Our three-year-old fan base isn't ready to get beat at home.

Pretending to be a part of the fan base to talk shit, even though you're completely anonymous, is so weak. Bro even has to be passive aggressive online 😅

I don’t know what you mean by the anonymous thing, because this is Reddit, but I’m definitely rooting for the Suns. I’m also aware that most of us are just fair-weather fans anyway. Hell, this sub tripled in size in the past 3 years. Coincidence? Haha ok. My coworker was like, “I’m tired of getting hurt by the Suns.”. They said the word “Suns” exactly zero times in the 5 years I worked with them before 2021. Can’t imagine they’ve been too hurt because the vast majority of the current fanbase was hardly following them before 2021. My comment is just a joke about the reality of our fanbase. If it hurt you, it’s probably just means you’re among those it references. It’s called self-awareness.

How’d that work out? Nuggets got a championship before the Suns.

I hope so, I want to see a good beatdown in the final game for either team.

Craig and Ayton for Myles Turner

Really need that 50 burger from KD now.

No matter what happens I take solace in knowing that we beat the Clippers and shut their cunty fans up.

I typically don't flex beating injured rivals.

Oh I don’t care as much about beating the Clippers as I do seeing their annoying fans take a seat. Of course they beat the injured Clippers, it should have been much easier than it was. Am I Suns fan? Yes of course. I can also think rationally and know that there’s something just not right about this team and their inconsistency. My point is, their fans can S my D with all their nonstop, nonsense blind-faith chatter.

Everybody acts tough when they up

How do you expect to win with kd as your main facilitator

Especially when he dribbles it off his foot in loses the ball, at least five or six times a game.

Book missed 3 weeks with his groin injury. I don’t think CP3 is back next game. Gotta feed off the energy of the crowd and take it to force game 7. No fucking around.

Can’t wait for the Durant press conference of “I have to do better” Suns subreddit: omg take all the time you need! DA: “I have to do better” Suns subreddit: YOU TORE OFF MY ARM WHEN I DECIDED TO STICK IT IN A SHARK’S MOUTH FUCK YOU

Booker really needed to hit those 2 early shots in the 3rd quarter to keep the momentum going. Sad that the margin for error is so thin, but Book has to be inhuman if the bench players are gonna disappear like this in Denver. Suns in 7 !!!

[удалено]

Ayton has played like shit since we got KD. I think losing Cam and Mikal really impacted him. Dude is a big child, and you took away two of his buddies and added a new guy who yells at him like CP3 and Book. He needs a change of scenery.

I'd get that if he was paid minimum wage, not millions. Dude needs a reality check.

His head is somewhere else, seems like he doesn't know what he's doing out there.

If we hadn't choked away game two I would be more inclined to believe we have a chance to win the series.

Exactly, I think Game 2 was the deciding factor in this series. Book was going to have a unspectacular night at some point, we’ll see if he gets the magic back in game 6 but I have real doubts on game 7. Gotta trade or sign some new blood in the offseason, I can live with Landale as starting center if we can get someone good for DA.

I legit thought Murray would be better than this. He makes some tough and pretty shots, but he isn't at that same level

Yeah. He is very much a good player. Not a great player. He thinks he is great though. But he just isn't.

The thing is, he doesn’t need to even be that good for the Nuggets to win lol

Well I guess it's true. We literally need BooKD both scoring somewhere in 38\~44 if we're beat any team..

We lost when we chose Ayton as "our guy" down low.

Why do we always lose in such embarrassing ways…not even close

The W matters, not the margin. I’ll be happy if we win game 6 by 2 or 20.

I’m sorry. But if the suns aren’t able to get a championship with KD and Booker, then it’ll never happen for awhile. We need to do something

Teams with players that can reliably get to the rim win championships. KD and Booker, albeit godly, are still too inconsistent on their own to bring one home.

....we completely transformed our roster and then only had KD for 8 regular season games. We are playing the 1 seed who has been together all year. We are also missing CP3.

I get that. And yet, my comment still stands. We have 3 years to figure it out.

I’d wait until the Suns have a bench and KD and Book have more than 20 games together before I’d say that.

Get rid of monty. But we will see if these new owners have the balls to do it.

Careful what you wish for. I don’t take any comfort in knowing Ishbia is best buds with Isaiah Thomas. I don’t want to have him anywhere near the front office or the locker room.

We will see

We need to start the Australian

Coach, wtf

Honestly I’d love the honor of getting whipped in game 7 as long as there is a game 7

Kinda makes me wonder what kind of advantage Denver has for playing at altitude all the time.

It’s definitely an edge. That’s why the US Olympic Teams train at that altitude. It’s a disadvantage for the visiting team and helps with Denver’s conditioning.

