I think it's safe to say it now -- the Suns are just the better team.

And I'm starting to think that this is the best point guard play I have ever seen out of a Phoenix Suns point guard. And yes -- I haven't forgotten the glory of KJ, Kidd, and Nash. I've never seen this kind of poise imparted upon the entire team.

The team almost looks and feels like San Antonio of old. I'm loving it.
The passing, the defense, the poise, the balanced attack... have we become our former enemy?
We still don't have the best PF to play the game...so...no.
Still...you know what I mean.

Isn't it great?

Wow just wow. Is this the standard for us now? Can't believe my eyes. Execution at its best. Pop must be proud with Monty's team.

They might have had Duncan but CP3 > Tony Parker and Booker > Manu.

Hell yeah it's great!
I still can't believe how good this team is. Maybe because with the Nash teams they were good from the get go.

I didn't want to jinx anything, but she had a massive blowout poop during the 1st quarter and we had to change her out of the Suns onesie. Glad it didn't portend anything bad in the game! :-)

Looks like the suns fan was removed from the arena. People are saying the confrontation was initiated by the 2 Nuggets fans. Hate seeing it get ugly, but glad nothing like this has happened in so far in Phoenix.

Supposedly they were going back and forth as the game was ending and one of the Denver fans poured a beer on the Suns guy's head which is when it went sideways.

Not cool. As usual I favor banning idiot fans causing violence or other bad mischief.

Yeah, but it did foretell a blowout Suns win!

Great stat:

Jokic put up 32 points, 20 boards, and 10 assists.

Denver's other four starters combined for 30, 11 and 1.

Truly a one-man team.

Has any team ever beat both Denver and Utah in the playoffs back-to-back...or even at all? It seems like a tough task.

Still haven't really got to go through my timeline properly to see the comments in the Twitterverse last night.

Nothing much really to add to what everyone else is saying, the poise of the team is just so cool to watch.

I'm gonna watch it over in a little bit though 🙂
