Monty NEEDS to play Warren and Ross... he's screwing up again like he did when he wouldn't play jalen smith in the finals when we needed a big body...
Monty sucks at rotations...

Monty heard you loud and clear expect Ross and TJ to get minutes. Only took 7 games into the season to lose Paul and be down 2-0 and finally realize we need some god damn shooters on this team. I know Shamet will not have a b2b DNP so I expect 8-10 minutes from him and will be joyous if he hits a couple of threes. But that’s a big IF.

I am expecting Cam Payne to start tomorrow for the Suns in Game 3.
It looks like no Shamet in the starting lineup.

Payne/Book
Book/Ross
Okogie/Craig
KD/Warren
Ayton/Biyombo
9-man rotation. No sure about Landale over Biyombo, but I wouldn't be surprised if Landale plays with the second unit too.

I was coming to say the same.
If I was Monty, I would play Warren and Ross at least a quarter and see how they respond.
They can play together or separatedly.
Minutes with Ross at two, Booker at 1, Warren at 3, KD at 4 and Ayton at 5.
Then we can play Payne-Booker-KD-Craig-Landale.
Then KD and Booker need some resting time (separatedly) and we can play Ross again at two and later Warren at 3/4 with Craig.

I had a dream that the Phoenix Suns finally broke out of their slump and played team basketball. I had a dream that our bench performed perfectly. I had a dream that Shamet didn’t see a single minute in the playoffs. I had a dream that Booker and KD played like truly alpha superstars every single game. I had a dream that Payne finally played like it was 2021. I had a dream that Ayton dominated Jokic again putting up historic numbers. I had a dream that Monty inserted Ross, TJ and they played amazingly. I had a dream…

If Payne, Craig & Okogie can combine for 30 points the Suns should win tonight. Those three will be very important. We know what KD, Booker and even Ayton will provide but we need help from others. You can’t expect Booker & Durant to combine for 70 and expect to win. Others need to finally step up or this series will be in favor of Denver 3-0.

Was that Ayton or Beetlejuice under the rim?

Looking forward to Booker scoring 50 in the win tonight. As he's the only person on this team that can shoot and cares he should get all the shots.

Jokic really is one of most likable superstars in maybe history of the league. Guy is all class. Certainty will root for them over others if they advance.

He better score at least 130 then.

If they beat us I’ll be rooting for Them or Heat to win it all. I don’t think Denver has ever made the finals.

Shame on you for just realizing it’s not like we are down 0-3 series where that realization occurs. It’s still anyone’s ballgame and if Suns win tonight I can smell a back door sweep.

Suns fans are embarrassing. Learning to ignore the negativity. I have faith with this team and the Suns coaching staff. It will be tough but no way will I bet against them.

I think we win the next two, barring more injuries.
I agree.

Do you think we will back door sweep the Nuggets and win our first title? Our fate rests on your answer.

"Mannnnn I’m like the guy that pissed this whole board off saying literally all year no Mikal, no Mikal in the KD trade."

Right on! I’m tired of injuries been happening way too frequently. Even if we had a healthy Chris Paul it might not make a huge difference as he has been struggling in the playoffs. Let’s hope for a clean game and no Scott Foster.