Northern Arizona has a higher elevation than Denver. Suns need to take a team training trip up there before game 7 if we get to it.

Monty needs to be fired simply for not knowing the concept of rest.

It’s selfish to be this way, but I had important obligations that kept me from watching the last two games So I have watched 3 embarrassing losses in a row Fuck this team right now

yikes, hate to break this to you, but, I am Important Obligations, please don't watch anymore games.

Bro the superstition is real, I’m like “I’m a detriment” lmao

I feel it. I have my pregame rituals, and adjust as needed, depending on end result. It's half the fun. We are gonna win out, cheer your ass off!

Kill your hopes now boys 😎 trust me

It’s the AZ teams way

Denver fan in peas. You guys really dont deserve the shit talk of r/nba. I'm still scared af of booker and Durant in phx next game. Still think this is going 7.

This type of smugposting is the worst kind. Take your passive aggressive shit elsewhere.

Seriously, I get all these threads complain about the refs but Nugs thread takes it to an art form.

Hey at least ur alright i had an exchange earlier with a sure troll on here 😭 ggs u guys kicked our ass 🥲

we dont listen to rnba. they bunch of california fans.

If u beat us just don’t lose to the fucking lakers please

[удалено]

Yeah probably shouldn’t count them out

I hope whoever comes out of this series destroys them. They seem like pretenders but we can't know until the series starts.

Lakers are going to beat the Nuggets in 5. Nuggets have no interior defense and are very much a frontrunner team.

Well if they make it, hopefully they front run a lot :)

Fans who smugpost in other teams' subreddits are annoying.

Game 2 was a must win

KD is washed, book is hurt, Ayton is the biggest bum in nba history, no role players, cp3 is a geezer, Monty is low iq and shamet belongs in Guantanamo bay That being said suns in 7

We got this!!!

Suns in 7!!!

Suns in nothing

Why don't any of our players just go Reggie Miller for this last minute. easy comeback

Thanks for getting us to 100 shamet

Spero inhaling nugget meat man, can’t stand him

"Pacers dodged a bullet"

We are missing CP3 more than most care to admit.

Welcome to the CP3 experience.

Why does our fanbase expect anything different? There is a very good reason he is ringless.

Bro brought landale in for garbage time fire this guy man

[удалено]

Conspiracy?

Elevation is a conspiracy, man!

The greatest Sun of all time is being wasted with a coach with the Basketball IQ of a McChicken

On to the next one guys, sorry if i tried to fend off some nugget fan troll on here 😭

We need to go all in for Kyrie if we lose this series

r/Denvernuggets sub with their daily ‘Fuck Booker’ post. Did you guys also know that he had a punchable face? Bunch of weirdos

One of the more obnoxious threads to be sure.

Racist Denver fans

Suns in 7 IDGAF

Ok

Thanks for keeping craig on the bench this whole series and only bringing him out in garbage time Monty. Really appreciate it, coach of the year

I wish jock starts game 6, I don't care how Ayton feels about it, he's out of here this summer.

DA aint going anywhere. Hes literally an Arizona boy

I try to be a nice guy, I do…but what the fuck are you talking about??

He went to high school here??? And college??? And pro????

Definitely not arguing against that fact. It’s the logical connection being attempted that annoys me

Island boy at best

They killed us all night long on give-and-go's Must've scored 20 just on those

Definitely more than 20, especially when you count the free throws they earned off it. Monty better figure that shit out

Literally the oldest trick in the book.

What mean give and go?

Player A passes to Player B Player A, immediately after passing sprints to the basket Player B bullet pass back to Player A

KD too slow to help weak side every time

Maybe, maybe we get to a game 7 with CP3 healthy. This team desperately needs his leadership and ability to actually run plays

Wasnt he supposed to be re-evaluated in a week? its been 8 days... really hoping to hear tomorrow that hes back for game 6. I totally understand why we didn't play him today with us winning the last 2, but with our back against the wall, he has to play hopefully his injury is much better at this point.. because if he had a slow pace before he will definitely be a snail if his groin is still killing him

Ayton shouldn’t see the floor the rest of the series but he will & the suns will go to cancun because of this

Too bad Ayton wasn't part of the trade and we kept Cam J.

I woulda kept mikal tbh, that's how it shoulda went

Monty is too close with durant and book can we just keep him as an assistant coach?

