Suns take no threes, have no bench, and have a trash big man rotation zero excuse for the Nuggets to lose this series media was making PHX out to be some juggernaut and no doubt about it favorite to come out of the West, but that team is just KD, Booker, and a bunch of guys
I think the Durant trade wiping away all the Suns depth will cost them this series. They should have done the deal last off season they might have been able to sign some vets to bolster their bench.
Shamet is the only dude off PHX's bench who can get buckets, but he's looked unplayable because he gets hunted on defense. If Booker and Durant don't absolutely both have monster games, PHX might be cooked.
Nuggets have taken 20 more shots and made 10 more threes PHX would’ve been a problem back in 2003, but going 5-16 from deep isn’t beating anyone these days
Well, Ayton is allowing jokic to play. I wonder if Monty goes small. Remember when Utah and Denver would lose on purpose to duck the Rockets? what a time to be alive. Man, 2018 rockets would have decimated this year's playoffs.
Is their a small lineup the Suns can play with their lack of depth to make Denver take Joker off the court ? I don't see it.
I said it during the Suns-Clippers series. The Suns have no bench. They have to rely heavily on the old legs of KD and CP3. Not looking good.
The Nuggets are deep, having home court advantage in Denver is huge in the playoffs, and late 20s is historically a good time for multi-year MVPs to perform in the playoffs. Phoenix is old, GSW are old, LeBron is old, Sacramento is too young and just happy to be in the playoffs. This is looking like a straight runway to a Denver versus Boston Finals right now. You never know though, crazy things can happen in the playoffs.
Cp3? Bro I dont think Cp3 has even had a good game the entire playoffs. He been ass every game they've played.
Old legs + poor depth + no D won’t get you far against the best teams. Ayton in particular has really been a huge let down.
Anyone got the gif where Jokic just stands there not jumping at all rebounding to himself 3-4 times and the Suns could do nothing about it?
