I think it's a Euro thing. They're better fundamentally, but there are some that can really be insufferable. (Divac and Donic are the first two that come to mind)

Frank, please stop waiting 15 minutes to play Bol.
No kidding. Kid has earned some more playing time.
And Thad.

Has Vogel maximized a single players talent on this team?

Dude has no clue.
Hell no he hasn't, Vogel is such a dweeb.
Maybe Nurkic and Allen.

We have to keep his value down so we can retain him at the minimum 1 more year.

Reports of his demise seem greatly exaggerated.


But why does Vogel stick with his same wack ass rotations?

Bol has earned more time, Poobanks has been unreliable, give Thad a shot, hard to be worse than Poobanks.

The big trick to beating Denver is keeping Jokic from having one of those 30 point 15 assists 12 rebound games. With Murray out, if you can slow Jokic somewhat, they're beatable.

And I expected him tohave a big game with Nurk out.

But basketball is a crazy game sometimes.

How did we defend him? Did we double him a lot?

Hilarious game. Happy for the win. Happy that non playoff teams aren't in the playoffs.

Smart without Murray…KCP looks like he made us pay at times, but everyone else missed. Denver plays a lot of meh shooters…especially without Murray.

8 (!) mostly sloppy turnovers aside, KD was pretty great in this one.

And great Thad minutes.

Suns' bench made the difference.
21 rebounds combined from Young, O'Neale and Bol.
All bench players in the plus column for +/-.
Suns' bench outscored Denver's 29-15.

My favorite play of the game and biggest smile was when Young skied for a rebound in the 4th taking it alway from Aaron Gordon. I had no idea he could still jump like that.

You really need to clarify Gordon’s lol…. From Eric Gordon? Not impressed…. Aaron Gordon, now that’s impressive! 😘😋

It’s right up there with Timmy Duncan’s incredulous wide-eyes whenever a call doesn’t favor his team. Except Jokic takes it up a notch and stomps his feet like my toddler when I tell her we can’t go outside, it’s raining.

Agreed. I couldn’t believe it. Against dunk contest runner-up no less. Very impressive game from Thad.
