Game 62 : Phoenix Suns (35-26) @ Denver Nuggets (42-19)

Phoenix is probably the TOP3 team in the West and the TOP5 in the league, but without Booker, this is a "must-win" home game for Denver with a chance to take back the lead in the West!

PHX has yet to achieve the chemistry of a TOP5 team but we definitely need to continue this roll we're on, especially with BOS on the horizon.

How in the Heck does GRAYSON ALLEN go off on this team ??? That's pathetic

I told you they were the clear winners of the Ayton deal! Ayton is a good player, but he doesn't fit into the Suns' dynamic system and only occupied one MAX contract. As part of that blockbuster 3-teams trade the Suns relaxed the team's salary cap, and they got more usable players for them (Nurkic and Allen). Win-win case. The good news is that he is expiring, and his this season's breakthrough with sensational TS%68% (3p%47%) will make his new price just too high for the Suns to catch this Summer.

C'mon Joker, this was clearly NOT about the talent level of Allen, he's averaging a mere 13ppg yet goes off for 28 against us. What I saw was a lackadaisical performance because there was no Booker, the Nuggets clearly took a night off...sad to say. Did like the comeback but once Durant started going off in OT, they might of well as packed up and left as they had no heart, especially with the highly anticipated battle tonight against the C's.

Allen is just 13ppg because BIG3 Suns have on the GF spots he covers, but his near 70%TF% (near 50%3p%) efficiency is pure gold, especially for a GF player.

If we sweep C's 2:0 I will forget this unnecessary loss ASAP.
