I still don’t want him suspended

Let’s just play

Not interested in Jokic being suspended personally, but as a life long Suns fan it'd be a little vindicating to see someone else held to the same standard that Amare and Diaw were. Whatever happens, happens though, I just want good basketball.

Devin Booker is special. We should all be grateful he stuck around through all of the bull. He is incredible. As long as we put a team worth a **** around him, we can compete.

Me too! Ask yourself would a superstar get suspended in the 90’s for what Jokic did and miss a critical game 5?

I agree, and still don't believe he'll be suspended, but that video makes it pretty clear that he should be.

Nuggets HC Michael Malone on the technical foul on Joker and interaction with Suns owner Matt Ishbia.
He referred to him as “some fan” and when asked if it matters that he’s the team’s owner, Malone says “I really don’t give a ****!”

I hope people realize Ayton came in during the 4th with 4:55 remaining and the Suns had a 10 point lead. It quickly evaporated to 3 in just about 2 minutes. I was really surprised Monty did not yank him because his defense was crappy for that stretch. DA was -13 for the game, the worst on the team. Missed a crucial free throw and got out hustled by Gordon on the out of bounds challenge by Denver during the closing quarter. Yet, he gets on the ground and wins a jump ball and somehow a few folks think he is the savior of the game.

Didn’t he have like 3 offensive rebounds the first possession and then and the game with friggen 8!?! I barely got to watch the game as I was working but looking at the box score I can’t imagine he had that big of an impact with 5 rebounds after the first minute of basketball

Shamet's dream is the matrix we're in now.

Steph Shamet pls.

I think you guys are too much.

Yeah he did lose the ball on the challenge but he grabbed the loose ball which was crucial and won the jump ball.

Last 2 minutes he stepped it up big time.

Look I’m not a Landry Shamet guy, but I understood why he was playing, especially with CP3 out. Many of you were bitching and moaning about Shamet playing over Okogie, you really think Okogie hits 4 threes in the 4th like Shamet does tonight? The Suns need another ball handler with CP3 out and someone that can MAYBE hit open shots, Landry does that. I’m surprised with his defense, man he’s trying so hard out there.

I hope this board shuts the hell up about firing Monty Williams for a bit. Yes, he should have gone to Ross and TJ earlier in the series, but I understood why he went with more defensive type players next to KD and Book than worrying about more offense. Suns fans and this board need to be better.

Another pretty disappointing game for DA. I’m not sure what’s going on with him but boy do we need him to snap outta of it. He had some hustle plays but overall not doing much. Book and KD are doing everything they can. We need more from DA going forward.

Seems like Suns fans have been saying "We need more from DA" since he got here.I think he is who he is at this point.I'll be glad when he's gone this offseason.I'm ready for the Ayton experience to end.

I was one of the few who didn't really flinch down 2, these guys are good. I think we win in 6 now. Our rotations are solid. I still think Ross is due for a big one, too.

He should be able to give us at least 15pts and 10 rebounds on his worst game. He finished tonight with 8pts and 8rebs (when he started the game with 3 rebounds). He’s been in foul trouble a lot this series. I do think the officials are calling lame calls on him but we need him to at minimum to get back to his average numbers.

I also was not worried about being down 0-2. I thought the Suns would have won GAME 2 if CP3 did not get hurt. It should be 3-1 right now. Game 5 will be tough. I think the winner of that game probably wins the series. I hope Joker continues to try to beat us himself.

Ultimately, I trust KD and Book a lot more than Jokic and Murray. Winning in Denver will be hard. I got Suns winning the next two. Let’s go!

So many people want him traded and think he should be traded (including myself) but we’re all gonna be disappointed because trading him on his current contract will not be easy. He has no value and he has ton of years and is extremely overpaid for what he brings to the court.
