keep these coming dude...

lol got to keep this train going. How did we look? In control the whole time like the game wasn’t going to slip away? Did Denver show any signs of fight or have they thrown in the towel?

I never yelled at the TV ONCE tonight. This was just a methodical drubbing from the opening tip. Dare I say... kinda boring?!

It was maybe the least dramatic road playoff win for the Suns I have ever seen. And I have watched every playoff game since 1977.

Denver's only lead in the game was 3-2 and then the Suns led the rest of the game. Denver got our lead down to 4 a few times in the 2nd qtr, but we took over in the 3rd & played them even in the 4th for the 14 pt win. Denver's offense was all Jokic with very little help from his teammates.

Are they on suicide watch? Yeesh

The Suns are a different animal.

Nikola Jokic left every single thing he had on the court tonight. He's got 30 and 19 boards in 39 minutes with two minutes left. The Suns, however, are a different animal.

He's a good player. But trying to put him up there with Olajuwan, Shaq, Malone..


NO. Those guys would have wiped the floor with him. IMHO

Who called him Olajuwon or Shaq? Sounds like you’re putting words in people’s mouths unless I missed it.

 

[dscher]

Nikola Jokic with 32 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists. Give the man the respect he deserves.

Nah. Legler said it best imo...he did what he was supposed to do. Just no help and great team d. Those numbers are spectacular in close games. Not blowouts. IMHO

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is crazy to say in a game where Joker had 32/20/10, but I thought DA played him great and was a beast on the boards when the game mattered again.

 

[Finito]

He's also a product of being the only big man on the court. Saric would have had 10-15 with Ayton minutes. IMO, dude could easily have 20-25 in a game like tonight with a little extra hustle. He seems to have the same stamina as Jokic though...so it makes sense.

Is this a joke?

Dario could of gotten 15 boards? Has Dario ever gotten 15 in his career?

he gets 15 rebounds and is great on the glass and it’s bitch that he should of had 25 lol

 

[Cheesebeef]

Thank God James Jones didnt sign Ibaka like I wanted him to. Dude was on the shelf all year and now is officially done with back surgery.

Crowder has to be the best MLE signing of last offseason at this point, right?

He’s the first player in history to lead the league in plus/minus that doesn’t make his team better.

I wanted PJ Tucker over Crowder thank god we didn’t do that

Crowder has been huge for this team

I mean I guess.

man...

Guys aren't even looking him in the eyes during timeouts...

Crowder has to be one of the best MLE signings. Not signing Ibaka was a blessing in disguise.

Harrell might have been a MLE. I don't think the Lakers knew how to play him.

 

[ajcardfan]

There were graphics for that comparison in both the pregame and during the game. Richard Jefferson said Jokic definitely belonged in that group. It included David Robinson and Wilt as well.

He also is a poo defender

 

[mjb21aztd]

Who would win paul suns vs nash suns? I say paul tougher def better coach imp deep bench lol be fun though

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I'm not sure what more Jokic can do. He is the only star on the team with Jamal Murray out.

The Nuggets eliminated a good Portland team in the first round.

Pretty sure he could play better defense.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Crap i was zzzzz now I'm full awake ugh such a fun magical season seemed like a lifetime since suns this tremendous

 

[Mainstreet]

Pretty sure he could play better defense.

Two time MVP Steve Nash could have played better defense as well.

Sometimes one has to look at what a player brings to the table.

They are at 91% capacity

And it sounded like 20% Suns fans!

Relax. I said..with Ayton minutes. Yes..he would have or close to it imo.... Ayton gets the benefit of big man rebounds. Not hustle rebounds from what I've seen. I'm a fan of boxing out correctly and hustle rebounds. Is what it is.
