Playoffs: Suns @ Nuggets Tuesday game thread 5-9-2023 - Game 5

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Durant can't suck like this

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Damn KD looking glued to the court

 

[Covert Rain]

Everything from Durant is hitting the front of the rim. That usually means tired legs. The teams looks sooo slow on defense too.

 

[JosiahLee]

Call another timeout

 

[jf-08]

Hopefully this will get Durant on a roll

 

[JosiahLee]

Welcome to the game KD

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

And disaster

 

[Covert Rain]

Noooooooooooo. Book hurt his ankle.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

KD finally wakes up with a block and jump shot with only seconds left in the 1st quarter

 

[nashman]

Oh for ***** sake seriously

 

[jf-08]

And disaster

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Haha Murray u suck

 

[Covert Rain]

Denver on pace to score 140. No defense.

 

[JosiahLee]

At least we closed the quarter strong

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Not too bad all considered. We would be right there with them with a better start from Durant.

 

[Proteus]

Do our guys other than Booker know that there's a game going on tonight?

 

[95pro]

I’m pulling the ref card. A lot of bad calls back and forth. Just ruined the flow of the game compared to the other games.

Then eventually they just let the nuggets do whatever they want.

 

[JosiahLee]

Denver is doing exactly what we didn’t want, getting all the role players hot. Jokic & Murray only have a combined 7 points.

Time to raise the energy and switch in the pick n roll, no more open threes.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

If I would've known it was gonna be this kind of night I would've put my **** in the mashed potatoes

 

[95pro]

I feel we need to keep rotating through Payne and Okogie to keep pace and energy up.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

They're definitely doubling Booker and KD definitely needs to make them pay

 

[95pro]

What a weird foul on Payne there.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Durant just terrible

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Good defense by Sham, can't believe we're only down by 11, make that 14

 

[jf-08]

There it is. Attack the basket KD.
