Playoffs: Nuggets @ Suns Thursday game thread 5-11-2023 - Game 6

[elindholm]

The Suns gave away the rest of the decade for Durant.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Suns had 21 points in the 1st 6 minutes....and then just 30 in the last 18 minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Nuggets 81- Suns 51

 

[JosiahLee]

Ayton looked joyful heading to the locker room.

How can you let a team score 80 in the first half of a must-win game. Flat out embarrassing.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Crowd boos...and it's deserved.

 

[Covert Rain]

Denver on pace to score 162 points. Inexcusable.

 

[gmabel830]

This second half comeback is going to be epic!

 

[AzStevenCal]

This is just sad. I don’t have the words.

What a disaster.

I do. You think this is a disaster, just wait until we finish paying off the Durant trade.

 

[Fitz4Ever]

This is so embarrassing. I can't wait to hear the post game pressers where the guys talk about how much more to life there is than basketball....put on their shades...and give us all a big middle finger on their way to the beach!

 

[95pro]

I’m rooting for Denver after this. They have the size, athleticism and a solid center to work around.

 

[JosiahLee]

The Suns gave away the rest of the decade for Durant.

What a freaking steal of a trade by the Nets.

 

[nashman]

**** Ayton smiling and laughing get that piece of garbage out of here!

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Ayton looked joyful heading to the locker room.

Of course....he's been made the scapegoat, so now he can sit back and watch the meltdown.

I will never be able to understand how a team can fail to play with effort in such an important game. It's honestly weird.

 

[clyde2tw]

The same farce over and over in each of the last 3 playoffs. The offense by Monty is simplistic and limited in numbers, and seen through by the opponents by the 5th game at latest. The good enough team always find a way to stop it completely, and Monty has no other alternatives. OTH, Monty in this game exchanges defense for offense by sitting Okogie, which in turn helped Nugs gain confidence in offense that is their strength you always want to disrupt at all costs. A concept for failure totale. And like the game 6 loss to Dallas last year, it's not really DA's foul but Monty's.

Mental midgets. Adversity hit them and they didn’t hit back.

Life of a Suns fan.

I was told Ayton was our problem. Thank God we started Jock tonight

 

[Covert Rain]

Three years in a row getting completely embarrassed.

Monty needs to go.

 

[Vacard]

Everyone extends but us. We play our worst when the chips are down. And on our home court at that. Like this always happen man. I just don’t get it

 

[Finito]

Sooooo

We gonna talk about Booker melting down in these elimination games?

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Of course....he's been made the scapegoat, so now he can sit back and watch the meltdown.

Haha, Ayton is no scapegoat, he’s trash.

 

[Sunstroke]

so you think they are going to pick the worst possible coach and gm?

Better schematics coach than Williams will ever be in the playoffs.
Budenholzer has a ring. Suns organization doesn't. Oh yeah,
he wrecked Monty just two years ago with 4 straight wins and the title.

As if Ayton would have made any difference. LOL.
