Landale plays very aggressive. He's easy to get in foul trouble. They can try to get joker in the post and let him go against Landale. Because Biyombo is behind him and he can't stop joker either.

I don't think it will be easy. They aren't great on the road. They should win game 7 easily though unless Booker + KD go nuclear.

Also I don't think losing Ayton is a big deal, Suns might even play better without that low motor bum.

Suns really got to keep it close when Jokic is in and build the lead when he's out. They can't get a stop when Jokic has the ball.

Booker and AD probably going to play 48 minutes. It's do or die.

Hakeem Olajuwon wouldn't tolerate being defended by Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo. C'mon now, Jokic.

He's right. Have you ever heard of a player sitting out an elimination PO game due to a rib bruise? It's pathetic.

Eh, you can never know what kind of pain someone else is in and what it's stopping them from being able to do. If the guy can't move right, he can't move right.

You like what the Suns are doing, 4 points from Booker + Durant and Others getting theirs. However, not sure if it's sustainable and if this is what the Nuggets want.

He doesn't want to go down under with Landale.

Anyone else have a love hate relationship with ugly short jumpers by jokic bouncing around the rim? Like...I HATE how ugly that is, but I also love just the "who cares, just go in" feel you get with Jokic.

Durant used to handle the physicality of playoff ball better. But between this series and Boston last year, he's looked shaken when the physicality turns up.

Who wins?
