And did you watch the game? Harden was dreadful. All while Embiid was the primary focus of the Celtics defense. The Celtics played better as a team all around, but Harden did Philly no favors.

So I have a weird obsession with Embiid. Who is actually playing today.

Yet you don't have a Weird obsessions with Simmons? You constantly bring up?

Right. Gotcha.

Denver are playing pretty well, but Phoenix are playing way better.

Denver gonna need some stops.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 10:50 PM

Denver not rolling over yet. MPJ and Gordon did very little offensively in the first half...if either starts to get hot this'll be a game.

rhigh2390 · 05-05-2023, 10:55 PM

I love watching Jokic' straight on 3s. Such a long windup and back behind his head, then it just drops right through the net lol

daeve · 05-05-2023, 10:56 PM

deficit erased, great game now

Really incredible to watch them keep coming.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 10:59 PM

lol how is Booker complaining? He pulled down Gordon from his thighs, like dude just own it.

Vdm2018 · 05-05-2023, 11:01 PM

Nuggets and suns need to take it to game 7

No thank you.

ninjacookies · 05-05-2023, 11:07 PM

Wow.

Monty giving Mr. TopShot and Shamet burn.

NeedChapmans · 05-05-2023, 11:10 PM

11-11.

Phoenix 4th quarter W. 12-12.

NeedChapmans · 05-05-2023, 11:19 PM

Each team in this series has won six quarters. Home team all even quarters / road team all odd quarters.

Amazing.

jbarnett83 · 05-05-2023, 11:27 PM

Book with 39 points and no FTs is pretty amazing. Durant is the only player on the Suns to shoot a ft tonight

daeve · 05-05-2023, 11:29 PM

ridic call on the Shamet bullshid

daeve · 05-05-2023, 11:30 PM

should be flagrant on Payne

BGT Masters · 05-05-2023, 11:32 PM

Very odd officiating in this game that’s for sure. Especially the last couple minutes.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 11:33 PM

"common foul" lmao

drobfan8 · 05-05-2023, 11:37 PM

Denver hanging around like this, with Phoenix playing for their season, tells me they're a legit contender.

ninjacookies · 05-05-2023, 11:43 PM

Ayton's the NFT version of AD.

KD essentially switched coasts to play 2-man ball for the same team.

daeve · 05-05-2023, 11:44 PM

MPJ just baptized KD

ninjacookies · 05-05-2023, 11:45 PM

Amazing what happens when you actually play your bench scorers. Mind blowing really.

Yep, Jokic doesn't even look frustrated, didn't even look mad at Payne after taking a shoulder to the nuts - he looks focused.

I think Phx pulls it out tonight, but like how Denver is handling it.

The Accountant · 05-05-2023, 11:48 PM

Denver played good to hang in. Phoenix just wanted it (needed it?) more tonight. Denver going to win this series though

We basically have four 2-1 Series in the quarterfinals right now. Hard to ask for much more as a basketball fan.

ninjacookies · 05-05-2023, 11:50 PM

At this point I think Phoenix may be better with Payne starting. You can see the immediate difference in offensive pace. Team also functions much better when KD's a distributor.
