsemen. Horsemen. Orthrow nectarios. Uh, I guess that’s how you spell. I’m not sure. Congratulations becoming the newest horseman. It’s It’s immediate bedtime after this game’s over. You just, you know, you just, you know, you try to just prep us. I’m just letting you know, dude. I’m yawning. I’m trying to freaking keep my eyes open. They keep closing. I look over to see what’s going on. Brady says, “Get the pill ready.” They are not reviewing this. There’s no way that’s 100%. This game goes OT. I’m going to bed or bed stream. You’ll get a bed stream for me. No, you’ll get a bed stream for me. You will t have to tape your eyes open perhaps. Bed stream for me. This was a 7:30 game. What if it was a 900 p.m. game? Well, a 7:30 game. I would have prepped and actually drank a coffee or something like around 7 to get ready to at least be up till the end. I went to church and told and just like yo and when I got home I was like should I drink this Alani? No, I’m not going to do that cuz I would have been wired dog. He premeditatedly left us high and dry. Folks, that’s what I heard. Shut up. The amount of preparation that I do for this show like an athlete. You should be thanking me. He really carried early in the game, man. Don’t doubt it. At halftime, get the jersey swap for Cooper flag and Malawatch. Bro, you didn’t even play Malawatch. What are you swapping for? You know, I know they teammates. I know they were teammates. Relax. I’m relaxed. We just got a a healthy dub. Is anyone upset? Are we seeing people upset in the in the chat? I mean, they’re upset Booger had a bad game, but Booger’s just gonna have a bad game. All right. How bad was it? He was seven of 19. He had 26 points and people are complaining. Yeah, but seven of 19’s rough. Yeah, it’s not crazy. I would have liked to have kept that lead and made it easier, but you know, but these games, this is going to happen, bro. It’s really going to h these games like like games like these are going to happen. So a Booker will turn around eventually. Like you can be sure of that. It’s not like it’s just all bad. You know something we’ve been doing with these leads that we get? We get these big leads and we hold on. But this was like the first time I feel like we were in danger of giving up a a comeback and we still held on. Like the other ones I don’t feel like was hitting shots. That that’s why cuz Booker because we went cold. That’s Yeah, for sure. I agree with that. But that’s only just because we was we went absolute cold and Booker wasn’t hitting shots and but we held on so I’ll take it. GG’s for your sons back to back tomorrow. We play the Pacers. What at home? Yeah. What time is Sun Sunday going to be available for this? Is this kind of We shall see. Sunday. We shall see. So he just hit himself with a a game uh game time decision. It’s a real game time decision because I don’t know when I’ll be home. He just hit himself with a GTD. Look who it is who we just talked about. Nick’s in the house. We were talking about you earlier, Nicks. Just said that bum ain’t been around forever. Anyway, I’ll catch y’all later. I’m going to bed. Bye, Nick. I love you. Now that you’re here, I’m leaving. Well, now I get to fix the old cameras. We’ll have the uh postgame press conference here in a minute. I’m sure they’ll have I would imagine they’ll have book talk. I would also imagine they’re going to have Jordan Au. Shout out to Jordan. I I just can’t believe that we went and got ourselves a Michigan State alumni to be our coach and it actually worked out. I mean, oh, baby. That’s for Matt Ishpia. That’s called having your cake and eating it, too. Cuz Jordan actually does things as a coach. One thing I saw today, Cooper Flag only had 16 points, but they were really guarding Cooper Flag with some serious attention. they were doubling him early and stuff and it’s just like these are just the little things you weren’t doing in the last couple of years. At least not with Coach Bud. You weren’t doing any of it with Coach Bud. There was no defensive thought put into a game plan. Uh Grav says that’s called alignment. It’s true. I I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but they are up. Final boss Roya says, “Why do we play Oso? He’s a coach’s favorite.” And you know that. And also, at least they’ve demoted him to third string. You know, Nick Richards at least comes in before him. Next step will be Nick Richards getting more minutes. because both times we’ve done that so far, Nick Richards the last couple of games now has come in early before OSO. Second string you would call it, but OSO gets more minutes. So, I think next step is getting six of those OSO minutes out of there and give six of those minutes right to Nick Richards or we’re Sheer Fleming or Come on Match. Poison Ivy says five straight tomorrow against Indie. I like where your head’s at, poison, but I am worried. I’m worried that, you know, the Pacers are a team that needs a win and it’s a backtoback. Is that going to be a trap game? Kind of worried about a trap game. I I don’t know that we’ve had a backtoback this season. Maybe one time. Are we Do we have enough energy? Do we have enough legs? I guess we are young now, so maybe back tobacks won’t be as big of a deal this season like they’ve been in years past. Shrimp Kid said, “I dislike the Nigel Hayes Davis