[@teddylabarca4565]

They’re missing 3 point shooting. Any rational person can see this. They took five 3s in a whole half. You can say what you want about other issues they have with rebounding/turnovers, but they shot five 3s in the first half and Nuggets shot 17. Suns starters shot a combined 10 3s for the game, Nuggets starters shot 28. That’s the difference. Look at game 1 against Clippers. Suns were 6-19 from 3 that game and lost. In this game, if you ignore the garbage time minutes, Suns made five 3s the whole game. No team is winning a playoff game with that kind of shooting.

[@panner11]

@@teddylabarca4565 That's not the difference. If you want to look at the "rational" difference and impact of the rebounding/turnovers vs 3pt shooting: The nuggets got 15 more possessions than the Suns from offensive rebounds and TOs. Suns shot 59% from 2 and that's not even counting the possessions where they got fouled. Their efficiency was fine, they shot a higher TS% than the Nuggets despite losing big. Given the number of possessions the Suns had, they would need to shoot 68.4% TS to win this game, which is an unreasonable expectation. With that amount of possessions, replace every 2 attempt with a 3, and they would need 18 more threes to tie the game. And that's assuming they shoot 59% from 3. And shooting more 3s isn't going give you more possessions or better your defense. Meanwhile, if all they do is match Nuggets in possessions, 15 extra possessions, all they need to do is shoot 59% from 2 in those 15 extra possessions (which they did all game) and they tie the game. A much more reasonable expectation. Defense and rebounding/TOs lost them the game, it's wasn't not trying enough threes. To win the game with threes, they need to make 18 more threes in place of twos, at a 59% rate (an alltime great shooting night for a team). To win the game with possessions, they only need to match Denver.

[@panic_diver]

Nuggets were getting practice jumpshots all game. In playoffs its not about contesting after, you have to make sure they don't have space to rise. Paul and Booker were picked apart by Murray, Gordon, MPJ. And nuggets also got more easier shots at the rim. When Suns' hard contested mid range jumpers stop falling, their offense stalls and they don't have rim pressure to generate easy looks. Nuggets in 6, but I wouldn't be surprised if they got it done in 5. All that talk of booker's defense against westbrook led clippers with Kawhi and PG out. Suns defense (both POA and interior) was shameful. Plus as the quarters progress Suns will get worse and Nuggets will look better because Suns don't have a bench and that 3-4 pts differential will turn into a double digit lead. KD and Booker can have an explosive night scoring 80 pts and they might steal a game or 2 but over the course of the series Nuggets will generate easier shots, however, Nuggets defense isn't something to write home about either.

[@zackneskov2006]

thats why lakers going to the finals . AD alone makes their D too good

[@panic_diver]

@@zackneskov2006 As a neutral fan of bball, Nuggets and Lakers have been the 2 best teams in the WC. AD's defensive performance was one of the best ever I've seen live, complete domination. We are in awe when Curry hits 10 3s on offense, AD did something similar but on defense, Grizz just couldnt score, they were shook, never seen anything like this in over 2 decades. And the lakers are the best defense left in the playoffs as both Grizz and Bucks are eliminated. I would have loved the story line of Bron vs KD in the WCF but a bubble rematch of Lakers and Nuggets would also be really special. And they both are running on all cylinders.

On the other side, the Nuggets are all literally in their prime years for basketball with a good amount of experience but before any physical decline and Jokic and Murray are both great while Porter and Gordon are both very good players who present mismatch issues because Porter is 6'10" and Gordon is an athletic freak with good size.

[@clint3868]

Boston is a tough matchup for them imo, I don’t think Denver has the perimeter defenders to contain Tatum and brown

[@scrollux5182]

​@@clint3868Gordon is great for Tatum and Kcp can keep up with Brown. Denver is going to struggle because of Horford, the nuggets usually drop Jokic in the PnR while the celtics would pop Horford who is a great 3pt shooter

[@greggperez2124]

Denver needs to at least get to the Finals for people to legitimize Jokers MVP awards. I really do hope they get a chip. He's a great player!

[@christianjohnson2918]

It’d officially make him an all-time great. That said, I dunno if he or Murray would win finals MVP should they be champs

[@21hoboman]

@@christianjohnson2918 gotta Be joker. Even if Murray is going off for 30 plus jokic is running the whole team

[@facelessandnameless]

@@21hoboman Agreed. Jokic is like a 7 foot Magic Johnson, totally orchestrating his team.

2:20 when Shaq and Charles both are disgusted by Ayton’s defense

Hello everybody! How are you? It was a pretty good game, wasn't it? I just guess so. I hope everyone doing well. Thank you.

Suns, especially Booker was feeling himself a little to much against an injury riddled clips team. Back to reality😂

KD about to join the Denver Nuggets

[@shawtyeatemup1352]

😂🤣😭😭😭

[@joeymanny]

Jokic is playing like a top 10 greatest of all time, he do the right plays. he knows when to score and when to pass, and he is just playing so easy that the sus cant figure it out. Nuggets in 5

[@BoredCelticsFan]

Phoenix aint winning this series unless Ayton dominates the boards Also: Tell eem Chuck! 1:01 😂😂😂

[@tribalypredisposed]

Uhm, Jokic had 19 boards...pretty clear which one of them is going to win this battle as Jokic is in his prime and Ayton is still on the young side. And then Porter and Gordon will both get their boards, Murray had five board to zero for CP3, KD is not going to make up the deficit on his own.

