30 points from Phoenix bench and 15 points from Denver’s pathetic bench

Nuggets PG play tonight without Murray: Reggie and CB combined 7 points, both -19. Scary bad.

No chance? It’s not debatable at all?

I mean it is much easier when you got chet and shai on your team not to mention not overcoming two years of the worst coaching in the nba

I'd be pretty pissed too if I got blocked on a game winner

Read on Twitter

He had a guy jump into him and cause contact leading to that weak throw-up attempt that was blocked.

He got fouled and refs confirmed it was missed after the game.

Thank you for the continued laugh.

This is the best way to beat the nuggets. Double Jokic and make them beat you from 3. Nuggets shoot the fewest 3 pointers.

Agree, not sure why more teams don't shoot 50% from three against Denver

Of course you can say that to any team. If you are missing your second best player you not are winning.

Nuggets fans in shock.

They're right to be.

Uncharacteristic play.

Good , tuff gritty road win and much need for the Suns, if they pull this off. Against the defending champs (Denver).

Eubanks outplayed Jokić :lol:

Jokić is not aggressive at all

We lost three Qs and won the game.

Incidentally, is tennis the only sport where you can win more total points and total games and lose the match?

Sure but for these nuggets, everyone just raves about jokic. Murray is absolutely critical for them.

I'd absolutely love to play Phoenix in the playoffs again, personally.

Nuggets play very good wing defense and guards the 3 pnt line.. Also. Murray didn't play tonite (injury).

Only a few teams, like the Suns (good shooting team), knows how to attack it.

Of course he is. They have excellent roll players but Denver has only two shot creators currently on the team.

Agreed. Jokic would have his way with Nurkic in a 7 game series, it’s a decent matchup for Denver

Just reaffirms my belief that The Suns have been the most disappointing/underachieving regular season team.

Yeah, how do you win the season series against the Nuggets (with your 2 wins coming IN Denver), and lose your season series vs SA (2 of the losses at home in a row).

Great game Phoenix.

Very impressive.

Hitachi77 · Post #320 » by **Hitachi77** » Thu Mar 28, 2024 4:36 am

Crazy how much Phoenix owns Denver. Even last game Murray played and Booker didn’t, and the Suns still built a 20+ lead before almost blowing it in the 4th. The Nuggets only win was a close game with the Suns only having KD. Suns probably win in 5 or 6 if they meet in the playoffs.

Who wins?
