Series Thread: Conference Semifinals: 1) Denver Nuggets vs. 4) Phoenix Suns

Can DBook and KD play 4 games of hero ball? That doesn’t seem likely. I think they could for 3 possibly 3. Nugs just have too many guys

 

[fightinfunbags]

It definitely is sustainable. Him being average to below average is what he does

I’m talking about KD and Book getting like a combined almost 90 points as the piece that’s unsustainable. But I agree, Ayton underachieving is absolutely sustainable haha.

Jokic been ridiculous this playoffs.

As I said Jokic aggressive can easily avg 30 PPG.

28/14/9 on 50% shooting

Great game last night but I don’t know if that’s sustainable. Ayton has really been a mouse in this series.

He is so frustrating to watch. He should be dominating this series like he did 2 years ago. I would like to see him get traded for some depth.

BKS and Lance said they had enough.

LOL.

You really need to stop with your BS.

They absolutely do have enough to win.

That does not mean they will win.

So are the Warriors/Lakers. But one of those teams is getting bounced this round also.

Yep and I didn't say anything crazy either. Just said they have a solid bench and when you look at the bench just by names, most would have said it was solid. I never thought Ross & Warren would be DNP-CD but they have solid bench players for an avg bench unit. Shouldn't be this bad

Payne, Shamet, Ross, Warren, Craig/Okogie, & Biyombo/Landale sounds solid on paper

The Lakers and Warriors have much better benches than the Suns....

LOL.

I have never argued that the Suns bench is good.

I said it is good enough given how good their starters are.

And that remains true.

You trying to do victory laps when, first of all the Suns lost 1 of their key starters, and second, they are very much in the thick of this series has potential to age incredibly poorly for you.

Only 1 of us can come out of this looking stupid and it isn’t me.

LOL.

With the starters they have, the Suns bench doesn't necessarily have to be good. They just have to be decent enough to not lose the "bench battle" by more points than the starters win the "starter battle".

Phoenix's problem is the "defense battle", we'll see if they can do enough there to win.

 

[msgkings322]

Let's go Suns!

 

[bksballer89]

Porter all over the glass

 

[bksballer89]

Very good start for denver

 

[msgkings322]

Very good start for denver

Yeah this could be where you win our bet lol

As has been mentioned, Suns don't play enough defense to win in the playoffs.

 

[msgkings322]

Booker starting to cook again

 

[bksballer89]

Dominayton

[bksballer89]
