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

[Folster]

This game sucks but it's a lot easier to swallow than Dallas last year. Denver was and is the better team.

 

[Proteus]

Durant finally hitting shots but in garbage time.

 

[Jakester]

I have a hard time believing that Ishbia with no loyalty to Monty and better championship winning HC options available on the open market will put up with this. Think the Suns will have a new head coach next year.

 

[elindholm]

I would be very curious to see what we get from Ayton with a different coach.

Too risky. The Suns need to trade Ayton now, while it's still possible for another team to believe that he can turn it around. Wait until he flames out under a new Suns coach, and there's no chance of finding a taker.

 

[JosiahLee]

Peace out everyone.

 

[Mainstreet]

With no assets to rebuild the team, one has to wonder if the Suns will look to blow it up.

This is what happens when a team needlessly bets all their chips on one hand.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Felt pretty much the same during the Cards/Rams playoff game. Humiliating clueless.

 

[clyde2tw]

Jokic with 4 fouls?

refs made some makeup off. foul calls as the lead was huge. LOL

 

[clyde2tw]

Durant finally hitting shots but in garbage time.

Denver feeling comfortable now, no longer triple team him with discipline

Yup. He’s gotta be moved now.

It’s not to risky if his value is garbage in return.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Poor Al McCoy.

please tell me you aren’t talking about bud.

he was so dumb he didn’t even double butler.

It's only going to go down. And I think another team will take a chance on him this summer. He's still a tantalizing prospect for someone believes in fairy tales. Heck, look what Brooklyn got for Durant!

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Might as well sit KD and Booker to prevent an unnecessary injury.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Poor Al McCoy.

Lucky Al McCoy. He's done with this team after tonight.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Poor Al McCoy.

Eh, he’s used to it. Suns have been a mediocre franchise since its inception.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Won a ship and wiped the suns off the floor in the finals….

 

[Proteus]

Suns down 103-76 after the 3rd quarter.

 

[Folster]

Diamond Sports (Bally Sports) will be back in bankruptcy court in the morning telling the judge nevermind.

 

[Vacard]

I would be very curious to see what we get from Ayton with a different coach. We saw Mikal have a big boost offensively after he left. We all know Ayton has offensive talent and I want to see what a different coach can get out of him.

Can’t coach motor and heart

 

[elindholm]

I think some of this board is misremembering the 2021 Finals. Yes, the Suns lost four straight, but Games 4, 5, and 6 were all close. They didn't fold, they just didn't win.

Hell no. They can suffer through it like the rest of us. Maybe it will finally sink in to Booker that he has completely erased any hype he had built for himself with YET ANOTHER stinker when it matters most.

The legend of that series continues to grow. Each time it's mentioned the losses were more and more humiliating.
