Playoffs: Nuggets @ Suns Sunday game thread 5-7-2023 - Game 4

[Mainstreet]

Denver's coach blaming the team for bad defense when he is making the decision to double the ball.

We know what happened to Amare and Diaw and they didn't touch a fan.

 

[Hoop Head]

So glad we got this W. So much to be happy with. Mainly got to give Shamet his props. Big game, finally. Hope he can deliver even 1/3 of that in game 5.

BTW Jokic should be suspended, he won't be, but that shove on Ishbia was ridiculous. I highly doubt he knew that was the owner. Seemed really weird. Suns definitely are in his head.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Remember how much we hated Point Book? The coaches that put that onus on him really helped get Booker to where he is now.

 

[ajcardfan]

Look Jokic had no business going for that ball when a player was down in the stands.

Will they suspend him for game 5?

 

[FB94]

Ayton with the most impactful 8 points and 8 rebounds I can remember

Better than his 4 point 4 foul game last time

Zero care about his stats. If he provides some defense against joker along with landale he will be what he needs to be. We've established what will win this series... KD and Book.

 

[TJ]

Will they suspend him for game 5?

Should they? Yes. Will they? No.

 

[Covert Rain]

Don't forget Ishba forcing Jokic into a T. Possible suspension?

THE NBA DOESN’T HAVE THE BALLS.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton came to play tonight. I give him credit for coming back strong after an off game.

Let's face it, he couldn't touch Jokic.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

I would be fine with one-game suspensions for both Ishbia and the Joker.

 

[ajcardfan]

Should they? Yes. Will they? No.

I agree. Maybe they will fine him.

 

[Finito]

Remember how much we hated Point Book? The coaches that put that onus on him really helped get Booker to where he is now.

He’s really evolved. Bookers game has jumped every year he’s been in the league. This kid is legitimately great. He’s the best Suns player I’ve ever seen

 

[dscher]

I have to hand it Ishbia. Holding the ball was a smart play.

Also want nothing to do with handing the suns some freebie with suspending joker.. that hold should taken into account if they are thinking about it. This team got a free ride last series. No need for another.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker had 36 points and 12 ASSISTS.

 

[ajcardfan]

Zero care about his stats. If he provides some defense against joker along with landale he will be what he needs to be. We've established what will win this series... KD and Book.

Actually we have established the two of them aren't quite enough.

 

[Finito]

You cannot start CP3 if he comes back.

The pace is night and day. I’d really like to see him lead that second unit

 

[JosiahLee]

Just looked up a Booker stat…through 9 playoff games he is shooting over 61%. That’s incredible efficiency.

 

[Evil Ash]

Will they suspend him for game 5?

That play is adam silvers worst nightmare. They are about to set a new standard with player and fan interaction.

Will they suspend for game 5? I doubt it but silver suddenly has a big problem on his hands

 

[AZ Native]

There’s literally a referendum on players hitting fans and literally Jokic hits the owner of the Suns. BS

It's called assault.

 

[Evil Ash]

Just looked up a Booker stat…through 9 playoff games he is shooting over 61%. That’s incredible efficiency.

The last 2 games he shot just under 80% from the field. He's a cyborg from the future

 

[dscher]

Ayton came to play tonight. I give him credit for coming back strong after an off game.

Let's face it, he couldn't touch Jokic.

I wouldn't say came to play. Lol. He showed up. That's better than the first 2 games.

 

[BirdGangThing]

That'll be the best game we see from Jokic in this series. I'm hoping we turned a corner tonight and keep this high pace and intensity. Not nearly the run and gun of old but more of a keep the pressure on and never let up

 

[Mainstreet]

You cannot start CP3 if he comes back.

The pace is night and day. I’d really like to see him lead that second unit

I don't think Paul will be ready to start when he does come back.

 

[JosiahLee]

Will they suspend for game 5? I doubt it but silver suddenly has a big problem on his hands

What does the rules say about this? I know they suspended Amare and Boris bc of the rule that they couldn’t step foot on the court.

Is there a suspension rule for physically touching a fan?
