Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
Saying CP3 should be laughing right now is laughable, seeing as his current team is in danger of not even making the play-in.
Bad take
What? Is he with the warriors who's in the 10th seed and possibly missing the playoffs? Bad take bruh
@@bgstv10001 And the Suns are only 3 games behind with a much more difficult schedule than the Warriors...Y'all don't even watch ball
@@jonyboi21 ok. Whose have a better record now suns or warriors? How cp3 laughing and they been playing good basketball. Take your own advice and watch the games
@@bgstv10001 cp3 is laughing because even when he played kd and booker would Turn the ball over in the 4th so Monty took the ball out their hands and did a cp3 and Ayton 2 man game and had kd and booker in the corner and nail but they wanted the ball in their hands and you can see the result of that
Shut up Rachel 😂😂😂 Chris Paul ain’t laughing at a damn thing 😂😂
CP3 ain’t laughing at nobody rn
Warriors aren't any better. And he doesn't have a ring.
@@davidwilliams316which why he can’t laugh
facts he better be straight faced like a mf 😂💀
Exactly! He's never gonna get a ring and going to the Warriors was a HORRIBLY TRADE ! 🤷🏿♂️
@@jampanther8846 better than Poole though
The Suns should be a lot better but to say Chris Paul (whose team is in the 10th spot) should be laughing is laughable. Right now the Warriors are looking up to the Suns in the standings.
And the Suns are in the 8th spot stop acting like the Suns are the 3rd seed they haven't won anything
Trading for Beal was a huge mistake. They have 3 type of same player.
Not to mention Beal was due for a decline due to his injuries, didn’t expect it to be THIS bad tho. Nets and Wizards will be eating with those suns picks in the future. I think KD is traded by next deadline and Booker might follow by the 2025 offseason.
He's was only signed because his father in law is his agent who happens to work for the SUNS look to up....@@mattmmixes
smart move for the suns, cp3 is old best demonstrated by getting injured in game 2 against the nuggets. they fleeced the wizards of brad by just sending a cp3 and landry shamet and picks. they can trade brad in the offseason for role players more than what they could've gotten from cp3. this is just hindsight bias at work tbh, everyone thought this big 3 would've worked
@@avipatel3775wrong......the wizards fleeced the suns..... it's obvious that you forgot bradley beal has a no trade clause, which means the suns can't trade him without his permission .....😂😂😂😂
So dont expect the suns to be getting anything back for beal if he is willing to be traded to whatever team he wants to go to......
Not to mention that they lose another year of KD and Dbook @@chasenickles260
The west is insane, it’s never been this good
Last season there was a 6th seed and a 7th seed in the second round.
Yes it has been, when Kobe was getting to the finals in the west with pau every team had 50 wins go look it up.
You must be from the east because it's all been like this in the West... delusional
@@cocacola3269 liking your own comments doesn’t mean more people agree with you lmfao
@@moman36 Factz
Spots 4-10 in the West are separated by 6-7 games. Nichols reaching for a headline.
Rachel is delusional. Of course KD cares about what people say. Not only that, but KD is still building onto his legacy and him winning somewhere other than Golden State will obviously think of his career in the future in a more positive light. She speaks with such confidence while being wrong and it’s hilarious to see.
I love Rachel’s takes!
Why are yall acting like their team wasnt hurt all year ? But celebrate the lakers ?
She’s a Klutch client lol
Cuz they're the PHOENIX suns. 😂
The warriors have dealt with more injuries/suspensions than the Buns
@@jonyboi21 man Sthu u 🧢
@@EastSide_LB okay and ?
This why we love Rachel
Get Keyshawn tf outta there add pierce n keep Rachel cause my gawd bro don’t know basketball to save his life 😂
Nicholas is right, just because CP3 isn’t having a great year (injuries) he had a lot to do with the success of Phoenix. Additionally, Damian Lillard got much lesser teams to the playoffs and now here come the excuses for KD/Booker when they have a handful of LITERALLY the same players Dame had….👀😮💨
Injuries are a big part of why their a 7th seed I could see if they actually played a whole healthy season together and this happened people love saying things with no context
💯
No excuses
as if the other teams had no injuries to key players. The Suns haven't been good even with the "Big 3" healthy.
@ashamsthomas6026 How many of those teams been together 2+ years besides injuries they still have to learn how to play with and off eachother
@@deejones9833 only Denver. this is year 2 for Minnesota.
Bring back Paul Pierce.
I never cringed at both sides of the argument as much as this one 😆😆
Rachel is capping. The Suns had serious issues & no PG. Plus their bench is questionable. She needs to knock it off.
Whose fault is that?
@@moosakashif115 Injury issues? Nobody. Team depth is a front office issue.
@@melvinhhcp3615if you listened you would have heard her criticize the new management for their issues as well
How is a team with KD, BOOKER and BEAL is 7 seed? Why?
