If this ends tonight would anybody consider that Durant trade a failure?

LOL no.

I know it's hard to believe because everyone always expects Denver to lose but they're a top team and have been all year.

Plus you can't just change an entire team's makeup mid season, lose two starters during the playoffs, and expect not to suffer.

They'll be back next year.

LBJ next and Curry soon.

we need a reporter to ask him if it's a failure to see his response and how tnt reacts to it.

Malone sounds sick.

Anyone that flames Booker in the slightest is either a moron or doesn't actually watch basketball.

Not much more the guy can do

I think the national media and casual will give PHX a pass especially since Paul and then Ayton also were unavailable but my fear is that in doing so they will give no credit to Denver on any level because of the injuries. Yes, the Paul injury was significant but at this point you just have to factor Paul getting injured every post season you can't just discount any team that beats his.

Phoenix is having to work hard as hell to get shots

Denver is getting easy shots

Consider that.

Just switch their situations completely right now. Switch how they are preforming and how their teams are doing and their impact on the game. The media and people on this site would be pounding their chests about Embiid. But they quite when Jokic is killing like he always does in the playoffs. Fun fact the last 2 playoff runs he had a healthy roster he has been to the 3rd round. Embiid has never been.

Remember Bruce Brown is Russell Westbrook x Kyrie Irving x Gary Payton II, fam

Kd looks done. What happened to him?

HotRocks34 · Post #1174 » by **HotRocks34** » Fri May 12, 2023 2:55 am

If Braun is taking your team to the rack off the dribble, you're in bad shape

Why are these two teams like this? You see smatterings of defense, but both teams just run and gun and turn it over it ike crazy. Braun even picks up Booker in the back court but lets him blow by him twice.

The Warriors winning that series is the last thing Denver wants to see.

jokeboy86 · Post #1178 » by **jokeboy86** » Fri May 12, 2023 2:55 am

Modern NBA for you that's awful. They just blew a 4 on 1 fast break. Awful!

Exp0sed · Post #1179 » by **Exp0sed** » Fri May 12, 2023 2:56 am

the Jeff Green special...
fumbling a rebound out of bounds and fumbling an open dunk

good job Malone!

Wolfgang630 · Post #1180 » by **Wolfgang630** » Fri May 12, 2023 2:56 am

Malone is an idiot. He will not stop playing Jeff Green

Who wins?
