Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: BSAZ, TNT

The Nuggets are still looking to lock down the number 1 seed in the West tonight against the hottest team in the NBA on their home floor. The Nuggets are coming off a disappointing loss to the Rockets. They are a little beat up as well as Murray sprained his thumb in the loss and Jokic is dealing with a calf issue. Meanwhile, the Suns are healthy and peaking at the right time and will hopefully keep it going throughout the playoffs. They have locked up the 4th seed in the West. The same spot the Warriors came from last year to win the NBA Championship. Just sayin'.

It doesn't look like the Nuggets care to play their entire team to clinch the playoffs or even get a hint how they match up with the Suns.

[Superbone]

Sounds like they might need to forfeit.

[Split T]

I hope we blow them out by 50

I hope we blow them out by 50

If it's anything like our last couple of games it will be a huge lead in the first Q then struggle bus for Qs 2 & 3 followed by a 4th Q we need our starters in to finish the game off.

Warriors were the 3 seed last year, otherwise they would have been on the same side of the playoff bracket as the Suns and played (and likely beaten) us in the second round.

[Mori Chu]

I say rest KD and CP3. Don't take any risks. Who cares about this game; we are locked into the 4 seed. Don't play the starters!!

[Split T]

We’re gonna play.. Monty said these games are about getting KD up to playoff minutes

My bad. Would have been less painful.

Never mind. The nba.com article was wrong. Nuggets have clinched. That changes things tonight.

[Split T]

Well we look like garbage early

[TOO]

Ayton just got away with 9 in the key.

[Split T]

Is Book ever gonna hit a 3 again?

[TOO]

Its such a bummer nobody respects the Suns paint defense, they know we'll foul them or allow a layup every damn time. Just awful.

[TOO]

Why is Ayton playing Jordan 18 feet from the rim?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Don't take away anything meaningful from these next three games.

[Split T]

If we’re gonna play like this, just don’t play the starters

I hadn't really noticed his struggles from 3 but oof. His game log recently is not good.