Beal is a bum
I’m trying to find all the Brooklyn nets haters when KD just had KI & old roll players .. but it’s all fine when KD looses with PRIME BOOK & BEAL ..
Simple. Lack of defense.
Injuries
Dumb coach 😂😂
Did Rachel say Chris Paul was a consistent starting pg 💀🤣 my god. She has completely lost it.
That point guard changed the landscape of that franchise.
I don't think Durant is getting any more rings.
Sucks cause he’s been so good this year
Doesn't matter what u think, coach
@@ShaneAlan1exactly 🤣
No more. Unless he goes back to curry
@@williamsmbadugha1841neither curry or KD is getting another ring even together
Rachel Nichols is the worst. She got all this smoke for the Suns but when it comes to the Lakers there is none. This show is terrible. If the Suns shot as many free throws as the Lakers they would have a better record. The Lakers get all the call shooting 30 more free throws a game than their opponents ans still in 9th place
🤦🏻♂️😭😭
Str8 factz!
boo hoo
Suns wanna shoot three pointers all damn game while the Lakers drive to the basket dunks and layups all day who’s more likely to get a foul = free throws y’all be acting like you know damn basketball keyboard warriors
GO CRY
Smh Rachel is not smart with her logical!! Since when did Chris Paul get into this conversation
Keyshawna is clearly being emotional and using his heart when he picks the Lakers it's so obvious
Rachel is the best ❤
All due respect for CP, but I forgot he was still playing 😅
Because you don't watch basketball it's cool just listen to the people in the video who actually watch
As a Suns fan, the Beal trade has been a disaster. Nothing against Beal but he hasn't been healthy or a good fit. Would be better off if we kept old Chris Paul or traded him for another point guard
I blame the equipment manager
We need rachel nich and Paul Pierce debate
“That is not an acceptable number;Period. THE END!”
Rachel Nichols
Durant been ballin ... But I don't know the intracasies of what is missing.🤔 Someone enlighten me - besides the fact that he's playing in one of the most loaded Western divisions, as a whole, in league history.💡 -🐢🏀
Besides injuries that made the coach play inconsistent line ups the turnovers have been the biggest issues.
So clearly they do need a PG.
The issue with that is once you traded for Beal you basically forfeit the idea of a PG
I say this because if you went to get a PG that would mean you would probably have 4 players on the floor that are guard sized players.
So it doesn't really make sense to get a PG when Beal is on the team.
Maybe a back up PG but you had that in Payne and you let him go. Also a back up PG wasn't going to play with the starting line up so I have no idea how useful a low level back up would be.
The only PG that would make sense for this suns team is Ben Simmons.
Unfortunately that guy is getting paid 50 million and has back issues.
So really this PG talk was just pointless once they traded for Beal.
KD has always been TO prone when he handle the ball but at least he gets the excuse that he is handling the ball for long amounts of time.
The role players are also TO the ball at a high rate which is puzzling since they don't have the ball for much time.
They just make stupid passes or telegraph them.
Glad to see Rachel Nichols back on tv.
Who is CP3 laughing at? He's on the verge of not making the play in. Not the playOFFS, the PLAY IN
Rachel is spot on!!!!!! Its embarrassing!!!!!!
“I don’t care” that they’ve had injuries and haven’t played together much. “I don’t care” that they don’t have a bench. These are awesome debating points
She is a idiot
Injuries to Beal and booker killed the season
Factz
Stop it. Giannis plays injured ALL THE TIME. it's embarrassing that the Suns are in 7 seed. Giannis got injured and NOBODY expected him to play in the 2021 finals but came out and gutted it out. Giannis even said that he was in so much pain in the finals. Talking about injuries. This is embarrassing. Injuries are the scapegoat.
You have Bradley Beal giving you 18 points on 50, and 38% from 3. Devin Booker giving you 27 on 49 and 36% from 3. KD giving you 28 on 53 and 40% from 3. What else do you need? The Bucks gifted y'all Grayson Allen who is having the best yr of his life. The ABSOLUTE BEST SHOOTER IN THE NBA with 13, 50 and 48% from 3. What else do you need? Injuries?
Easter conference is easier… just saying
@@No_Hate_Only_Facts what are you talking bout over 40 points is missing when they don’t play and the west is deeper than the east .
@@devantepearsonokay, shouldn't the Suns be better than the Bucks based on what we have seen from Damian Lillard this season? Dame has been mediocre for the Bucks compared to Booker who actually showed up. In fact, he's on if the main reasons why the Bucks are struggling. Are you aware that almost all Suns starters are producing better than any Bucks starters except for Giannis who is playing unbelievably well? If for the bench, the Bucks don't have a bench either.
