Here’s what went down Wednesday on Gambo & Ash…

MVP3?…the Suns are suddenly the talk of the NBA after Tuesday’s win over the Heat in Miami to improve to 4-0.  The guys are picking up a sense that this team could win more games than the “experts” think in what should be an extremely tough Western Conference.  Gambo believes a lot of the Suns’ offensive success this year stems from the fact that Shaq is no longer clogging the middle.  With O’Neal being replaced by shooting “bigs” like Channing Frye, the club is taking advantage when teams go to double Nash on lane penetration.  Ash liked the way Alvin Gentry went to a zone defense and made the Heat try to beat the Suns with perimeter jump shots.
 Two Old Horses…biggest subplot entering Game 6 of the World Series Wednesday is the scheduled starters for both teams.  Phils righty and former Red Sox great Pedro Martinez again has the city of Boston on his side hoping Philly can extend the series versus the hated Yankees, while Andy Pettitte is hoping to cement his legacy as one of the greatest post-season pitchers in baseball history with a series-clinching win in the Bronx.  The guys debated whether Pettitte’s HGH admittance and link to close friend Roger Clemens will cost him a shot at Cooperstown when his playing days are over.
 Delicate Situation…Ken Whisenhunt is again struggling with what to do with tough, but gimpy, Anquan Boldin who’s lingering sprained ankle again has him questionable for this weekend’s game against the Bears at Soldier Field.  The guys are torn on this, because they have never questioned Q’s toughness, but know a healthy Steve Breaston might be a better second option for Kurt Warner than a hobbled Boldin who left Sunday’s loss to Carolina early because the pain threshold was too high.  The guys feel Warner’s comments on Doug & Wolf Wednesday morning says Boldin should shut it down for two weeks is in the best interest of all parties.
Our ESPN NBA analyst Tim Legler joined us to share his thoughts on the Suns perfect 4-0 start and what he expects to see in Wednesday’s matchup against the tough Orlando Magic.  “Legs” also discussed what stood out to him over the first week of the regular season including the Nuggets best start in the past 25 years (4-0) and the Cavs eyeing disgruntled Warriors’ forward Stephen Jackson in a possible deal to help LeBron James and add another defensive stopper.
Our baseball insider Tim Kurkjian joined us LIVE from Yankee Stadium just before Game 6 of the World Series.  He shared his thoughts on what he expects to see from veterans Pedro Martinez and Andy Pettitte as the Bronx Bombers look to close it out.  Kurkjian still feels the Yanks are in the driver’s seat, even after their Game 5 loss and believes Pettitte will make the Hall of Fame even with a somewhat tarnished image.
 Amare’can Idol…the judges (Gambo, Ash, Burnsy) have spoken and for the first time in the 2009-10 season they feel Amare Stoudemire played like a “max player” in Tuesday’s upset win over the Heat.  Gambo broke the tie (Burnsy said no, Ash said yes) citing although STAT wasn’t the high scorer, his defense and rebounding were both focal points in the victory.

Thursday we’ll be joined by Cards linebacker Bertrand Berry at 1:40, Angels All-Star Torii Hunter at 2:25, Red Birds quarterback Kurt Warner at 3:25, and Jerry Colangelo at 5:10.
