If you guys need further icing on the cake, take a look at r/sixers off day thread and look at all the salty comments about Murray going nuclear 💀💀

Went to the suns sub.
Basically they expect 3’s and shooting to revert to the mean.
They hate Shamet getting minutes.
They feel their rotation is just Booker and KD and they don’t have the depth and that was exposed.

Suns biggest win today is that they only had to play KD and booker 37 and 40 minutes BECAUSE THE NUGGETS BLEW THEM THE FUCK OUT

This is definitely going to be a long series but this team performance bodes well.
And Jamal was/is/will always be HIM

Hats off to Christian Braun. He locked up Durant and Booker late in the 3rd when they were making a run. Going up against some of the greatest scorers in the league and he doesn’t flinch a bit.

Aaron Gordon is the player of the game. Would be sick if thos wasn’t his best game of the series

I kept receipts to the suns fans that wrote these words to me:
“🧹🧹🧹🧹”
And what I received back is:
“If you’re in Phoenix for a playoff game I’ll fight you”
I let him know I live in PHX & got blocked lmao 🤣

Seeing Booker in person, didn’t realize how much he cries to the refs. Holy shit man.
Superbotto 2 years ago
Listening to ESPN radio before the game and whoever the hell was talking saying KD makes the Suns unstoppable. The Suns will probably in 4 and probably win by 20 every game. They said the Suns make the Finals, but wouldn’t be surprised if the Lakers or Kings snuck in. What the actual fuck.

I said a few days ago that AG and Bruce would be the biggest x factors in this series, and right off the bat they stepped up and absolutely torched the living skin off the Suns.

Me before game “I have huge expectations for AG”
AG clearly heard me, and decided to ball the fuck out like a god damned basketball god

So it’s a long shot but if anyone at the game managed to snag an extra blue shirt from today’s game and would be willing to part with it for $20 or so, hit me up. Willing to pick up basically anywhere in Denver or north of Denver.

Listen, y’all, I’m being 100% serious, and it may have sounded stupid ahead of last time we met them in the playoffs, and it may have sounded stupid ahead of this game, but this game was **pivotal**. SUNS ARE A BITCH ASS TEAM, their leaders are, um, well let’s list it, shall we?
1. Dude that literally keeps switching to the strongest team in the league, didn’t do shit on his own
2. Dude that’s literally known for choking like a dog every time it matters
3. Dude that complains about getting doubled in a pick up
They don’t know how to play from behind, they’re an absolutely *elite* team when they’re up, and everything is going well, Idk if there’s a better guy than CP3 at closing game with his team in the lead. Idk if there’s a better guy than KD at crushing your dreams when you’re behind, and trying to get on a run, and he just hits a couple of impossible pull ups. But they’re not killers. They’re soft as baby shit, Nuggets in 4.
Edit: Forgor to say, Nuggets would’ve won the last series, even without Mal and injured Mike if we got the G1. Yes, I said it.

Oh man, crazy how they got a 4 point possession to open the third. Then a Malone timeout helped iced that out. That’s a mature group to not let that avalanche. But need to get more MPJ shots
