Shady doesn’t know basketball because Allen has been hitting them 3’s all year long period, and he won a championship with the Bucks..
He didn’t win a chip with the bucks. Maybe you don’t know basketball..
@@Ioofah he wasn’t on the bench for that team? You right he came the next season the other white boy was on the team but his leg was broke and he won with Golden State and now he on the Knicks with his college teammates..
He was at grizzlies
@@therencenkuna8934 ok thanks for the correction so he came the year after right?
Yeah Allen was great regular season for the Bucks then went cold in the playoffs.
"Grayson made 8 3s? Is that gonna happen again though!?"
Bro... hes done it how many times this year? Hes the leading 3-pt shooter ya donut lol
He averages 2.6 3’s made. So yes, he’s not going to do that most of the time, ya donut
@@ImGayWhenISayThisButhe has made 8 3s 5 times this season
Cap
That don’t mean he’s gonna knock them down in the post season bro 😂
Sure, best 3-point shooter in the league just gonna magically forget how to shoot. @@johnnycash8567
Shady shady shady stop it please 😂😂😂
The suns don’t have a chance to win against the nuggets. They’re the worst 4th quarter team in all of basketball. and the nuggets has a pg that knows how to slow down momentum and pace
And don’t forget a lot of teams beat teams they shouldn’t beat without their best players
And they are the best team through the first three quarters and the best team in overtime.
Saying anything especially a talented team doesn't have a chance shows how much you actually know about basketball or it just shows your bias@@user-dy8vp9kj8l
Suns were up in Game 2 59 - 51 when CP3 got injured. The Suns had a chance to take game 2 in Denver.
I like the discussion about matchups. Denver did beat the Suns earlier in the Season 119 - 111 but the Suns were without Booker and Beal. Last Night they didn't have Booker. Who knows what to expect when they meet again in 3 weeks? Honestly, if the Suns didn't have these 4th quarter woes, this would be a totally different conversation. The Western Conference playoffs will definitely be interesting TV.
Cp3 gets hurt in pivotal playoff moment. Sounds familiar
An 8 point lead is nothing. Nuggets would have won regardless. Actually the Suns offense played significantly better without CP3 since he slowed them down too much.
@@ImGayWhenISayThisButcap
@@azmadeclutch9666 they literally did. CP3 has a slow pace. Check the facts.
@@ImGayWhenISayThisButthey would've won game 2 then they go home and go up 3-1 im not saying we win the series but the nuggets got lucky Paul got hurt in game 2
Someone lied on there resume to get this job 😂
Yall gotta bring the basketball experts on occasionally yo. All football heads
i wonder if Shady would keep that same “you’re only good if you’ve won a championship” energy if he didn’t ride Brady and Mahomes’s coat tails on the bench to 2 championships…
Suns fan here … the suns have not been consistent enough this season to be considered the nuggets biggest threat. I believe they have one of the most talented rosters in the league, but lack consistency still.
The Nuggets actually dont have the most talented roster in the league i think the Celtics do. The thing is... The Nuggets play selfless basketball and run crazy offense to get everybody eating🍴🍕🍔🍟🍗😂😂😂
That’s because of injuries kinda hard to be consistent switch ppl in an out of the line up 🤦🏾♂️
Suns were an incomplete team last year, post trade deadline. They had Landry Shamet, TJ Warren, and Terrence Ross playing major playoff minutes. Much better role players this year, plus as injured as Beal is, he's a better player (and about as injury prone) as who they traded for him, CP3.
Suns fan here been watching the Suns since 1992😂 the injuries play a huge part in out inconsistency 🤷🏻♀️ part of a great team is chemistry. Voval also needs to have more faith in his bench we have a STRONG 7man rotation but we dont have an identity. The Suns were known for the fast breaks. we need Vogal to say Beal ur the point or Book ur the point 🤷🏻♀️ that would limit KDs turn overs.. i mean the turn overs. Nurk and KD got this great pick and roll together so does Nurk and Beal. We know Book plays better off the ball and KD WHN HE WANTS TO BE KD he'll be KD🤷🏻♀️ if we can work on our Defense 👀 theres no limit for this team
Grayson Allen has had 5 games this season that has made 8 3 points in a game so yea he can lol
It’s funny Joy talking being Top Heavy 😉
Joy saying to shady "I agree with everything youre saying." Lmao No Shxt!!!!!!!
This ain’t the first time Shady heard her say….. “The top is very nice.”
Joy just said “Experience and health and then mentioned the Suns” 😂😂😂
I’d literally been to more playoff games and finals than every nugget player or have you forgotten
😂😂😂 Wishful thinking.
But would be quick to say Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts are elite because each has 1 SB appearance. Burrow can't stay healthy... Oh yes and Brock Purdy has left his team to the SBas well but he's not elite.
