Mikal Bridges was their main defender and CP3 was their main facilitator.
CP3 was also the unquestionable leader.
Go back 2 golden state
Cp3 washed AF lol
That suns team was loaded. If Ayton played better in the playoffs and in the finals I think they win
@@user-jd4uz9gw3hnah Jrue holiday was the reason the bucks won. He locked up cp3 and took him out the series.
The coach isn’t responsible for Beal scoring 6pts in a must win.
lol yes it is. Coaching is all about giving your players great opportunities through play calling etc.
1 pt for every 10 mil he's getting next yr
Come on now if they won nobody would even mention the coach, at the end of the day it's the players on the court who held accountable
And he was a bro that said I’ve never been swept before the game😂😂😂
Nope Its the GM for paying over 50 Million a year for a player that scores a inefficient 6 points 🤷🏽
It's amazing that they still aren't talking about the Timberwolves
It’s amazing 😂😂😂😂😂
Because there not winning the chip so it doesn’t matter
They have time to talk about them smh
Because a team with high expectations got swept 😂
@@LGOFO only because Mickey Mouse guys like this hype them up
Monica out here selling KD get out jail free cards. 😂
KD not getting outta this one
Yall need to hold KD to tha same standards yall hold LBJ and Curry to every year.
curry doesn’t even get held to the same standard it’s just bron
They making excuses for KD again.
@@NorthSide_Mediawtf is the excuse??? KD literally just shot over 70% in game 4 with 33 points and almost a double double??? Yall just be saying anything on here lmao
We as fans hold Curry and Bron to higher standards because they're greater as players. KD is not on their level.
@@thatboiiinice3113if it was Lebron it would have been a different story
Booker: “Honestly, I can’t see who can guard us…”
2:33 the rim:
The Rim: “and I took that personally”
The Rim said “No!!! No!!!! No!!!!”
Booker needs to change his mentality instead of blaming others. He's more worried about collecting the game ball after getting swept than winning the game.
What do you expect for him to say.
@@1990758something not idiotic
KD bout to run back to OKC and make it seem like that’s where he always wanted to stay 😂😂😂
KD is the biggest fraud and most overrated player in NBA history, only 1 mvp, and 0 legit rings when he’s the most help out any big name player in NBA history. The guy just can’t win anything without a 73 win super team. The guys legacy is nothing but choking, being a bus rider and taking the easy way to win 2 tainted on a super team that would’ve won those rings without him
Mannn. He should actually lol
You really think OKC is going to gut that young core for 36 year old KD?
My next chapter: Denver Nuggets
He should have never left in the first place if that’s the case
Booker: “Honestly I don’t know who’s gonna be able to guard us” 😂
Beal: I’ve never been swept a day in my life” 😂
Losses bring humility, it's all good bro don't take it so personal
Well that backfired 😂
As much as I love to see KD fall short again, Beal really pulled the disappearing act when he said he'd be damned if he got swept 🤣

