Durant so far isn't having the desired impact for Phoenix. Booker has been scoring a ton, but it's not always resulting in wins. The Suns bench is also really bad, though their biggest issue is probably Ayton being inconsistent. He shows up here or there, but is mostly meh and that hurts them since he's supposed to be their 3rd guy. There's just a ton of pressure on KD and Book to carry them and I don't think it'll happen. DEN should take this in 5. So far, they look good tonight as well.

And in typical fashion, Durant starts to heat up a bit and Suns go on a run now  :laugh:

Ohh coach finally remembered he has T Ross on his bench. Shocker -- if you actually play your best bench players, your bench plays better! Who wouldda thunk it.

Neither of these teams play any defense.

Given a choice I’d prefer to play the Suns to the Nuggets.

What am I missing with Denver? Seems to be more and more people thinking they will win the west. I’d pick both GS and LA over them in the next round and hope I’m wrong lol

Chemistry my friend, chemistry! Durant hasn't played a full season with the Suns yet and still need to go to camp with em.

But Monty Williams is also a good coach too

Jokic has 21pts 15ast 13reb. Crazy stat line.

Game ain't even over yet.

I like Cameron Payne. He is a solid PG.

He could start on a half dozen ball clubs in this league. High end backup PG.

That is not a foul. Accidental contact.

Some of these nut-shot calls are ridiculous.

Is Devin Booker reaching Kobe Bryant levels of performance?

Booker has been amazing this postseason.

I find this season's offensive supernova hard to compare with other seasons. I can't imagine Kobe dropping 41 on 23 field goals and no free throws though

Jokic with a casual 23/16/15. Unique as they get
