Mr. Rankin probably using these quotes to get some clicks lol but the full clip is a decent listen especially the Craig aspect. Seems like they are really close

Let's go Suns! The key to this series imo isn't stopping Jokic, I don't think anyone can do that, but stopping his supporting cast, especially Porter Jr and not letting Jokic set up his teammates. Easier said than done obviously but lets see how are they going to cope with him. Go Suns!

The key is if Ayton can check Jokic without help. When Jokic forces the rest of the defense to react, that’s what lets him set up his teammates.

Yes, and in order to do that, he has to stay out of foul trouble. If he can get to 3 qtr with 2 fouls I think we will be good.

It will be interesting to see if we can get anything out of Dario in this series, I think he can be helpful if he is feeling good. Nuggets aren't as big and athletic as LAL and it should benefit Dario.

Suns and Nuggets are in the bottom 4 FTA wise. We have to stay aggressive like we were against LA and not being complacent.

Burns and Gambo were just talking about the Ayton-Jokic matchup. They said Ayton fouled Jokic zero times this season. He held Jokic to around 38% shooting (one of only two players to do so) while Jokic shot around 67% (?) against other Suns defenders.

It’s going to be interesting for sure. If “not worth a Max contract” Ayton can guard the “most likely MVP” Jokič one on one and keep him to 38%, that seems like game set match. And Ayton had zero fouls against him during the year? That doesn’t even seem possible.

Jokic will probably be announced as the MVP during this series also.

Playing and beating the Lakers was such a high. All I can say about this game is that I hope the Suns are more engaged in it than I am.

Hopefully this gives the Suns some extra motivation.
