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

[Proximo]

The guys on First Take think that may be TJ Warren, although Monty hasn't even looked at him, barely. I mean, might as well. They could always go Okogie AND Torrey Craig at the same time. I have been hearing on the radio to expect Cam Payne to start. That probably means Ross or Lee is our second PG?

No, booker is our 2nd point guard, which he really has been all playoffs.

I'm struggling to figure out how the line tonight is Suns -4.5.

Well basically unless the Suns are total frauds they have to win tonight otherwise they are likely getting swept. I guess the thinking is they aren't total frauds.

I want to believe that, but I'm not 100% sure I do. But I will say this, if the Suns do lose tonight I expect Monty to be fired.

They should have won the last game. Altitude and insanely cold shooting did them in.

Denver is still the heavy favorite to win the series but the Suns are not getting swept.

 

[Covert Rain]

On the radio the guys indicated that we might see Ross and/or TJ in this game. It sounded like it came from Monty but I didn't hear the entire thing. I heard the end of it as I was driving home from the office.

Let's get some home-cookin' going, boys! Need a momentum shift in this series ASAP!

 

[JosiahLee]

My irrational hope is rising before tipoff. If the basketball gods could help us win 2 games at home, suddenly I think there would be a ton of pressure on Denver as they headed back home.

In game 1, Denver was -2.5. Basically a pick ‘em if the game was on a neutral court. Vegas does these lines to get action from both sides. All that means is money has been coming on the Suns. With 3 days in between games, lines will shift.

To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I went to Taco Bell and bought three soft-tacos,,and during the game
I'll drink one bottle of Dos Equis XX Lager.

If the Nuggets are winning big,,,I'll finish off six more and return to the forum in the morning
to read the negative comments.

Hoping for two, home game wins!

I don't drink anymore but a Dos Equis Lager was my favorite beer back in the day. Have a second one for me.

This was from the other day, I thought @Ronin would share it here but I don't know if he follows Gerald Bourguet on Twitter.

Monty mentioned possibly playing TJ and/or Ross for offense in game 3.

I don't follow him. Thanks for sharing that.

He's a good follow. He has a Suns podcast with Lindsey Smith and covers a lot of things. I thought he tweeted that but he retweeted it.

IMO, Gerald is the best Suns beat reporter. Kellan a close second.

I couldn't think of Kellan's name to say basically the same thing and didn't want to open Twitter back up to find him. Agree 100% though.
