Game Day Playoff Edition — Round 2, Game 2 — Denver Nuggets @ Phoenix Suns, Wednesday 6/9/2021

[Wally_West]

If Denver starts hitting 3s, Suns are gonna be in big trouble.


Getting wide open looks.

[Split T]

Pretty pass CP3

[phatmike]

If we can get Super Dario this series, motherf$&@Kerz better watch out.

Yessss!!

[Wally_West]

DARIO IS BACK!!!

[Wally_West]

Ayton is back. Denver is about target him. Hope he’s ready.

[Wally_West]

Cam Johnson ain’t working.

[Split T]

Refs calling ticky tack off ball stuff now…c’mon


Well I’ll take that book and-1

[wpmiller42]

If we just make some layups, we're up 15

[Wally_West]

Suns could easily be up 15 right now. Denver probably feeling good about where they are at and you have to think they are gonna snap out of their bad shooting at some point in the game. Suns need to focus and have strong finish going into halftime.

Those were two straight strange decisions by Paul.

Payne is Ish Smith with a three?

[Wally_West]

I’m glad Suns up 10 at half but you just know Nuggets 3s are gonna starting falling at some point. Hope the Suns are prepared. Our offense needs too to be precise in the 2nd half.

[Mori Chu]

Strong first half, up 10. Booker leading the way. Bridges also having a strong game again. Ayton got 2 early fouls but was able to avoid getting the third one, which is huge. Jokic had 15 but I don't think we made it easy for him. Barton looks good out there; he gives them another weapon they sorely need.

[Split T]

MPJ didn’t look right…we’ll see what he has in half 2

[Split T]

This was a beautiful pass from Jokic

I get that perspective, but I’m not hugely bothered by this. I know that we shot something like 6/15 for 40% from 3, but we actually I think if we look at our expected fg% from three we probably shot worse than we could have given how open most of those threes were as well as several bunnies missed at the rim and the two strange jumpers by CP3. Love the defensive effort so far. Awesome steal and dunk by Booker.

Ya it’s the 2/6 from Ayton and Paul, Cam 0/3 on 2s. Bridges 0/3 on wide open corner 3s. Craig is 0/3 too

[ShelC]

Choppy 1st half, both teams missed a lot of shots they usually make. We missed a lot of close ones at the rim but credit the Denver defense for some good defense, especially in transition. Nugs have missed a ton of 3s so it's disappointing we're only up 10. Figured DA would get a couple quick fouls but great to see Dario come in and play well. Felt like he had a chance to be more effective against the Nugs frontline and played Jokic well I thought.

CP's gotta pass or shoot. He was looking for the pass over the top to DA a few times I think but the Nuggets had it covered. I like that we're attacking tho but Bridges and Cam Johnson need to finish.

[Split T]

So Campazzo on Bridges? Yes please

[phatmike]

Crowder!!

[ShelC]

BOSSMAN!
