Nuggets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-25-2024

[95pro]

Westbrook is proving he’s more useful than Beal at their stages.

 

[Mainstreet]

The lane is always open for the opposition.

 

[95pro]

Durant blocks. Nurk just stands there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 58 - Nuggets 56

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns middle is Marshmello and the opposition knows it. They are always going to use that to their advantage.

Yep they run pin downs to get guys open and the lane is wide open. Just dug into our lead like nothing.

100%.

 

[Mainstreet]

Braun goes right by Durant on a rebound for the dunk.

 

[Mainstreet]

No interior defense by the Suns.

 

[Dback Jon]

Jokic got away with goffensive basket interference

 

[Mainstreet]

Gordon says take that Nurkic.

 

[BirdGangThing]

.beal playing some quality basketball tonight

 

[Dback Jon]

Durant wit lazy passes

 

[Hoop Head]

Anyone else feel like Denver hasn't really tried so far? Like they're toying with us. They haven't begun to turn it on. Meanwhile the Suns are having to play at 110% to maintain a 1-2 possession lead.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's striking the Suns don't have an inside presence on offense. It's not the just defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant is going to shoot mostly mid-range shots and Nurkic is not really a scoring threat inside.

 

[Mainstreet]

Actually, Tyus Jones might be the Suns best threat to score inside.

 

[Dback Jon]

So why doesn’t Durant get the foul but Murray does?

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are relegated to taking 3-point shots but they have quit falling.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 85 - Nuggets 78

 

[BirdGangThing]

good third quarter - a rarity for this suns team

 

[95pro]

Missing a lot of threes but the role players are showing energy.

 

[Mainstreet]

I was wondering if Plumlee would show some sign of life.

No. Suns are playing with more energy and are controlling the tempo. Nuggets a bit out of sorts in the third. No AG as well. Nuggets will adjust in the 4th.
