    I doubt we hear anything until game day.

    Playoffs: Nuggets @ Suns Friday game thread 5-5-2023 - Game 3

    If anyone is interested (not sure why you would be), Zach Lowe talked to Tim Bontemps about the series. Bontemps takes a premature victory lap claiming that he knew from the start that the Durant trade wouldn't work out for the Suns this season. Would love to see the Suns prove this dork wrong...

    Durant's scoring is inflated because of his increased minutes. He ranks 14th in the playoffs with 23 points per 36 minutes. Booker is 3rd with 29.7. https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_2023_per_minute.html

    It's crazy that Saben Lee isn't on the playoff roster. He was so valuable in helping the team turn things around right before Booker came back.

    I don't think its fair to criticize monty williams' rotations last night. The Suns focus was clearly on fixing the defense and I thought they did a great job. They wanted to force Jokic to beat them. He shot pretty well, didn't get to the free throw line and only had 5 assists. I'd say their...

    The Ayton Plan

    Because Ayton isn't good and would make Dallas worse.

    hypothetical with Hawks

    I'd rather see the Suns trade Ayton for Tyus Jones than Trae Young.

    Ya, but Leonard is much bigger than Okogie. I assume that is why the Suns opted to start Craig in against the Clippers and assumed that Okogie would be a better matchup against the smaller Murray.

    Jamal Murray shot 3/10 when defended by Booker, Ayton and Craig combined. He shot 10/12 when guarded by Okogie, Durant, Paul and Shamet. I was surprised how bad Okogie looked against Murray. They might want to try Booker against him.

    I think the rich fans weren't around in 2021, but they're back now.

    I never had a problem going up to flagstaff to play basketball when I was in high school. I assumed it was because I was young and in pretty good shape. Or maybe I wasn't playing hard enough.

    I just re-watched the third quarter, I highly recommend it. This team's ceiling is very high. I think they can win the championship.

    They were trying to run out the clock with 5 minutes left in the game. Just a completely idiotic strategy. If Monty didn't explicitly tell them to do that then he should have at least told them to stop.

    This has been a problem in the playoffs since Paul got to the Suns. They run this garbage offense at the end of games where they have no chance at getting a good shot. I wonder if Durant was just saving energy in the 4th quarter. Maybe he can't play 40+ minutes if he's involved in the offense...

    There's a lot of U of A fans who are completely irrational about him too.

    Watching the Twins succeed from afar.....

    I mostly agree with you. Although I've been arguing that he lacks "skill", but I think that what I call skill is something like hand-eye coordination that one could reasonably classify as athleticism. All of decision making is too slow.

    No, the Suns looked terrible at the start of the game.

    No I meant Duncan Robinson on the bench, as in he sucks so bad that he'd never play which would be better than Shamet playing.

    I'd rather see Duncan Robinson on the bench than Shamet on the court.

    Yes, sorry. "Monty isn't a playoff coach" is an imprecise way of saying that "Monty isn't a good playoff coach", and I was being pedantic.

    The "what went wrong" thread. Darksiders come on in.

    The Pelicans had the same roster this year and were still in the play-in.

    He is a playoff coach right now.