It is so hard trying to to listen Keyshawn talk basketball. Plz put a stop to this
Devin Kardashian has been exposed many times and in the Finals after he got dumped crying over a 304 is just embarrassing
😂🤣
I can’t even understand your comment man.. they have autocorrect for a reason.
didnt booker drop like 3 40 bombs or 2 in the finals?
they have a better record than the Lakers and beat the nuggets twice something the la can't do but they have them going further
Please, the Lakers would locked down Booker & Beal. We all know KD isn’t going to lead the Sun in the playoffs.
@jorgelinares9394 those same sun's that your talking about has beaten la 2 out 3 games this season
Lol suns blew out lakers twice since haven’t full squad 😂 short term memory loss huh?
Skip Bayless,Michael Rapaport , and Rachel Nichols should be the permanent cast here. Rapaport brings in the controversial takes that spark up the segments and Rachel is perfect with these guys.
If the Suns are embarrassment?.... imagine the Lakers are
No wonder why ESPN released her 🤣
All this talk after a Suns Win??
Why is Rachel coming out with that confrontational attitude, it just seems out of character for her
Rachel Nicols Destroyed KEY.😂😂😂
Suns should trade for Schroeder in the offseason. Good defensive point guard and underrated playmaker.
Fox Sports need to get a NBA show with RN...
Rachel Nichols cooking 🍳 the Phoenix 🌞 ☀️ Is epic and hilarious 😂 😃 😄
Suns had a better team/record before KD & Beal came. It wasn’t so iso heavy, it was team ball. That’s what I miss most about the Suns. They gave up wayyy to early
The roster is different. It would be better with a PG & no Beal.
True but that was with all star CP3! Not after he fell off a cliff. If they had that same team they don’t have enough consistent scorers with Cam Johnson and Bridges.
@@TheSunsfan2006 Fell off a cliff? He had his best playoff performance of his career in 2022...went 12-1 with KD and Booker closing the 4th
The best version of Kevin Durant was his run with the Golden State Warriors....
Duh 🤣🤣🤣
This team has been trying to coast through the regular season just to get to the playoffs. Problem is, they’re going to have to fight just to get in and even at this point it’s for a Play-in game position. I didn’t agree with a lot of their handling of the season, and with the injuries that piled up it only put them behind the 8 ball. Dallas is still the scariest team though.
hi Keyshawn! hehe...been having rough go of it here recently!
Apparently this has turned into the Keyshon show 🤦♂️🤷♂️ he doesn't even let people finish a sentence smh
Agree with KEY, KD should of never left GS. We could of had at at least 2 more chips, if not more.
Skip always just talking about the 4th quarter is like a 12 year old talking about basketball
defense wins championship not outscoring your opponent 150-145
That’s what these teams don’t understand, no amount of offense is making up for no defense.
Big 3 Celtics had dpoy kg
Big 3 Heat had 2nd place dpoy lebron
Kd warriors had dpoy draymond
Notice the trend. Even the powerhouse offenses had guys to anchor their defense.
Rachel really wants to restart the Suns of Anarchy.
When the Suns put this team together they forgot the point guard
Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. Sons fans mad asf in these comments 😂
Agree agree suns fan here it's the coach and the suns system. I said from the beginning should have kept the same team they had when they went to the championship
KD will be remembered as "I'm Kevin Durant, You Know who I Am, Yall know who I Am!!!"
Suns will be considered a bust if they don’t win championship
I love Rachel’s takes
no wonder she was TERMINATED
More Rachel and Paul Pierce please. And less Skip and much less Keyshawn. Thanks!
Westbrook carried Beal in washington confirmed
Bro 🤣😂😂😂
Meanwhile there is another team that has 2 super stars and top 75 players that is below the 7th seed thats more embarrassing but the world knows that already. Sad and they think its ok 😔
This won’t age we’ll mark my word
Rachel Nichols let’s get real! Devin Booker and Bradley Beal should be embarrassed because they are the reason why the Phoenix Suns are in the 7th seed in the Western Conference, and the Phoenix Suns only have one Caliber player (Mr. Durant). Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are a repeated version of Steve Nash dribble and shoot with no IQ or skill set to win an NBA title. Phoenix Suns must trade Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Mr. Durant has nothing to prove. MAT ISHBIA owner of the Phoenix Suns must prove his decision to release Chris Paul keep Devin Booker and take over a very bad Bradley Beal contract with a NO TRADE CLAUSE is effective. Keyshawn Johnson, Mr. Durant consistently carried teams deep into the NBA playoffs, NBA semifinals, and NBA Finals. Mr. Durant took OKC to the NBA Finals 1X, Golden State Warriors to the NBA Finals 3X, and the Brooklyn Nets to the NBA Semifinals 1X by himself while the NBA players were just ideal players. Skip Bayless, Phoenix Suns beat Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, and the Denver Nuggets without DEVIN BOOKER on March 5, 2024, and last night Phoenix Suns won the matchup again without Jamal Murray because Frank Vogel sticked with his only caliber player Mr. Durant (Kevin) and kept everyone else as ideal teammates. Finally, the NBA is a business and if then Bob Myers General Manager of the Golden State Warriors wanted to keep Mr. Durant (Kevin) on the team, then he would have given Mr. Durant (Kevin) his earned 4yrs $220 Million dollars new contract in June 2019, but instead of doing the right thing by Mr. Durant (Kevin) then Bob Myers had to please Wardell Stephen Curry II and changed Mr. Durant’s new contract to a 5 yrs. $220 Million dollars. I’m 100 % Team Mr. Durant (Kevin)!
