So go ahead and download the free anchor app or go to Anchor dot. F m-- to get started and now for the sun solar panel podcast Hey, what's up? This is Gospel from Phi Yuca. And you were listening to the sun solar panel podcast about emotions. So basically overall you got introduced to the designs of The Practice Facility. But what was great about it is that you had access to the general manager and the managing partner of the sons and they talked about the team which was a little unexpected. I didn't even think about that. So that's pretty great. And yeah, tell us what you learned today man. Yeah. So, you know the thing that sounds like what they're trying to do with this is it's not just going to be Building that's there that is a strictly Sons facility and Mercury as well because it's for both teams, but they're really looking to make that area kind of a little a little Mecha Robert Sarver said something to the effect of he wants it to end up being kind of the preeminent non downtown area in Phoenix. So they're putting in The Practice Facility. There's also on that same property apparently going to be a hotel that's going in. That's a Sam Fox. Own hotel, and I made a comment to Brendan because he was there today that Sam Fox might be quickly nipping at the heels of Robert Stivers. One of them are wealthy people in Phoenix because now he's got a hotel that's going up right there in terms of the facility itself. It sounds like it's going to be a flag of better way of putting it is super cool super cool place for these players to be able to go there's gonna be 24/7 access for the players including access using retinal scans. So it's like I don't know. Heuristic, I mean that's that's pretty sweet. They're they're saying how the players like to go in late get up shots coaches like to go and late. So they want to make sure that players that are on the team have access to that facility at all times. There's also an indoor/outdoor aspect to it included in addition to having the obviously practice facilities a practice courts. And what have you inside there's going to be a 40-yard turf field that's outside where where players can work out as well. And another kind of cool aspect of it and I keep saying cool asset because you look at it from the perspective of possibly trying to get players interested in coming to the Phoenix Suns. I've certainly think that it's useful to be able to lower them by by having these really neat facilities me look at like perhaps not a perfect example, but University of Oregon with everything they have in up there with their football team and how they're able to attract players. But in that regard Sarver brought up the fact that every area Within the facility is going to be open to Natural Light, even the practice courts. So with that setting that's right there at 44th Street and Camelback the view of Camelback Mountain. I think it's going to be something that's going to be very alluring to two players. And I think it'll be interesting to see once it's done what we might be able to how that might be able to operate in terms of getting free agents getting again players interested in Phoenix as a destination like it used to be back in the good old days. That sounds pretty incredible. And I've seen some pictures of it as well and it looks a little futuristic to and I know James Jones talked over the summer that it was going to be like a place players can stay there's gonna be a lot of sleeping quarters and several kitchens and things like that to it's pretty good. And that was one thing that James Jones said when he got up there and spoke, you know, he said if you're a player there's nothing more important for you than knowing that when you step into a building that you have the best and I think that kind of Falls in line with the whole concept. depth of getting players interested who might not be on the Phoenix Suns right now about possibly coming to the team in the future and making sure that they know that they're well taken care of and have facilities where they're going to get top-notch state-of-the-art, you know technology access amenities and what have you and it seems like based on what I heard today that they're certainly trending in that direction the Phoenix Suns are so this is also Robert for sarver's First Media appearance apparently since It's 2017. Probably the Smart Choice. Honestly, I understand it. It was it that's a PR decision and it wasn't on unlike certain times while I was with the team as well. They chose to keep him away from speaking with the media and dealing with that. So that doesn't necessarily surprise me that it that it's been that long and probably for the better James Jones. Has been able to kind of become the face of the organization along with Monty Williams and we know that works but this is a business that thing I mean as much as its basketball its business its City oriented as well. So that's why Robert server was the face of this in particular that doesn't surprise me in this case and it's his money. He's the one funding it so I I thought you said three million he can he can say whatever