BSOTS Podcast

by Ben Golliver on Mar 26, 2009 10:45 AM PDT

If you're looking to kill time until Casey and Dave's official podcast and the Quick Chat hit the internets, swing by SB Nation's Suns blog, Bright Side of the Sun, to check out a podcast I did last night with Phoenix Stan.

It's roughly 30 minutes and topics include:

Rex's warmup music
Threatening Stan with the wrath of the BE Standing Army
Stan admitting defeat to Blazers Edge readers to avoid an internet war
Mocking Steve Nash's lost step
Defending Greg Oden's honor
Me talking over every one of Stan's questions because I'm not very good at podcasts
Excellent answers from Stan to my obscure questions about random Suns bench players

I can't say that we provide the most incisive commentary you will hear and I also can't guarantee that it's worth a half hour of your life... but check it out.

And thanks to everyone that offered podcast advice on Twitter yesterday.

Whether you check it out or not, why don't you head over to BSOTS and send them a pregame message? I know you're only thinking about the game today anyway and I know Stan would love to hear from you. You can hear the fear in his voice.

Hmm, I'll have to check with my boss first.

Not sure she’ll be down with me slacking off of reading and commenting on the fanposts to listen to a 30-minute podcast.

If we do get in an internet war with these guys

can we count our +5 charisma bonus if we are within 10’ of Greg Oden? Is our +3 Frost Brand effective in Phoenix’s dry, hot environment?

Can you teach Dave to talk with more confidence even if you are not really sure how to answer :)

I think just sounding deep and loud helps. Nicely done Ben and Stan, very entertaining.

Funny podcast.

I loved it when you brought up the 52 points and Stan was “…”

We could call Lopez a bust

Oh wait, that doesn’t really hurt them before Amar’e and Shaq are gone.

haha Greg isn't soft.

You obviously didn’t see him give LeBron the business.

You have a really good blog, and I enjoy reading, but you’re dead wrong on Greg. He dominated the game on Monday. When he has his explosiveness back from microfracture and with it, the ability to finish with one hand, he’ll be good. He already averages 14/10 when he plays 30 minutes or more.

this now now now age we live in

is utterly stupid. Since when can we call a rookie a bust? Is Bayless a bust? How about Rudy, I mean he is 2 years older than Greg, shouldn’t he be an all star already? This junk is a complete joke, can we give these KIDS a couple years in the league before we smack on the bust label and move on to the next big thing?

"conversations" are overrated

fun stuff, but you really gotta pause once in a while to let the host get in a word or two.

reasonable perspective from a rational (but engaged) fan.

interesting talk about Nash leaving PHX

I think a great place for him would be OKC, run and gun with those young guys – seriously, they could be dangerous

It's all about outscoring the other team

If you can score 145 a game then… lol

PHX, GS, and DEN have tried that…

It would be a crazy fun team to watch, but not a great one.

Phoenix still got extremely close to winning a title with that kind of team. If Nash stops bleeding and can finish game 5 or 6 or whichever it was, Suns may very well win that series. Without Nash for final couple minutes… well, yeah.

good job on the podcast

and good call on Chris “Birdbrain” Anderson — or as I like to call him, Chris “Coked-Out Gary Busey Jr.” Anderson. He’s almost as irritating to look at as Mel “I Belong In 1974” Kiper Jr.

Ben, you realize that with KD we probably wouldn't have Bayless, right ;-)

Pritchard would really have had to acquire a center/power forward in the last draft if they had gone with Durant over Oden, since Joel alone can’t be the long-term answer. Best case he could have moved up to get Brook Lopez. Bad case we are standing there with Robin Lopez, Roy Hibbert, Javale McGee or maybe Channing playing a lot of center.
