PREGAME: Kevin Durant STILL OUT As Phoenix Suns Face RENEWED Warriors, Jimmy Butler

YouTube video by PHNX Sports

Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @stephenpg3.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

I asked Mike Budenholzer about if their formula for success shifts when they're without some of their top-level talents, or if it remains mostly the same "The philosophical approach, a lot of it stays the same. Guys just gotta go play basketball & make good plays on both ends."

Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @stephenpg3.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

I asked Devin Booker about the delicate balance of wearing the scorer & playmaker hats, & where he feels he is in that: "Sometimes I watch a game back & feel like I could've been more aggressive, sometimes I feel like I took bad shots & had people open — it's all a feel"

Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @stephenpg3.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

When it rains, it pours Durant's greatness has often been an umbrella to help the Suns navigate things this season With him out for the next handful of games, what's next & what can we expect in the short-term? We'll speak on it all at @phnxsuns.bsky.social👇🏾 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybWY...

Stephen PridGeon-Garner 🏁 @stephenpg3.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Per NBA's tracking, Devin Booker leads in drives post ASB with 267, & passes via, with 131 This season he also still leads in 3-point assists (253), +25 over 2nd place His balance of scoring drives vs probing (engaging help) has been *impactful* His best playmaking season yet

Ryan Dunn's at 43% on 14 attempts since returning to the main rotation The point of growth continues to be the confidence on the catch for him — seldomly do you see him in the catch & hold scenarios, he's made the quick decisions (shoot/pass/drive) a habit & that's a major positive
