Series Thread: 2nd Round: 2) Phoenix Suns vs. 3) Denver Nuggets

[Black Adam]

I am so honored that I’m basically the reason you’re rooting against the Nuggets this series, you 60-year-old wannabe teenager you...

Regardless of what happens the rest of this series, Denver is here to stay. These Nuggets are going to be a western conference power for the foreseeable future, and I’m more than sure they don’t need @ChiefsLakers67 validation for building the team they’ve managed to build...

Hopefully the Jokic MVP presentation will take place in Game 3 and it will be the proper spark for a big Denver win.

LMAO somebody's burned...

You know that post you put up wasn't even about you, right? Oh stalker of teenage girls...

side's, I DO believe you laughed at the Lakers demise. Guess you can't take your own medicine...

"we don't need ChiefsLakers67's validation. We're gonna be ringless again. Boohoo, I'm getting my fat cheeks soaked with my tears"...

Gotta love our resident jelly roll...

Since CP3 says he's opting out looking for a longer deal close to 100 mil, all he's done is ball completely the fuck out. He's gonna get that check.

Yeah, so it'd seem. Even at his "ripe old age "...

I don't lol. We'll see soon enough, though...

The Suns are so much better than the Nuggets. And to me it looked like they quit in the 2nd half. This series could be over in 4 or 5. Jokic is the only Nugget that showed up last night.

CP has 26 assists to just 1 TO through 2 games in this series.

Hoping they make it to the Finals.

The 1st half of game 3 will tell us a lot.

15 assists with 0 turnovers is sick

Apparently, at least 15 points, 15 assists and 0 turnovers has only happened 6 times in the playoffs and CP3 has 3 of them. The others are Jason Kidd, Magic Johnson and, I believe, Johnny Moore.

Yeah, end of the day, the Suns did what they were supposed to do. Now the Nugs get to see if they can do the same.

No doubt about that. If the Nuggets don't come out with a sense of urgency from tip off they could get clobbered again.

The Suns are better than the Nuggets without Murray and Barton you mean.

Totally different series with the Nuggets at full strength.

People forget these guys came back from 2 3-1 deficits in last year's playoffs. But they were healthy

No doubt about that. Just saw on PTI that Mikey Malone blasted his team's effort. It'll be interesting to see how the Nuggets respond after Mikey's comments.

Most probably don't remember that Murray dropped 50 twice in last years playoffs.

Denver just doesn't have the horses. If they were healthy this might have been a classic series.

yep im just extremely disappointed in Portland

 

[Duffman]

Denver matches up great with Portland because they don’t have any big names either outside of Dame and CJ is hit or miss.

if Denver had Murray they probably would’ve beaten Portland in 5 and been neck and neck with Phoenix.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Big end of the half for the Nuggets. Still in it and their main guys really are not playing that well. Jokic has been good but has missed some easy ones. Porter has been poor and Gordon has been awful

Overall not a bad spot to be in.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sorry, Denver.
No Murray....No Glory.

Plus, the Suns have too many weapons.