Beal is extremely overrated. Most of the NBA is. These guys are….at best….one-dimensional. They score…and the only one who does that consistently is KD…and he is not dog enough to carry any team.
@@marcelmarshall4240 Durant is overrated as well. He’s had more help than any player in NBA history and has nothing but 2 tainted rings that the warriors would’ve won without him.
I never seen nobody say something like that and be so bad at basketball
@@BillyBob-ti2fz Kd shoulda never left the warriors. Ego be messing w people. Neymar did the same at Barcelona. Neither won a chip after being the premium sidekick.
As a Wizards fan, I’m glad the basketball world can see how useless Beal is in a defining game
He is highly-overrated. The NBA tries so hard to make stars they force it upon the fans by hyping so many undeserving players. Beal scored a lot of points on a trash Washington team where he could take all the shots. Most NBA dudes could do that if you put them on a trash team and tell them they have a green light to shoot. He is a slightly-above average scorer..that’s it…and it is never consistent.
@@marcelmarshall4240 Beal is not overrated
As a Wizards fan, those John Wall days were fun to watch at times. Beal has severely missed (and the suns in general) what he hasn't had in years...a real PG
@@Kings0424He is overrated dude was being called a top 5 sg at one point but he’s always been a empty bucket dropping 45 isn’t impressive when your team loses by 30 that’s his whole stint in DC outside of when John Wall was healthy
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ayton sipping some ice tea somewhere smiling and thinking...I guess i wasn't the problem
He didn’t make the playoffs
@@user-en3xx3uk7y He on a rebuilding team.
She had the best breakdown & the follow up about lacking leadership hit the nail on the head.
KD really is the only “superstar” who just never gets all the blame that others do. I see Stephen A giving Kawhi more blame when he’s hurt than he does with KD for his horrendous playoff history
What? He only had 1 bad playoff series and that was against Boston lol spreading misinformation is crazy
He afraid of KD 😅
@@thatboiiinice3113 he was putting up numbers the last two seasons but you’re lying to yourself if you think he had superstar level impact
@@mihir702he is 35 post achiles, not the same player simple as that, but to say they giving him excuses lol kd far more hated than lebron, and he didnt xall himself the goat lol
@@duckmeatpigmeat406”Why shouldn’t I be in the GOAT conversation? That’s the question you should ask. What haven’t I done?” -Kevin Durant, January 2024
"Hey, KD! Don't you regret not coming to the Kniiiiiicks!?"
Exactly 💯 I would never forgive him for that
He regrets leaving GSW if anything.
This is what people don't talk about. When KD went on a PODCAST and said that he didn't go to the Knicks because "they weren't cool". Think about where this man's brain is at and the lack of maturity to not go somewhere because of that? You're supposed to be THE MAN, if you go there then you would make them cool. He's always been too worried about what other people think.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
He will be switching teams soon.
this dude really the said "the worst threesome" on national tv and then Monica's face after he said it was hilarious😂
It is what it is 😂
Greenery’s initials statement sounded like he was mad at KD. Booker made those comments but yet he’s talking about the nets n OKC. Booker didn’t play for them.
Bro don't care about Book.. He been on KD a$$ for like 4 years now
Greeny has some kind of vendetta against KD. I can't remember where it stems from.
The Suns blew out the T Wolves in the last game of the season and from that point on it became personal with Ant-Man
Bradley Beal ran his mouth at the wolves that game too and ANT broke him in game 4
@@bigda6407 only took one half too
It’s time man it’s time 😂
Did you talk to ant man
Wolves also kept a vanilla game plan for the last game of the season cause they knew the matchup was with Phoenix so the wolves didn’t show any of their cards that game and considered that game a wash
I think Monica was missing his point and then made his point for him. Lol. She said he has the right to leave, if he's not happy he can leave. That's the point! He wasn't happy because he was too worried about what other people were saying! He was in a place where he was winning championships, finals MVPs and didn't have to be the leader. That is what he has been looking for ever since. LOL. So it boiled down to him listening too much to "NBA twitter" or in other words...the media and strangers.
I respectfully disagree. It comes down to you in the end. If you don’t have self-doubt, you won’t be open to criticism. KD knew he took the EASY way out. In fact, it couldn’t have been an easier road. He couldn’t lie to himself. So, he tried to fix things according to his conscience as a superstar in this League.
Yep. Kd fd up leaving the spoils of GSW…
You are absolutely correct. He had everything he wanted and needs at GSW. All he had to do was wake up and hoop. He would arguably be in the 🐐 convo if he stayed.
The thing is, if he stayed and won 4-5 chips in golden state, everyone would've had to shut up and give him his due
Exactly 😂 she had a hard time comprehending something simple
5:02 her reaction is PRICELESS 😂😂😂
KD and Booker needed Beal to step up.
KD is the biggest fraud and most overrated player in NBA history, only 1 mvp, and 0 legit rings when he’s the most help out any big name player in NBA history. The guy just can’t win anything without a 73 win super team. The guys legacy is nothing but choking, being a bus rider and taking the easy way to win 2 tainted on a super team that would’ve won those rings without him
beal was so overrated and suns destroyed themselves with that trade
Honestly the Beal trade was the cherry on top. The Durant trade already ripped away all the depth and left them with a big two and a bunch of bums.
Fundamentally the issue is that when KD builds a superteam he always just tries to pair himself with buckets rather than guys who would complement his skill set.
To draw a parallel with the Wolves and Ant, KD needs a Gobert way more than a Beal or even a Booker (not saying Booker is worse than Gobert - just that Gobert would be a way better fit)
Book did his job. Now is exactly the right time to call out the front office. He wasn’t talking about the coach.
Booker will never win a chip
@@BeardedRealmKardashian curse
The Bradley Beal trade was horrible to begin with instead of having depth that surrounds Book and KD.
Signing a defensive coach with no defensive players and an offensive minded team made absolutely no sense
Book had one good game
2:23 😂😂😂 bruh knew what he was doing
Idk but that wolves nuggets series gonna be one of the best ever.

Her take on KD was fair tho
@@Ysoserious1she had a fair point, no doubt! But kd can't put himself in that top 10 conversation if you are not a leader that's what it comes down to because every player in that top 10 is a leader!

