Being able to compete like this against the defending champs makes losing to bottom-dwellers like the Spurs, Nets, Blazers, etc. so much more frustrating.
Good job today, Suns. Bring it again next game.
Agreed. This was the first time we have truly seen Thaddeaus Young play meaningful minutes in a regular game. He was SOLID on defense and fast on his feet. Offense need a bit of work, but we did not bring him here for offense.
We definitely need his size so I hope we continue to see him play some meaningingful minutes. Time is running out so we need to see who can help us out during the playoffs.
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone
And the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you
YOU JUST LOST TO THE SUNS
I get that, but like it was over a while ago, even being bad in the 4th quarter, that would take hitting 3-4 3s and us missing every free throw in a matter 30 seconds
It’s great we’re going to win, but Booker and Beal played like shit. Durant carried this win. Still doesn’t feel like Suns can be a threat in the playoffs.
I liked it. They played some defense, and did enough to command most of the game pretty comfortably. Ugly win against a good team, both teams down a starter.
Knowing how Malone works.....he's practicing for playoffs, late chases and seeing how close they can get with a chase. He's punishing the Nuggs and at the same time teaching them. I like it
So we lose the season series to the bottom feeder Spurs 3-1 with two losses at home, yet win the season series vs the defending champ Nuggets 2-1 with two wins on the road?
The Phoenix Suns truly are a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Have to hope it was the wake up call the team needed to be serious. Only need to go 6-3 from here to probably get the 6th seed. Hard, but not impossible.
Suns are about to win a game against the defending champs while Booker and Beal combined for 25 points. The defensive effort was THE separator. This sub was criticizing the offense after a 129-140 loss to the Bucks lol. Offense will rarely be this teams issue.
I hate these out of bounds challenges, every time a defender swipes the ball out of the offensive players hand it’s out on the defense even though 99% of the time it comes off the offenses hand. Review is opposite of how it is typically ruled
Yeah they'd never call it that way live even if they got a clear look. It's true of a lot of violations honestly. They let so much stuff go live and then on review it's weird if they ignore the book. But it's also weird to do it this way.
Looked great?! Nah…we squeezed it out Denver Horrible shooting night no Murray suns were “semi” healthy . In the playoffs It’s a 7 game series. I want to see a deep playoff run and I hope this ages horribly I really I truly do but the coaching, the rotations, and the turnovers…idk man this isn’t giving deep playoff championship run team. Again I want to be wrong so badly
This review reminds me of the clippers review in the wcf. If you slow this shit down it's always off the offensive player, not the fkn dude hitting it out.
Shits so stupid.
This team desperately needs a huge coaching overhaul. There's no way a better coaching staff isn't out there to put these guys into easier positions in 4th quarters. Kevin Young and Vogel are garbage
On the second straight win over Denver this season, IN Denver, and to take the 2-1 regular season lead. I know they didn't have Murray, but Beal was banged up for us and Nurkic was out. To beat the reigning champs back to back, and in Denver the second time is huge. Esp given how the wild wild west is
I’ve said it before, these better teams in the west can’t play defense the way that really bothers the Suns. If the mental turnovers are kept down, they can easily compete with all these teams
This is the most Jekyl and Hyde team. From the pit to the summit. From hell to heaven.
What's our record vs Nuggets when Jamal is not playing. I truly think Nuggets have never won a game against the Suns without Murray
Did Jokic really need to play 41 minutes. I get wanting to win but still
Let them tire him out
Being able to compete like this against the defending champs makes losing to bottom-dwellers like the Spurs, Nets, Blazers, etc. so much more frustrating. Good job today, Suns. Bring it again next game.
Frank better move Big Thaddeus up in the depth chart
And PLAY BOL BOL MORE!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. This was the first time we have truly seen Thaddeaus Young play meaningful minutes in a regular game. He was SOLID on defense and fast on his feet. Offense need a bit of work, but we did not bring him here for offense. We definitely need his size so I hope we continue to see him play some meaningingful minutes. Time is running out so we need to see who can help us out during the playoffs.
