Booker (CP) 3: 'Joker, We Coming For YOU N*gga!' The Official Suns vs. Nuggets WCSF Thread

[InstantKlassik]

Crazy thing is, Portland had the roster to do the same thing to a hobbled Nuggets team, it’s a shame that bad coaching got in the way. Nuggets had no business beating a fully healthy Portland team. 2nd round should’ve been Dame versus Booker and CP3

BTW Monty Williams losing COTY to thibs is still laughably trash

It's absolutely a travesty. And I'm a Knicks fan. Thibs just raises your floor. Monty actually raised the sun's ceiling. Crazy. I don't understand how he lost that vote. Only thing I can post it to is NYK bias amongst media.






Thibodeau received 43 first-place votes and earned 351 total points to edge Phoenix head coach Monty Williams, who finished in second place with 340 points (45 first-place votes). The 11-point difference between the first- and second-place finishers marks the smallest margin since the current NBA Coach of the Year voting format was introduced in the 2002-03 season.

MPJ looking real Kuzma-ish

Good comparison. A disgruntled MPJ would look hella kuzma ish.
One thing is MPJ is hella arrogant

I honestly think the Joker-Murray 1-2 game would be giving the Suns a problem. Nonetheless, Dame would've shown up if he was playing

Portland would be getting blown out by 50

Ppl forgot the suns went 8-0 in the bubble. They defeated the Wizards, Mavericks, Clippers, Pacers, Heat, Thunder, 76ers and Mavericks, with five of those victories coming by double-digit margins and six of them coming against playoff teams.

Add a real PG with basketball IQ and it’s paying off.

Thecoli told me that the bubble doesn't count


Cant lie they're impressive

No Portland had the backcourt to beat this hobbled Nuggets team. But they didn't have the team that Phoenix has. Suns are getting contributions from everyone on the team. If anything, this exposed how weak Portland's roster is outside of Dame and CJ.

It came down to them not being able to get stops. Offensively they were fine.

Will barton is not enough help, also coach mike needs to play Zeke Nnaji more... Jokic needs made help

They got nothing from their front court. When needed the offensive boards for Denver piled up and broke their backs.

I mean that would be even less enjoyable IMO. For the most part, we’ve seen second round Dame’s legs give out time and time again. Dude just expends too much to really ever have success by that point…hell we saw it in the last game of last series. And those other dudes suck. Denver has enough offensive volatility to put together a fluke win at home, Portland really didn’t and doesn’t

Idk when votes actually go in, but with the Blazers having two guys who got their own pushes for MVP at a stretch in time, I’m guessing that some voters attributed the success to their players more than his system

obv wasn’t a huge margin, but Thibs is one of those remaining coaches that generally gets comparable amounts of credit for team success as his best guys.

Thread got unstickied

 

[steph_harden]

how different you guys think this series would be with Murray out there?

The nuggets guard play is awful right now. Replace that with one of the leagues most dynamic perimeter players with the most elite of skillsets who gets better in these situations and I’d have a hard seeing this go more than 6 for Denver

LMAO nyk media bias. you mean the same knicks that gets clowned mercilessly for just existing
monty wouldnt have done a god damn thing with the knicks roster
they're both deserving
but be real they were right outside the bubble last year, and added chris paul.....the guy that just dropped 15 assists tonight with zero turnovers

cmon nikka. aint no other coach maxing out this roster that was projected 22 wins this year while being at the bottom of the league in salary to 40 wins
"absolutely a travesty" nikka please

Hot takes galore. Denver will win both at home.
