2023 West Semifinals | (1) Denver Nuggets VS (4) Phoenix Suns (DEN WINS 4-2)

[iLLmatic860]

why does Phoenix find a new way to get embarrassed every year?

[jokeboy86]

Two dumb fouls by joker.

[dWadeOwnzYou]

Are ESPN anti Nuggets or something? Why no headline on their front page describing this beat down? If it was any other team, they would say stuff like "The Lakers are in full control dominating every facet of the game".

[mademan]

Denver came out like they already won.

[Diop]

Malone about to have a heart attack the poor bugger

[BigGargamel]

Stop screwing around, Denver.

[CelticSooner]

Everyone needs to apologize to Ayton. Looks like he was the true MVP of this team.

Durant’s mom gave him her flowers.

[Lalouie]

i find this to be interesting

den is blasting phx. they could easily pepper phx with 2pt midranges and layups at a 60% clip, and let phx 50% 3pt shooting,,,and den STILL wins by 50.

but shooting a 3 in basketball today is like breathing, ie they do it unconsciously and without a care

take porter and his dumb @** 3's out and let someone else play

[HotRocks34]

Denver better stay focused. Game is far from over.

[JDR720]

Landale is +9

[Roger Murdock]

Hubie Brown still being this good at 89 is LeBron esque

[TinmanZBoy]

MPJ is day dreaming

[G R E Y]

Good on Malone to be pissed off and make sure his team has a fire lit under them.

[Wolfgang630]

Why is so hard to stay focused and keep playing at the same level??

[djsunyc]

nuggets currently on an 85-62 run.

[Zeno]

They can try and move Ayton and see if they can get a couple players in return.

Besides that I think they're kind of all in with this squad and I have to hope by some miracle Paul can actually play in the playoffs.

They can waive and stretch Paul over 5 years. That would open up their MLE and the ability to take back more money in trades.

I guess they could he's owed $60 million over the next couple years but apparently it's not fully guaranteed.

15 million over 5 years is only a 3 million hit per. He is probably getting waived and stretched because of the new 2nd apron.

[NBA4Lyfe]

Karma for the Suns, Monty and CP3 have been doing Ayton and, to a lesser extent, a few other players dirty, playing mind games

I remember when cp3 used to get into scuffles with David west when he was in New Orleans

[GeorgeSears]

MPJ in this quarter: 0/3 with 3 bricks, 1 turnover, and terrible defensive rotation leading to Landale's layup.

[cpower]

This really isn't a KD problem. He is old. He can't carry a game like prime KD anymore. He is playing without his max salary #1 pick who is too soft to play this game.

Problem is coaching, team mentality, softness of Ayton, Paul being injure.

wait..when did he do that?

Just like Curry, never.

just like any player, never

[Sharkboy242]

Come on nuggets. Stick to the process. Keep getting Jokic touches
