WC | Rd. 2| (2) Suns vs (3) Nuggets [4-0 Suns]

[Lexluthor]

The nuggets needs some dogs on their team . This current team is not good enough to win a championship. Even if Jamal Murray did not I still think they would lose this series

[Saciid11]

Hard fought series by the undermanned-at-the-worst-time Nuggets. Come back healthy and strong.

Congrats to the Suns on a well-deserved win. Rest up, blaze on!

Nuggets problem is not having Murray, their problem is at the defensive end. Suns would have still won this series if Murray played either swept them or in 5 ...

Even if it did hurt, you don't lie on the floor in fetal position. You get up and hold your nose and make a stank face instead of behaving like he knocked you unconcious. Your boy is a little bitch who wanted to get the opponent ejected by acting like it's more serious than it is, sorry that you can't see that.

Oh please, like 50+% of NBA players don't try that **** every single game.

They actually don't, I rarely see any player laying on the floor for a couple of minutes like that, the guy is just ready to do anything to not have to go back to China

His play is what's keeping him in the NBA right now. He's been great.

[Phystic]

Cam Payne ruined what could’ve been a super fun quarter in an elimination game for the mvp. Smh

Ya stupid Payne, throwing his face into Jokic's arm like that.

lol oh please, that was an Oscar worthy performance for the ages. At worst, Jokic swiped him across the nose and his nose didn't break.

Either Payne is one of the weakest players in the league or it was acting.

Every NBA falls to the floor on jump shots. Lebron falls to the ground on a free throw. May have been exaggerated but that's the NBA. Welcome.

But it's a 290lb guys arm hitting a 190lb guy in the face/nose. The INTENT was the reason why he was ejected, do I agree that should be the type of foul in a playoff game, let alone in an elimination game? No. But that's the rule. It was an EASY Flagrant 1

[KIRAG]

A booker-Mitchell matchup in the conf finals would be insanely fun to watch. Hope we get it

I really hope Mike Conley will be able to play too coz I want to see a rematch of him and CP3. Two defensive, solid vet PGs going after their first championship

Cp3 inside game would be nullified by the Jazz. I like his chances against the Clips

Except the intent wasn't to hit him in the face... it was to go for the ball. As it was clearly shown on the replay. He got way more ball than face.

Props to Cam Payne for recognizing it and acting like he got his jaw broken by Mike Tyson that certainly sold it.

Just give it up man, Payne could have died on that court.

I don't deny that, but that was definitely the best play of the series for him Played more than a few basketball games back in my day, broke my nose playing ball once, saw others get hit in the nose too, and I never kept lying on the floor, it doesn't make sense to do that if you're hit in the nose, you just get up and try to figure out how bad it is while standing or sitting. Unless you're a little bitch with an agenda like Payne(:

You're right, my condolences to him and his family.

I agree. Jokic is not that type of player. He was a bit frustrated and intended to give a hard foul without hitting his face.

[cursedsportsfan]

My only regret in this game is that Payne didn't stay on the ground a little longer

It was a really dumb move by the current MVP though. Why even give the refs a reason to eject you. That was like when someone throws their cell phone against a wall when they get mad without thinking that they're gonna have to spend $1100 on a new cell phone the next day.

Whatever's clever.

I would rather see this series extending a bit for the Suns, now they have quite a time off and they will cool off :/
Clipps-Jazz series will last 2-3 more games at least and its almost a week before WCF start.
They will get rested, but is double edged sword for them ...

A pro team doesnt just go limp because they havent played for 7 days. When you're led by a 36-year-old, you take the time off, gladly.

It certainly is and his legacy would take a mountain of a jump if he wins the championship. He needs it to happen.