the hell he wants. I thought it was interesting when I heard. I watched the a little bit video. Of him talking that he said it was about 45 million dollar project. As of today and he said call me next week because it'll probably yeah, but the original promise was 75 or 80 million or something like that that he was going to fund his own money. Yeah, and I'm kind of curious as to whether or not when he says 45 million dollars if they're talking specifically about just that facility because like I said, there are apparently going to be some other some other attractions for lack of better way of putting it that are going to be going in that area. I don't know if perhaps some of that is going to come into it, or maybe they Add that much money knowing that it's going to continue to build up your speculation would be as good as mine because he certainly didn't delve into that. But yeah, he said 45 million today. So what's the feelings are in Phoenix regarding this does it people excited? They actually feel like it's going to make a difference for the team as well as an economic benefit in the area looked at that area doesn't need any any economic benefit. That's already an athlete with a flu and area there. Yeah, I know server does do a lot of work in the non-m fluent areas. They just don't he just talked about it today. They put a million bucks up to in shoot every Maryvale Mary Taylor. Yeah, and so then he does do a lot of work with the inner-city things. This particular practice facility is no it's on purpose in about the best part one of the best parts of town. They literally said that this is where the players and their families would live in this area. And so that's what made it so convenient. Well look and a lot of teams do this. I mean, this is an unheard of this is the suns are actually one of the last actually jump on this. Rain, in terms of building your practice facility where players want to live. I mean, I'm pretty sure the Spurs actually built their practice facility right near where Tim Duncan wanted to live to convince him not to sign with the Orlando Magic back then as part of it. I'm not joking. I had that actually if I'm remembering that story correctly is was part of the deal with him. So this isn't unheard of and it's actually a smart move. It's interesting though team offices will move their so employees. We'll work out of their day to day operations will happen there. The only thing that'll happen down at the arena is the games and the ticket sales. Yeah and Tim to your point to you know, I haven't heard a lot since the whole city council thing went down about the practice facility any further, but a couple of points that Sarver brought up while he was speaking as it pertains to or it could have even been one of the the Builder or possibly Deacon scene who was there as well, but Justin, Right, right. Maybe I'm making this up in my head. I'm not sure I wrote it down though. So I'm assuming it's coming from somewhere. But the they indicated that with the facility going in there the hotel that's going to be their restaurants that are going to be there as well. They're expecting an influx of 1700 jobs in the area. There's 350 million dollars total in private Capital that are going into it and also mention was the benefit for the city when it comes to Hotel taxes as Eating again. This is over 25 years, but 50 million dollars over 25 years and then another 33 million dollars in property taxes. So when you look outside of the scope of okay, it's a practice facility for the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Mercury and there perhaps are going to be some social amenities around the like restaurants. The hotel would have you they certainly are putting at least some level of focus on the financial benefit that this is going to presumably bring to the City of Phoenix look having eaten lunch with a lot of people that work there. That's the economic benefit to that area. There's gonna be so many people going to lunch just from that from those offices right there. They'll make they'll make their money back and yeah, imagine being a business right there already and there's like, yeah, it's that property tax though. It's funny one of the one of the sorry Tim but one of the building on the corner right there is a medical building and my kids pediatrician in the is in there. So I'm like well, maybe I'll be Taking my kids to other doctors appointments more often or something just linger around a little bit and you could just you could just leave the kid at the doctor and say I'll be back in a couple hours. I'm going to go watch a practice Justin. I need to I need to clarify something because the audio was breaking up for me at one point. But you you said there's going to be a 40-yard Turf indoor turf outdoor the outdoor those times when the sun's want to play flag football or today elaborate on. On why that was part of this there was no elaboration as to why that's part of it, but it was brought up in there who would be this 40 yard outside outside Turf. He could be hula dancer who dancing, you know, perhaps if you don't want