Go suns
There’s only one way the suns can win, bring in both Okogie and Craig together to match up defensively and sit Paul. Otherwise they’re beat in every spot
Watch the Nuggets in the 1st series.
They beat the Timberwolves bad in game 1 But still switched up their game in game 2.
My Point if the Suns change to beat the Nuggets game from game 1 they are walking into a trap. The Nugget are going to bring new actions to game 2 that were not in game 1.
Why is cam Payne not getting any minutes? Is it the injury?
Denver is huge. We have nobody to guard Aaron Gordon or Michael Porter Jr.
Add in the fact that they can throw Caldwell Pope and brown at Booker all game..
There's a few ways we can win this series.
We need to rest DeAndre KD and Devin Booker at the same time.
Let Chris Paul run his offense with the bench unit. Chris Paul is a genius and let him make our bad players good by getting us open shots… And he and the bench need to play against Denver's starters to get them tired and then bring in our three guys fresh in the 4th quarter.
Secondly, We need to press Jamal Murray or yoke 90 ft when they bring the ball up. They have the manpower to throw defenders at our starters with fresh legs all game We need our non-offensive players to press Jamal Murray and yoke 90 ft to where their legs out so their shots come up short in the 4th quarter like ours were.
Third factor if Chris Paul is not going to average 16 points 10 assists or at least contribute or account for 30 points or more per game to offset Jamal Murray we are going to lose…
Lastly we need to fire Monty Williams because he won't make any adjustments so we're all just wasting our breath in this comment section…
I mean was it not obvious when Devin Booker KD and DeAndre were all hunched over holding their knees at the 3-minute mark in the third quarter while Denver just shot free throw after free throw after free throw… Like wtf is Monty even doing.
We have four of the six best players on the court when it's our starting five versus their starting five…
DeAndre KD and Devin Booker statistically will cancel out or even out all statistical standpoints of the game when it comes to the entirety of Denver's team…
The x factors are CP3 and Jamal Murray..
If Murray averages 30 points and six assists he's going to get Denver 45 points a game.
Chris Paul needs to average 16 points 10 assists to wash out Jamal Murray. If he doesn't do that we will lose.
Denver fan here. Hey Suns fans honest question here. What will/ can Cam Payne do? He’s defense will not affect anything and he’s offense is not offsetting much either. I’m just curious hearing all this can Payne talk.
Denver isn’t losing 3 games in a row
The humbled but hopeful version of this podcast is WAY better than the rose colored glasses version IMO.
I’m going to continue to say it, the offense stalls out every game, we have the fire power now in Ross and Warren; we have to use it because relying on KD and Book is not going to work
Here what sun needs to do to even the series limit the turn overs deandre ayton needs active on the board d book and ad needs score at least 60 points and the bench needs step up
We lost because of 3 point shooting we can't continue to get out shot by 3 by double figures, it puts too much pressure on us to make 2s. That's why we lost vs Dallas they shot lights out from 3
You guys keep bringing up adjustments they should make that involve details and small things or “play better team defense”…THEY HAVE ONLY PLAYED TOGETHER FOR 14 GAMES. And you think they’re gonna be able to connect and get a feel for one another?
Stop putting Shamet in. We need Ross and Warren to take all of his minutes.
Remember, we were 1st seed last year
Suns are gonna lose to good teams if they continue to under utilize KD. KD would’ve finished with 45 points if he had that kinda 1st with any other team. For someone reason cp3 keeps the ball from him a lot
The “suns in 6 pick” is so Fucking arrangant.
The Suns have a lot of talent but only Book and KD seem to be the only ones playing well. Why do you think that is Brenden?
The Suns are done, maybe they can get more pieces next season they can't compete with the Nuggets roster with what little they have right now 💯
