Wow really?? Did he really busted the guy’s nose and held him there while screaming Suns in 4.

It's about as good as it gets.

Either that or I need more.

Those idiot Nugget fans just ruined basketball for.themselves, with an assist from Steve Bash.

You think they'll flinch every time they hear "Suns in 4" in the future?

In the video it looked like some of the Nuggets fans were supportive of the Suns fan.

Suns in 4 guy a metaphor for the Playoffs.

Suns not respected, sneak attack attempted and dismissed, with prejudice.

That was good to see. I know in football games you'll see blind support for fans wearing the same teams jersey but I think drinking is more prevalent at football games as well.

It was clear those 2 nugget fans got what they deserved. Totally classless.

Felt like pretty much every time Jokic scored on Ayton I just said to myself "gotta live with that going in". Jokic was just making a bunch of tough shots, but is also why he shot something like 40%.

I know Jokic had a good game, but when your center is shooting 44% and 55% from the FT line, you are in trouble. His scoring number is not impressive. The rebounding and assist numbers are quite so.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Jokic was a lot of empty calories late when the game was over. He started 6-18 from the floor when the game was still in some tiny doubt.

He also got hunted mercilessly on defense in the 4th and gave up everything he got and more. Net negative even with the gaudy counting numbers.

"Suns in 4!" Lol

Nikola Jokic has a heavy load to carry with the Nuggets and he is not a great athlete. I think he may be wearing down under the weight. The Suns make him work constantly.

I remember when Steve Nash got wore down in the playoffs and I wanted to scream, no more.

Maybe I'm the only one but I didn't like the aggression of that Suns fan in Denver's arena. He looked like the aggressor from the start. Show some class in victory. When I go to an opposing arena in Suns gear, which I've done quite a few times, I'm always respectful of the home fans. Sure, you can be excited for your team and outwardly root for them but try to be respectful of the home fans in their arena. I wouldn't be rubbing in the win.

On a side note, a few years ago I was in NY for the Suns swing though MSG and Barclays. I wore my Booker away jersey. The NY fans were great. They gave me a good natured ribbing and I had a lot of fun. I think the Suns lost to the Knicks and beat the Nets that year. I remember Warren going down in the first half with a head injury in the Knicks game. lol. It was also crazy that Ryan McDonough was sitting directly in front of me and I met him with my adult son and he was really nice.

I don't like aggression either but those two Nuggets fans had a chance to walk away but didn't.

We don't know what happened prior.

True. I'm reading that the Nuggets fans may have instigated it and somebody may have poured beer on the Suns fan but still, try and be the bigger man. He didn't need to repeatedly punch that guy in the face after he had cowered over.

 

[Superbone]

Here's the end of it with the Suns fan being escorted out:

The guy tried to sucker punch him. Not to sound ruthless, but if someone attempts a sucker punch, you don't give that guy a chance to deliver another one. You make sure the fight is over.

If those Utah fans actually started it, the attempt to deliver a flying sucker punch from that guy would have sent many a man into overdrive in response so I can't really fault him.

But he did keep going after he could have stopped. Not sure I want to get into picking sides here.

Dude had it coming. Actions have consequences as they say.

I know you think that. But it is going to cost that Suns fan a lot of money, and maybe even some jail time. That's my guess.

He could probably set up a GoFundMe for his jail time, and get a thousand Suns fans willing to serve the time.

 

[95pro]

Nuggets guy kept holding the suns guy arm, which is probably why he kept punching

 

[SunsTzu]

I doubt it, he probably just gets banned from the arena.

Absolutely if you agree to part ways and then get a cowardly sucker punch with your guard down you beat the crap out of that guy.

You make sure he understands to never do that again.

Otherwise he will just do it again

I have to agree here. If you have already been the bigger man and let it go (after getting a beer poured on you) and the guy comes back and sucker punches you, you should do whatever it takes in insure that the guy doesn’t come back and sucker punch you again.
