[GatorAZ]

Great close to the half. Suns somehow shooting 54/50/100.

 

[Proximo]

Nice run.

Gotta admit nurk has looked real good tonight.

Nurkic defending the rim. we supposedly don't have ANY rim protectors...

Those blocks were huge and got the Suns back in the game when the Nuggets could have blown the game open.

 

[Phrazbit]

Great run to end the half.

They gotta figure something out defensively, Nurk had a couple blocks but the nugs have been feasting on him and Eubanks on screens all game.

Every screen seems to lead to a scramble and open 3.

 

[Chaplin]

Our guards are having a real hard time with the screens.

Some halftime stats.

The Nuggets are still shooting 67.4% from the field, the Suns 54.5%.

KD should pass Carmelo Anthony and Shaq this season for ninth and eighth on the list.

They went zone a bit, and that seemed to help a little.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench only has 9 points and Okogie has 7 of them. Nuggets bench has 20 points.

 

[Chaplin]

Well our bench is in the starting lineup so…

 

[Phrazbit]

Our guards are having a real hard time with the screens.

It’s a combination. Both Allen and Gordon are bad defenders and Nurk is slow and has serious problems stopping switches and penetration.

 

[Yuma]

The Suns bench only has 9 points and Okogie has 7 of them. Nuggets bench has 20 points.

Our bench HAS to outscore their bench if we want to win. That Strawther kid was a real difference maker off the bench.

 

[Chaplin]

Goodwin is having issues too.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets don't have Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD to Nurk to start the 3rd

 

[Mainstreet]

Reggie Jackson has 17 points.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Jokic is ridiculous with the assists tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

Our bench HAS to outscore their bench if we want to win. That Strawther kid was a real difference maker off the bench.

He is a really good young player. The Nuggets know talent.

 

[Yuma]

Dribbling is a lost art in the NBA.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets are an offensive machine. The Suns need to play defense to win.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Gordon is a true testament to the keep it moving mantra

He'll make a horrible play - brick a three - whatever - then he'll come right back and knock the same shot down

Never gets gun shy like my guy 3kogie does

Constant movement will win a lot of games.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Uh oh - Jokic maybe looking to score now

 

[BirdGangThing]

Jokic scores again - right in Nurk's face