It made no sense to sign Beal.
How is this _not_ an indictment on KD and his leadership?
Any nba topic bring Rachel and Paul and get Keyshawn outta there
Lost respect/credibility for Rachel on this one
so?
its crazy how lakers at 9 in the west have only 5 wins fewer than bucks 2 in the east
Rachel is a Suns hater because she’s a San Antonio fan
What’s Chris averaging this year? I forgot he was playing
kd has only lost to teams that went to the finals every year healthy since 2018
He has but they won't tell you that.
Not only that he's only been healthy in 3/5 of those playoff years.
And in 2 of those series his team won the most games against the team that won the championship.
But they won't tell you that either.
They also won't tell you that in every series that KD has been eliminated since 2019 his team has had 2 injured starters by the end of the series.
I'm not joking.
KD and Klay were injured in 2019.
Harden and Kyrie were injured in 2021
Simmons and Harris were injured in 2022
Cp3 and Ayton were injured in the nuggets series by the end of it.
we talking like the west isnt stacked , one injured player on any team can drop you at least 2 slots on a nightly basis.
Everyone gonna remember KD as the guy who lost the 3-1 lead while on OKC to join GSW
Didn't the Lakers get to the Finals last year as a bubble team? Aren't the Suns the only team that beat Denver twice?
When the Lakers smoke the nuggets i wonder if yall gonna have the same energy 🤔
Is Skip going to congratulation Shannon on THREE MILLION subscribers on Club Shay Shay. That's more than this show already in a fraction of the time.
Yea my Suns should be at least 4th seed right now. Cuz this stretch could take us out
We really don't need football players giving NBA takes. Just have Nicole or Paul Pierce on with Skip
Once again key adds nothing but generic pre meditated points. I genuinely feel like he doesn't know what he's talking about
Lebron has Anthony Davis and Russel Westbrook. They don't make the playoffs. Excuse.... he needs more help. Bron has Kyrie and Kevin. Not enough help. KD has injured players and guys missing games on Brooklyn and Sun's. MEDIA CRUSHES HIM.
Keep on Rachel. After this little stint you won’t be able to find no work. Do go down the skip route trashing players you might need to interview
DAYUM that schedule is crazy they gonna drop games lakers might finish ahead of them at this rate
It's not how we view him; it's just facts. He joined a super team in Brooklyn and came up short, and he's doing the same thing in Phoenix. meanwhile the warriors won BEFORE AND AFTER HIM.
They told her to use that tone....
I might be in the minority but I like the show better when Key slides in a comment about Bron/Jordan and Skip can't respond because the rest of the show would be about that, love ya Skip but you're going to have to let it go lol😅
Don’t count out the Suns yet
They are far dangerous than the media portrays them but their consistent inconsistency takes them out of the championship conversations.
She’s taking the skip route.
Keyshawn Witt is perfect for skip
KD should’ve been begging to go to Boston when he had the chance! Or he should have returned to OKC!
KD trade was good but getting Bradley Beal was a bad idea! Team made huge mistake. Build around KD and Devin Booker with guys who can help off the bench. Bottom line is 3 super star teams dont win titles in the NBA anymore. You want 2 super stars and a good build around them. Team has to move off Beal in the offseason or they will suffer. They have no money or picks! Must move him and get a mid level Point Guard and a bench.
Until you’ve played on that hardwood I don’t even wanna hear u cough it’s tough out there no matter who u have this is the LEAGUE 💯
“If they make a couple of more 3’s in the fourth” but they didn’t so that’s why the suns won. Like wtf are we talking about.
Nuggets are not a good three point shooting team that's a fact they're making excuses
@@gilbertarballo so stupid. Yeah if kyrie doesn’t hit that game winner shot in game 7 then the WaRrIoRs wIN¿? These people are mentally ill
Injuries are an embarrassment?
Most teams in the west got stackedd I don’t blame were there at honestly, ppl don’t realize that
Rachel, not saying you’re wrong but your take was a day or two delayed. You say this when they were absent against the Spurs. You don’t say this when they just won against the defending champs.