to you don't want to run out of that yoga Yoga and that be good if it was Earl Watson in the yoga would be editing would definitely be and play with it. So legit when you're playing basketball with somebody you can tell who played soccer and who did it just by looking at the looking at the footwork. How's your yeah. Yeah. Usually kick the ball more often. The said. Yeah, the sad thing is that I did play soccer as a kid, but I didn't help my lateral movement. So let me ask you guys. Let me ask you guys this do you really believe we've heard and it was brought up again today? That the been one of the benefits of this is the fact that it will help attract Top Line free agents. Do you think a practice facility is legitimately going to accomplish that for the Phoenix Suns or do you think that's more posturing as to why it was important to get that the vote passed for the new Arena and and The Practice Facility. I feel it's a little a little overblown. I don't think any guys guys strippers Iza. Yeah, well he signed without that practice facility. So my point was just made I guess but you know, I think it maybe has some but I asked all the other big-name free agents who signed with the sun's well, you know, or the one has written. Yeah, I think wasn't Jared Dudley who had said something about the practice facility being awful and then Devin Booker like the Tweet. Hey, Jared Dudley says a lot of crap though. I love JD but I I wouldn't base my opinion based on Jared Dudley. Even Robert server. I think when I watched that video from earlier said that well, okay. This practice really is at least third on the list of things. I mean, the firt first is players second as coaches third is stuff and amenities and but you know Greg when you go on vacation, it is kind of important to you at your hotel room looks like right. I mean it's important to you to know where you're staying and what kind of amenities you're going to have when you have downtime. That's a that's what they're selling. Link to these guys that is not the case after my summer league experience. I'll just say that I let Tim book all that stuff and and I obviously obviously regret that on many many levels. No Peppa is the case because from now on that's going to matter to you. This is our hotel we stayed at was fine. Did you not use a black light? Let's be honest the hotel we stayed in was the current Phoenix Suns practice facilities of Vegas hotels. So I totally I now I'm totally on this word. There's this is it. So we heard so anyways, we're way off Greg Greg left at like 11 o'clock in the morning and didn't really stay for the pool party because he's a good man. So the pool party got interesting after that much more interesting, but I would liken it to okay, so I am going to buy or rent a condo somewhere whether or not they have a gem and a nice pool at the condo is not the decision Factor, but it definitely Is something that I could sit with you're going there for the gym isn't the gym a factor? Well, that's the thing is The Practice Facility. There's going to be some sleeping quarters and there's going to be kitchens and stuff like that so you can stay if you need to stay but it's a practice facility. So don't you want the best of where you're going if you can get it if that condo came with Monty Williams Devin Booker and Ricky Rubio, then yes, I'd and it was nice then. Yeah, I would so I think I think to your point Dave what what server said in Terms of is one of the factors is probably the most accurate statement we've heard about this and if you believe they want the coat over it soccer as a reference for good thinking. Hey, he's a smart businessman. I've never denied that that he obviously has made Solid business choices and in the end this is a business choice. But yeah, so I guess I guess if we believe Monty Williams is the man as the coach which we do. I think I don't think anybody's gonna argue that and we think that they have the do believe things are code. Yes, the foundational pieces for the future then then the practice facility does become an important element and everything. It seems like today they suggested this is going to be done before prior to next season. So I mean, it could have an impact and in free agency this summer as early as this summer. Yeah, August 1st is the date that Sarver throughout which if you do the math there that means the poor equipment staff. Is going to have to basically house their equipment somewhere between when they start the renovations at the arena, which is supposedly May or June until August. So I guess they're just gonna be driving U-Haul trucks around the valley until I bet their new homes homes ready. So now just flatbeds man and I have two players working out on the back of the flatbed. Don't lose your balance. All right guys, what you want to talk about some of the games that happened since last time we recorded. Yeah. Yeah. So Lakers game last night raise your hand if you watch the game, that's really great for audio. Yeah. Hey, we all raised our hands. Oh, that's all right. Of a different experience. I'll tell you what man. I'm so tired