hate, but I cannot deny he’s been doing bad this season.” Yeah. Did he even He didn’t even play. You didn’t get him or livers. They kept the rotation kind of tight. I’m happy. I’m happy that Ryan Dunn got a full 24 minutes. That’s bare minimum of what I want to see for Ryan Dunn. He has not been shooting the ball well this season. Summer league crushed it. Regular season reverted for for some reason. He just can’t shoot threes well. But he had four rebounds, two steals. He was four for nine. He was a plus 12. I am totally fine with no Nigel Hayes, no livers if we’re getting more Ryan Dunn minutes. I don’t know, Alex. I mean, it I thought he was going to break out this season, but he’s not right now. He’s not. Yeah, Nick. Three years ago, the Suns were at the top of the West. Like if we weren’t such bitter rivals, like I can’t lie to you Knicks. There is a part of me that rejoices in what’s happened to the Knicks. Number one, it’s like I’m glad that’s not us. I’m just so happy that we’re not in the situation where our GM was a turncoat and a double agent and traded away Booker for absolutely nothing to his favorite personal team. so that his personal favorite secret team could be better. Um, but everything else about it, I do feel bad for the Mavs. It’s just if if we weren’t pure rivals, it’d be easier to not be a [ __ ] that enjoys it kind of somewhat. But I’m just so glad that I don’t know. It’s like which which is worth worse cuz I hate I hate the Lakers more than I ever hated the the Mavs and now they have him. So, it’s really not anything to laugh about. We both have to deal with your terrible situation, don’t we? Braggsy says, “I love Grayson.” Grayson’s I don’t know if he’s going to move to the bench, but he’s like a sixman of the year. Um I don’t think there’s like a um I don’t think there’s like a award for like best role player. I don’t know. I guess you could say most improved, but he’s definitely improved. He’s playing like just underneath what an all-star would be playing at, you know? Ivy says, “Gabe, hear me out. Our next three games are Indie, Hawks, Blazers. F it. Let’s go for eight straight.” That would be great, but I’m not going to be upset if we lose one of those games. You know, Portland can beat us. We should beat Indie, but it’s a back-to-back, so I’m not 100% on that one. Like I could see us losing a game and and we could still hang our heads high. Vision says Blazer’s the most likely L probably. Yeah. But we’re we’re we’re on the right track and that’s all we could ask for. The train completely derailed last season and it’s back on track and it’s chugging in the right direction. faster than what we thought it would be uh going in that direction. Maybe some year, burner, maybe. But if we get into the actual playoffs this year, I would consider that to be a huge overachievement. Nick says, “If you were a Mavs fan, how would you feel right now?” Gabe, I would feel like I was justified in potentially moving my fandom to a different team. Here’s Jordan. Guys, where would we be without him? Think about it. You know, how many oho minutes we would be getting? How different would this win streak feel? or how non-existent would it be if we were actually playing Oso the amount of minutes he was getting before Mark Williams came back. I think that’s something we need to remember cuz it could be different. It could be really really different. Did we really have 21 turnovers? That’s way too many turnovers. 12. Okay, they had 19. Scared me there. Jorge Mona says Mark Williams save me. I mean, he’s don’t forget the Lakers gave up Dalton. Connect for him. The Lakers tried to give up more than we gave up for him. And God had a plan for us because Sundo went to church tonight. You know, they do need to feed him, Matt. I agree that. And that’s what he was saying. He’s like, I feel like we’re missing him a little bit at the rim and we’ll try to keep figuring that out. Please do cuz once you get him positioned as a real threat to score, just going to open up things more. And our offense is already pretty damn good to be completely honest with no Jaylen Green. It’s already pretty damn good. How much better does it get with Jaylen Green? How much better does it get once Mark Williams is a threat to score? Hey, we’ll see you tomorrow, Big M. Yeah, Matt. I think Matt that we’ve just been without center scoring ability for so long. It’s almost like a skill that the Suns just don’t have, like getting it down to the center. It’s not something we’ve taught for years. It’s a skill that’s completely escaped us because what were we going to do? throw it down to Nerk and watch his big fat Bosnian ass throw up uh brick hook shots. