Game Day: Nuggets (51-25) @ Suns (41-35), Fri 3/31/23

Outside of defense, Biz is 0 everywhere else.

Ayton +28
Biyombo -18

One of those guys is playing with the starters against bench players, the other one is playing with bench players against bench players. There's a massive difference in player quality here lol.

Yeesh…that run did start when Ayton went out…but I wouldn’t put it on either. Our ball handlers started being careless. Ayton wouldn’t have helped with that and Biyombo wasn’t the issue

[The Bobster]

I think the main problem is that Monty didn't call a timeout until much too late - once they started getting careless he should have called one, but he didn't until Denver had gotten back in the game.

[Split T]

Ya there was 6 turnovers on 8 possessions. Should have called it after 3

[Split T]

C’mon Ayton

[carey]

Booker not getting any calls.

[Split T]

Book has a gripe, that was a blatant foul

[Mori Chu]

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but this is basically the best reasonable expectable outcome for Denver. They rest almost everybody; they still almost win. We don't get to challenge them at full strength, and it makes it look like even with all our guys we can barely hang with them.

The Suns are looking to see what works, but there's just no excuse for the second half. The effort and execution just hasn't been there.

[carey]

Does Ayton realize he's a fucking giant? 4 of 11 when you're 7 feet god damn tall is embarrassing, much like this game. It's not his fault, I'm pissed at everyone, but he's such a pussy he gets my ire anyway.

Nah, just means we relaxed and Denver didn’t quit. We were up 27 on them.

How convenient, Denver covers the spread.

Conspiracy Moog says the NBA is rigged.

[The Bobster]

And then maybe there's not a big letdown if they aren't playing against bench players.

He just doesn’t make sense for this team anymore. All we need is defense and finishing easy baskets. He’s too finesse and his defense has regressed. Give me Clint Capela

[Superbone]

We gonna grab a rebound?

No.

What's wrong with Ayton? Totally listless tonight.

[Superbone]

DA looks slightly checked out. The guys really need to buckle down and not screw around cause we need this W.

He needs to wake the f up.

There will be a do over soon enough.

Been saying this. Any big that rebounds, defends and just catch and finish is an upgrade for the style they want to play. Dude got pushed around by a dinosaur tonight.

No.

Thinks he should be the 1st option? I don't know man, he's been on cruise control for most of the season. Maybe he knows he's on the block in the off-season? Suns tell him they'll match and then revisit next year type deal?