of Lakers fans. I got to tell you they it's bad enough when the Suns have sold out the arena with nearly sold out with season tickets and they still Lakers fans buy their tickets off them on secondary sources to make some money, but it's even worse when there's not many season tickets sold for a season. So all the tickets are open for anybody who wants them and the ticket prices were huge. The sticker prices were a hundred fifty bucks in the upper deck. It was crazy, but these Laker fans, Were buying them up and I feel like there was more Laker fans in that Arena than Sons fans. Although I do appreciate very much appreciate the sons fans cheering like crazy to try to drown out the Lakers fans. It was pretty interesting. It was like a concert where every good thing that happened on either end of the Court. There was a major incredible cheer because of those Fans to so there's a weird internal debate going on between certain people in the building as well. There was a lot of couples in the arena with one of them in his sons Jersey the other no Lakers jersey. So I with how could you do that? Like I just I know I need some pills that what it will do is get that to work at simple the Suns fan got some really good looking Lakers fan to go to the gate. You know, it's that's how Lakers fan got in a bit that does. I don't care how good looking at. Lakers fan is I'm not a I'm not in on that. I'm sorry. That's that's that's a that's a relationship that could never work and in my world. That's a deal-breaker. You know, that's a that's exactly that Laker fan jumpy. Anyway, as soon as something better comes along gotta tell you guys I definitely compromised for worse. So yeah, I think back to Vegas. Changes though. I want I want to get everybody's short opinions on them changes the rotation Devon Carter basically gone except for a few garbage time minutes. It doesn't surprise me. Yeah, really efficient week and a half. He didn't make her the I think he made one shot in a week and a half although Frank Kaminsky made one shot in a week and a half and he still has all the minutes he needs because the sun's needed him. They don't need Devon Carter because Tyler Johnson can play backup point guard and their staggering Rubio and Booker for all but like one or two minutes, they're literally putting Booker in for the first 11 minutes of the first quarter and then they're having Rubio come in at the start of the second quarter. The only given their only there's only about a 1 1 maybe 2 minute breather. We're not one of those two is on the court and they share the court for at least half of their time together. So it's really good and Monty's just decided. He doesn't need point guards really in that line other than Tyler Johnson for a minute or two and that's it at the end of the third and End of the first otherwise you've got one of Ruby on Booker. So I think I wonder if that changes when tied to Rome comes back though. I you know, I worry a little about that about him getting a chance because if mommy's really comfortable with a nine-man rotation in the sons are doing well. Maybe it's hard for Tyler Ty Jerome to get any time. You know, I wonder actually if Ty Jerome's going to start in the g-league for a game or two just to get his feet under him. I mean the dude is it has not been running even hardly in weeks. So I wouldn't put him in an NBA game immediately. I haven't practiced for a while for the team but even practices are not full-time because they're they're fully on their season schedule now, I mean Greg you remember firsthand, they'll go weeks without a practice because of their schedule real practice. They'll just do walkthroughs and and conditioning and stuff like that. So I would actually at the end especially the end of this month. I think it's five games in seven days. So they won't they won't practice at all even on the front and back end of that. As well so there won't be there won't be time to work them in there. So I think G that probably makes sense this last this last week. They had a couple of to day off periods at home and that's probably the last practices they'll have for a while anti-drone missed all that. So I think a Julie extent would not be surprising to me. I don't know for sure that he would get it, but it would it would not surprise me. Justin your thoughts on a Juwan Carter, you know it like I think Dave you said, you know his efficiency fell off. He was when he was hitting the three it was working out beautifully to have them in there, especially with the defensive intensity that we bring to the core but our last episode of Fanning the Flames that kind of reference the concept of it if it's not broken. Don't fix it well Javon Carter's involvement in the rotation and the team ended up becoming a bit broken and things are still clearly clicking with him on the bench and with Tyler Johnson picking up those minutes. So it makes all the sense in the world to me. And as far as I'm concerned the way the sons are playing right now Monty Williams can do whatever he wants and I'm going to be cool with it until I have evidence. Otherwise, I