ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

extremely mixed feelings over here watching the camera cut to chris paul walking to the locker room

looks like a groin pull on that KCP rebound and put back

would be real sad if this was serious, its funny that he can't win a ring but I don't want it to be like that

its like that every year

the suns have to have this one

uh oh Joker is HOISTING

jokic is putting the team on his back

when hes on that ball just falls so perfectly over the front of the room, dirk-esque

I will remember 2022 jokic fondly but the version of the nuggets where jokic is the only one who can score is really not my favorite

both teams 10-44 combined from three so far

jokic run at the end of the third … man

this is Jokic every time they show the Nuggets box score leaders

hahaha

do the suns.... have an offense? like do they even have one play?

no

kd is a play

it's just a circle around the number 35

its either booker or kd pnr for a mismatch... or dump down to kd mid post

man if the Nuggs survive this Jamal Murray performance

suns having to play okogie and lee to close the most important game of their season...

this game is gnarly, serious stuff

both teams look tired

okogie had a wide open 6 footer

wild game, i’m hollering at my tv

yeah the games where both teams suck can be a lot of fun

murray is totally gassed

KCP hit all his shots so it evened out

let’s go!

nice 1 for the nuggs, a battle

this is playoff basketball baby

KD and booker are playing 2-on-5 on offense as good as they are it just isn’t feasible

book seems like a guy I’m gonna really enjoy hating over the years

i don’t think anyone in the suns front office is watching these last two ayton performances like “yeah we were wrong to wanna kick this guy to the curb”

I’m so proud of this team

cam payne was sooo bad this game

suns need to find like 8 new players this offseason godspeed

Monty Williams said Chris Paul couldn’t push off “at all” after his groin injury. Suns will learn more about severity tomorrow. Paul already left the arena.

paul was great!

8-5-6 in 23 minutes, +8

:-/

you know who else had a good game my guy christian braun, that guy competes hustles gets his hands on balls (in the good way)

suns will win game 3 and i think thats it. durant way too much of an afterthought in this 'offense'

Durant took 27 shots to get 24 points that is not good

the game just looks noticeably difficult for him in the playoffs now. aaron gordon is a good wing defender but it’s not like he’s gonna make all defense. the durant that everyone just assumes still exists hasn’t showed up in a high level playoff series in two calendar years. the clock is ticking

good thing phoenix didnt just trade away their future for him haha

I still think he has one or two big games in him this series yet but yeah both this and the Kyrie trade seemed dumb because they only work if you assume your superstar is going to be healthy and playing at a high level for like 65+ games and the playoffs, which we know just ain't gonna be the case going forward

sucks for Phoenix because they kinda looked like they were gonna be competitive for a while even post-CP3. now who knows. I'm surprised they were as good as they were this year. if they do lose this series the vibes are gonna be pretty bad there and Ayton will get traded for a sack of potatoes

nets sitting pretty right now tho lol

i think you could have looked in the abstract at the time the trade was made and said that phoenix's best chance was not going to be this year but next year. maybe depth can be overrated and maybe continuity can be overrated, but lack of both seems pretty likely to be damaging. unfortunately for them cp3 and ayton are looking worse and worse as both players and assets and i don't see this management team getting creative enough to build actual depth for another run.
