Playoffs: Nuggets @ Suns Friday game thread 5-5-2023 - Game 3

[Raindog]

Jokic walked on the previous possession

He's done all kinds of crap the refs don't call.

 

[95pro]

Jokic walked on the previous possession

He’s walked about three times tonight that should have been called.

 

[WisconsinCard]

Safe to come back now?

 

[Finito]

Can we please all agree KD has shown up and hasn't somehow magically lost a step on the flight to Phx

He’s 12/31 he’s been ASS.

The refs gave him every call in the first half. They haven’t in the second half.

 

[Proximo]

Can we please all agree KD has shown up and hasn't somehow magically lost a step on the flight to Phx

Not really. He really has not played to his standard. Look at his shooting percentage.

 

[AZ Native]

Jokic walked on the previous possession

and walked and walked

 

[Chaplin]

Smart play by Book to there

That was good, wasted a lot of time before taking the timeout.

 

[Dback Jon]

Jokic pushes off, walks and scores

 

[AZ Native]

Not really. He really has not played to his standard. Look at his shooting percentage.

Yeah points don't matter. Or making the other team foul. SMH

 

[BirdGangThing]

I love the twins but damn yall that was pretty nice

 

[Covert Rain]

Not really. He really has not played to his standard. Look at his shooting percentage.

This is dumb. He has shown up. He hasn’t shot well but if it wasn’t for Durant we wouldn’t have gone to the FT at all. He also has 9 rebounds and 8 assists.

He didn’t get it done traditionally with his jumper but managed almost 40.

 

[95pro]

Wow I didn’t realize that but they said KD has all 15 of the suns free throws in this game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD the only one to take a free throw

That can't be right

 

[WisconsinCard]

KD is a superstar. So he didn't have his best game tonight, but still has 39

 

[Proximo]

Yeah points don't matter. Or making the other team foul. SMH

The comment was he has not lost a step since he came from the Nets.

Sorry facts are facts - statistically he has.

 

[Hoop Head]

Hopefully Jock, TJ, KD, Book, and Payne are the closers.

That's not exactly a death lineup but it should cost JJ his job considering that's the best we got right now.

I'm surprised I predicted 4/5 of the crunch time lineup. Definitely didn't think Payne would be the odd man out for Shamet. Kind of figured TJ would be.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I love the twins but damn yall that was pretty nice

I wonder if the Suns tried to add Ayton to that deal and keep Mikal or Cam??

 

[FB94]

I hope Ayton is embarrassed by being benched late in the game but more likely he was happy he had more energy to play video games later tonight. Trade the wuss

 

[JosiahLee]

Our bench out scored theirs 22-20. Wow

 

[Chaplin]

Enough is enough with the hate.

 

[Proteus]

Booker finally gets to the foul line!

 

[Finito]

KD the only one to take a free throw

That can't be right

KD
14-16

The entire Suns starting line up
0-0

 

[95pro]

Refs are calling some quick fouls during these last few seconds.

 

[Covert Rain]

Durant had taken 100% of the Suns free throws until Book was fouled.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Booker to the line! Booker to the line!
