D-A don't wanna be in Phenix
Mcnutt is the most beautiful woman on television right now facts
Stephen curry is the best teammate Kevin Durant has had
Ayton can't guard jokic. Jokic absolutely schooled him on Christmas with that tripe double.
lets not forget suns struggle against the clippers who didnt have PG and Kawhi. i can see the Suns getting swept
The suns sacrificed what got them to the finals a few years ago to get KD. They're not a scary team at all.
A gentleman's sweep by Nuggets baby
…I wonder what Monica looks like with long hair…
I don’t get how the best player in basketball is being carried by devin booker
I thought my phone was dying when the screen went blank.
Suns will win the series they have KD😂. But as long as Steph wins his games I’m cool with whatever outcome.
Say what yall want about SAS, he was in his bag with that rant 😂
" You just went on a 6 min rant" KP 🤣🤣😂
Wow the disrespect to the joker crazy
Monica so fine
Stephen you said phoenix got swept by the phoenix suns😂 3:34
SAS: “Yo Perk, M&M where they from?”
M&M: “CANADA”
😂😂😂
CANADA! Lmfao what?
Game 1's can be misleading. Still think Phoenix can win in 6.
I think the suns were a better team with bridges, Johnson, and Crowder. In this game you need depth, not just 3 superstars. I think the suns shot themselves in the foot. Don’t underestimate the Nugs, they are the real deal.
Suns don’t have the defense and can’t afford to trade 2s for 3s with Denver.
I agree with Stephen A. Jamal was incredible, and the fact that KD, CP3 and Booker are playing a lot of minutes. That would be exhausting for younger players- but they are much older. I don't think they will have enough gas to last the series. This is no way takes away from the incredible skills of The Suns, I just think The Nuggets will go a lot further.
If we remember Jamal Murray from the playoffs before his ACL injury he was every bit the player Devin Booker is offensively.
JAMAL MURRAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephen A saying he would rather be in Phoenix than Denver, tells me he’s never been to Denver. It’s a way better city and it’s not even close.
Depth has been the theme in these playoffs.
Jokic is 3xmvp and Denver nuggets will be CHAMPIONS
Perk is totally missing the point, don't matter how good book KD are, they can't control the boards or the ball, then they'll lose, because everyone is going to miss shots, second chance points are huge, almost like forcing turnovers, or recovering fumbles in football
"CANADA" LMFAOAO
GOLDENSTATE vs Nuggets in WCF.
i’ve been trying to tell y’all denver is like that put some respect on them
Book and kd going to have to put 40+ point each just to have a chance to win
Glad to see the Nuggets play like the way they did against the Suns in game 1. Showing the entire league, they’re not push overs. Lot of people in the media disrespected the Denver Nuggets a lot, saying that they will lose in the first round of the playoffs.
This may be perk last appearance
