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

[Proximo]

We’ve had a good quarter and were still down. Nuggets are hitting some very lucky shots

I don't think the quarter has been that good. Booker has had a good quarter, but he's about it.

 

[BirdGangThing]

This is the part where Denver tries to adjust on Booker with Gordon successfully guarding KD by himself

Really need KD to have a good quarter here

 

[SirStefan32]

KD has to get it going or we will lose.

I agree. Suns are so thin that KD has to be... well, KD.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is doing everything but he can't do it for 48 minutes.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Shamet sucks so bad. He’s awful on D.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I don't mind Ross shooting but it'd be nice if he was open when he does

 

[Proteus]

Is Booker going to get some help tonight? Durant has 3 points on 1/7 shooting.

 

[Chaplin]

Murray is a great offensive player but his defense is downright offensive.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Hold up we might have super hero version Craig tonight fingers crossed

 

[Chaplin]

KD HAS to take over here.

Wow. Ayton will never be Max out player again. He is so out of touch and you can't possibly be this immature as 5 year NBA veteran as he is. Completely saddening. When this current contract ends he will struggle to ever be paid again. So much wasted talent.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Nuggets 31 Suns 29

 

[BirdGangThing]

Monty threw the Molotov Jocktail at Denver and it's paying off so far

 

[Chaplin]

And DA didn’t touch the ball on offense. Not sure the last time we saw that in the 1st quarter.

 

[JosiahLee]

Fantastic quarter from Denver. They will cool off. The question is can anyone besides Booker heat up?

 

[BirdGangThing]

End of the first martini

Book can't do it all on his own

Craig and Cam Payne showing flashes, Landale too

Will the real Kevin Durant please stand up

 

[RON_IN_OC]

KD HAS to take over here.

Never thought we'd see him play worse than last year's playoffs, but here we are. He just seems disconnected and disinterested.

 

[sdscard4]

Why no TJ
I don't get it..you suck at D anyways
Bring someone who can score.
Monty is the weak link.
KD needs to snap the F out of it

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD isn't disinterested, he's shooting plenty, they just aint falling

 

[DJ Tabooh]

End of the first martini

Book can't do it all on his own

Craig and Cam Payne showing flashes, Landale too

Will the real Kevin Durant please stand up

It’s now or never. We lose this game, we’re not coming back from 0-3 lol. C’mon KD!!!! Someone needs to help Book.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

Somehow the Nuggets committed only 1 foul in the entire quarter. Such great defense they play without ever touching anybody. What a joke

 

[RON_IN_OC]

And DA didn’t touch the ball on offense. Not sure the last time we saw that in the 1st quarter.

By design?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Somehow the Nuggets committed only 1 foul in the entire quarter. Such great defense they play without ever touching anybody. What a joke

Blown away there was no foul when they were on the floor grabbing and swiping at Bookers feet and legs.

 

[sdscard4]

Now he brings in TJ
So sad Monty really has no clue

 

[Chaplin]

And TJ makes a great play on defense…