mean we've been we've been treated two years of players being frustrated with losing minutes players openly being frustrated show. In frustration in locker rooms after games after losing minutes and we always chalked it up to well a player's a competitor blah blah blah, but none of these guys are complaining on what Mommy's doing. I mean mine is not playing outside nine ten guys. There are guys who would love to get in games and they're not getting games Elia cobos been a true Pro now Devon Carter, he was up cheering he was up getting the fans off there like he did in the game where he's actually playing he did it again with his warm-ups on getting a cheering getting the fans up off their butts at some point. He wanted them to and then I want to touch on really quick Kelly oubre a killer Luber jr. Had a terrible game on Tuesday night. He was just he just was out of sync LeBron was just bullying him all over and over a just he was overshooting all of his shots. He has over five he hardly played in the second half the guy only scored one point for the game. He averages I forget somewhere around 15 for the year and he got one point in the game. You know, what he did after the game. He walked around the locker room. He don't think he did. An interview but he's walked around like he wasn't I wasn't angry or afraid or anything and then you know to say the wrong thing. I mean not afraid of us but fraid of saying the wrong thing, but he didn't do that and they posted on Instagram saying sorry Sons fans won't happen again. So taking ownership of playing poorly instead of blaming the coach for not letting him play out of it. I think that was that just shows Monty Williams is ability to get at these guys get them in the right frame of mind to play. Well, and the other thing I really like is is After the game the guys were talking about what they did wrong. They weren't talking about refs. They weren't talking about anything else other than this is what I did wrong. This is what I got wrong on. This is how I can get better every play matters that kind of thing. It's it was really nice to it's a great locker room this year and we'll look. I mean that that Lakers game came down to a bad to Mana stretch. There are 113 111 with a little over two minutes to play and it was a few mysteries on the sun's end and Kyle kuzma. There was having having literally actually what you just said Greg there was literally about a minute stretch their just the first the LeBron three to the kuzma the first the kuzma three that was like suddenly because that was a broken place a Bronte LeBron made one three a deep three and who you know, he's going to make them whatever Sons go down. They miss one. Then it comes back down on the Lakers offense and actually the brawn jacked up another 30 footer and missed it badly, but the rebound was so so long that the Lakers The ball then the sons were just kind of confused and scrambling for the first time all game. The sons did not react well and suddenly kuzma was open for three and the dudes hitting 20 percent on threes this year. So it's not the worst thing in the world to have him shoot him. And of course he made that and they made his next one and then the game was pretty much over but I give the sun's a lot of credit they battled they battled hard and both LeBron and the Lakers coach did what every other coach seems to be doing this year saying that that's a really good team and we feel it. This is a really good win for us for the ones who beat the sons and that's what Vogel said. That was a really good team and it's a great win for us. And now tonight the they're sitting Anthony Davis in the second of a back-to-back, but they played Anthony Davis and LeBron each 37 minutes against the sons. And Boga was very Frank Frank Vogel get it is very Frank about he's all his guys are playing and if they're going to rest it's going to be the next night and tonight is against Golden State. Who is this year? Santa Cruz Warriors well, and they needed every minute from LeBron and Anthony Davis. That's how well the sun played on Tuesday night. And that's that speaks volumes and to your point. The locker room is a different place because Monty Williams is such a solidifying force with that group because how Petty would it look if somebody after a game like that or any of these games so far this year came out and was complaining about playing time or minutes, you know. The past you know it Thomas. Yeah, I mean again in the past if a guy like Devon Carter had complained under Earl Watson's watch we all would have been like well that seems about right because you know this whole thing's a mess. But if he does it with the way Monty Williams is running things. He just he looks like a misfit. He looks like a guy that that doesn't belong it doesn't fit a culture and that speaks volumes to what they're building in this Locker. Absolutely. So on the last episode we talked a bit about Jim Johnson, we didn't actually break it down by all the three-man line UPS. Just I don't know if he had a chance to listen or if you've done the research yourself, but we basically