Game 80: Denver Nuggets (52-27) @ Phoenix Suns (44-35) l Thursday l 7:00pm l TNT

[SunsRback4Good]

I remember checking our offensive/defensive rating right before we traded for Durant it was off- 18th in league; def- 12th in league. Now fast forward three weeks later and Phoenix is a respectable 12th on offense & 7th on defense.

I picked Wheezy. Guessing he's a rapper. Not familiar with him. I don't hate him at all. Just can bring myself to pick a Sun as I really don't hate anyone.

KD saying the plan was to get some real game minutes tonight to work on things. I think they let the Nuggies keep it close just to try some stuff out. They turned it on for like 2 minutes and that's all they really had to do.

I don't think they let the Nuggets keep it close but I think it's a case of just not being very motivated to play with a killer instinct.
And it's also possible the Nuggets simply played an excellent game. When the time came, we did enough to pull it out and thankfully, no injuries

[King4Day]

I don't expect our main starters to play tonight after how many minutes they had last night. Especially KD.
LAC they'll probably play a bit in the first and 3rd quarter and that's it.

I remember Mavs fans on GB asking who will play defense on the Suns now with Mikal gone. Told them they need to worry about Mavs defense.

I was at the game last night - the crowd definitely wasn't into the game at all until late in the 4th Q (way mroe excitement for the hamburger construction contest lol) and the SUns definitely weren't into it.

Not sure how much the TNT cameras caught it, but the Suns players were joking and laughing on the court with the Nuggets players quite a bit between game action.

Last night was not anything serious at all - CP3 literally had 0 assists until the 4th Q.

Anyone trying to make something last night more than it was is overdoing it.

I had the game on mute but I def got that vibe. Not taking anything away from Denver because I don't want it to sound like I'm making excuses. This week feels like everyone's last week of school where there is little to no stress.
Happy we didn't get hurt and the team developed a bit more chemistry.

I had no idea our defense improved. Doesn't feel that way with all of these games where we give up over 110. Also because we're playing lesser opponents. Hopefully it does continue into the playoffs

Holy ****, is anyone on earth more irritating than Wheezy screaming into a microphone?

Wheezy? Which one is that though man?

The dude with the afro that screams into a mic. You only get it on streams without commercials that show the jumbotron feed. It's awful.

If it was there’s a good reason why he permanently left this board. Seeing as Grumpy disses him at every opportunity one can only take so much until…

Poof disappear like Houdini
