Denver on pace for 146. That’s how bad the Suns are playing. We have no shot if we don’t play defense.

Just don’t have the fire right now. Not physical at all looking slow.

Yikes, one of the worst ref’d games I’ve seen this year. But it’s not all on them. Booker can fight through a double team this half and the bench has disappeared once again.

The nuggets have hit 7 more 3-point shots than the Suns. This doesn't help.

If the Suns don’t close strong in the 3rd it’s already over. You can’t give up that many points through 3 quarters and win.

Mentally, weak coach
Agree, Monty is unable to scheme/adjust in order to slow Denver down or get his guys in rhythm. Again it’s hard when the refs are calling the game the way they are and virtually zero bench support again.

Guy tried to sell me a (likely stolen) watch at the gas pump a little while back

I said "I don't need a watch I have a phone"

He said "But there's still time"
