Game Day: Suns (35-26) @ Nuggets (42-19), Tues 3/5/24

[Split T]

I don’t get the bad offense talk. We have had the most wide open shots ever…but we bricked them. Thats the game. If we literally just hit one of those we would’ve won lol

Ya we missed like 6 straight wide open 3s…and I’m not talking Okogie 3s…Grayson Allen, KD, EG, O’Neale 3s…with normal percentages we hit 2 or 3 and probably coast to a win.

I don’t know what it is but we can’t shoot in the 4th

[Split T]

Misleading because the first 4 fouls weren’t even on Jokic…that was his big problem.

Also shoutout Eubanks…he was really good tonight.

[Split T]

When it comes down to it…no Booker, KD and Beal were 20/52 combined and we beat a fully healthy Nuggets team on their home court. Massive win.

I'm seeing some highlights on the TL, is Bol Bol this teams C of the future?

He didn’t get back in in the 2nd half I don’t think…maybe for a short stint. Had a nice offensive move and a nice block…not sure he did much else.

He started the 4th and played great disruptive defense. He alters way more shots than he blocks.

[Split T]

Ya I remember him forcing a bad Murray shot at one point. I think I’m just remembering him not coming in in the 3rd

[Gladiator]

That was a big time win for this team. It shows a ceiling i don’t think we had actually seen before. It’s underpinned by effort and focus on D, which was great at times, very disruptive.
Now to make that the new normal!!

[Superbone]

Allen going full booker tonight

Booker wishes!

[Superbone]

You crazies, watching this team, bless you.

We were rewarded tonight. All of our collective, negative reverse jinx paid off. But not until suffering through yet another horrible 4th quarter.

[Superbone]

Ain’t Denver one of the best clutch teams this year?

0-1 in OT.
Suns 3-0.

[Superbone]

That’s game

It is? Weird.

[Superbone]

OT…we won’t win though

OK.

[Superbone]

There should be a fan vote to see if we even want OT

Dude, we can't do 4th quarters but our OTs are pristine!

[Superbone]

Kinda feel like we are gonna win now lol

THAT's the spirit.

[Superbone]

So it really is a curse right? It’s suddenly not the 4th and we’re good again?

Oh, it's the 4th alright.

They showed all his highlights on the TNT half time show.

[Superbone]

Also shoutout Eubanks…he was really good tonight.

Thank you. For all the crap he gets around here, he played well in Nurk's absence and was a difference maker.

That was quite the surprise! Maybe this team can play defense.

He can take a punch, he'll be alright.

Great win but also super frustrating watching KD brick for 4 quarters. We need to find ways to get him easier shots off the ball. And there were a lot of possessions when he should've attacked quickly off the dribble but instead held it longer to go ISO and take a tougher shot. Glad he was able to step up and hit the big ones down the stretch otherwise it would've been Armageddon on his ass.

Refs did their best taking Nurk out of the game. They let us play physical a few games ago, blew the whistle on soft ones in this one. Huge game from Eubanks filling in. Beal took a while to get warmed up but played well later on. Still feels like he's passing up shots after he beats his man. Allen almost singlehandedly beat the Nuggets. Thought EG gave us good minutes too even if his shot wasn't falling.

Good to see us flying around on defense. Looked like everyone was locked in and rotating well. Ball was moving well on offense for the most part but still got stagnant and we tightened up in the 4th giving up the lead. We just are who we are at this point late in games. Maybe we figure it out and something clicks but it hasn't yet.
