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

I mean Gordon has had a 1 off game outside of that there isn't much that was unexpected other than the 3 pt attempt discrepancy

[Mori Chu]

I hope Monty pulls the starters soon. Save something in the tank for Game 2.

[AmareIsGod]

They went insane and Murray has been nuclear.

[AmareIsGod]

Bench time.

[specialsauce]

Deandre with a fantastic 7 rebounds. Really working hard out there. Fucking loser

[virtual9mm]

Well we tried everyone but Book and KD on Murray I think and nothing's worked.

1st round Booker could have

[wpmiller42]

It's not the reason we're losing, but the nuggets have been able to be a lot more physical with getting called for fouls.

[AmareIsGod]

I've got good tickets to game 4. Section 105. If anyone here is interested.

To be fair, they couldn't miss for stretches. Really wish our key guys didn't get so many minutes tonight.

[specialsauce]

Jokic with 19 rebounds. Suck my ass DA. Can’t wait for you to be shipped out with your low motor

[Superbone]

Well, we got punched in the mouth but it’s just one game.

[Superbone]

KD looks great, he's getting what he wants. Book's legs look a little heavy, not a lot of burst.

Yeah, Book didn’t seem to have it tonight. Murray way outplayed him.

[Superbone]

Refs overturned the call so Book got the layup and the foul but I hate using the challenge like that in the 1st.

Agree…. Might need that late in the 4th quarter.

About that…

[Mori Chu]

And there we go.

[Superbone]

I'm not sure who you go to but the Nuggets are on pace for like 130 and their shots are alot easier than ours.

Looks like they’re going to get it too. 122 with 3:13 left. Plus, we couldn’t get a stop to save our lives. And when we did, we couldn’t get the defensive rebound. Just got out worked.

[Superbone]

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

Book took one in the 4th? Is that right?

[Superbone]

Denver just clowning on us now. Are we going to start using Payne ever again? Might be better than Shamet. Just sayin’.

[Superbone]

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?

Not today.

[Sunsfan4life]

Adjustments for game 2...

Payne for shamet
Jock for Bizzy
Ross for Lee

Even with those...we're in deep trouble. The fact Book attempted 1 three...he looked gas. This smells like 4-1 unfortunately

[Flagrant Fowl]

I don't expect the Suns to win 4 out of the next 6 against this Nuggets team.

Jokic and Murray won't have trouble matching Booker and KD, and the Nuggets depth and continuity are too much to handle for the rest of the Suns role players.

[Sunsfan4life]

They went insane and Murray has been nuclear.

Kind of. But they killed us on the boards and behind the arc. That's not a solvable problems unfortunately with this roster. I'd try dusting off Ross for shooting but he's a corpse on D.