[@outlander234]

@@tribalypredisposed Jokic is playing to his max potential getting rough and using what he has while Ayton doesnt use any of his advantages he should not allow Jokic to push him out that easily come on.

[@Milan_Stojanovic]

A moment of silence for Steven A. for shouting like a rooster when KD went to Phoenix that they are Champions and everything is over. Greetings from Serbia ❤😊

[@Iambriangregory]

Hey Einstein is the series over? 8:20 if it is how come it's not a one-game series like the super bowl? Are you saying they don't have to play the rest of the games Einstein? Well you don't make the rules here buddy got it? They're going to have to play it out and you don't think it would be a shocking thing to see teams hold the home court each time? did you just start watching basketball rookie? Time for you to reassess your basketball brain and reset it got it?

[@TrueGuardify]

@@Iambriangregory Don't be mad just because the Suns are getting bounced

[@Milan_Stojanovic]

@@Iambriangregory hahahah Einstein? Listen to me boy - a used to play basketball with this guy, with Boban Marjanovic, Bogdan Bogdanovic at High school named Koncar in Belgrade, and believe me, i am Einstein to you when it comes to basketball. I am just laughing hard watching you crying here after watching Jokic drops 39/16 and extending the lead to 2:0. Anybody with IQ over the size of his shoes can see that nobody can guard Jokic in this one, Denver has better coach, center, better reserves, younger PG who can drop 50 anytime, better PF, plus very strong guys around KD. This one will end in 5.

[@StephanLamar81]

I feel bad for KD & Book cause they need to average 80pts between them to even stay close

[@RS-ol8or]

They’ll get their points. Big deal. Can’t stop em. But now they have to play all game & 4 quarters of hard D because they have no depth. Good luck with that.

[@josiahjones9521]

Not only that, the heavy minutes they will play. Book was at 40 and KD was at 36 when they got pulled with 5min left in the 4th

[@StephanLamar81]

I told ppl before the series that Porter Jr, Gordon, Caldwell-Pope, & Brown will make KD & Book work on the defensive end. This can easily be a sweep.

[@Onyyyxx]

Nuggets sweeping

[@theONE-ws8lh]

i think denver might win the chip this year with their full squad finally

[@jasonkowens6820]

The game is so different... KD put up 29 Booker put up 27 and it didn't mean nothing.. they got blown out😢. Viscous.

[@nandomorales43]

Murray post game is elite

[@cowboy7170]

Why Jokic is MVP: Gets more rebounds and assists than the other MVP candidates, who mainly focus on scoring.

[@seanscott1043]

It’s always funny when how Charles does his face in embarrassing moments. 😅

[@chilout2496]

Probably too early but Denver have length and they all can shoot. I really don’t see anyone beside Booker and Kd giving you consistent 20 plus. Meanwhile JM can go for 20-30 anytime. Mpj can give you 18-20 and Gordon could also give you 16-20 and I didn’t even mention jokic

[@JuanMedina-ml1qx]

It’s the 1st game…..I agree with everything they said but simply putting when a team out rebounds you specifically offensive rebounds and shoot nearly 50% from 3 plus makes 9 more 3s you don’t have a chance

[@williamtukeyjr3661]

Denver playing nice defense.

[@YouTubeCensors]

They had to adjust to the altitude. Gentleman sweep for the Suns after this

[@hemantjain6679]

Now that my Bucks are out, I dont really have a lot of investment in the playoffs anymore but I do know I would like a small market team to win it it. Unfortunetly there are no small market teams left in the East but the West has two in the Kings and Denver. I would love a Kings Nuggets conference finals. Both teams are great. I think i like the Knicks in the East since they have the best story and good for NYC.

[@dougcollins8232]

Denver isn't a small market team. Denver is huge. Traffic is horrible there.

[@lorenzochi7654]

I remember the first time I saw Murray play in the bubble .his shooting was off the chain. Like Jordan . Woww then he got injured .now he's back .he never missed a step ...phonex miss there call last year it's over .

It was hysterical to see all the know nothing ESPN "experts" taking Phoenix...I believe 12 of the 16 did.

[@carlosgarcia9561]

Jokic is the best player in the NBA. He keep every body involve and that make his teammates better. His vision of the floor and passing skill are amazing. He is a 6.11 Magic Johnson.

[@thaarealdeal4349]

That was a beat down 😂😂😂

[@kghallcaptures]

Jamal Murray just made every single shot. Nobody expected that

[@nakialee8436]

If Murray can consistently give 20-25 ppg this series then it's probably a wrap.

[@khalidmoosa2650]

The Nuggets are a very well knit team . N ofcourse the Nikola factor is far too telling n overall Nuggets has a lot of scorers . The Suns overall look far behind. The Nuggets might end up winning 4-1 may be even 4 - 0 . Not because Suns are not good but the Nuggets look way much ahead atleast at this stage.