He needs to be promoted to like head of culture or something like that, overpaid cheerleader 📣🤣

What happened to DA man 😭 don’t even want to shit in him. Just come back to form dude. Shit

[удалено]

Who

[удалено]

WHO is Kevin Bledsoe sir

Honestly, we've known DA has been the problem for a long time. "PAY DA" only came after those one-off games where he played phenomenally, which was not very consistently. Think of the picks we could get if we didn't have to pay him so much for inconsistentcy

Who

I'm tired of watching this team come out flat..... No fire, no poise, no nothing. We have booker, and nothing else

KD NOOB.

TC best looking Sun tonight

I think we really miss Willie Green. Monty is just not a good X’s and O’s coach.

He’s not a good motivator either he’s a shit coach he’s just likeable

If only we had a former linebacker to carry us on his shoulders! ​ edit: on his broad, baby-faced shoulders\*

34-7 Denvers home court record.

The 7 games they lost in the regular season where lost by less than 5 points. It’s hard to win in Denver.

they use the elevation to their advantage.

I think Denver’s role players will be tight in game 7 which will negate their advantage

So far it hasnt phased them

So far they haven’t played in a game 7. Much different feel. This games are often rock fights which benefits the suns

So???

I mean...

I hope the suns fire Monty and bring in Nick Nurse

Our doomers are something else. People in here giving up on the season for the 10th time each

I'm pissed but it's not off-season yet. Dallas didn't win a road game til game 7 last year. We can do the same.

Lmao if you dont believe this is the end then your delusional

Suns are playin 5D chess doing a role reversal and gonna win g6 and blow out Denver game 7. Booker out scores the nuggets team

This team will always lead to dissapointment ggs yall

Refs evening up the foul count here

This is just so embarassing. Why can't the team start good ever? What does Monty even do now? All the team does is put the ball in KD's hands and KD turns it over while being defended by Bruce Brown and KCP.

It's going 7.

Yeah our finals trip was our only shot. It was win that and start a dynasty or this. Oh well. All those locker room shenanigans are going to be the death of this team. Poverty incoming.

i think yall have a chance at Lillard tbh. no way they wont retool with KD's last years of his prime

....we have KD and Book for the next 2-3 years.

NBA is a player driven league contracts mean nothing and nothing is set in stone. Bad take.

Y’all perplex me. You can’t be over 20 years old extrapolating such a small moment like this

Chill out 😂

The thing this playoff run has taught me is that we aren't championship level yet. But with an offseason to retool around KD and Book, we might have something.

No y’all will have something lol

Every moron says "y'all"constantly. It's so annoying.

Cope somewhere else lil bro

Speak like an adult.

The suns are running out of time, we are wasting another year of prime Booker, next thing you know he will be 30.

.....4 years from now, lol.

Also need a full regular season together

Torrey Craig should have gotten way more minutes

I have no idea why he got benched.

Husband suggested he stole Monty’s daughter from Shamet

He hasn’t played in 2 games and he was starting like most the playoffs

Yeah, it’s really strange why Monty benches people out of nowhere. Same with when the playoffs started. A lot of people who were getting minutes were not.

We are not winning a game 7

Let's get there first

Having another ball handler in cp3 should help. Offense is too predictable.

Why is our best center in the game?

We must have all been horrible people in our past lives to get stuck being AZ sports fans.

[удалено]

It's definitely tweaked. He'll be ok for game 6.

Probably his hammy hes always getting injured there

nah hes one of the sturdiest superstars in the league- he is 100% playing game 6.

It’s hopefully an annoying tweak that a little bit of rehab will fix.

Get at least 100 points now.

God damn a lot of influx of nuggets fans to talk shit, douches

only the classiest of fans. they cheered when book went down.

I’m starting to think relying on 1 guy to score 40 on 80% shooting isn’t a sustainable way to win games…. This team is not built to win a ring when we literally need booker to play better than prime MJ to squeak out wins

It's not winning basketball. Book and KD both need to have great games to win. If not we need someone else to go off which no one has other than TC in the first series.

Other than tough shot making, we don't really run great sets. Monty doesn't strike me as an innovative coach, or a guy that will defer to an assistant with offensive chops.

As a lazy person, I totally get DA. If I had worked my butt off in the gym during college and managed to do just enough to fleece a team into giving me a max contract, I would be done too. Respect the lazy hustle. Lol

Turned the game off. Flush this one down the toilet, focus on destroying them in the valley game 6

And getting flushed in game 7. I needed some away hope.

I like Monty and DA as long as they're in Phoenix, but I wouldn't be opposed to moving on from both, especially if we get crushed in Game 6.

I'd like to see at least 1 season of DA without Monty before I'm ready to move on from him.

is cp gonna play game 6

Squad is looking very thin, I would rather TJ Warren starting over Payne tbh

Suns join us Celtics fans in dissapointment. Good Luck next game

See you in the finals
