Nuggets @ Suns Monday Playoff game thread 6-7-2021 - Game 1

Maybe try playing Ayton and Saric at the same time. Force Gordon to have to play inside instead of on Booker.

Saric isn’t enough of a threat to keep Gordon parked. They can put poster in saric.

 

[Chaplin]

You’re the second person to state that. Weird, he’s been known as a good defender for years. It’s his underdeveloped offense that’s been the reason he isn’t a star.

Wasn’t his defense the main reason people here didn’t want to acquire him over the past couple years?

I wanna see Book attack the basket. His advantage against Gordon is quickness

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Paul no assists this half

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wasn’t his defense the main reason people here didn’t want to acquire him over the past couple years?

yup.

 

[Dback Jon]

Why was that not a push off on Gordon

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Wasn’t his defense the main reason people here didn’t want to acquire him over the past couple years?

I don’t recall that. I thought it was because he was in love with his 3 ball and didn’t shoot it well.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Come on Ayton...

 

[Finito]

You’re the second person to state that. Weird, he’s been known as a good defender for years. It’s his underdeveloped offense that’s been the reason he isn’t a star.

I’m saying he’s playing lockdown all NBA type defense tonight. He’s killing Booker

 

[Raindog]

Saric isn’t enough of a threat to keep Gordon parked. They can put poster in saric.

If Saric can hit a few, they would force Denver's hand. Ideally, we should have someone better to play at the 4, but the Suns blew that in the off-season.

 

[itlnsunsfan]

Great D by Auton on Jokic. I wanna see aggressive D and O the rest of the way

 

[Mainstreet]

No steal. Ayton bobbled it.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

There’s Ayton’s hands. That was an easy pass too

 

[dscher]

Big dummies...lol

 

[Dback Jon]

Ayton!

 

[Cheesebeef]

PURE GRIT

 

[Raindog]

Uggh, Ayton.

 

[Finito]

Suns completely seem out of it but it’s a 1 point game

 

[itlnsunsfan]

Anybody gonna defend ayton's hands there?

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes. Ayton plus 1.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

yAAAAASSSS nice finish Ayton!!!!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

FINISH QUARTER ATRONG

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Need our bench to bring it

 

[Chaplin]

Playing scrappy now.

 

[Billythekidd]

Come on baby!! Big time finish by Ayton.

 

[itlnsunsfan]

Nice dive by Ayton!
