The suns continue to get beat at the three point line

Add in turnovers, and Jokic getting rebounds 14, Ayton 3

Bad second quarter

When are the suns going to compete at three point line

I know let’s substitute Bridges & CamJ for Shamet and Okogie. Two guys are hell of shooters while other two can’t hit the rim.
we traded depth, defense, shooting for stardom
substract the numbers from camjo and bridges and add durant whats left are shamets minutes

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being the result. As much as our fans enjoyed the whole "Suns in four" dude and the sweep we delivered, our comeuppance is going to be delivered in a most painful manner. If we win a game at all given how we're going about it now, I'll be shocked.

We’re just not a well constructed team while Denver is. They have right cutters, right defenders, right role players. They have a system while Suns are just top heavy 2 guys doing everything.

Nuggets are like the Suns pre-KD trade.

Let’s see what the Suns come out with in the 2nd half. I anticipate Denver driving more as the Suns defend the 3-point line better. However I still feel like the Nuggets hit maybe 3 to 4 threes that were just lucky meanwhile Suns were ice cold. The offense should fix itself. Maybe should insert better 3 point shooters in Ross.

Ayton gets the board in deep and can go straight up but what does he do? Runs out.

Look at Nuggets actually having a coach that calls timeouts in correct fashion.

Just kill them softly. Third quarter is our quarter we should dominate and defend. I’m sure Paul and Booker yelled at the entire team to f—- play some defense and maybe we come back. It starts with D and ends with O.

Good start! Love how Jokic can just blatantly reach in on Ayton but there will never be a call there.

Ayton didn't need to pull off Jokic to double the ballhandler... yet he did anyway and gave Jokic a bunny. Dude has ZERO basketball IQ.
