Thank you Suns, our chances of falling below 5 are disintegrating thanks to your wins over Minnesota and Denver

Or the Finals last year vs MIL. Couldn't even walk by Giannis w/o getting called for a foul.

Aaron average Gordon had 16 shots and joker had 10. Unbelievable

Better hope you don't see us in the Finals. We'll run circles around Smart and Timelord :wink:

Funny you say that cause they are in the bottom of the league(6th worst) in free throws per game and are just 13th best for free throws per game.

Suns are too good.

If they’re on, they can easily win the title. Jokic can’t do it all himself. His teammates are flat out bad.

A lot of Suns fans in Denver. Even heard MVP chants for Booker.

Lmaoo not even close to thinking about the finals with how stacked the east is. It will be a massive upset if anyone beats the Suns in the west imo.

Historically, what is the winning percentage when Denver host in a second night of back to back? First of all, heck of a game offensively by both sides; it was a joy watching Jokic play as always. The Suns out executed the Nuggets down the stretch. Phoenix can force timely turnovers both last night and tonight. Not only they’re so sharp mentally, but their energy due to their youth make it even harder to beat.

You guys look great though. I think only healthy Brooklyn or maybe MIL beats you in a 7 game series.

Imagine thinking the NBA wants the officials to give the Suns wins. Almost every game, the other team shoots 2 or 3 times the FTs as the Suns, even when the Suns score more in the paint than the other team.

This game was just evenly officiated for once.

Awful take there at the end ^ Giannis is one of the few guys in the league who doesn't shoot enough FTs
