    Phoenix should’ve signed Wall.! Period

  2. Russell Martin on May 6, 2023 at 3:15 am

    ESPN still rooting for the Suns–all part of their Jokic hating agenda. In bed with the agents and working out corporate agendas instead of talking about basketball. Time for the NBA to go to another network that covers basketball instead of worshipping big markets and playing favorites.

    insane that warriors are getti by punished for drafting well

  4. Motley Grant on May 6, 2023 at 3:17 am

    it would mean nothing… the nuggets are just better than them right now.

  5. denk664 on May 6, 2023 at 3:18 am

    Só it’s okay to slander the Bucks coach when he already won the chip but Monty did a splendid job. Good job analysts, i see what’s going on here

  6. bizzoid on May 6, 2023 at 3:22 am

    He’s played his last game for the Suns. Say they get past the Nuggets, I doubt that he comes back. The only players safe are Book and KD. Ayton is gone, the bench needs to be overhauled, CP3 is gone. It’s going to be completely different. I wouldn’t be surprised if Monty is gone as well.

  7. Jo Gonzo on May 6, 2023 at 3:24 am

    Chris Paul always get hurt when it matter most, that year him and harden were in playoffs. I feel they coulda of won if Chris Paul and get hurt smh

  8. Oscar Lozano on May 6, 2023 at 3:25 am

    He always injured, or NOT CLUTCH, didn’t show up last year. Not HOF material. Js. Stop hyping him up. He just a regular schmegular player. What has he ever accomplished? NOTHING!

  9. Derek Nunn on May 6, 2023 at 3:26 am

    I’m sorry, but, why is Malika here?

  10. Dee Lee on May 6, 2023 at 3:27 am

    This is probably it for CP3. Hall of Fame career it is all good. This series is over Suns will have to re-boot quickly KD is getting older.

  11. Donald Priola on May 6, 2023 at 3:29 am

    The sun rises in the east. Chris Paul gets hurt at the worst possible time for his team. The world marches on.

  12. Richard Howard on May 6, 2023 at 3:29 am

    Nothing is guaranteed. You always need good bench players. Phoneix made it before. I like Durant but they gave away to much.😮

  13. NoSaltJustPepperBae on May 6, 2023 at 3:32 am

    Time for Chris Paul to retire. He is not getting a champ ring. If it wasn’t for Devin book, Chris Paul would be exhausted 😂

  14. Manne Di on May 6, 2023 at 3:33 am

    CP3 played a lot more when they lost their bench. Suns need to get another PG so CP3 can load manage and be ready for the playoffs

  15. Joseph Ramos Flores on May 6, 2023 at 3:33 am

    Why punish the warriors since they drafted their players

  16. Cliff D on May 6, 2023 at 3:34 am

    Jalen Rose hit the nail on the head with the origin of the salary cap and when it was first brought up.

  17. James Sweeney on May 6, 2023 at 3:35 am

    Jalen has it so wrong about the nba and nfl salary cap. Especially the NBA, where these players million upon millions upon millions and don’t even play 25% or more a season.

  18. Matt on May 6, 2023 at 3:35 am

    CP3 done
    DA gone
    Monti finished

  19. Devon Pendleton on May 6, 2023 at 3:37 am

    Stop discussing athletes money. ALL athletes

  20. Boone Beasley on May 6, 2023 at 3:39 am

    Stephen A kd ks healthy u said when healthy he is the best in the nba lol you picked suns to come out the west wat happened

  21. -- on May 6, 2023 at 3:39 am

    The suns are going down in 5 cp3 won’t even come back it will be over

  22. easymoneybaby on May 6, 2023 at 3:40 am

    you guys always talk about suns but now about the nuggets. 🤡

  23. Eric Calderon on May 6, 2023 at 3:41 am

    Monty is an idiot for not using terrance ross and tj warren should a been doing it even last series

  24. Gregory Allen on May 6, 2023 at 3:41 am

    KD gonna force a trade to who ever makes the finals. 😂

  25. Kaolai Saeteurn on May 6, 2023 at 3:42 am

    Same ol CPbum

  26. Broncos 007 on May 6, 2023 at 3:44 am

    The NBA is finally creating parody like the NFL.