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I mean, we kind of threw it into Aton Michael, but not really. He was more of just a mid-range guy. He’d catch it out on the wing like in the mid-range and face up and try to do some soft [ __ ] I forgot. My bad. Burner forgot about the great plumb dog minutes at five. That’s a good question. Inferno, he might be. And Bender was allergic to the to the paint. Eduardo is which Martin did we play tonight? I would have thought tonight was the Martin revenge game. Is that the other Martin? Which Martin did we have? Cody or Corey or Connor or I don’t even remember which one it was. Cody Cody Rhodess Martin We had Cody. Okay. And tonight we played Caleb. Got it. Got it. Well, let’s take a look, I guess, over at that prediction for that game. ESPN said that we were going to lose to the Mavericks until today. It swapped today. Well, right now they’re showing the Suns some god dang respect versus these 1 and 10 Indiana Pacers. They’ll be without Cam Jones, whoever that is. They’ll be out uh they’ll be without Benedict Mathan, no Johnny Fury, no Quinton Rampage Jackson, no Obi Sloppin, and as for now, we’re only out Jaylen Green, which we are more than used to. Still going to have to worry about Seiakum. Um, take a look at their schedule. So, they have recent they just gave up 152 to the Jazz. What was that tonight? Was that earlier tonight, guys? Dude, we got to win. We got to find a way to win. They lost to the Warriors, obviously. Nuggets. Nets beat him. Bucks, they beat the Warriors somehow for their one win. Lost to the Hawks, Mavs, T-Wolves, and Grizzlies, and Thunder, of course. So, I I think they can they can beat us. We got to be careful cuz if for no other reason, the insane level of disappointment we’re going to feel if they beat us, that’s going to be painful. Seakkum leading them in points, rebounds, and assists. So, that’ll be interesting. Burner says, “I like that these games might build confidence to the team, but I need to see them against the big boys.” Yeah, I’m just trying to take it one step at a time. I don’t feel like our team last year was capable of beating these teams that we’re supposed to beat. We would just lose to them anyways. It didn’t matter. It was like, “Oh, we’re going up against this team. We’re going up against the Spurs and they don’t have Webby and they don’t have Vel.” We lose. What? How? We have Kevin Durant. We have Devin Booker. We have Bradley B. We should Didn’t matter. nothing mattered. So, it’s like really speaks to me that we’re able to win these games. Yeah, Roy, I don’t know what the Hawks are doing. Let’s go. Let’s go because we play the Hawks after them. We look ahead a little bit here. Hawks are six and five. They beat the Lakers and the Clippers recently. Sure they’re going to beat the Kings. They’ll be on a three game, maybe four game win streak by that point. But for now, it’s the Pacers we’re worried about. One and 10 in the East. They waved uh clung. Interesting. And yeah. Okay. It might be three days. We play on the 13th and then not not again till the 16th. I guess. Yeah. Two days. Matt says, “This is the best game to get a to get after a backto-back, though.” You’re right. That is a great point. Who else could you ask for other than uh like the worst team in the East record-wise? So yeah, it sucks you’re on a backtoback, but can’t argue that you’re getting the easiest potentially the easiest backtoback possible. Press conference has ended. My goodness. Guess they are not going to give us any booker. Uh let’s go back to this game. Anything else stand out to you guys statwise from this game? I mean Royce totally ended up redeeming himself. Remember he had like three points at halftime. He ends up with 13 and he’s three for four from three. Dylan Brooks, I think, shot good enough. Three for eight from three. Grayson four for nine. I mean, if Grayson Allen’s not in the three-point shooting contest this year, they’re actual racists confirmed. And then, you know, not the greatest night for Book, but I’ll argue that Book’s 13 free throws is big. He made 12 of them. That’s huge. That’s rim pressure for code. Yeah, Spartan. That guy totally backed out of here real quick when that wasn’t happening this year. Yeah, Ronald. This year, Grayson’s playing at a level of consistency that’s rare. So glad we have him on such a good contract. He’s like a reverse Bradley Beal. Final boss Roy Mayavia says, “Do you see Man or Fleming getting minutes tomorrow, Gabe, since they went one and since they’re one and 10?” I actually do. I think um hopefully hopefully it’s because we’re blowing them out, but it could just be a case of like why not let the younger guys play a little bit on the second night of a backtoback for energy’s sake. I think a combination of the two. Final boss Roy says, “How uh you know, so far, how do you feel about the moves that the organization’s made and are planning?” Way better than I thought I would. You do too, right? Like I’m sure all you guys feel the same way. Are you not completely um surprised and glad, pleasantly surprised I should say that our team has it’s not like we’re anything to like really really brag about, but compared to where we were last year, I think it’s something you could be very proud of. And that’s a great first step. In the future, we’ll worry about, okay, well, what do we need now to really compete? What what could we do to compete for a title? Well, when we get there, we’ll cross that bridge. MC Hammer says, “Do you see Allen uh beating his record of 10 threes?” Maybe, but that’s a lot of threes to hit in one game, man. like he’s capable of it, but how many teams are going to leave him open after that this season at least? Matt says, “I’m just surprised the role players are hitting shots this consistently. I’m waiting for the game where nothing hits and I want to see how Odd adjusts.” We’ll have those games. We will have those games. It’s just hopefully we don’t have those