15 TOs 7 by Jokic the Nuggets beat themselves last night
No, the Suns forced the TOs, so the Suns beat them lol.
No Jokic had a complete weird game they litterly beat themselve that was from nuggets best game@@smoothsavage2870
@@smoothsavage2870Suns up 22 and almost lost.
@@johncarloflorentino So what you're saying is that the Suns are actually the ones that nearly beat themselves.
@@smoothsavage2870 yes to be honest. Their problem is they do not play a full season together. My turn your turn approach is not going to make them champions
grayson allen hit 8 3's five times this season, so yeah he might do it again lol
he indeed did it again the very next game lol
Taking Grayson Allen over MPJ when it comes to shooting 3’a just lets us know Shady doesn’t know anything about basketball. Grayson is shooting 47.5% from 3pt range. MPJ is shooting 39.4%. It’s not even close.
Acho’s Fit 🔥🔥🔥
Preach acho 👍
Dude in the turtle neck glazing tf out the nuggets 😂 I agree they got the most chemistry but they’ve been extremely lucky with health. And trying to say Grayson isn’t going to shoot like that again is crazy when he’s surrounded by kd book and Beal you think he’s not going to get open looks like that again he’s leading the league in 3% and has done that multiple times this season. Only reason the suns aren’t a top 3 seed is injury
Made 8 3s again tonight 😂
It will be interesting this year. Last year the Suns lost because the open guy could hit his shots. They have that this year and length as well. We will have to see how they look in the playoffs.
Top Heavy
Yessir!!!
Shady loud for nothing.
Suns took 2 off Denver last playoffs with no chemistry and no bench. They got better this year. 😅
Remember your facts 😂
No to mention we’re injured
You think Booker is shooting 20+FGA on 80% again? Cause that’s the only reason they won those 2 games. Literally the ONLY reason, then he fell back to earth.
Soooooo ready for the playoffs
Everyone frogets Nurk and i dont like it. Nurk is the key
Allen is the best 3 pt shooter this yr bruh!
I agree with shady for once he's the only one making since
Spell check
They're also forgetting the presence of royce oNeil. and what he's bringing to this team.
The problem with Suns is defence no one marks their player
I think the big difference this year will be Nurc. DA wasn't able to play bully ball against Joker and isn't much of a facilitator. Nurc can at least body Joker and is a good enough facilitator to keep them honest, his assist to a cutting KD was great, something DA wouldn't be able to do.
Here after Allen hit another 8 3 pointers back to back
Remove him and this show is actually good
Of course there going to say that Denver still underdogs no matter what we do it’s one game
No one said that. They said the opposite.
2:55 Joy, please dont eye roll when we making love, gonna give me a heart attack! 😢
Some ability at the bigs for the Suns? Cmon, Nurkic has done well against Jokic this regular season.
It’s one thing to miss shots but it’s another to turn the basketball over the way that they did
Allen required more appreciation. Please do not ignore that.Stars are stars but this match timely buckets from Allen make sure they are in match
Nuggets don’t have 2 big pieces from last year. Brown and Green they were huge last year.
As Denver fun, I think in whole league Suns match up best with us. I am not saying they are better than us, but they can give us trouble. However there are 2 big problems for suns. One is injuries, can they play potential 7 game playoff series, where games are much tougher then regular season, and not have one of their big 3 injured. And second one, can they play enough game to have chemistry for playoffs, where big three compliment each other, instead of taking turns each possession. They need to play healthy at least 20 of these last 25-26 games to build at least some chemistry for playoffs.
Also this is all considering they play nuggets in first round, which I don't think will happen. Most likely is the finals of the WC. So it becomes even tougher for Suns to stay healthy for extended periods of time.
Shady 💯 right, the other doing stand up comedy
The that fact that Grayson allen is the only player this season with multiple 8+ 3 point games this season. Show you shady should stick to NFL 😂🔥
This segment shows they are a football show
Man lol could least bring a basketball guy or something lol. But Fox don’t care bout NBA fr
Y’all don’t wanna hear it but it’s Minnesota they have 3 bigs and only team to have 1 elite defender and kat and naz, 3 sold to great. To guard Jokić the whole game.
When Shady started eating the Nuggets like this lol switched up on KD
Jesus I swear some of y’all just watching highlights. Grayson Allen shooting 48% from 3 on 5+ attempts him and curry have the most 8 3pm games this year.
The Suns are going to hobble through the playoffs with all these injuries, second round at best considering the injuries throughout the regular season.
2:55
This dude shady is clearly a Suns hater this game was playoff level very obvious when healthy Suns make a very real threat to the Nuggets and to any other contender for that matter
Did you all forget that the Nuggets beat an injured suns team last year with no CP? The Suns are the bigger threat
Come on , bro ,it was luck ,nuggets missed too many open looks
Grayson Allen is a best 3pt shooter in the league this season. He's your favorite shooters favorite shooter. That's the facts. The Suns will be a problem.