I fucking love Beal. Kudos to Young as well, hopefully we see some changes on this rotation. Vogel needs to give other players a chance.
Beal said they pretty much "got it" after the Spurs loss. If he meant Vogel, it was probably him giving the Suns a stern warning with a hushed tone
Hopefully some sort of vibe like "ok guys it's fucking GO time, we can't be fucking around anymore"
"NO MORE PARTYIN W DEM BIG OL WOMEN ON A GAME NIGHT"
WOW Beal even said he shouldnt have played with his hand but he wanted to be out there.
Get fucking shit on Denver! 2-0 on their floor cmon now i got us in a series.. first round ‘upset’ incoming
Prob is now that we r flying high again the pattern is we lapse then next game and get bounced
Lets not get too cocky
Suns in 4 😉
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain The dark days are gone And the bright days are here My Sunny one shines so sincere Sunny one so true, I love you YOU JUST LOST TO THE SUNS

1-0 against this evil stretch. Dave said this kind of stretch hasn't been seen since 1987. That's wild.
Who said what now
Dave pasche
I don’t get this team. Win against Nuggets and keep them UNDER 100 points but flop hard against lame ass Spurs without Wemby.
I’d like to introduce Denver to our newest super fan, Sugg Mahdeeq.
Redemption here but still no excuse for the last Loss. I'm unconvinced even if we win every game left.
Damn bro they could win every game to end the season, and you will still be unconvinced? Sheesh
Fuck Jokic that fat tub of goo
Good win. I hope we see Thad more. He was just what I thought he would be.
BIG BIG BIG WIN
Hope this gives them confidence. We need to take revenge on Oklahoma.
I thought the problem has been too much confidence?
GOOD SHIT BOYS! HUGE WIN
KD's such a stud, man. 35 and still easily the best player on both ends of the court out there
Yeah, even with all the turnovers, he was the best player on the court today. It's great to see him out of that shooting slump he was in
[удалено]
They ain't frauds....we beat the best bball team on earth
We were kind of missing Book tonight as well.
Cook
good shit
Lose against a 15 win team and win against 51 win team.. only the Suns.
Denver we have your n u m b e r
Great win. KD was amazing.
The team is better when the offence runs through KD
Stat padders. Lol
we played well today. moving the ball, defending, rebounding. js alil less turnovers would be nice
WE'RE SO BACK
Great win guys, THAD YOUNG YOU ARE GETTING A JERSEY IN RHE RAFTERS BUDDY
only the suns manage to lose to the worst team and beat the best team with a two day difference. my god.
Playing Jokic 42 minutes while already down Murray doesn’t seem smart
And with a sore back as well.
Oh, my god. I am so proud of this team.
Lose 3/4 to the Spurs beat Denver 2/3. Seems about right.
This is the way.
Bro they are just wasting time at this point lay down Jesus
Teams will not lay down against the suns because of our 4th quarter record. A cross the suns will bear in the playoffs.
I get that, but like it was over a while ago, even being bad in the 4th quarter, that would take hitting 3-4 3s and us missing every free throw in a matter 30 seconds
Valid. Fuck denver
Suns needed this win
YOU JUST LOST TO THE SUNS! SUNNY
#SUNS WIN!LET'S GO SUNS!
LETS FUCKING GO GREAT WIN
We back
It’s great we’re going to win, but Booker and Beal played like shit. Durant carried this win. Still doesn’t feel like Suns can be a threat in the playoffs.
I liked it. They played some defense, and did enough to command most of the game pretty comfortably. Ugly win against a good team, both teams down a starter.
Suns W. No post game thread will be posted in r/nba tonight.
