Was that Ayton leaving Phoenix Sky Harbor?

WCF!!! WCF!!! Still only halfway through but this team is incredible! Love CP#, he is just a monster when it's time to get some important points.
Now lets get that WC champions banner and that other one too

What a game. What a series. What a team! The Nuggets showed a lot of life in this one but it was just too little, too late. They were up against it, props to guys like Barton and Morris who gave the team a lift. Barton especially played his ass off coming off the injury. Just wasn't enough tho and even before Jokic was tossed, we had the game pretty much in hand.

There's not much more you can say about Paul, Book, Monty or the rest of the crew. Everyone's playing their asses off on both ends of the floor, everyone's locked in and there's no panic or quit, even when the other team is going on its run. The Nugs had no answer for Paul off the PnR. None whatsoever. He was just taking what they were giving him and making them pay. Really special to see a player take over so easily and put a team away.

Love the fans traveling, love the players acknowledging the fans, love Monty+CP, love Book getting his recognition, love DA stepping up and playing the MVP to a draw and not slacking or falling asleep. Jae's been huge Mikal and the Cams have made big plays at the right times. Just love this team.

I've gone from a DeAndre Ayton skeptic and critic to a full blown fanboy. I hope he and the fellas get housed tonight. They deserve it.

He’s such a bum, fg declining each game. Couldn’t even lead the team in fg% in the series!

I was being sarcastic btw.

The Booker tech was bullshit. He talked to Jokic, sure, but Jokic was the one that charged him and made contact. If anything Jokic should’ve been given a flagrant and a tech. If talking when your teammate gets half his face taken off is rewarded with a tech then maybe the league needs to change its logo to Gandhi and change its ad slogan from where amazing happens to where turning your other cheek happens. I can understand if this call was made in the heat of the moment but with the benefit of review it was plain asinine.

I've spent so much of the season being one of the Kool-Aid guys on here lol, always being an optimist that now we keep excelling I'm lost for words now
You say all season, Man I think..., If we could...., Don't think it is that far fetched.....

And now to see things materializing like some versions of day dreams I had countless times this season it's an unreal feeling smh

Already was in my feelings seeing the Monty/CP3 embrace but man that post game comment
He's been with me in the darkest of times......

Sigh smh
Every time I remember his wife and then study the type of guy he is, the forgiving the drunk driver, his speech and just everything he represents. man Monty is a helluva guy.

Glad he's getting success and long may it continue

The Suns fans here were so hungry for any kind of success.

Love it!!!
Forgot what this feeling was like!!
SWEEEEEEPPPP Baby!!

guys it has been over 4 hours. I am supposed to call my doctor now, right?

I went to my mom's house to watch the game last night. She kinda lost track of the team after my dad passed a few years ago - not that they were giving us fans anything to cheer about haha. She's been engaged toward the end of this season and into the playoffs. It's so fun watching with her, she has slowed down physically, but her mind is as sharp as ever watching plays unfold - she sees plays developing and reacts to things at the same pace that I do. Love it. She says I can't help but be a Suns fan since she was pregnant with me in the winter of '76 and went to a couple games. Haha.

What an absolute pleasure of a team to watch. The development has been insane, and I can't help but think that DA has been playing possum all year. It's the only thing I can think of. Book is who we thought he was, CP3 is a better player and leader than I ever could have imagined. Damn it's amazing what a HOF point guard can do. Weird, right? We have all the pieces required. Why not us?

Jokic's shooting splits for the series: .477/.278/.684

Holding him 18% below his usual FT% is a real accomplishment. Great free throw defense.

Suns' shooting splits for the series: .516/.425/.898

We wore him out so much it actually may have affected his FT%.

So proud of this team. They stayed focused and locked in the whole series. Even when Denver made their runs, the Suns stayed poised. The job isn't done yet. Eight down, eight more to go.

I guess Payne's nose is OK. Monty in that crowd was like, "Let me out of here!"

And apparently Ayton saved all of his dunk aggression for the postseason. He put the exclamation point on this one.

I wonder what becomes of Suns in Fo guy
If the team actually brings him to a game next round. He's already become a social media star smh, saw his image on multiple signs last night.

It was a crazy moment but chances are his life gonna be a tad more fun for it in the near future