NBA Twitter blew up the dynasty. Worst move KD ever did. He’ll never win another chip now
😂 I’m loving this
5:07 her face is a meme there 🤣🤣
Bradley Beal wasted his prime time in Wizards LMFAO
His prime of stat padding on a lottery team?
@@0l3glol how is stat padding where had to put up numbers. The original comment is correct he wasted his best years in Washington.
Notice he only fell off once he got that huge contract.
He got paid tho
Just like Dame wasted his in Portland and now Tray Young is wasting his in Atlanta
The irony of calling the suns a super team when in actuality the Timberwolves are the super team. Both teams have 3 stars but the Timberwolves have the 6th man of the year plus multiple other legitimate starting level players that fit.
Wolves are not a superteam by any stretch
@@jayplunksWhat is a super team? Because Edwards, Towns, Gobert all have multiple all star selections. Conley is a legit starter and a former all star. McDaniels is a legit starter. Also, they have the 6th man of the year in Reid plus two solid role players in Anderson and Alexander-Walker. The Suns have a big 3, that’s not a super team.
@@jayplunksif the definition of superteam is an all-star / super max trio, then, yes it is. The Wolves are paying their top three almost as much next year as the Suns big three. Difference is they complement each other by having different skill sets rather than being the same three guys.
The fact that you don’t rate (presumably) KAT and/or Gobert is the only defining difference in why one is a superteam (despite being swept) and the other isn’t.
@@srtghost3842 people laughed at the wolves for trading the farm for Gobert. Called Conley old and that 2 7ft would not work. They were even pegged for playoffs. This is no superteam
@@jamespratt7526 the definition was for 3 big allstars to come together. Lebron and Miami, KD and Warriors, Lebron and Cavs, KD and nets/Sun's.
Why weren't the wolves called a superteam last season??? Only because they are winning we are slapping the superteam tag? Stop it
Bradley Beal had 9 points with a +/- of -12. Can't really blame KD nor Book for this game.
Is the Big 3 Era really over? now she's right when she said that the Suns have 3 legit scorers (Beal is that when healthy) but no defense. You're not winning a playoff series much less a ring when your Big 3 is all offense.
Kd "the ultimate Bus Rider" 😂😂😂
Been waiting all weekend for this 😅🍿
WTH is Jay Will talking about 😂… Anthony Edwards is clearly the leader of the T-Wolves… obviously Mike Conley brings an abundant amount of veteran leadership, without a doubt… but Ant-Man is THE leader of that team
He was talking about the Suns
Never mind I didn’t watch the whole video
@@DavidWilliams-mo7cv 😂… I’m glad you corrected yourself
No Conley is the leader. Best player doesnt mean leader, if you hear Ant talk about Conley you know he’s the leader
@@Coachjay778 … I never said “best player means leader” so I don’t understand why you’re making that argument… but in this particular case, Anthony Edwards is the leader of his team… and he just so happens to be their best player as well… and him praising Mike Conley is an example of why he’s a good leader
KD couldn’t win with:
-Russ/Harden
-Harden/Kyrie
-Booker/Beale
He could only win when he joined the greatest team of all time.
Monica, suck it up and say it. KD is a rider!
No the whole suns team is to blame because there’s more then one player, it’s a team game. In a team game you win as a team, tie as a team and lose as a team.
1000% all of them are pros and play basketball 14 guys on your team and nobody stepped up and give the team what it needs
Thank you
KD has been swept 2 times in 3 years, hush up about the “team game” he is 1000% at fault, he doesn’t know how to lead a a team
@@ronhawkins1824nobody could step up cos they didn’t have the talent beyond the top two to do so. Plus the “big three” just don’t complement one another playing style wise. Durant needed a Gobert type third star way more than a Beal
@@jamespratt7526 KD should’ve said he’ll be Gobert or Jokic for the team he’s 7ft tall with a high bball IQ he should’ve scarified and said I’ll be Point Center score when I need to but focus on you guys getting shots Book should’ve taken on the killer/closer role and Beal should’ve became the 6th man off the bench to give them some firepower off of it but nah these guys don’t have that in them
Times are changing ❤
Hard work beats talent when you fail to work hard frfr
Is this the same Booker who said "I don't know how they're gonna guard us" ? 😂

We done wit the 2010’s🥺💔
Well played 😂
4:57 facts. Whether you like it or not, they were fun to watch.
GMs gotta learn that team chemistry and fit more important then having stars
Trading for KD was a huge mistake.
Bamboozled 🤮
And firing Williams.
Booker an the suns Gotta new Daddy and his name is AE😤🐺💚they couldn’t hold or keep up with my Boyy🐺🐺🐺
Edwards is literally too strong For any guard in the NBA to actually guard him, he backs down and fade away like Michael Jordan and I'm being serious asf RN. He'll win the Finals this year, Remember this Comment
@@nuetv3562bcuz the leagues full of Charmins, fools needa work harder on the skill
Every year same thing
Season starts

Hasn't won anything yet

Kd knows how LeBron feels back in 2018 when he got swept💀💀💀
Not really. KD had one good game 4, that's it
Lebron get swept in the finals. Not the 1st round. NAH.
Not really look at the team lebron had and compare them to these suns cavs were awful that season and had no business being in the finals
2 super teams
You act like KD didn’t get embarrassed by the Celtics a few years back in the first round.
Run it back. The core guys need to play more games together to create better on-court rapport in performance.

