Make sure to grab a snack because it is going to be a jam-packed episode. And the first topic at hand today that we're going to be breaking down is the Grayson Allen injury update. like I mentioned in the introduction the Phoenix Suns are saved by this Grayson Allen is a huge three-point shooter for our squad when guys like Bradley Beal when guys like Devin Booker unfortunately are not going from three-point range and as we've seen over the first two games that's what we've been experimenting with and Grayson Allen hasn't been that guy be able to step up and yesterday we needed him but unfortunately he went down early with an ankle injury but we have an update from Amanda Pluvgard who says that Frank Vogel says that the x-rays were negative for Grayson Allen and he'll be considered day to day which is huge news from watching that injury go down it looked like this was going to be a long-term ankle injury for Grayson Allen he had to be helped off the court when they showed him in the tunnel on the TNT broadcast he was being helped walking through the tunnel putting no pressure on it at all and the announcers were even thinking that it's not going to be obviously a bad decision for game two but for the future of this series could he be out game three could he be out even possibly game four or potentially the entire series but with the x-rays being negative this is a good sign because great like I mentioned Grayson Allen has been a key contender for our Suns team like I mentioned averaging around 14 points four rebounds three assists all up on his career high averages then we look at the field goal percentage as well shooting around 50 percent from the field 46 percent from three and 88 percent from the free throw Grayson Allen has been a huge difference maker for the Suns success and really for the Suns offense generating and being so successful when guys like Bradley Beal had those injuries and were out we needed a guy like Grayson Allen to continue with that stroke to continue with that three-point shooting having that volume and he is a key piece that's why they extended him four years 70 million on a long-term deal a contract kind of similar to what Duncan Robinson get possibly a kind of contract similar to what Sam Hauser could get for the Boston Celtics in the future but yes Grayson Allen been a key contributor and we are going to need him back hopefully he'll be back for game three as we'll need that shooting as well as we all know Booker and Beal had those struggles in the first two games hopefully they kind of wake up as well let me know your thoughts down below in the comment section down below what are your guys's thoughts on Grayson Allen and when do you guys think that he'll be back for game three or do you guys think they're going to give him some more rest but let's dive into the main topic at hand today which is Frank Vogel calling out the Phoenix Suns and Frank Vogel had some choice of words to say following this second loss to Minnesota and what I want to say is is the Suns dominated the second quarter with no Karl-Anthony Towns but after in that second half the turnovers were abundant atrocious and it's what has led to kind of the collapse here as we see Frank, this is an article for Sports Illustrated where Frank Vogel calls out the Phoenix Suns saying they need to handle the pressure better according to Frank Vogel and he had to say this, saying that they got to handle the pressure better I thought we found some things in the first half that worked really well in terms of our movement and passing cut offense we didn't sustain it when they weren't on a run and we didn't stay locked into that plan we had too many lost possessions because of it and Phoenix hasn't scored over 100 points in either of their matchups was just absolutely atrocious for this Suns team like we mentioned this team is known for its offense it's known for its creativity but Devin Booker one of the best scorers in the NBA the best shooting guard in the NBA. Kevin Durant, such a creative playmaker, such a creative scorer, has that size to be able to shoot over guys and be able to play against wings, play against big men, play against guards, being able to take over offensively. And both of those guys have not showed up. Bradley Beal brought in to be that extra third scorer, has not come through. This Suns team needs these shots to be falling, needs them to be clicking. And another problem with this team is the turnovers. As we obviously have mentioned, we've had an issue, Frank Vogel said, with that throughout the course of the year of taking care of the basketball, and it reared its head tonight. The team is an elite defensive team, the best defensive team in the league, and so you've got to play against it, and you've got to be able to execute. Like we mentioned, the Timberwolves, one of the best defensive teams, they are going to be able to knock us down, be able to play those defensive pressures, be able to swarm us, be able to stop us. Guys like Beal and Booker have got to be able to handle the ball, and that's the main problem, not having that true point guard, not having that facilitator to work through, and that's a big issue for the Phoenix Suns. ultimately in my opinion I was confused with this move bringing in Bradley Beal and even with bringing him in I kind of figured Bradley Beal and Booker would play the 2-3 alongside KD maybe he'd be a taller four and would go out and get another guard