Jokic has to rest now but that may not be a bad thing because he couldn’t hit anything for that last stretch and he was settling for too many jumpers.

Not to criticize the coach but it looked like Jokic needed a break. Seemed to me Millsap might have been a good option off the bench.

As it was Phoenix ran the starters for Denver into the ground.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

The lack of offball motion is killing Denvers offense. I blame Malone for that.

This Suns team is why you can't really judge draft picks until year 3-4. Gives me hope as a Cavs fan lol

Think we saw some of Denver's warts come out in that quarter, get a couple of bodies on Joker and the offense devolves into a few too many contested MPJ 3's and Gordon iso's

This game is over. There is no way Denver comes back from 15 points down. Phoenix looks awesome

Is it just me or does Reggie Miller constantly say the most random, irrelevant stuff?

To end the 3rd the Suns are on fire, Jokic is out of gas and not playing well, and going into commercial he emphasizes "the recovery" on Jokic's block of the last second desperation drive of Cam Payne. Not "the Suns are on a run, the momentum has shifted, Jokic looking overwhelmed, one quarter to turn it around."

The guy has no idea about context, he just says whatever comes into his mind, and a lot of it is dumb.

He's really let loose so far.

MPJ is a talented scorer, but man can he be frustrating to watch sometimes. Dude never passes and he falls way to in love with these tough shots. Not every time you touch the back you gotta put up a shot man.

He has zero feel for the game.

He just chucks away and his defense is non-existent.

Zeno wrote:This whole ‘let Jokic get his’ strategy will collapse in any game Ayton gets in foul trouble. Portland pulled off the strategy for 1 game. Ayton is better than Nurkic but he be in foul trouble in a few of these games.

It will work until Ayton gets hit those calls but it may help Phoenix lock up these first two home games. It seems to have done the trick tonight, but I would not rely on it in a game 7.

Nice work, Suns. Looks like Game 1 is a wrap.
Luka won the trade & Nico got fired