💀 😭
Monica’s face on the Durant take is hilarious.
Dude talking about Durant…is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. Durant definitely made a mistake with leaving the Warriors. DEFINITELY made a mistake and he IS NOT A LEADER
He averaged 31 ppg, not 38. He had 2 great scoring performances and 2 lackluster ones. Good luck against Denver if you don't haver an automatic 30 out of him.
They wanna make him the Face of tje nba so bad
First off he said he averaged 38 ppg ON THE PHOENIX SUNS COURT to close them out. He had 36 in game 3 and 40 in game 4. Should have been 41 in game 4 cuz Beal slapped in the head when he dunked on him and KD that wasn’t called.
Breaking news: KD will join the timberwolves next season
Wouldn’t surprise me the guy is but a bus rider
He will join your mom in bed next season
I think after this game KD lost Top 10 privileges forever, he’ll never leave curry’s shadow
Theres no failure, its just steps to success.
He's like 36 and has played well considering his age and the amount of minutes he logged all year. Booker and Beal were worse.
But at the end of the day, he's just not good enough. I don't know if he was ever good enough to lead a team to a ring when he was younger, but post a serious injury that robbed him of his explosiveness and now in his mid-30s, he certainly can't do it now.
No, Beal was terrible. Booker held up his end but Beal showed how much of a star he isn’t.
Lebron is even older and they still expect him to be able to do everything for his team
He chose Phoenix instead of Miami.

KDs ring days are over agreed...It was fun while it lasted.
KD did his part. Blame the overrated clown Beal.
Everybody talking about the firepower
-the guy who said "I don't know how anyone is going to stop us"
I'm so sick of this "Autonomy" or "Freedom to move" argument! This is about making "SMART" decisions as opposed to making emotional & nonsensical choices just because 'YOU CAN'! Why TF was Monica getting overly worked up about "Freedom" as if someone was trying to take "HERS" away!? MF, this ain't about you. KD knew he couldn't win w/Westbrook, so left & put himself in the PERFECT BASKETBALL SITUATION ("Defense", Leadership, Coaching, High IQ Players, Veterans + Youth, Size + Athleticism, All-Time "GREAT" Shooting, Players who played DIFFERENT roles not multiples talents who do the SAME thing!) ALL KD HAD TO DO was go there & fit right in & be himself. No more no less! One would've HOPED that if he eeeeeeeeeever wanted to leave that PERFECT situation that he would've taken that formula, taken what he learned & implemented it elsewhere but APPARENTLY ALL he learned was "Lemme gather talent & friends & I'll make it work"... smh WRONG LESSON! GSW showed him, "MF, YOU didn't make us work, you simply made us unbeatable."
Beal and Durant are well post prime. Not considered a big 3
Game wise you right, but financially that's a big 3.
Will they call LeBron Westbrook and Ad a big three and it was the same scenario. LeBron and Cleveland was well over 35 whose team was also considered a big three. So I don't know what you're talking about

Ant-Man: F A BIG 3, IT'S JUST BIG ME!
Beal was never great. There are star players and good players that play amongst sorry players. Beal was a good player that played amongst sorry players. He’s not a starter option on an actual good team. Who are you putting Beal over on the Celtics’ starting lineup or on Denver’s starting lineup? He barely would make the cut on the Lakers or GSW’s starting lineup. Trae Young is trash too along with Lavine, etc. I think people quickly forgot that Aaron Gordon ran his own team too.
The age of the super teams winning chips is over. Now you MUST have a well balanced team to win.
Book and KD was putting up.. And nobody else came to fight with them.. Somebody was all talk and no Action getting paid like a Superstar
Booker tried hard to get his 50th point in the loss but Ant DENIED him in the final seconds
Greeny couldn’t wait 😂😂😂😂😂
KD ain't listening to these clowns
why was monica mcNUTT doing that face when the dude was talking about kd leaving gs??
This is a prime example for the fact that the big 3 era of nba basketball is basically gone and is going back to dynamic duos and a well rounded team with your two best players
