As a Suns fan, I apologize for having to bleach your eyes after this abomination of a game. Why am I a masochist? Where is my gimp mask?

Whats the plan here?

Right, we’re gonna look back and be like remember when that Durant trade ruined the Suns so bad that Devin Booker demanded a trade right before his MVP season?” Well, unless Jokic just wins the next 5 MVPs.”

I'm so glad I quit after Nash left, I just couldn't deal with Sarver ruining his chances... Suns used to be my 2nd team, glad I got out :lol:

Don't think I could have handled watching Booker grow and then drop 13 and 12 in elimination games at home the last 2 years, oof.

Knicks are my second team, just so you can understand my misery even more. I'm basically the Michael Jordan of fandom.

Jokic is the real MVP. Everybody knows it, except for some delusional Sixers fans. Cool thing is, I doubt he really cares much; he just wants to go out there and make his teammates better and win. He’s literally the complete opposite of that gigantic crybaby in Philly. Crybiid will have the least respected MVP award in history, all because him and his boy Perk had to turn it into a political thing. Disgraceful.

Where's the poll option for Suns in 9?

Those guys have freak genetics. My man joker can’t jump over a wet floor sign. He’s out there figure skating or doing a ballet recital finessing and sonning everyone. Way more skilled with combination of his post scoring, touch, vision, footwork, body contortion, literally everything.

I can't wait until Booker demands a trade so I can follow him to literally any other team.

Meh he didn't run off like Anthony Edwards. He shook hands with the Nuggets. Who cares how they treat media vultures. :lol:

I"d rather pay a fine then deal with those idiots right now

Guy pirouettes effortlessly to a tear drop in the paint then busts out back to defense in a jog so awkward it looks like it’s hurting him. It makes no sense.

Nuggets were the better team. In a way this is good for us because hopefully big changes are in order. I said previously I will root for the Nuggets rest of the way if they advance and I stick by it. Jokic deserves a ring.

Miami is going to right their draft day wrong by taking Justise over him

Booker with Jimmy Buckets would be insane.

It's weirdly endearing seeing KD giving every opponent a proper bear hug.

I give credit to Coach Malone for not tinkering with his lineups & rotations like other coaches have been doing from game to game.

Just stuck with the same 8 players every game, even after 2 straight losses.

I guess that's what you do when you have a lot of confidence that you are the better team.

Who wins?