looked at all the three-man line ups that Sons had and there was one common denominator with all of them the net negative ratings of all these three main line ups and that common denominator was cam Johnson. So, you know we talked about on the last episode whether or not cam Johnson should see a decrease in minutes since recording. We definitely seen more cam Johnson. Johnson he's jumped from 20 minutes to about 27 minutes a game your thoughts on him getting more minutes how he's played and whether or not you think that's the right decision for Monty. Excuse me. Um, you know, I again Monty Williams is going to do what Monty Williams is going to do and as long as the sons are playing like this, I'm going to support it and and also even with Cam struggling to some extent although he had a really good game. What was that the not the nothing. Her game, but the Nets game right? You play pretty well last night, but he also played yes, he played good on twos on Sunday as well. Yep, right and and ultimately when you have a player like that who obviously was brought in to shoot the three and you've had a guy like Frank Kaminsky who you brought in expect him to be able to shoot a three who has been cold is an understatement for the past couple of weeks until he kind of broke out a little bit. Yeah. It makes sense to give Cam Johnson those minutes and as long as the team continues to to play Well, remain competitive even if cams negative rating is or the net negative ratings are all you're seeing the common denominator of Cam Johnson. I think at the same time while he's an older rookie. He's still a rookie and he needs to get his feet underneath him when it comes to the NBA and if the sun's can accomplish that if Monty Williams going to accomplish that well at the same time ensuring that team remains competitive like they have been then so be it because from what I've seen of Cam Johnson when he shown those Is I see exactly what James Jones and his staff saw in cam Johnson when they when they drafted him and he could be a very important part of this team moving forward, especially as this season progresses. So why not give him those minutes and at the same time, I mean again when you have somebody like Frank Kaminsky who although they play different positions at struggling where else are you going to really look in terms of who else is in get playing time of Cam Johnson not taken up those minutes. So I'm perfectly fine with with Cam getting them and we're going to continue. Continue to see I'm sure games where he's struggling. We're going to see games where he breaks out a little bit and hopefully as this year progresses, if he continues to get those type of minutes, it'll be more consistently the game to where he's playing. Well overall as opposed to those games being the you know, the the not the norm it crazy to me. I've it's felt like he has struggled but then he look at at the statute. He shooting 40% from three and yet the eye test makes you feel like that is just not the case because it should be a hundred. While yet yet. Yes. When your when your nickname as Dave Dave you've dug him is cam. Wow, I expect higher than 40 percent from three. No, I think it's because he's been been streaky in some cases. So some games obviously have had more misses than the not but you look at it in totality or like he's actually shooting very well. He's the guy that they they told us he was and to your point just and he is or still a rookie so there's gonna be there. Going to be that adjustment period no matter how old or how many years he played in college coming in and it seems like he has Monty Williams trust and if that's the case in in turn I had my trust because I'm not I'm not betting against Monty Williams right now. I think it's hilarious that we make him sound like he's a 30 year old rookie or something like that. I mean, there are a lot of rookies in this league that are in their late 20s. And Kim is 3023. He's 23. Let's not pretend. He's like as old as everyone wants and it's just so it's a funny. It's a funny meme. I love the meme and all that but the dudes still has a lot to learn in the NBA. He looks good. He plays smart. He's got he's got good peripheral vision. He doesn't lose his man. He's not the most athletic guy in the world. But he also stays in front of because he does have just naturally long arms because he's 610 so he can do he can do things on the court that that are the greater than the sum of his parts and his hip haven't popped out a joint like we all thought was not even one. So when don't drink sit, sometimes they are taking on the Hawks who are allowing a hundred eight points per game that 17th of worst in the NBA while scoring a hundred four per game, which is the 24th worst offensive rating for a team my question to you guys with Evan Turner and John Collins both being out. How can the sun's over Kevin Starr Kevin? Herder what I say Evan Evan Turner's a big loss big loss. That's okay. It's okay Kevin. He's probably not going to play either but Kevin heard her definitely is out. And that's their second. That's our third and fourth