They aren’t beating Denver in the playoffs. Tripping.
Jokic would be the best player in the series but Suns got more talent in a playoff game. If Suns healthy they got one of the best 7-8 man rotation for the playoffs. Denver lacks a lot of depth even if they run a 7 man rotation.
@@GorgeousRock won’t matter none of those guys have even won. Denver plays with a cool sort of ice in their veins game. You aren’t picking the suns lol.
@@corning1 Durant has won finals mvp twice and last year Booker averaged 40 in the playoffs. I must admit Denver was a dominant force last year and they don’t look like they are slowing down anytime soon but the Suns can make a lot of noise.
@@GorgeousRock nobody is scared of Durant. Nobody. I haven’t watched the suns much but I don’t know how their ball movement is with 3 stars especially when the game gets tight at the end. Denver doesn’t have that problem it’s always the open guy.
@@corning1 I’m pretty sure every team in the NBA is scared of Durant 😂
Suns just need to figure out their 4th quarters. Even if they were just an average 4th quarter team they would have 45 plus wins this season imo. They are statistically the worst 4th quarter team in the league and maybe in history and they still have 36 wins. Hopefully they can figure it out.
Suns should get PJ tucker he will help a lot
They haven't been creating that great in the 4th. Who is the PG on this team?
yall need to quit disrespecting denver. they finally broke threw and they got the best player in the league.
Difference is they were the number 1 seed in the west for the majority of the season last year. Home court advantage gave them a huge boost in the playoffs
@@rcruz-zu4sm Wont matter Nuggets stay healthy Suns dont
@@rcruz-zu4smnaw them being healthy gave them the boost they had been missing for years🤙🏿
@@rcruz-zu4smEven then people weren’t giving them their respect
Disrespect? The question is literally who has the best shot vs Denver ☹️ JJ said they the top dogs
The suns were hurt 😂is this guy forgetting that?
Hey joy…speaking of nice tops @joytaylor 😂😂😂
Bol bol will be the x-factor in that series if the Suns are to have a chance to beat the Nuggets.
Lol bol bol will not see the floor in the playoffs outside of garbage time.
Homeboy flipping and flopping his arguments
Murray is a better closer than anyone the suns got
right now i’d take jokic over kd and play off jamal over murray he’s more clutch of a player to me
Just because you put 3 scorers together that don’t mean they’re a threat because they don’t have a point guard
They had 2 PGs. Frank Vogel just wouldn't put them on the court, so they got either traded or let go.
Booker averaging 7 ast this year
@@azmadeclutch9666using assists as a point to say they have a true is ridiculous. It’s the same reason Kevin Johnson and John Wall aren’t considered top 10 playmakers despite being top 10 in career apg lol
@@ImGayWhenISayThisBut didn’t say they have a true point guard lol
@@azmadeclutch9666 then bringing up 7apg is irrelevant. Cause apg is not necessarily indicative of playmaking. lol
How are folks disrespecting the Clippers like this. And the real team that yall need to be very very weary of is the pelicans if they can remain healthy
No one is giving Grayson Allen his respect, wow
Yo Shady obviously didn’t watch last nights game
Last year suns team is completely different what he on lol the current team is 10xbetter plus ayton was a liability and Chris Paul got hurt
Joy is top heavy as well😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO no way people think the suns are a threat 😂😂
How to not get invited back to the show.
Bears could give the Giants Caleb Williams and we take Saquan Barkley!
Kd book and beal are bestfriends bro they literally did a interview they all have cane corso and all
Shady acting like the suns didn’t sweep nuggies in 4 just 2 seasons ago
Hmm Jokic is better than KD has ever been. Murray is better Booker, Beal. Suns ain’t a close match up
So the only time the Nuggets get a segment is when they lose. Y'all are the some straight haters
Shady not eatching basketball
Shady just up there saying anything 🤦🏾♂️
Shady won his super bowls on the bench 😂😂😂
And you weren't even in the league😂😂😂😂😂
@corwincurlinjr6690 Shady being introduced as a 2× super bowl champion when he didn't play a single snap of either game. 😂😂😂
@@Scarred_Kat but he is a Superbowl champion, he was on the roster and he did contribute throughout the season. Rather on the field or in the board room. Why are you hating? Did he dump your mama or something? You wish you were him or something?
@@corwincurlinjr6690 I'm only speaking facts. I ain't bringing up your moms. Unless he your step daddy or something 🤔
@@Scarred_Kat you're hating on him like he did someone personal to you, how many rings you got? How many years did you play in the NFL? How many years did you play in college?
bring marcelous back plz
No the Clippers
I’m convinced these people only watch nba when the super bowl is over
Dude just said jokic is a bigger star than kd please get off the air
This show needs Keyshawn Johnson.
