Season Opener: Nuggets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 10-20-2021

[Hoop Head]

Yay Suns game! Knicks beat the Celtics in double OT, finally.

 

[Hoop Head]

Paul is getting it going.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nader getting a lot of playing time.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Man we can't seem to draw a foul call on obvious contact. I'll bet the Nuggets fans are saying the same thing though, we've fouled several times without calls too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet with another three. No wonder the Suns paid him.

It's nice to see that we've been allowed to play physical defense. The reputation is solidified at this point so it should work in our favor.

The Knicks/Celtics game was free flowing also. Maybe the rule changes helped some, as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Deandre for a three!!!

 

[TJ]

Need Ayton to do that dance like Travis Kelce where he pretends to crack open the safe and throw a bunch of money everywhere

 

[Cheesebeef]

Suns starting to bring the heat!

 

[Chaplin]

Defense much better now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are going to wear teams out with depth and defense.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is starting to look a lot like our playoff games against Denver.

 

[SirStefan32]

I missed the first quarter, but the defense looks good in the second. Looks like the second unit did a pretty good job too.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Team effort on defense. DA being aggressive. Book making the right reads and not forcing it. I like that CP3 is getting rest with Shamet being able to play another guard spot.

 

[Chaplin]

This is looking like a more well rounded team than last years. Imagine what it would be if we had Dario too. Too many weapons.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are rolling.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This team is going to kick a lot of teams asses this season.

 

[Chaplin]

This is how the Finals runner up should be playing.

This team is going to kick a lot of teams asses this season.

And it’s looking effortless. It’s pretty basketball.

And it’s looking effortless. It’s pretty basketball.

I think we also OWN this Murray-less Nuggets squad.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mikal hits the three. His first. He has 5 points.

 

[SirStefan32]

Nice to see Bridges knock one down!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with the dive to basket.

 

[Beaver]

DA seems more confident. He likes playing Jokic.

There is mutual respect.
