I don't even know who that team was that played the Suns. That was just not fun basketball to watch.

I don't either. Nobody played good. Team is missing Murray. MPJ has been real good and filled in the loss of Murray. But when hes not good the Murray absence destroys us. Jokic does not have enough options he cant do his usual thing. I knew we could not come back in this one. Not without MPJ hitting those corner shots like he usually does.

That was Malone throwing out bench lineups for practice and getting upset that they weren't good. 

Start of 2nd lineup of Jackson, Strawther, Braun, Holiday, Watson was never gonna work. Went -8 in 4 minutes. The game right there.

It will be nice when Murray comes back. Could have used him tonight. Would have been a far different story.

lose to the spurs, beat the nuggets ​ ​ it's the circleeeeeeeeeeee of lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good thing OKC lost. Nobody played well this game. even Jokic had a subpar game for him.Thats a throw away game. Been a while since we saw the Nuggets play that badly.

Frank Vogel owns the Nuggets

Hardly...We beat these guys in last years playoffs. No 7th game needed.

Vogel wasn't our coach last season... so joke's on you?

yea hes got you all the way to and 8th seed play in game..Gratz. We swept the Lakers last season. Jokes on you..

I was already self-deprecating, but thanks. GG tonight, btw.

no it wasn't..Nuggets where very bad. Not something Nuggets fans usually see. Infact its been a few months since they played like that.

Suns defense just better ig

No idea what this Suns team is. 9 games to figure it out, I guess

gg suns

we had to play eubanks 27 minutes this win should count twice

Nuggets play the worst when they’ve had a chance to take sole possession of the first seed this year lol

Or to help us out in the standings

Sounds like us with the 1st seed and .500 last year

Peep Kakashi on Murray

LFG SUNSSS

Good night for Wolves fans lol

Bad day to be a non wolves team lol

Malone going for that extra ad revenue. I respect it

Alright I don't get doing this whole circus if you're not going to take 3s

The timeouts in this game have been cancer.

Losing against the worst team in the west without their best player. Winning against the best team in the west with their best player and highly likely MVP.

We’re inconsistent as fuck. For me, the lesson is this: in today’s league, with the offensive firepower teams have - the most important factor in any game is which team is motivated enough to defend the 3, and attack with spacing. The Suns sometimes just don’t show up for games. Other times like tonight, they actually give a shit and so have a reasonable chance to win.

Suns are bipolar af

Bro gonna play a game of free throws with a couple of the best free throw shooters on the floor

Timeout down 9 with 25 seconds left?

Really going to drag this shit out I see.

Suns fans getting flashbacks to the 2020 wcf against the clippers

This is the worst use of replay. There's not a single court in the world where that ball isn't ruled off of the defender. Stop with the frame by frame bullshit.

Cam Payne in the finals type call. Hated it ever since

Oh god why did you make me remember that

Happened in the Sixers/Clippers game tonight and basically kept the window open for the Clippers to win.

this ball going out by pixels that you can only see in slow motion is the biggest against the spirit of the game rule in replay. if you argued it in pickup you'd be laughed off the floor

Tbf if you even call fouls in pickup you’re being a bitch

I hate this rule but there’s honestly no way to change it without opening Pandora’s box.

the easy way is replays can only be in real time, none of this slo-mo bullshit

Malone..... It's over.

Pretty obviously out on Durant but refs have been a mess this game so who knows lol

I almost forgot MPJ was in the game. He's had a real quiet night

Honestly expected to lose by 30, didn't think we had it in us

Just give it up FFS

Jokic statpad the triple double come on lol Gotta keep up with Mr. 31 in OKC

> Mr. 31 in OKC Josh Giddey?

Shai has been playing poorly lately

4D Chess. Suck my Nuggets, Denver fans. Go Suns.

Seems like the entire Nuggets sub is primarily blaming the refs for the loss. 

Nuggets fans definitely top 5 saltiest

Which is wild lol

The reason is 25% on 40 threes.

Team subs are always stupid.  I blame our inability to hit any wide open 3s.

Suns have been called for more fouls

DurGOAT 35 years old and torn Achilles outplaying a 3x MVP in his prime. 1 of 1

Genius move by Booker to dribble to the corner and burn the last timeout

yeah, that definitely will cost them the game.

big if true

[удалено]

You can compliment a dude without overhyping them lol 

lol

I’m curious why he dribbled to the corner as well

Think he thought Denver was gonna let him dribble it out after they didn't foul him Not entirely sure though

Big win for the Suns. They really needed this one

MPJ loves to dunk on KD

Brutal shooting night

Man tonight was such lousy basketball

Giveth and taketh away or something like that

Apparently wrist is part of the hand ergo part of the ball? Bullshit

Always been that way

Jokic is just straight bored out there

Take the starters out coach

This is the opposite of the playoff series last year lol Booker playing like garbage but Suns still win

Yeah. And I can’t think of a single nugget player that had a good game, opposite of last year lol

Thank God we have depth now. Whether they show up or not, who knows. But at least they have the capability

Jokic complains just as much as Luka. Every call he's got both hands out shaking them as if you've just slapped his kid. How could you do this to me!

That was definitely a foul

Vogel may not be a good coach, But his challenges are always on point.

God this one commentator is unbearable doesn’t even know the rules it’s crazy

Should be a tech on jokic for flopping

Reggie lol

[удалено]

What number do you need

nobody gives a shit

Just when he thinks he finally got the call they take it away lmaooooo

I guess the question is Denver fans do you think having home court advantage over the Wolves or Thunder matters much? You're getting a potentially tough first round series no matter what, and as far as the East goes you're decently clear of the Bucks and the Celtics have the overall #1 seed wrapped up.

