Mat Isbhia and James Jones spoke to Suns media for over 40 minutes yesterday, which means there was a LOT to digest. I listened, then re-listened, to what they had to say before giving my biggest takeaways:

Kevin Durant on Anthony Edwards trash talking him after making those 3s: “Yeah, it’s just basketball - not even playoffs, it’s just hoop. You get hot, you make shots, you make tough shots, you’re gonna feel excited about yourself. So it’s on me to keep coming back”

Devin Booker on facing Deandre Ayton: “It’s fun….He played extra hard tonight. I seen that, and my challenge for him is to play like that every night.”

Jusuf Nurkic on the Draymond Green incident: "What’s going on with him, I don’t know. Personally, that brother needs help. I’m glad he didn’t try to choke me."

“I’m kind of sick of hearing about everyone shitting on him nonstop.”
I asked Jock Landale about Deandre Ayton offering him words of advice despite being benched late in Game 3, and he went on an all-time rant about DA as a teammate and player:

Kevin Durant said he didn’t sleep last night after Game 3.
“Is that largely from the game?”
“That’s from life itself.”

Here's some Suns serotonin to start your day: Devin Booker was asked whether he competes harder against friends like KAT.
Book: "I do it every night. I have smoke with...a lot. Every night."
"The whole league," Kevin Durant chimed in.
Booker: "Yeah, everybody."

Deandre Ayton said he and Monty Williams have not spoken about their sideline incident in Game 7:

I asked Kevin Durant about his level of motivation coming off a sweep at this point in his career.
"I live and breathe this shit, bro. At this point in my life, I got a lot of shit going on outside of basketball, but what I’m mainly focused on is ball, bro." (1/2)

Kevin Durant is Kevin Durant. Full stop.

“I’m jealous.”
I asked Devin Booker if he had put in a word with Kevin Durant about showing up in Call Of Duty.

Only players/people of Mikal Bridges' and Cam Johnson's caliber could make fans feel a twinge of sadness while trading for Kevin Durant. It'd be a pretty neat story if the Suns won it all this season and were able to give them rings for what they gave this franchise

I, for one, can’t believe the dude who shoved Chris Paul in the back after he got 41 points dropped on his head in a closeout Western Conference Finals game, would go on national TV and say bad things about him! Surely unfiltered truth we’re getting there.

I really hate being the "If Devin Booker did this" guy...but I'm gonna be that guy for a sec, because if that's really all the fan said, if Devin Booker did this, he'd be the No. 1 trend on Twitter immediately

Cam Johnson said he thought he’d be there for about an hour and 60-100 people would show up. Then he got a text at 2 p.m. that there were about 300 people outside, so he knew they were going to have stay open “past business hours”
