Playoffs: Suns @ Nuggets Saturday game thread 4-29-2023- Game 1

[BirdGangThing]

May not feel like it but Suns are keeping up with KD taking a breather on the bench

 

[Mainstreet]

Nuggets are beating the Suns to rebounds.

 

[Treesquid PhD]

Shamet is an issue.

 

[nashman]

Phantom fouls helping Denver so far…

 

[Mainstreet]

Anyone see Payne on the bench?

 

[Finito]

Oh god apparently KCP got shot

 

[Finito]

Anyone see Payne on the bench?

Something gotta be going on

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Without even addressing defensive woes, not sure how this offense is going to beat an elite defense over 7 games. Too predictable and not enough 3’s

 

[Mainstreet]

No second chance points for the Suns.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is NOT an offense.

And we play terrible defense.

 

[Finito]

Gordon has been huge for them

What offense? There literally is no offensive flow whatsoever.

 

[dscher]

Suns want to feed Ayton especially with Jokic out.

I would agree with someone who can create their own shot or take advantage of the disadvantage. It's not him.

Yep.

Realistically they’re not.

We don’t get enough at the rim and we don’t shoot 3s

 

[nashman]

Lol they are playing out their asses right now Gordon isn’t a 100% shooter. Just keep playin they can’t hit everything…

 

[Proximo]

We are not slowing them down at all.

I don’t like the look of this.

 

[Finito]

Was Payne out tonight?

 

[Mainstreet]

Gordon has been huge for them

He is definitely a problem.

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns not playing any defense so far. No easy transition buckets when Booker goes to bench. They better figure this out quickly.

 

[JosiahLee]

Too much rest there for Durant. Book is getting shut down defensively. KD is going to need to drop 40 plus for a W.

 

[Mainstreet]

Was Payne out tonight?

I didn't see it.

 

[95pro]

8 point lead with Jokic out

 

[Treesquid PhD]

Not good, weather it.

 

[Cheesebeef]

It’s amazing to me that there is literally no offensive flow.

And our lack of 3 point shooting is just galling for today’s day and age.

 

[Mainstreet]

Phoenix not competing on the boards.
