Nuggets @ Suns Thursday game thread 4-6-2023

[Mainstreet]

They are terrified of the Suns.

I kind of find it funny. It's not gonna stop us from whipping them in the 2nd round.

The Nuggets have to be awfully confident they can turn winning on and off. It's a dangerous game. Let them play it.

 

[Hoop Head]

Did they see what happened to us last year? I know they didn't even make it out of the 1st round so they really shouldn't rest too much but then there aren't many games left. These last 2 weeks flew by.

 

[Mainstreet]

Eddie Johnson thinks Anthony Davis would be the toughest matchup for the Suns in the playoffs.

Tom Chambers thinks it is Stephen Curry.

Update: TJ Warren is out for the Suns reportedly for illness.

Uh oh. Mysterious 4 month illness coming?

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off.

And it begins

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant sinks a three to get the Suns on the scoreboard as they trail 4-3.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't like the way the Nuggets are getting inside and being more physical than the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns leading 10-7.

 

[Mainstreet]

And it begins

Could the Suns be toying with the idea of activating Saban Lee for the playoffs?

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne gets to the basket in a split second.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker is 0-4 early.

 

[Finito]

Sloppy

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker needed that layup to go to get his rhythm.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker hits that three.

 

[Finito]

This Suns team scares me

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 27 - Nuggets 25

 

[Mainstreet]

This Suns team scares me

Sometimes they are there. Sometimes they aren't.

 

[Cheesebeef]

We need to bench Ayton. Not because he’s playing poorly, but because he’s actually playing well.

We usually get four great stretches of Ayton a year, each one like 7-10 games long before he becomes maddening again. Don’t use up some of that streak on these meaningless games… we need that for the first round!

 

[AzStevenCal]

Uh oh. Mysterious 4 month illness coming?

Maybe but I think I'd prefer that to another possibility that jumps out at me.

 

[Mainstreet]

I wish the Suns had a point guard like Reggie Jackson.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant and Craig look solid early. I'm still waiting for the rest to get going.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I wish the Suns had a point guard like Reggie Jackson.

Yeah… he would have been a great piece to add in the buyout market. Looks like we got the short end of the stick there, and if Ross was valued over guys like Jackson, it’s just one more reason for me to question James Jones’ player evaluation skills.

 

[Mainstreet]

Entry passes to Landale are a bit off.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Of course, just as I slag Ross he hits a nice jumper.
