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

[Hoop Head]

That's crazy, 4 starters with 20+ points

 

[Dback Jon]

Up 18 with a minute

 

[JCSunsfan]

This is how they won most of their games in the regular season. Step on the gas in the second half. Depth.

 

[Dback Jon]

That’s all DA.

That’s what I was thinking

 

[Chaplin]

This ain’t a dream, we are actually this good.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Sweet.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s all DA.

[Finito]

You know what made me smile more than anything watching this.

watching the kids in the crowd go ape sh#t they’ve been showing fans all night and it’s like oh they’ve never seen this. Suns playoff basketball is totally new for these kids

 

[Dback Jon]

Yesssss

 

[dscher]

Man...how tired did Jokic look in the second half!? That was pleasant... He'll bounce back...but I'll take it.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns starting FIVE was HUGE.

 

[82CardsGrad]

This game is the best testament to what James Jones has done. Drafting and huge FA pickups, capped by snagging Monty Williams.
Just a tremendous job!

 

[mjb21aztd]

Awesome night this team is special!!! Paul is just Unfair lol with book epic gm!!!

Gj suns!!!

 

[JCSunsfan]

Ayton shoots 69%. Jokic 45%.

 

[Covert Rain]

Ayton again game one. He was huge against Jokic. Paul was huge. Bridges was huge. Ayton made some mistakes but once again anchored game one.

Agreed. Awesome for the young guys on the team to see and hear the support Phoenix can generate.

Ayton again game one. He was huge against Jokic. Paul was huge. Bridges was hige. Ayton made some mistakes but once again anchored game one.

Yup. Awesome game by Ayton.

 

[Raindog]

4 gm sweep by nuggets my ass lol

Did someone really call that?

 

[AZ Native]

Man, it seemed they were making ever 3 and we were missing every 3 to start the game. But what a finish!!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Bong hits? I mean not for me but for those who like it

 

[Luciano]

Agreed. Awesome for the young guys on the team to see and hear the support Phoenix can generate.

Was the arena at full capacity or close to it ? Looked and felt good !

 

[Mainstreet]

It felt like Denver gave us their best punch and we said what was that.

 

[Raindog]

So the big takeaway for me is that the Suns played pretty flat for most of three quarters and then turned it up at the end like killers.

And Denver played pretty much as good as they possibly can, as far as I could see. It's going to be tough for them unless Phoenix does something to kill themselves.