No joy it comes down to defence
😆 they have surface level of basket ball knowledge. Walking bucket is about as far indepth as they go
Celtics are in sync bruh
The nuggets ain’t going to go 100% till the playoffs. Don’t need to get hurt on pointless games when they’re pretty much already in the conference finals. Remember the Cavaliers just beat the Celtics
Suns ☀️ in 4 🏀
OKC is real
Lol keep sleeping on okc
Jokic biggest star ??shady needs to be fired effective immediately 😂
Yeah, I don’t know how someone who treats the NBA as a side hobby as someone who is the biggest star specially when there’s KD, Curry, and Lebron still in the league 😂😂 oh and Tatum. Sorry if I forget more
man thats semantics whose a bigger star real question is whose the best player on the court and thats easily jokic dude ripped thru the suns n lakers and the rest of the field in the playoffs last year avg a triple double on crazy percentages and this year r\denvers a game out of 1st in the west n jokic look like he winning his 3rd mvp so whose a bigger star yea kd prob more known world wide but aint no player better then jokic rn
This man’s trying to go home. He’s smashing kids in the playoffs. He’s got horses to ride. Absolutely no ego. Dude is scary man.
Not so fast Sun's can't d up nobody, Lakers D will for sure turn up that D in the playoffs, and they can score buckets with the best.
didn’t the nuggets sweep the lakers… and they still haven’t beat the nuggets since you do know that right??
🤣🤣🤣 top 10 defense since Christmas
You do know the suns have a better defense than the nuggets and clippers currently.
Or at least they had last time i checked.
Since Christmas they are better than top 12
This is a football show and it shows BIG TIME in this segment. The Suns are the worst 4Q scoring team in the league. With 3 stars. All they are is just offense. The Suns have no depth. That matters big when the game slows down in the Playoffs. No team in the league beats Denver 4 out of 7 games.
You could say the same thing about the nuggets. The suns have played the nuggets twice this season and from my observation, nurk dominated the joker both times. The suns can beat the nuggets. Joker struggles against nurk. I could also make the argument that if nurk wasn't in foul trouble and eventually fouling out, the suns end that game last night at the end of regulation
Shady,,, you stuck in the past! This Suns team ain’t the same team as last year. We gotta better big that actually DOMINATED Joker in all stats minus scoring last night. We got more size, a better bench. Even when Nurkic fouled out our back up was getting busy on Joker. You bugging. We’ve been to the finals, went all the way to game 7 in the finals. Stay off the drugs
He is blinded by that jokock in his face
This is a comedy show. The suns match up well because of nurkic
Beal, booker and Durant are all injury prone. They will never all play together for an extended period of time.
One will probably not be available for the playoffs.
DEVIN BOOKER and BRADLEY BEAL are not NBA Stars. They both are out of their prime and when they are healthy they are strength key players. Phoenix Suns continues to feature Mr. Durant (Kevin) on offense and defense with strength key players Phoenix Suns can win an NBA title.
Huhh
How is Booker out of his prime? 😂😂😂 last years playoffs was the best he’s ever been
@@johnnycash8567 DEVIN BOOKER will be 28 years old this coming October 2024, he doesn't have a point guard IQ, and he can't read defenses, create space, and make timely passes. DEVIN BOOKER is not a top-24 point guard. The Prime performing age of NBA Players is between 19 and 26 and after that, an NBA Player declines in performance. Only elite NBA players consistently perform at a high level after 26 years of age. DEVIN BOOKER is one of the reasons why the Phoenix Suns lost against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021 NBA Finals. In the 2022 NBA Playoffs Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks sweat Devin Booker, CHRIS PAUL, and DEANDRE AYTON, and the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the NBA playoffs, and at the 2023 trade deadline, Mr. Durant (Kevin) saved DEVIN BOOKER, CHRIS PAUL, DEANDRE AYTON, and the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference standings at the 4th position of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
What?! 😂🤣😭 the suns 😂😂😂😭
Who you got? Whatever you're going to say. You're going to sound ridiculous.
@@nazimbelaidi6486Barring injuries I got the Nuggets
@@user-lt1fx2he5s that's not the question. Which team is the biggest threat?
@@nazimbelaidi6486Certainly not the Suns
@@user-lt1fx2he5s then why don't you say the team? You're just dodging the question.
Basketball is easily the weak point of this show and Joy is the only one that makes basketball points that are consistently decent. While saying is Grayson gonna go 8-8 again orob not is fair because literally no one does that consistently… but it’s clear they don’t know Grayson shooting the highest percentage from 3 this season lol. That said assuming health Nuggets are still my pick but to dismiss it is crazy