games against good teams because they will break our backs. Remember what it looked like against the Warriors? Couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn. That was an ugly, ugly L. Luke says, “Lakers getting crushed by the Thunder right now.” Yep. Short-handed amazing Thunder. Inferno says, “Maybe probably in two years is when we’ll be back to being competitive because this season already seems like a step in the right direction. Imagine how better we could be by next season.” Totally agree. Um, how good are we going to be this year when Jaylen Green comes back and we’re just getting that much better offense? Like, our offense is already good and our defense is good. Like I’m I’m just so glad and I don’t want to get ahead of myself because we’re once again, should we be getting ahead of ourselves? Should we be feeling any type of way at all when we know damn well what happened last season going nine and two to start the season? What where did that get us? Was the season able to slip away from us after a nine and two start? Oh, hell yeah. Is it able to slip away from us again at seven and five? Oh, hell yeah. Loving the head coach, Devin. Loving the head coach. And the one thing that really makes me happy about the coach is the fact that Devin Booker personally requested him. Of all the candidates, he said, “I I think I actually do want the Michigan State guy.” That just means Book’s going to be that much more bought in and not interested in leaving. No. No. Definitely want you want to keep that you want to keep that uh Jaylen Green [ __ ] stamp burner. I was just saying hypothetically. Matt says two years from now the team will look way different. Sort of. Hopefully it doesn’t. Hopefully a couple of minor guys here or there are gone. like, “Oh, no. We don’t have uh we don’t have Sundo Hayes Davis anymore. We don’t have Isaiah Livers anymore. Berea is playing now. Fleming’s playing now.” Like, if if we’re doing this the right way, and so far it does seem like we’re doing this the right way, we won’t have a bunch of turnover. All of this turnover the last few years has been bad. all of this turnover that completely wrecked our like momentum of what we had building because you literally tore that building down. That was a bad thing. The good thing will be, hey, things are working. We actually don’t need to move off of these guys because the puzzle pieces are fitting together. Maybe one or two, not the whole half of the puzzle. We can’t throw half of the puzzle away. That’s a lesson that I hope Matt Ishbia has learned by now. And he should have learned that by now. Well, Burner, you know, you do with your money what you’ll do. No one’s going to be able to stop you. Zambuki, you might not be rage baiting. He I don’t know. Maybe he’s getting better, but his first couple games back were hideous. Roy says, “How are the Rockets doing?” Well, let’s take a look. Let’s take a look at the old Eastern and Western Conference standings. The Rockets are seven and three. Not too shabby. with a point differential of 11. They’re winning their games by an average of 11 points while we’re at 2.4. I’ll take it. We’re number seven. They’re number five. We’re just We’ve played two games more than them. What are they playing right now? They probably are. Um I like where we’re at. I’m very respectful of where we’re at. I don’t expect us to be better than the T-Wolves yet or better than the Rockets or Spurs or Lakers or Nuggets or Thunder. I didn’t expect us to be like, it’s only one game, but I didn’t expect us to be ahead of the Blazers at this point in the season or the Warriors for that matter. Um, you know, the Clippers were thought to have been dangerous this season. I’ve got a FanDuel graphic that says that they’re like fifth at one point. They were like fifth or fourth in the odds to win it all. Okay. Try to tell people I’m not scared of that geriatric squad. The Mavs were supposed to be good this year. The Pelicans have a healthy inshape Zion. What the hell’s going on there? We’re for Meanwhile, we’re just chilling four games back of first place. No big deal, Burner. No big deal. Uh, okay. I think the only problem with being in the cup is that like with us potentially winning the cup is aren’t we in the same bracket as the Thunder? So like come on, you know? I’m just excited that those cup games are going to mean something to us. And I expect us to play good and hard and not get blunked to bits and maybe win win win a few and fugazy our way into people’s hearts, making them think we might actually win something, you know? But either way, hell of a night, hell of a stream. I’m gonna go to the gym. I go do legs tonight, even though I really don’t want to, but being an adult is about responsibilities. See you guys tomorrow night. We don’t have to wait long. Be right back here tomorrow. I’ll I’ll try to get Sundo here. You know, he’s already trying to find a way out of it. Suns win. Suns win. Seven and five. A winning record on pace to be a playoff team. No, I had free Michael. I had um somebody’s Domino’s order got sent to my house and left on my front porch and it was like all things I would eat. So, I’ve got free food at the house. No Shake Shack for me. Maybe tomorrow night. Suns win. Suns win, baby. Suck on that, Mavs. Luca ain’t walking through that front door, Nicks.
