Suns @ Nuggets Sunday Playoff game thread 6-13-2021 - Game 4

[JCSunsfan]

Wow. I was on a plane for the entire second half. Followed the score in the sports center scroll bar on the bottom of the screen.

on the Jokic foul. He said after the game that he was trying to foul hard to light his team up some. He wasn’t trying to hit him in the face. That’s exactly what it looked like to me. It was intentional no basketball.

He’s such a big kid. It is hard not to smile and appreciate his goofiness.

The Suns acquiring Chris Paul is like capturing lightning in a bottle twice.

The other time was Steve Nash.

Both players were available because many thought they were past their prime.

You could say the exact same thing about Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer for the Cardinals too.

8 more wins. Lets go.

Lets hope a different outcome than 2009-10 season which has been pretty much the same outcome so far. Won the first round in 6, swept the Spurs the 2nd round but lost in the WCF in 6.

I wonder how long it's been since a guard has scored 37 in a game without a single 3 pointer.

He is a mid range killer. And he could drop 37 or more every night, just choses not to do it for the betterment of the team.

He's kind of like a basketball version of Gronk

Exactly. Both are very similar cases as well. Now we need to turn one of these moves into a championship.

The Rockets traded Chris Paul AND 4 first round picks for Russell Westbrook.

I have to say Jokic is a great player but I lost lots of respect for him on that play. He said he was trying to shake up his team but it was clearly he thought he got fouled earlier and he got mad. but he basically slapped at Payne and then followed through with a forearm so it wasn't a "hard foul" it was a cheapshot that didn't connect so he followed through with the forearm.

Again great player had a great year but that was completely uncalled for. Tough series for them for sure but don't wuss out and get yourself ejected.

The crowd erupting when Ayton yells “Yeaaahhh!” is awesome.

The city’s love affair has been rekindled in a big way.

I was wondering if I would ever see it again. Can't put it into words... after all this time.

What a wonderful moment. I'm guessing few if any thought it would be this season.

Sometimes things just come together.

What I'm seeing is not they only won because Jokic got ejected but man what a wussy move by Jokic. he knew they were going to lose and didn't want to play the rest of it out so he lost his cool, took a cheap shot and got ejected. That was my take on it immediately he knew Phoenix was the better team and even if they somehow managed to win game 4 they were going to lose the series and he didn't want to deal with that so he got kicked out.

I love his game, great player but he really seemed to wuss out there IMO.

I'm listening to Al McCoy. He thought it was the right call.
