To be honest I’m not feeling this game but that’s why we play a full 48 minutes and see what happens. I’m sure the Nuggets don’t want to risk a game 7 so they will try putting us away in the first half. If Booker + KD combine for 75+ points we might stand a chance if not like Barkley says “ the suns are going fishing”.

I would love to see CP3 back in the lineup.

Probably should have been obvious that odds were against us when we were skating by at home while Booker was doing his best MJ impression and Murray/MPJ were playing poorly.

Let's hope the role players bring it again at home and we can keep this interesting. Anything can happen if we make it to Game 7, going to Denver will make it tough to come out with a win though.

If we needed anymore proof DA is soft. I bet his agent is in his ear as well telling him not to risk anything since he's likely otw out.

God I cannot wait until they have turned the page on him.

Moving will be the best move for everyone involved. Very depressing that our first ever #1 pick ends up this way. But it absolutely is time to move on separately! I just hope that we're shrewd enough to get a good deal back and recoup some of the depth and assets lost in the Durant trade!

Even if Suns lose I want to see a monster 40+ game from Durant on excellent efficiency.

"Rib contusion" is just slang for "Can't find his balls."

Genuinely would love if he didn't play, just give Biz his minutes and if he does play I would still gives Biz minutes along with Joc. Those two play with heart

We need to play a physical game since the tip-off, refs usually allow to the home team to play with some more aggression and we need to take advantage of that.

Book + KD needs to score over 70 again and we can win this **** 6th game.

We know that everything can happen in a 7th game.

We don't need to stop him to win the game. Just look his numbers in our two wins.

You "stop" him by making him work on both ends, but he doesn't really mind taking things easy on defense. We don't really have a way to push that advantage because we can't really trust DA to make good decisions when he gets collapsed on.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Is KD going to show up in this one? Back against the wall. Would nice for Book to not have to win it all by himself.

Return to Phoenix Suns
