If I get a dollar every time the Suns are down by thirty after the first half and lose an elimination game by a lot at home court in the semifinals, I'd get two dollars which is not a lot but it's kinda weird it happened twice…
Don’t even care about the Suns. But for real KD? Just sad.
Let's get our ring this year fellas 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not even tryna be on this man meat like that but Jokic can damn near do everything wtffff
KD new chapter incoming
Damn KD shoulda stay in Brooklyn probably be playing in the ECF
Dapat bumalik ka nalng sa gsw number 35 parang di ka naman papasahan dyan
It had been proven again that KD needs Stephen Curry, more than Curry needs KD.
Booker so silent now e, gotta love seeing that guy gets quiet… annoying dude just like Brooks… remember that your REAL DADDY is JOKIC and your STEP-DAD is DONCIC.
Ang dami nag akala na papasok sa finals ang suns hahaha
Joker deserve a chip asap. True 2023 mvp
Kd need curry
Pheonix hates white euro hoopers in the playoffs..
suns in 9.. won free trip to cancun
These highlights are horrendous.. You had a clip where they were tied, then all of a sudden, the next clip Denver is up by more than ten points. Do better NBA youtube.
KD out here looking rough these past few years. Except for the Warriors what has he really done?
Phoenix doesn't have a bench. Denver never won anything and it won't start now
Cam Payne the headline they lost 😒
Suns play zero defense
The only reason the joker didn't get MVP was because everyone was claiming racism and even if cp3 was playing they still get eliminated
why is jokic movement is unpredictable its so weird you cant anticipate his next move.
i thought this was highlights but i see more of the PHX ones considering this was a blowout in favor of Denver. Is it either Nuggets shots are just boring to show or you just want everyone to see more of Booker and Durant on the reels?
DeAndre Ayden should be sitting out the next game to fuck the Phoenix Suns
Didn't watch the game, but I knew it was gonna be ugly when Cam Payne was the Suns rep on the thumbnail.
It's clear that KD needed the splash bro's more than they needed him
Trade ayton
Now Jamal Murray renamed it, it's his Phoenix sons
Basketball is very simple for Jokic
Nuggets deserve it this year, every other team has looked so dissapointing. It should be Heat vs. Nuggets for the finals, just based on effort, that's the only interesting matchup.
Denver so good right now!!! Whoever plays with Denver in the west finals will be the real finals!!!
They were blown out at home in elimination game last year 2022. Different players, same coach. Mionty is going to be fired. Kevin Durant will never win a championship again.
I’m tired of KD always joining championship teams!
👍
book and kd joining denver next year
Suns need a center or PF that can defend and rebound and stretch the floor on offense.
