The Nuggets look, feel and play as if they do not care about this game.

A stroll in the sun through the quarters.

Lessee what happens in game 4.

I believe the refs are influenced by home court crowds in the PO's. I'm curious what the discrepancy of fouls are between home & road teams

lmao they may need to remove Harden from these "playoff mode" commercials. It is getting a bit embarrassing

Yeah, he's definitely getting some soft calls, but you have to expect it for a superstar on a home team down 2-0. Nothing surprising here. It definitely hasn't been bad enough for me to get upset about as long as the refs chill a little bit in the second half and don't start fouling people out. Denver's been bricking a ton of open looks or it could easily be like 63-60.

Where were you when Denver had like 28 FTs to the Suns 2 or 3 at halftime of game 2 or game 1 :lol:

Booker/CP/Ayton all settle for mid range shots while rarely ever going to the hoop looking for contact. KD was doing the same until this half...

I don't think it's over yet, but their energy is just not there. Suns aren't playing particularly forceful, Nuggets just haven't had it.

I don’t think that should be a foul on Ayton….. why aren’t y’all complaining ….

Suns would probably be better if Ayton fouled out.

Ayton, on the offensive end, plays like a 6'3" to 6'4" guard

Need the Nugs to keep it close for the over. Hit them J's boys. Let's get MJ/MPJ to wake up.

azcatz11 · Post #357 » by **azcatz11** » Sat May 6, 2023 3:46 am

That's one of the best passes I've ever seen by Jokic

Nuggets have Gordon on Ayton to guard Booker in the PnR.

The Nugz got too much weapons. Suns look overwhelmed

Agreed but he's getting bailed out on some soft contact that he's forcing himself. Didn't say all FTs were bogus lol.

Who wins?
