Western Conference Round 2, Game 2: Suns (0-1) @ Nuggets (1-0), Mon 5/01/23

Ayton had played well. Montys defensive schemes have been good. His offensive ones have been well...preseason like.

[Flagrant Fowl]

That was my worry as well. I've not been concerned much with rotations or offense in general. Defense and rebounding are the areas with zero margin for error.

Suns are shooting 35% yet up 2. Why?

15 more shot attempts
1 more three made.

[Gladiator]

Love the rebounding. Can’t see Durant’ s cold streak continuing (backing him in for a big third). We haven’t had a FT yet which is something given how physical it has been. We just gotta keep up the intensity - the rest will work itself out.
Also I know Payne didn’t make a shot but I didn’t mind his minutes. His pace and erraticness (if that’s a word!) makes the Denver d have to react and scramble and can open up some stuff for others.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I don't remember how many turnovers they had at halftime in Game 1, but I'm pretty sure it was at least double the 5 they have in this game.

Refs and TNT announcers are terrible

Greg (Punch you in the back of the head) Anthony is doing color for TNT.
At least his wardrobe taste has improved ...

[Split T]

Well we fixed our biggest problems from last game. 0 offensive rebounds for Denver, only 5 turnovers, and we took 17 3s. We also only hit 4 of those 3s and shot 35% from the field.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Uh oh. I know some people are triggered.

[Shabazz]

CP doing his Raymond Felton thing.

Not a fan of the wide open double-clutch jump shot?

Not when 6 out of 7 are bricks.

[djy2j]

Book you gotta shoot that

[Superbone]

I just got to half time. What an intense, physical, 70's style basketball game. Other than Ayton's first weak shot at the rim, I'm pretty happy with his play and intensity.

[Superbone]

Now that I'm retired, I'm going to try something new tonight and stay up with the action and post during commercial breaks. Watch out!

Partying too hard in the retired life? 2nd commercial break and no 'bone

Yeah, I didn't make it like I had hoped. Watched the end of the Celtics loss first. I'm catching up soon though.

[Flagrant Fowl]

WTF is Booker doing this half?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Nuggets first offensive rebound comes because Jokic got away with a moving screen that pulled Ayton out to the shot contest.

Terrible terrible terrible haha

WTF is Booker doing this half?

Give the Nuggets some credit, they figured out he was rolling hard to the hoop and made sure to tip him up in his drives

[Split T]

Offense is finding it’s rhythm

[Flagrant Fowl]

Is he actually following through with his words? He's been great at all of the little stuff that he annoyingly usually ignores.

His first three possessions were just.. oof. Overthinking it way too much.

[djy2j]

Here comes the bs foul calls
