It was a weird sequence. They didn't see the foul (because there wasn't one), but if there was one, Jokic was the only guys making any conact with Shamet. So they just called a blind foul and then decided they didn't want to give a blind foul to Jokic so they just picked the next closest guy. Definitely a messy bit of officiating.

Gordon garbage. You’re supposed to step up at home or pass the ball if you’re going to scrub it up tonight

If Gordon doesn’t get the ball in the post he is useless with his back to the basket.

Booker is playing like a god, obviously he is the reason they are back in the game, for the most part. But pretending that the Suns aren't getting an insane amount of bad calls their way makes you look like nothing but a homer.

Booker gets away with a lot of off-arm action. Usually they call it if you extend past the 'chicken wing' elbow swipe but he just swings that off-arm like mad.

Malone needs to play Jackson or even Ish. Denver need other playmakers besides Jokic.

Touch? half of his misses were fouls. Now his turnovers were sloppy and he needs to rebound better.

Feels like PHX is gonna win this one. Idk. KD’s not even playing well and they’re right there, despite Denver’s hot start. Feel like it’s theirs to steal. Denver’s offense struggles down the stretch of close games. We’ll see.
