Pretty sad, because it’s true so far. Was that way last game too

Monty must have told Paul the last two games to forget about assists and focus more on scoring. Paul has 3 assists in 47 min since the Spurs game.

Working on the offense. That's pretty much all they're going to do. Good to get him into rhythm when he'll get a ton of those in the playoffs.

Oh! Thank god Okogie managed to escape an injury after that missed dunk. My heart almost sank seeing him land.

Tight game against the #1 seed. I feel pretty good about a playoff matchup but I guess anything can happen. Hopefully we can tie up the season series here, having taken the last two and pull away down the stretch.

Teams will be focused on taking away his bread and butter “ mid range shots” so Paul needs to be on point shooting threes and hitting a nice clip. Our entire playoffs rests on what Paul can/will do in the postseason. We know what KD & Book will provide, Ayton will come prepared like in 21..

I think CP3s been shooting better from 3 than he has with that middy almost all season.

Welcome back! Were you watching the D-Backs this whole time and forgot about the Suns game?

Booker has been awful. Body language looks way too, too. Sit these guys, Monty.

Should trade Booker in summer. Just outplayed him by Bruce Bowen.

Didn’t the Suns half-ass the last few regular season games of last season too? And then the half-assing continued against a depleted Pelicans team that we squeaked by before getting trashed by the Mavs next round…

If Booker/Ayton/KD all didn’t wanna play tonight, they should have told Monty that and I’m pretty sure he would’ve just sat them like Denver’s doing with their starters.

Maybe just me but half-assing it and getting out-worked is not helping develop any sort of chemistry or team morale between the players.

Any Hockey fans here? What Bruins have been doing all season is pretty spectacular. They’re only 3 points away from tying Montreal Canadians 76-77 for most points by NHL team in a season.

Booker for Markkanen and Kessler. Then Ayton for Siakam.

Damn! Can’t believe Bruce Bowen still playing from his Spurs days. Dude is an excellent defender no wonder Book currently shooting 1-10.

No, the starters just sat for like... the last 5 or 6 games and then had another week off for the play-ins. It was different.

This isn’t the #1 seed Nuggets, this is their JV team. Jokic/Murray/Gordon and many others are not playing for Denver.

They removed lazy players like Kessel and Seguin.

You’re asking for too many trades at this point. I’m not saying it won’t work but chemistry is a real thing too and will take us 2-3 seasons to probably make the finals again. I’m too old to wait that long if corona doesn’t take my life this week something else might.

No, been watching. Just don't get into game threads as much as I used to.

True, that was helpful. Thoughts on Connor McDavid? That kids a stud IMO.

I know. It was kind of a joke...our two wins (if we win) will be against their JV squads. However, we did play them close earlier in the year and went into OT when Cam Johnson was out and Book went out with that injury after 4 minutes...Paul had 16 ast (though he didn't shoot well) and Ayton had 22 and 16. Interestingly enough, Shamet also had 31 pts and 6 ast. He played a lot better with our starters. Probably wide open a lot more.