to help us out a guard to run and set up the offense would have you know two shooters on the wings being able to help us out but no no we're gonna run with Booker we're gonna run with Beal being our playmakers and yes they're not bad playmakers they can set up some plays and be able to facilitate in some aspects but they're not gonna be able to run an offense that's not their role and we clearly see it with this team with the pick and roll with Gobert and with Towns the double big man is so tough for us to even set up a pick and roll with our bigs that it's impossible to even get into the paint even get a pass open in the paint we just bring up the ball we shoot a mid-range we'll bring up we'll shoot some threes and if they're not falling it's not working out for us fortunately for us in the second quarter Karl-Anthony Towns took three fouls early on in the first quarter so we were able to dominate down low kind of willis into that game but Mike Conley on the other side was willing them back just basically scoring on us with no problems and that was another issue right there is not being able to stop that bleeding being able to contain that and like i mentioned we're a terrible turnover team we want to look at the turnovers we are a bottom six team in turnovers and it's because again we don't have that true facilitator we don't have that guy can set up the offense we don't have a guy that can fully bring it in and be that playmaker run a Phoenix style offense and that could be a little problem with Frank Vogel as well, you know, not really looking at these rotations and kind of running some stagnant lineups throughout the playoffs as we've seen but exactly we can't let the refs distract us or distract our focus, the refs didn't beat us the T-Wolves did, we got some bad calls but that happens in every game, it happens both ways, we have to be locked in, we can't be distracted or lose our focus when they're swarming on us, we're going to get the right stops, we've got to be organized offensively, we've had too many possessions like that, so exactly talking about the refs as well not putting the blame on the refs, this game was very physical, Anthony Edwards and Bradley Beal were going at it back and forth, we saw Devin Booker and Jaden McDaniels getting a little bit of a scuffle here, this little like I guess rivalry is kind of brewing now, I wouldn't want to call it a rivalry but you know these teams are clashing obviously Anthony Edwards very passionate guy, wanted defending his Minnesota team, talking to KD now talking to Bradley Beal but the Suns are obviously want to back themselves up, they want to feel confident, they want to still believe in themselves and Devin Booker had to say this about these Suns, you need to regroup and keep their season alive, saying that they got to regroup we got two days to think about it, two days to sit with it and you know we've showed them in spots this season and it's something that we need to correct and correct urgently game three will be on friday back in phoenix and like we mentioned it is a must win a big time performance for our phoenix suns as they have to be able to come out and get a big time dub verse this squad to prove to everybody that we are still a contender we are still those guys we are still that team that everybody wants us to be because the phoenix suns ladies and gentlemen need that prowess they need to show off that they need to show that they're still a contender they still need to prove to everybody that because that's the one problem with this team is everybody's counting us out everybody's hating on us everybody's throwing us out the window our time is over but no it is not ladies and gentlemen but there are some tweaks and some adjustments that we need to make if we want to look and look at the stats of this team Devin Durant averaging around 25 points Devin Booker averaging 19 Bradley Beal averaging 15 that needs to step up our offense needs to be gelling look at these shooting stats Devin Booker shooting 38 from the playoffs 25 from three with having a one for six game last night those are the key things that need to change for this squad to be able to come alive we need to wake up offensively Frank Vogel is right we need to gel we need to come together Devin Booker is that we have two days ladies and gentlemen two days to get our offense going to get it back and to win this game because i'm not going to call this series over yet i think that if we go home we're able to handle business play our type of ball our type of style we can beat this minnesota team team minnesota team our defense can handle their offense their offense is not scary we saw anthony edwards go off game one but last night he had a bad performance we were still in it until the turnovers cost us late in the second half we need to stop the turnovers get our offensive set get our plays going well and be able to dominate at home game three that is our game plan we need to set the tempo right in phoenix to win that game to make sure to put the timberwolves on their heels back them up a little bit for game four and then make it a series if the suns get both of these games we're back in this series it is ready to go but if the timberwolves take one in phoenix honestly it's going to be some making issues and we're going to be breaking down what's going to happen with that and throughout the offseason on this channel here with suns digest if you guys enjoyed the
