  1. Keeping my hopes up as a Phoenix fan.
    Feels kinda sad to know that the only way for Suns to actually win is to have KD and Booker to go beyond the expectation.. but still keeping my hopes alive

  2. Book & KD are great players, but do they have to flop after EVERY basket? And/or lobby for a foul if you breathe on them?

    But, the refs give them those fouls & don’t call it fairly against Denver. It’s pretty obvious.

  3. KD on Warriors: They really letting me carry this team

    KD on Suns: Glad to have someone with scoring fire power

  4. I love the way Book is changing…
    From just a 'Shooting' guard to a
    Primary ball handling PG .. His leadership and team spirit – just amazing..Still just 26..Keep it going Book.. 🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  5. This is surely one of best duos in the playoffs nowadays.
    Looks like both play very well between each other and know exactly what they have to do when are involved in their team attacks.
    Very dangerous guys to stop for anyone opponent when they work together.

  6. I like the suns plays faster pace than when cp3 is there, I know cp3 is a great playmaker but I always feel cp3 holds the team back.. And also nice adjustment by the suns playing warren and ross those 2 has positive impact

  7. The dual committee does it again for the rising suns in the valley and as a golden st warrior I will always support Kevin durantula and cp3 to get rings so we shall see what the basketball gods have in store for us the rest of these playoffs 👍💯

  8. CP3 goes down and this team is faster, plays with better pace, better shooting and better perimeter defense. CP3 is a liability.

  9. think about where the suns would be without kd coming…it would be on a summer break started one week ago.

  10. NBA YouTube channel social media team downplaying this game.
    The final score was actually Denver 81 Phoenix 72 in a battle of super stars. Denver's bench unfortunately came up short in the loss.

  11. DBook is so smooth! Amazing midrange jumpshot. I'm gonna study his playstyle and try to do it in games. ❤️

  12. Booker is playing great for this era of basketball…
    Touch fouls and all..
    Stop trying to say it's the best you have ever seen based on stats. Also KD is the one who has helped booker the most. KD just loves to play basketball and loves ball movement even if it doesn't end up in his hands. KD is a plug and play type of player. He can play well in any system.

  13. If nuggets win my Lakers will have chance and the chance is if AD dominate Jokic but if Suns won its a sweat sweep 😂 no one in Lakers can defend KD and Book

  14. i don't like the suns. I'm primarily rooting for them for booker though. I used to hate him last season but I can't deny that he is a heck of a player.

  15. Booker and KD are the ultimate ball hogs. The role players don't get to touch the basketball…. This is why role players enjoy playing with LeBron's teams.

  16. Lol, when you have to put 72 for two people just so it doesn't seem that Jokic got 53 alone is important

  17. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton are scoring a total 80 points for the W. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
