Nuggets @ Suns Thursday game thread 4-6-2023

[Mainstreet]

Ross hits that three.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah… this Nuggets team is terrified of us.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nuggets simply taking it to the basket lead 45-42.

 

[Finito]

WTF

 

[Mainstreet]

Something is wrong with the Suns defense when they allow easy drives to the basket.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I really hate that Monty talked about possibly resting these guys. It lends an air of this team has arrived and doesn’t need to keep playing hard when the reality is they haven’t accomplished jack squat and to do so with such limited time together is going to be incredibly hard.

But when the Coach already talks about calling off the dogs, it shouldn’t be a surprise that guys look like it on the court, which they absolutely do.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Jesus… Booker is awful tonight.

 

[Finito]

Booker with the air ball from 3 feet

1-8 now from the field

Luckily, Paul is looking good.

 

[Cheesebeef]

How many offensive rebounds is Ayton going to watch guys get in front of him?

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 56 - Nuggets 55

 

[Finito]

I do not see a championship this year.

It’s just not there I see no fight in this team at all. Something is off

 

[Proximo]

they are, but maybe they shouldn’t be.

we played awful.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets are outworking the Suns.

This game is completley meaningless. I think drawing any conclusion from it is a mistake.

Do you not pay attention to the rest of the league? They’ve been resting guys for like 5 or 6 games. Resting them against us is nothing special.

 

[Sunstroke]

Concerned that the injured Nuggets are hanging right with the starting lineup
of the Suns?

The Suns bench is too inconsistent.

Not the whole starting 5.

Exactly. It’s apparent that we aren’t going 100%.

 

[Mainstreet]

The thing is, the Nuggets are playing their bench players and the Suns are playing their starters.

Phoenix is supposed to be building chemistry for the playoffs.

I think the emphasis is just as much on don’t get yourself hurt.

 

[Mainstreet]

Then they shouldn't be out there. Players tend to get hurt when they are not playing all out.

 

[Finito]

This team has looked way to up and down all year. This isn’t new.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul looks like he came to play.
