Suns now up 2-0 after a rout. The criticism of the Nuggets from Shaq etc on TNT was scathing. Now to Denver, will see what happens but I'd expect to come back to PHX.
They are missing Murray big time

For a team that shoots a lot of 3s, to be missing their best 3 point shooter was always going to hurt. Plus Murray can create his own shot. Morris and Barton are excellent role/support players but they aren’t big time scorers like Murray.

Bucks get a game back in a low scorer.

In other basketball news
In order to set the record straight that Scottie Pippen in no way needed Jordan in order to be great, he is releasing a book on the back of The Last Dance.

Jokic with 32/20/10 and Nuggets still can't get the W
-
@mariner4life I expected them to bounce back. Maybe we do win 4-0 now. Then we get a few days off which is a helluva bonus this time of year.

significant happenings in the East.
Kyrie does his ankle, and the Nets without two of their superstars get hammered, and that series is suddenly 2-2
This post-season is wide open at this point

It's a war of attrition right now

- Suns sweep the Nuggets.
- Jokic gets ejected.
- Suns fan wins crowd fight (ok that was during game 3, but I hadn't mentioned it yet)
Here’s me quietly hoping the Clippers get past the Jazz, then win their first conference finals and make their first NBA finals at the expense of Chris Paul
-
@act-crusader I've gone from expecting us to get bounced early in the finals to now expecting us to make the finals proper.

If CP3 stays healthy the Suns will have a decent chance in a wide open year

i saw that yesterday, hilarious video
old mate does the bait and switch and goes for the dog shots, and gets his clock absolutely cleaned. Two punches in and he was the bloke's bitch. The mate got a couple for good measure, and then they both ran the fuck away.
Old mate stands there with his hand s in the air, victorious.

How good for the Suns? After today every other series is 2-2, while they are resting up waiting for the next round

And given the number of minutes Chris Paul played on the series - he averaged 36 per game as opposed to playing only 30-31 during the regular season - the extra rest will be needed.

@mariner4life that video made my day.

@raznomore said in NBA Season 20/21:
Simmons makes all defensive first team the same day he removed from the game with it hanging in the balance. Not clutch and not an offensive necessity for his team.
I’m not a Simmons fluffer but they needed a 3 to tie, so they naturally had 5 guys on the court that could hit a 3. Could you imagine a scenario where the Hawks just backed right off Ben to leave him wide open while the Hawks locked down on everyone else and Ben was forced to shooting the 3. Rivers would’ve been heaped on big time.
