Every Suns starter in double figures scoring.

WOW! Another amazing game. Crowd showed up again. We had a Dario sighting. An almost fight.

I had a blast, it was like watching an old school Globetrotters game. Just a straight up masterclass.

Was a point when I think Porter and a teammate fell in a heap on top of each other the whole stadium laughed.

We got something special here boys.

Just got home from the game. The crowd was electric..

Thanks for representing! I would love to get back to exciting home games again....so cool to see and hear on TV alone.

I love how grounded Booker is in these postgame pressers.

Great win.

Nuggets need to sit Scarpacci.
Insert McGee

But I’m happy with them jacking up 3 after 3 lol

coach calling them out but no changes to the game plan

 

[Mainstreet]

I so like this comment by Devin Booker about the Suns defense.

Devin Booker said the Suns' defense is contagious and said you'll stick out like a sore thumb if you're not bringing it on that end.

Cool as a Cucumber

Booker has worked hard to shred the no defense label. He's been above average all postseason. He's even had a few really good games on that end.

That steal off the lazy pass to Jokic was awesome.

Suns are focused heading into Game 3.

Clear hearing Monty Williams, Chris Paul and Devin Booker speak after the game that they aren't letting a 2-0 lead in this fashion get to their head. They were calm and focused, ready to execute again on the road.

Loved the balanced scoring attack. Sure, I'd love to see Book go off for 40 but the Suns are just a fundamentally better team when everybody gets involved.

Of course, when others are off, it's nice knowing Book or CP3 can get you a bucket.

 

[Hoop Head]

Its really hard to believe its Booker's first time in the playoffs. He's so poised. I know he let emotions get the better of him in the first 2 Laker games but since then he's been a stud.

 

[Hoop Head]

Thats the sacrifice I am willing to make.

You should make the hole pick you posted earlier, with the eyes, your avatar. Thats great stuff.

It's not just Book. Lots of first-timers and no one has shown signs of panic or nerves. Cam Payne, Bridges, Ayton, Cam Johnson... all of them have been playing as well (or better) as they have in the regular season... on BOTH ends of the floor.

[Covert Rain]

Chris Paul is the first player with at least 15 PTS with 15 AST and 0 turnovers in a playoff game since himself in 2014. The time before that was also himself in 2008.

Last two games 26 assists and 2 turnovers.

This needs to be absorbed.

Chris Paul has the most career playoff games with 15+ points, 15+ assists and ZERO turnovers since 1984.

Put some perspective on Chris Paul's name. #Suns #Nuggets #NBAPlayoffs

Or better yet.. the screwed over runner up coy that the team bust their ass for.

Incredible. I love it.

Good point. We may criticize him sometimes for timeouts or substitutions but man does he know how to get the players to buy in. Experience will take care of the rest, he has IT.

No, he won Coach of the Year.... from his peers. I think that comes with a plaque instead of a trophy. Less press as well since the press had no say in it while they're the ones who select the NBA's official Coach of the Year.

I would think receiving the award from your peers would mean more to someone. I'm not just saying that as a Suns fan either.

Here's a link to that awards website. It was created in 2016 and this site gives a brief description of it and how only the 30 NBA head coaches cast ballots.
