Western Conference Round 2, Game 1: Suns (0-0) @ Nuggets (0-0), Sat 4/29/23

[ShelC]

Shamet's too small to match up I think in this series. Monty's giving Lee minute who's a bit bigger and tougher but not a great defender either.

If MPJ, AG and Jeff Green are hitting 3s all series we're in trouble.

[Split T]

Shamet can chase Murray around screens, but ya I don’t think he can handle the bigger wings

[Split T]

We need to rebound…they are killing us on 2nd chance. Absolutely can not give this team 2 chances

[Kryptonic]

Gonna need another 50pt 3rd quarter if we’re gonna stay in this game.

[Split T]

We can’t play 3 bad offensive players together against this team.

[Sunsfan4life]

12 offensive rebounds. That's embarrassing

[virtual9mm]

When the scrubs are hitting contested 3s for Denver, not much you can do except to weather the onslaight.

[Shabazz]

Also, I feel like a broken record, but WE NEED TO TAKE 3s! 4 attempts in a half is not going to work.

[Split T]

9/16 vs 2/4 from 3 is not going to get it done

I don’t know if KCP is a scrub…he’s a good shooter

[Furlanfufi]

Shamet getting exposed... Ayton can't defend Jokic and Booker not finding his shot. This doesn't look so good.

[djy2j]

Just ramming a heavy dose of Shamet down everyone's throat ls down 17

[ShelC]

I'd try Payne in the 2nd half for a spark. KD is fine, Book is struggling. Craig was active on defense and on the boards. I'd still take my chances with Brown, Green and AG taking 3s but we gotta get some 3s up too and not just KD.

[Mori Chu]

Gave up a ton of offensive boards. Nugs hit a ton of their 3s. Nice start to the 2nd half but we need to play better if we want a chance.

[MightyMoog]

It’d be nice if Ayton got half the respect Jokic gets from the refs.

[Flagrant Fowl]

It's not the difference in the game, but the Suns have been getting a terrible whistle since the end of the first quarter. Jokic is getting away with so much slapping and reaching.

[AmareIsGod]

Refs have been absolute fucks.

[wpmiller42]

In Ayton's defense, he can't box out both Jokic and Gordon. We have to help him out.

[Wally_West]

Bring their lead down to 8-10 going to the 4th please.

[virtual9mm]

Just kind of hanging in there, chipping away. I'd like our chances normally. But they would have a lead if the bunnies were falling...and I see this as a sign of tired legs. Does Booker have another level left?