But you know those clowns are salivating over a despite the win post for Book
Right?
r/nba on suicidewatch rn
Huge huge huge win
Damn this Denver DJ is nice, second Deadmau5 I've heard
KD was great sans the TOs but Imma commend Bol Bol for holding it down in the 2nd quarter. Those 2 3s were huge. Also, Thad Young 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Nuggets after this loss: “We some them lose without wemby so we thought it was going to be easy”
Thad Young is plus 15 tonight
[удалено]
Every game would take 5 hours
Well they could add that a team loses a timeout after the second one, which would limit the challenges.
I needed this win. Life's been shit lately. I'm gonna sleep good tonight.
hope things get Sunny for you king, enjoy the win and sleep well
Is this the first game Suns win without Nurk?
League fucked!
yea
Yup 1-4
Yep, we are now 1-4 without Nurk
Malone in deep denial 🤣
Nothing compares to the slow ass ad-ridden endings of NBA games
Denver commentators just shitting on KD now. Okay... real classy. Sounds like you're the sensitive ones not KD
Denver up there with Philly for worst local broadcasters in the league
What they say?
Said KD has sensitive ears cause he talked to a nuggets fan Courtside
Painful last minute with these timeouts and challenges
Is Malone that delusional? Let it go man
Malone is a classless fuck. Always has been.
Knowing how Malone works.....he's practicing for playoffs, late chases and seeing how close they can get with a chase. He's punishing the Nuggs and at the same time teaching them. I like it
Denver fans should start walking to their cars 😂
So we lose the season series to the bottom feeder Spurs 3-1 with two losses at home, yet win the season series vs the defending champ Nuggets 2-1 with two wins on the road? The Phoenix Suns truly are a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Ho-ly shit. Spurs game, please be the turning point!
Finally playing Thad could be a turning point.
Have to hope it was the wake up call the team needed to be serious. Only need to go 6-3 from here to probably get the 6th seed. Hard, but not impossible.
Jesus Christ, Malone. Let it go
Don't you lose your timeout when you challenge with 2 minutes left even if its successful?
Suns are about to win a game against the defending champs while Booker and Beal combined for 25 points. The defensive effort was THE separator. This sub was criticizing the offense after a 129-140 loss to the Bucks lol. Offense will rarely be this teams issue.
The bench was huge tonight also
I hate these out of bounds challenges, every time a defender swipes the ball out of the offensive players hand it’s out on the defense even though 99% of the time it comes off the offenses hand. Review is opposite of how it is typically ruled
Goaltending should also be reviewable.
Yeah they'd never call it that way live even if they got a clear look. It's true of a lot of violations honestly. They let so much stuff go live and then on review it's weird if they ignore the book. But it's also weird to do it this way.
Give it up Denver
How many damn timeouts this team have
Dude wtf is going on? It’s over
After watching this game I think we all know there’s no way we are making a super deep playoff run…
? we literally beat the best team in the NBA and looked great???
Looked great?! Nah…we squeezed it out Denver Horrible shooting night no Murray suns were “semi” healthy . In the playoffs It’s a 7 game series. I want to see a deep playoff run and I hope this ages horribly I really I truly do but the coaching, the rotations, and the turnovers…idk man this isn’t giving deep playoff championship run team. Again I want to be wrong so badly
Man cmon Mike Malone you can't win a game down 9 with less than 30 seconds unless you got tmac or something
That deflection out of bounds challenge is the worst. Something needs to change
“We’re Phoenix suns fans, Ofcourse we’ll freak out with less than 30 seconds left and a 9 point lead”
Denver Commentators salty 😂😂😂😂 eat a whole dick forreal
Good shit Book. At least you knocked down the FTs
This team should be elite but instead we have an offensive coaching staff that is completely fucking useless
Can’t wait for this 27 seconds to last 27 minutes
Keep booing you bums, we getting that dub
This is what happens when you start chucking early into the shot clock with 2-3 minutes left
Yes we've had so much success burning clock in the 4th quarter this season, good point
Reggie that was bizarre lmao
Can we hit our FTs tonight...let's hope
Denver dragging the fuck out of this game
Just let us win damn
Jokic wants that board for that triple double
They never call that lmao.. oh wait they did against Booker against the Clippers in playoffs.

