Nuggets @ Suns Monday Playoff game thread 6-7-2021 - Game 1

[Vacard]

I’m not sure if that’s a good thing?

Tightness = pain and stiffness

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We went on a 34-9 run tonight

It is a good thing when you shoot the ball like that in the 4th qtr.

Chris Paul looked like the old Chris Paul so I will take it.

Chris Paul looked like the old Chris Paul so I will take it.

Good that it loosens up

Bad that it has to loosen up

 

[Mainstreet]

Deandre Ayton with 20 points, 10 rebounds and a steal.

 

[Dr dumas]

That's crazy, 4 starters with 20+ points

And the Suns looked like poo for three quarters. If a few guys can get hit early, this series should be done in 5!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Valley has been STARVING for this.

and people in GENERAL have been starving to scream and yell... FOR GOOD REASONS for over a year.

Monty gives Ayton credit for getting spacing right.


Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Monty Williams credited Deandre Ayton for part of the offensive success in terms of getting the right spacing. You saw how often that guy in the corner was open because of the help trying to contain Ayton's dive.

So much fun.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul liked the energy from crowd.

Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Chris Paul said "this crowd is crazy." Said there's nothing like this energy and told the team that's why they played so hard for homecourt.

Valley has been STARVING for this.

Tell me about it. I have been a Suns fan since I was 17 and I will be 70 this year. Suddenly, now I'm depressed.

 

[Mainstreet]

Keep telling Mikal to shoot.

Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Chris Paul with a smile said him and Mikal Bridges are like brothers because they can say just about anything to each other. He kept emphasizing to Bridges to shoot.

Deandre gives the Suns coverages for helping to defend Jokic.

Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Deandre Ayton credited the Suns' coverages for the success defending Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets as a whole. Said that run that closed out the game was just grinding and running.

@KellanOlson

Deandre Ayton on hearing Nikola Jokic said that Ayton gave him problems: "Wow he said that? That's lit." Said he loves playing against Jokic and that's the MVP of the league.

Mikal and Ayton get the game balls tonight. Ayton outplayed the MVP and Mikal was the one who kept us close through two with steals and a couple threes and really turned the tide in the third.

Awesome to see the young guys not shrink in the moment, but actually STEP UP in it.

 

[Mainstreet]

I didn't realize Jokic went scoreless in the 4th quarter. More credit for Deandre.

Duane Rankin
@DuaneRankin

Nikola Jokic scored a team-high 22 points, but took 23 shots from the field.. His last bucket came with 1:54 left in the third quarter. He went scoreless in the 4th on just two shot attempts. #Suns #NBAPlayoffs #Nuggets

Deandre says it was the loudest game ever in which he played and he stepped up big time.

Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Deandre Ayton said tonight's win was the loudest game he's ever been a part of.

Mikal and Ayton get the game balls tonight.

And Paul shooting 7-7 in the fourth or whatever it was.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Why are dick pills a commerical on national TV

Some people are not fans of the Suns.

 

[Cheesebeef]

And Paul shooting 7-7 in the fourth or whatever it was.

that didn’t hurt.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Wasn't his back the reason he slipped in the draft?
