Get Mike the basketball
32 pts on 29 shots 😀
i hope hes in the gym shooting tomorrow.
Took Booker and KD a combined 86 points with book shooting 75% to beat us. Whatever. Nuggs in 5.
Was close but kd and booker are too insane
Hope this game is a last wakeup call for Jamal. This media shit got to him, as he thinks he is better than Jokic and casually takes 30 shots and makes everyone cold in the 2nd half. You can’t throw games like that and expect to win a championship. Malone honestly needs to grow a pair and bench him, Bruce was much better choice for last 6 minutes.
WHY DIDN’T WE LET MPJ COOK 😭😭😭
Fuck Booker!
Nuggets in 5
Sad Loss but fuck em we winning in 5
We might be fucked if Monty starts Landale for the rest of the series lol
I don’t wanna be mad at Mal, but I sorta am?
Fuck you and I’ll see you Sunday!
Murray should have been pulled out of the game in the 4th.
Foisg
And here we go with the crazy Jamal hate again lol
Phoenix needed KD and Booker to combine for 85 and for us to miss shots we normally don’t miss only to beat us by 7. I’m not worried at all. Nuggets in 5
Let’s take the next one. We played a good game. They had to go lights out.
Lost the game in the first 2 mins of the 4th Q. Just terrible effort there
Only mad that we wasted a vintage MPJ game. We’ll bounce back like always!
