ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

I think if Denver really makes 'em work they can go on a big run and get back in it

nice run to start the half, lead down to 7

down to 3 now

down to -1

the denver nuggets baby

Richard Jefferson clowning on JJ Redick: dud

Denver are definitely getting some good looks

yeah man couple of bad bounces for sure

sheesh that mpj dunk

MICHAEL POSTER JR

some open threes for murray in crunch time to really put the pressure on phoenix but he couldn’t hit them

also a truly insane pass

yeah murray is totally gassed. phoenix has done a good job keeping him busy

ayton benched down the stretch

I guess this was Durant's game

it seems like there is some shooting luck thing going on this game that is likely to regress

uh yeah. i don’t think this loss should be striking fear in the hearts of the nuggets

credit to the suns they brought it, I’m betting on them tiring out however

well yeah Booker was 20/25 for gods sake

historic game...KD was 39/9/8 with no turnovers, which hasn't been done in the playoffs before. Jokic had the first 30/15/15 game in history

30-17-17 is absurd

no free throws for booker until his last two points

I just can’t stop looking at the suns box score. We were talking about how the suns have like 3.5 good players and with cp out and Ayton being worse than jock landale, it’s looking like they have two guys and nothing more.

Ayton was pissed and left CP3 hanging 😳 pic.twitter.com/SRYjqgUt2E

I just don’t see the suns winning another game this series.

Ayton gotta go

Stephen A. and Michael Wilbon were not happy with Deandre Ayton on this sequence 😅 pic.twitter.com/07Gqtvd5gs

Deandre Ayton exited the arena before the Suns’ locker room opened to media. Monty Williams had high praise for Jock Landale’s effort. https://t.co/ZILIkcuNMD

two years in a row with this shit

crazy how they got rid of everyone else on the team but not Ayton

it’s been a horrible series for him & the idea that he can do much of anything to slow down jokic seems like it was a mirage prob based on denver not having a real team two seasons ago

seems like the only path forward for the Suns is KD and Booker having superhuman games

jokic is now approaching the 2011 lebron zone where the standards for his play are so high that he can have a 30-17-17 game and be a positive +/-, but people question whether he should be passing less in the 4th quarter

James Harden hasn't dunked the ball in a game since October. It was his only dunk this season. pic.twitter.com/GhCjGUWOUx

James Harden is now shooting 14-for-50 in the paint (28%) this postseason.

That would be the worst field goal percentage in the paint in a single postseason over the last 25 years (min. 50 FGA). pic.twitter.com/p0jOKW2Sw6

his legs looked completely dead last night. he had no explosion, couldn’t get by anybody. he finally got that lay up in the fourth quarter throwing it up from a low angle. they showed the reverse angle and he looked old as hell

and then of course he spooked himself and started throwing passes at guys’ ankles when he had open driving lanes

bam is completely erasing randle

Thinking about it and That Porter dunk was special

yeah i mean he drove KD into the earth

heat all bench line up that i’m pretty sure has played zero minutes together just kicking the knicks’ ass

This heat team just makes no sense to me

they’re putting a shit ton of shooting on the floor and are still able to play good defense

also there’s an element of basically… what kawhi has tried to do in LA — pace his way thru the regular season and then become one of the elite 16 game players — is what jimmy is currently doing. when he can give max effort on both ends for a full game every game they look a lot better.

Yah and thibs usually gets the most out of his players in the reg season and they don’t have another gear they can lock into

spo is also playing the right cards today. the heat are putting bam on randle, showing brunson tons of help like he’s trae young & making the knicks role players do stuff

it’s striking to watch ayton and bam play back to back

wow heat tuned em up only caught a few mins int he 1st half

the knicks... do not belong in this round

the heat are exposing the knicks shooting. their guys can’t make enough threes

it seems like they should be able to but also its not like theyre stocked with snipers