leading scorers, right John so on so how can the sun's overcome the star power? That is Chandler Parsons Alex Len and Ben's party. I tell you what, Man, Vince Carter's probably going to drop a 20 on us. Son of a young doesn't go like 450 and we hear the so you could have had him too. Well, I tell you what, I feel happy. If Trey and Vince combined for 70 points that then the Hawks will lose by less than 10. I just don't see the Hawks winning this game. I don't because the site of gonna have 60 point every lost the sons of have kept the right mind frame mindset frame of mind every game all season. So I don't see the sun's lighting up in this game. I really don't I see this being my probably be like the Memphis game a couple weeks ago where it's not the final score isn't as wide as as you know, you might want it to be it won't be like Golden State or Sacramento where it's 25 points. It might only be 10. It might only be 12. It might be closer than we wanted to be all game because tray is a gamer and there are some really good players on that team that really want to stick it to the couple that really want to stick it to the sons if they can. But I still think the suns are going to win by 10 or 15 points just because they're going to execute better than Atlanta will and they're going to play enough defense to close out the game the way the suns were in not being quite good enough to beat the Lakers. I think it's going to be the Hawks to the sun's so I just don't see the Hawks being able to keep up with the sons team that focuses for even a couple of quarters and and the sons of also every game this year. They've lost the next game they've come out and Played really well, and I think that's going to carry out carry over here, especially when you lose a game like they lost last night to the Lakers emotional game. Obviously the biggest the biggest regular season game the sons of had in a decade give or take right? I think they'll come out focused and ready to roll again. You look at the loss to the Nuggets came out beat the Clippers loss of the jazz came out and beat the warriors with that ridiculous. First quarter loss to the heat came out and beat up on the Nets. So now we're looking at a game where they They lost to the Lakers. I think they're going to come out and 10 to 15 sounds about right because they'll probably be sitting a lot of their guys late in the fourth quarter. That's what I'm thinking and means dominating Alex Len. I think that's all we can. Look forward to what about the Alex Len Revenge game. That would have been last year. We watched Alex we've watched Alex for yeah exactly. He's been gone over a year, but we we know who he is. He can try to have a Revenge game and if he gets, 10 to 15 points that might feel like it for him. It's not going to make a big difference. Yeah, I was going to I was going to say 10 and 7 for his revenge game. That's fine Mist that is Revenge. Look I'm doing stuff in this building. I've never done before so NASA who get to pass in the lane the maybe should the sun should win that game pretty handedly they're definitely the better team. I do think Jabari Parker isn't necessarily the best matchup, but I don't think Bari Parker is going to be the difference between a 1 in a loss of the Sun seem. You know, what I see here is we're going to be bringing these comments up on Saturday. When we have to talk about the most stunning loss of the Sun Season. I feel like this is the first time we've confidently come out and be like no problem. This team's got this one. Okay, so I was on YouTube in just before the Sixers game. There's this semi-famous YouTube Sixers podcast guy that was talking about the Suns game. Saying how easily the Sixers were going to just Wallop on the sun's right. You guys should have seen the expression on his face in the tone in his voice the next day when he had to do that recap. I am picking at the Alex Len LED Atlanta Hawks to have a big victory versus the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Hopefully that's enough to reverse the Jinx that we give you're going to shave your beard again. It says I have just if the hottest opening the shave your beard again. You know, I'm just I'm just hoping I can reverse the Jinx that we put on put on them by being so confident about a win. So I like the way you think it's 10 years of this relationship. Well more than that 20 plus years of this relationship with this team. But the last 10 of made it made it rough. Yeah, well on that note are we done I got in trouble for ending the episode 2 early last time and I really don't want to do it again this time. We are done. There we go. You can you can end it to him that did I I'm gonna have a do in total prediction for the sun's no, I'm just kidding. So I think I do I did come out of last night's game Tuesday night's game saying the suns are definitely a playoff team. We can talk about that on Saturday. That's our that's our lead into Saturday's episode teaser. Justin from Fanning the Flames excellent podcast always a pleasure to have you on and I appreciate being on as always guys Absolutely.
