    Trade Durant, Booker, Beal. Rebuild around Bol Bol.
  • @maartenvz
    Its so good to see Bol Bol still making rookie mistakes in year 5... And carelessly jogging back on defence and getting outrun by zubac, i can see why he got pulled so fast
  • @chungheilau318
    I think the suns' homecourt is kind of cursed. There are always some crazy huge meltdown for them in that court๐Ÿ’€
  • Oddly, the Official NBA Youtube page has not posted highlights of this game๐Ÿ˜‚ even though its been over 12 hours
  • @DonnyZofChaos
    Those are, at least, Eric Gordon shots..like, he will make those.............sometimes LOL
  • @lamproskotsos
    As a suns fan and a thinking basketball fan this is both painful and exciting to watch
  • ๐Ÿ˜‚ love these watch alongs, I was shocked when I say that box score at the end of the 1st
  • @Najo817
    You should do more of these on YouTube. They're fun.
  • @benwong5582
    Damn, Clippers with and without Russ is night and day
  • @JuanTonSoupXP
    Speaking of suns, a black hole a billion times larger than our sun was discovered with over 140 trillion gallons of water swirling around it recently. The scale of that is insane
  • @LoganNagol
    1:08 Russell Westbrook is 35 years old and that shit looks just so damn easy for him
  • The suns just arenโ€™t a well constructed roster, you need complimentary pieces not three guys that all do the same thing at an elite level
  • @bpnation37
    Canโ€™t believe people try to compare Bol Bol to Wemby. Mf is horrible on defense
  • @rob.j.g
    Hope Westbrook starts in the playoffs, feels like Harden's been in a slump for a while now
  • @pau6762
    I listen to the Pod on 1.3x and going from the defensive awards pod to this, it sounds like Ben was plastered recording this ๐Ÿ˜‚