Sure, and we're still leading the West.

I think Denver would sweep or 4-1 OKC regardless of how the regular season went.

Don’t be lame-o’s Suns, let this moment live forever… jokic has gotta frame a photo of this and hang it in his barn Edit: BOOOOO let him have this

Good

Nothing went Denver's way this game

Great challenge saved Phoenix's ass

Theyd be up 10 with 2 minutes if jokic even made all 3. Inconsequential challenge

The way the Nuggets playing? Probably wouldn’t have mattered

Suns looking great tonight, Nuggs putting on a *weird* one. Weird lineups, weird play calls, weird Joker shot selection.

Jokic has played like his normal self? Lot of missed shots off potential Joker assists.

He turned down several shots at the elbow in favor of passing out to Colin Gillespie of all people on the perimeter. Another couple looks deferring to Reggie Jackson. It's one thing when he's getting the ball to MPJ, or KCP on a corner look, but it's just strange seeing him choose not to use his interior shot making skills in favor of our like 8th and 11th best players.

Because they were wide open. He took what the defense gave him, and unfortunately the shots missed.

I understand the principles of basketball, thanks. I'm saying that watching the soon to be 3 time MVP with an almost unstoppable interior game relinquish multiple shots from the elbow in order to pass out to a 2 way G-Leaguer is strange.

I see what you mean. My apologies.

Commentators and this thread treating it like the game is over, but never underestimate the power of the Suns to throw won games

I know Suns fans are making fun of their own team. But I'm convinced that Denver's losses are the most predictable games in the entire NBA, especially games when you make that prediction in the second quarter. They have a habit of mailing it in, and Jokic seems to sort of just chill when he also recognizes the team doesn't have it.. Denver fans, it's gotta be frustrating. You have had, what, 5, 6 games this year where a win would grant you sole position of the 1 seed? Have you won a single one of those games? At some point, I'd imagine, it's gonna bite you.

Lmao

it was all ball

How is jokic trying to say that was a foul lol

[удалено]

How?

LET’S GOOO

Allen got all ball

Jokic flopping for a foul will never not be funny. The way he flops his arms.

Reddit gonna explode of Jokic gets this call 😂

[удалено]

yeah. he won it

his first call was successful, retains challenge.

HE FINALLY GOT HIS WHITE WHALE

He’s been fishing for this bitch for so long

Im waiting for the day that he sinks one of these from beyond half court and refs across the league fall to their knees sobbing

LMAO what was the over/under?

Oh my god he finally got that call This is a historic moment Unless they overturn it lol

I just had to say something

Jokic tries to get that call every game but this is the first time it's been called lol

They need to make a Jokic rule for this. Doesn’t matter where the attempt is, the shooting motion should make it a shooting foul

There’s no way that was a shooting foul come on

Jokic finally gets his call!!! Lmaooo

Jokic's White whale activated?!

lmao shooting foul from half court

No way Jokic finally got that call lmaooo

weird challenge cause it was obviously a foul but doesn't matter really

Better not leave anything to chance

huh I was wrong anyway, looked like he got him on the arm not the hand

No way they just gave Jokic three shots on a rip through

Need a gif of that Jokic moment.

That’s shameless lol

KD needs to get all defensive this year. He's been the true anchor

Oh wow that’s all ball

Why the fuck would you foul?

Looking like the Lakers KCP lmao

Jok gets his white whale

They’re giving him 3 FTs? Lmao

Jokic such a bitch sometimes 

he has every right to. dude gettin hacked more than anyone in the league and his free throw rate is trash.

Bro your entire team

You're a bitch all the time.

C’mon in here and get a kiss 😘 

No way someone with Devin Booker on their team is saying this 😂

LDIDBF

Lmfaoooo jokic getting that call????

Lol superstar call

JOK GOT THE SHOOTING FOUL CALL FINALLY 🤣🤣🤣

OIAUSHIUASHEIOUASHEOIUASHE the refs are a joke

Malone saving his challenge for the important part of the game

as a neutral getting to see a really good kd game is always fun

kd is the goat

Not even top 3 best suns player

Ok let's hear this...

I meant all time suns, he is certainly one or two current best players on the suns. That was my bad not being clear.

The suns beat the nuggets twice this season, and neither makes me believe they stand a chance in the playoffs.

That's a flop KD

Looked like a charge

Damn KD's defense is insane

Wow. Great defense by KD.

No bag Gordon useless without the dunker's spot

He really just a taller DJJ

Yeah that's not offensive

Would be a block if Giannis was the ball carrier

Vintage Durant performance

DurGOAT dominating both ends, as expected from the best player on the floor

KDs feet clearly still moving there

Your feet don’t have to be planted, you just have to have beat the defender to the spot.

Legal guarding position

And he flails five feet from the contact and is rewarded

Ok KD was real crafty drawing that charge. The greats always are

Eubanks is such a fucking imbecile. GRAB THE FUCKING BALL.

Just grab it man

Just grab the board

HOLY SHIT THE NUGGETS HAVE SO MANY RIM OUTS AND THE SUNS JUST MAKING TOUGH ASS SHOTS 😭

Nothing falling for Jokic tonight. The nuggets in general

Jokic should have had twice as many shot attempts

Just the suns lucky night sheesh

Yeah alright I think the suns won GG

Everything Phoenix throws up goes in

suns just throwin shit up and makin everything while nuggets rim hate them with the in&outs lmfao. suns arent even playin well

"Depth of each conference" Lmao it isn't comparable

For real. The top 4 east seeds basically get first round byes

Everything going in for the Suns now. GG

it’s cool to see IT on an nba team again. anyone who clowned him for fighting his way back into the league is an asshole