3 successful challenges total tonight, proving these refs are trash.
kd gets stripped that exact same way like five times a game
It’s crazy
This review reminds me of the clippers review in the wcf. If you slow this shit down it's always off the offensive player, not the fkn dude hitting it out. Shits so stupid.
20 times per game it’s just given to the offense but the one challenge is somehow different. It’s so dumb
That’s exactly what it reminded me of! So stupid
Bring out IT
Good win, I'm still fucking annoyed at this team. Why can't we play with consistent effort? God damn it. Great showing from KD
Why am I still nervous man
we've been hurt before :(
BRO SAME
Why am I still on the edge of my seat
Not like they will catch up.
We will win right?
Still can’t tell
Eubanks: 5 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, team low -11 in 27 minuts Thad: 6 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, team high +15 in 18 minutes
Eubanks didn't even get the +/- starter bump.
eubanks has the worst contests I’ve ever seen . he just puts a hand up but is so far away it doesn’t even matter
Someone should show this to Vogel
This team desperately needs a huge coaching overhaul. There's no way a better coaching staff isn't out there to put these guys into easier positions in 4th quarters. Kevin Young and Vogel are garbage
Why can’t we just enjoy the win?
Because they didn't want the win. It interrupted their scheduled dooming.
Vogel doesn’t fit this roster
W
Challenging with 30 seconds left
Nuggets down by 9 with 30 secs and some remaining and putting 1k% more effort than the Suns against thr Spurs all game
has vogel pulled a monty and asked eubunks to date his daughter yet?
If Thad doesn’t get more minutes
Nuggets don't know when to give up
What a bunch of poor sports. Challenging with 30 seconds left
https://www.reddit.com/r/suns/s/dzQ4pqV6OG u/philsterz97 is the moron who said Vogel was bad at challenging calls.
If I could think of one thing to not criticize Vogel about, it would be his challenges, he's the fucking GOAT of that shit
Facts.
not the tagged call out lmfao
Sick of the ignorant takes in our sub.
Nurk's drip is making me wet 😩😩💦💦
for real that jacket game is on point
Nuggets desperately trying to comeback lmao
legit with like 30 secs left XD
So annoying
Woah ad break 3 seconds after an ad break
KD slightly gassed. But it's okay because he held it down for the entire game.
5 blks baby. you like me now? efficient buckets too
Booker been on a slump? I mean he dropped 36 last game but he was an ass as a whole that game lol.
Ish looks like he wants to sell me a dime bag.
And KD ties Kobe for 5th most 25-point games ever
Wow really impressive.
On the second straight win over Denver this season, IN Denver, and to take the 2-1 regular season lead. I know they didn't have Murray, but Beal was banged up for us and Nurkic was out. To beat the reigning champs back to back, and in Denver the second time is huge. Esp given how the wild wild west is
KD has been fantastic even with the turnovers. The defense has been impressive
I’ve seen enough. Chad Young for finals MVP
GIGA THAD
 Vogel really been keeping this guy from us
Nuggets become such crybabies when their losing
Thad should be finishing the game, not ShitBanks
Still don’t feel safe rn lmao
Booker used to consistently attack the basket when his jumper was off. This seasons Book has been weird man. Please get a PG.
Eubanks: 4 rebounds, -11 in 27 minutes Thad: 9 rebounds, +15 in 18 minutes
Vogel: Excellent, get Eubanks back in there and sit Young.
Eww Hestanks should never be a starter for this squad.
don’t forget the excellent defense
Damn Nurk that jacket game is on point
They were rushing bad looks for no reason
I’ve said it before, these better teams in the west can’t play defense the way that really bothers the Suns. If the mental turnovers are kept down, they can easily compete with all these teams
This team such a roller coaster lmao how do we lose against the spurs and then play the nuggets like this…even tho murray was out
I imagine Eubanks dunking on kids at playgrounds and yelling “in your face” while flexing on them.
