Nuggets @ Suns Monday game thread 12-23-19

[Mainstreet]

Rubio is like, I can win this game.

 

[cwamjn]

Ugh I'm getting nervous. I want this win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ugh I'm getting nervous. I want this win.

Need a biting nails smilie.

 

[cwamjn]

Hopefully Baynes can play D here, looks like Jokic is going to get it every possession

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need to execute.

 

[cwamjn]

Suns need to execute.

We've had some poor possessions down the stretch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have had their chances but couldn't execute.

 

[cwamjn]

Book ties it! Great inbound play

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the 3 pointer to tie game.

 

[Lefty]

Crazy game.

 

[Mainstreet]

We've had some poor possessions down the stretch.

For sure. Suns have had their chances.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Nuggets 113 - Suns 111

 

[Phrazbit]

That sub swap with about 4 or 5 minutes left, taking out a lineup that had been on fire and had built a nice lead was a really really bad decision.

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Dang

 

[ProdigalSun]

Sigh ... almost an amazing Christmas gift with Cards and Suns win

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are snakebit. Tough loss.

 

[GatorAZ]

Has Booker ever outplayed Murray?

 

[Mainstreet]

Sigh ... almost an amazing Christmas gift with Cards and Suns win

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[cwamjn]

Drats. Hats off to Denver. Jokic is a beast, a great move by Murray then a great D sub on Book.

 

[TJ]

Choke job. Book cant have 11 points and expect for us to win.

 

[BC867]

Exciting game. It was fun to see the Suns hang in there as long as they did.

They need to think outside the box and find a way to get Book in shooting
position despite being constantly double teamed. It has been going on all
season.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Has Booker ever outplayed Murray?

Nope. Murray is better.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

How many final shots has book had blocked? Seems like it’s every time they need a final shot he gets his ish packed. That sucked. This team just isn’t clutch.

 

[Proximo]

Well this is the best the team has played in weeks.

But we just could not execute offensively when we needed to.

finally monte went back to the carter bridges combo and they got us back in the game.

hopefully they continue to play like this.

 

[BC867]

The best way to reduce Booker being neutralized when constantly double teamed
is to have Ayton on the court, somewhere on the court, as a 20 ppg scorer.

Does he have any goal beyond being the #1 pick?

That's not the end, Deandre. It is only the beginning.

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns had executed down the stretch they would have won.... simple as that.
