Games 3 and 4 more likely…
1,2,3 Cancun.
Whoa. Big Cam Payne game incoming?
Ain’t gonna be no game 5
Really hate to see it for such an upstanding and clean player
lol there’s no game 5, Nuggets are on a mission. Suns look depleted and not like a team hungry enough to win.
Shit, I bet $50 this would be a 5 game series.
It’s gonna be 4.
I’m mentally preparing myself for a 5 game series in which game 3 or 4 is the Suns’ kitchen sink game, the other is the Nuggets taking their foot off the gas, and Game 5 being a solid closeout win. I would love a straight sweep, this just feels more realistic given how the Nuggets’ vibe has been this season
I would feel bad but I don’t
The Lannisters send their regards.
Need to finish it in 5 at most then. Take advantage, kill them quick, and hope LA/GS is a seven game war
That sucks. There’s no team I want to beat more healthy, than the hospital run suns
The way it’s going they should worry more about getting to a game 5

Doesn’t matter. Missing your starting point guard has no affect on the outcome of a series.
With that bench? Oof I doubt they get to a game 6, let alone game 5.
I’ve been assured by Suns fans that missing a star guard has absolutely zero impact on a team’s playoff performance so I don’t expect this to affect their play at all
This is actually the best thing that could have for Chris Paul’s legacy. It’s now another unfortunate playoff injury, instead of the truth, which is that Chris Paul is no longer really a factor. He’s a starter level player, nothing more, and playing more in this series would have exposed that.
KD looked off last years playoffs thanks to suffocating celtic defense. But The playoffs before that he almost willed a terrible team past the soon to be champion bucks. Im not counting them out until were up 3 to 1

Sorry PHX folks, good luck next year.
10 more for us and the next two are feeling very “business as usual” right now…
Bummer, I really wanted to rub it in Suns fans’ faces.
Then again it’ll be fun to see them suffer the pain that is being an injured team. Either way, fuck em I hope they never get a ring
What are the sons going to do without that 10 points a game.
I’ll never be happy about a player getting injured, but I’m glad a dirty player is off the court. He’s a very skilled player, but that’s not what makes me nervous about playing him.
Not trolling here, but I have to say something. Being happy that any player is injured is just bad karma. I hate Pat Bev, but I don’t wish him to be injured. You guys are talking like this is gonna be a cake walk, but I can promise you it will be anything but. The Nuggets are actually my 2nd favorite team. I lived in Denver for close to 15 years. I am ashamed that you guys are doing this. You call the Suns fanbase toxic, but I have read some absolutely awful stuff from you guys on this sub and the trolls infesting the Suns sub. Rise above and embrace your success.
Watch out what you put out to the universe. Injuries happen all the time and you never know if one of your guys is next. Given what has happened in this playoffs – Embiid, Jimmy, Ja, CP3….you guys could be next.
*3-4 🧹🧹🧹🧹
Wouldn’t make a difference anyway
Chris Paul? Hurt in the playoffs? Who could’ve possibly predicted this?
Scott Foster no longer interested in reffing the series.
