Suns @ Nuggets Friday Playoff game thread 6-11-2021 - Game 3

[Cheesebeef]

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

Paul Suns. Deeper, smarter and much better defense.

but the 2007 squad with KT would make it close.

 

[Cheesebeef]

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.

nah. He was crashing hard when the game still mattered tonight. Got a couple big offensive rebounds that led to killer 3s also.

 

[Superbone]

I have a feeling he’ll turn it on in the next 24 minutes.

Nailed it! (Talking about Paul)

 

[Shaggy]

I never understood that even at the time. James did a whole bunch of fancy back-and-forth dribbling while Crowder said "Uh huh?" and waited for him to do something meaningful. It was like watching a peacock go through a big courting display to a plastic statue.

Ha ha!

 

[Superbone]

Did Jefferson ever play in Denver? I remember him with the Nets and Cavs. Not sure where else he played.

He said during the broadcast that he did at the end of his career.

Yeah...easy one. Nash though with THIS team and coaching. Forgetttaboutitt!

 

[Superbone]

My point was the half time show with brooms is irresponsible

I agree. Bothered me too. Now? Sure. Or will it be a gentleman's sweep? I say put them out of their misery.

 

[Covert Rain]

This team is much fun to watch!

Suns coaches do a good job of preparing the team for the defense thrown at them.

Kellan Olson

Chris Paul said the Suns coaches do a great job of preparing the players for all the defenses that teams can throw at them and that attention to detail hasn't changed all season.

Monty needs to work on his 2-for-1 calls in the offseason.

The way the Suns are improving by the game, they'll have it figured out by the next round.

Chris Paul says Deandre Ayton is selfless and does things that don't show up on a stat sheet.

Kellan Olson
@KellanOlson

Chris Paul said Deandre Ayton does everything that doesn't show up on the stat sheet and he's selfless. "I can't say enough about DA."

Wasn't seeing the same. But hey.. we all have our perspectives. I just know we will need him on top of his hustle and energy next series against a more physical jazz team..so maybe I'm looking ahead. But his energy is going to be key against a gobert imo. That team plays tough.

Devin Booker also gives credit to Deandre Ayton.

I hate when ESPN has the game and there’s no TNT post game to look forward to

NBATV for the save.

 

[Mainstreet]

One of the best back courts in the NBA.

I so enjoyed Chris Paul making sure Jokic got the technical.

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.

Maybe we're just TOO good.

 

[Germz249]

I am out for the night. Just want to say thank you guys. All the updates and insights you guys give is awesome. 9 more wins!! Lets sweep and get some rest!

 

[Mainstreet]

NBATV for the save.

And a much needed save by Superbone.

I love the way Monty has handled himself in the post game press conferences. No ego and no false humility, just straight answers.

yup.

 

[Mainstreet]

Deandre Ayton is so humble. He respects Nikola Jokic.

He's not just the dishing deity. He's the mind game master.

Chris Paul thinks on multiple levels at the same time. He is playing chess while others are playing checkers.

Yup he plays a game within the game. I love it when he tries to give an opponent high five when they miss a freethrow.