  27. lamp love on May 6, 2023 at 3:45 am

    Suns need to add one of the best players in the world like kevin durant or something then imagine how unstoppable they would be! Straight superteam.

  28. Petar Veljković on May 6, 2023 at 3:47 am

    Watch the Suns fans prepare excuses when they lose “CP3 was injured” and what not but when Jokić played alone vs them they were mocking him how they swept Denver😂😂😂. Bring out the brooms boys🧹🧹🧹

    Dear suns pls dont lose, I am dying to see a KD vs Lebron/steph series

  31. Trae Fittz on May 6, 2023 at 3:50 am

    Means CP3 always gets Hurt in the Playoffs.. Probably give it another Year with KD then he should Hang it up. Suns need more Depth. It’ll be a Gentlemen’s Sweep.

  32. GreatestManAlive on May 6, 2023 at 3:51 am

    Suns owner was a fool not to offer a bigger trade package for KD and Kyrie. Should have gotten rid of dead weight Ayton and injury prone CP3. now they have 0 options to improve this team that is not a contender if CP3 or Ayton are not all star level.

  33. Sean Powell on May 6, 2023 at 3:52 am

    I don’t want to hear any excuse that cp3 was the reason the suns lose this series

  34. Tanka Thomas on May 6, 2023 at 3:54 am

    Jaylen looks stupid every time I see him

  35. Jude on May 6, 2023 at 3:55 am

    I actually bored of super teams. Surprisingly. Warriors always have a super team and everyone acts like they dont have 3-4 Allstars on 1 team. Bucks had 3 all-stars basically 4. I mean it’s time for more teams to have stars and be more evenly matched. Time for something new.

  37. Kaz Man _ on May 6, 2023 at 3:58 am

    Booker for Butler. Heat do it because Butler’s an old man. Or Booker for Doncic. Mavs do it because Doncic doesn’t want to be there. Let’s win one.

  38. 2Hot2Handle on May 6, 2023 at 3:59 am

    The fact that there was such a long break between game 2 and 3 is total BS. Gives Kd a chance to rest and time towards Chris Pauls recovery

  39. Brosiff on May 6, 2023 at 3:59 am

    Monty, CP3 have taken this team as far as they can fo. Time for a cleaning. FIRE JAMES JONES, MONTY AND CP3 is we lose this series. JJ has done nothing to prepare for this. We’ve seen it for all the playoffs since CP in PHX.. Ridiculous

  40. Andrew Durand on May 6, 2023 at 4:01 am

    The NBA has salary caps because talent is so deadly in the game. It already is a problem with big markets dominating with money and talent. The game needs a cap.

  41. Douglas A. on May 6, 2023 at 4:01 am

    Here we go again Chris Paul hurt again in the playoffs??? Same old story !!! Wise up Pheonix move on from Chris Paul you will be fine without him.

  42. Mercenary Gary on May 6, 2023 at 4:03 am

    That stat about no one averaging over 3.5ppg is bonkers.

  43. Mysterious K on May 6, 2023 at 4:04 am

    A 2nd round exit means nothing for the Suns. They always are chokers 😂😂

  44. Aaron Phdbdnd on May 6, 2023 at 4:05 am

    Sort of hilarious how its an entire panel on the Suns’ failings over the Nuggets’ superior defense

  45. K_N_J squad on May 6, 2023 at 4:07 am

    Suns need to let Paul go and get dame

  46. larry burks on May 6, 2023 at 4:07 am

    they traded away all their depth. couple that with an unreliable CP3, I dont know how anyone picked them to win a title 😂

  47. Glenn Ajero on May 6, 2023 at 4:09 am

    Suns arent finished yet. Stop predicting stuff! 😂

  48. rah holman on May 6, 2023 at 4:10 am

    I actually learned something new with that segment interesting

  49. I Wouldn’t Like Me Either on May 6, 2023 at 4:11 am

    That alien just keeps making the NBA worst smh

  50. JR C on May 6, 2023 at 4:11 am
