    Stop double-teaming Durant and Booker. Just play man-to-man like Games 1 & 2. My two cents…

  2. Brickwallblitz

    This really is gonna be one of the more underrated playoff games ever because of Jokic’s shove, unbelievable effort from both teams.

  9. Brandon Parks

    I know Jokic is good, but he has NO strength in that paint. He really just has length and a high decent jump shot. He’s pretty good with his pivot fakes too lol

  10. Brandon Parks

    Also, I notice KD always flails and walks up court whenever he doesn’t get his way. He’ll never win a ring playing like that

  12. Geo Leo

    Bro Jokic travel crazy. Im just noticing it, refs don't call that? I want Nuggets to win but bro Jokic be traveling like he in the mile high club.

    I am a fan of neither team. I have to mention this after watching that game: The referee shooting foul calls were not consistent. Players were struggling to understand what the ref's considered as the threshold for physicality and a shot attempt foul. In my opinion, they missed so many calls on the paint shots from Nikola Jokic while giving fouls to the suns for the exact same amount of physicality. The most important thing with NBA ref'ing in the playoffs is CONSISTENCY. Players adapt to what they refs are telling them they are willing to give lee-way on physical contact. It had different standards and was impossible for most players, especially Denver, to know what constituted a foul or not. NBA needs to fix this and promote consistency. I rarely make ref comments but this was warranted

    I hope the Phoenix Suns will win an NBA championship title this year or else I'm gonna have to wait until next year in 2024 or 2025 or 2026 or 2027 or 2028 or 2029 or 2030 or 2031 or 2032 or 2033 or 2034 or 2035 or 2036 or 2037 or 2038 or 2039 or 2040 or any future years to win an NBA championship title in the Grand Canyon state and rule the desert in the valley of the sun but if the Phoenix Suns don't make it to the NBA finals this year by losing round 2 or round 3 or the NBA finals then I fear that the Phoenix Suns will relocate to a new destination and no longer stay in Arizona which means I'm giving up watching basketball on tv forever and be no longer be an NBA fan anymore ever again even though I don't like waiting not one bit oh no I'm gonna cry millions and millions of tears all day and night😭

    The suns win the biggest game of the year by a bench player that didn’t play in the second game lol if the nuggets mess this season up not losing to the defending champs or east that’s sad

  19. George Bowman

    We got the splash Brothers Booker and KD and possibly that guy that came off the bench scoring 19 or 20.

  21. Peace Love

    With a little help from the bench, Suns can beat anyone. Also, make the stiff Ayton sit on the bench and start Landale. Ayton is a dud and a reliability.

  27. Tinso

    i was wondering where was shamet at he hasnt been shooting the same lately but tonight i wanna see him play like this more often

  35. Philosophy For the Future

    Role players are the key to this series. And the fact that the Nuggets have home court advantage. Role players play much better at home and the home team has won each game so far due in large part to key role players stepping up to help. Also Chris Paul slows down the Suns a lot and if he comes back that could be bad for the suns. CP3 cursed for real

    Joker can’t win suns alone, he literally need only one dude to fallow like Durant and book fallow each other. Hoping for Denver win!
