NBA/NHL 2021 seasons

[famicommander]

Avs need to get their heads out of their asses. Going back home for game 5 tied at 2. Need to sit Nemeth for Bowen Byram, need to be tougher in the neutral zone and stop getting knocked off the puck.

Nuggets got the doors blown off them in the second half tonight. Need to steal game 2 to make this a series. Need Barton back in the worst way.

tl;dr - avs are blowing it and nugs suck.

Not having Jamal Murray is hurting the Nugs pretty hard. Nonetheless, they're a really solid team with amazing resiliency when they're down. Suns got their work cut out for them.

Game 1 was a helluva game. Up until the Suns went beast mode at the end, both teams were trading blows and playing great basketball that was really exciting to watch. Pretty sure the whole series is going to much more enjoyable than LA/Suns.

Nuggets are painful to watch , Everything it’s going the suns way and pace , joker getting tired .

 

[Arcademan]

Suns 123, Nuggets 98. Series heads to Denver with Phoenix up 2-0.

 

[Fygee]

Suns spanked them. Beautiful. They ran right out of gas in the 3rd quarter. Coach Malone put on his best dad voice after the game and reamed his team.

Totally different ballgame for Game 3 in Denver though. Nugs will have an advantage with home court and elevation. That said, if Suns win Game 3, this series is over.

 

[famicommander]

Nuggets just don't have the firepower without Murray. I was really glad to see Barton back but they can't fuck around and bring him off the bench. There is no time to bring him along slowly, either he's ready to play full blast or he can sit.

They should start
PG - Monte Morris
SG - Will Barton
SF - Michael Porter
PF - Aaron Gordon
C - Nikola Jokic

Bench:
Green
Rivers
Millsap
Campazzo

I don't know why Malone insists on giving Campazzo minutes.

should let green/millsap take Gordon spot for offence . put bol bol on the bench in case they run into foul trouble . better for nugget to play big and jokic in slower pace.

Damn bucks got lucky today

what a chokejob by the Avs in this series

For real. Bummer.

 

[famicommander]

At least the Nuggets won't absolutely break my heart like they've done every single year of my life so far!

sorry to hear this. i really thought this was their year.

 

[Fygee]

Congrats to VGK putting the Avs away. Psyched for them to take out the Canadiens next.

Looking like Suns are about to go up 3-0. Not Colorado's year for sports outside of Jokic getting MVP.

Save us Aaron Rodgers

 

[Arcademan]

Suns take a commanding 3-0 series lead over Denver.

76ers whoop up the Hawks in Atlanta.

 

[famicommander]

Jokic tonight: 32 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 block
The other four Nuggets starters combined: 30 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 blocks

Says it all.

 

[Arcademan]

Bucks even the series by blowing out the Nets. The bigger blow was the Nets losing Irving due to an ankle injury. With Harden still sidelined with a hamstring, do the Bucks have a chance of winning the series, especially after that humiliating game 2 blowout where they trailed by 49?

 

[famicommander]

The NBA is fucking ridiculous. Ejecting Jokic for that play is god damn insane.

[famicommander]

They threw the league MVP out of a playoff game, an 8 point game in the third quarter, for an accidental foul on the follow through of a successful attempt to swat the ball out of his hands.

It shouldn't even have been a flagrant 1, let alone an automatic ejection.

The Nuggets were gonna lose this series either way but this is one of the worst calls in the history of the NBA.

 

[evil wasabi]

F for famicommander. Big F. Nuggs got F’ed. That wasn’t a flagrant foul on Jokic. Anyone with a brain knows it. Big F.

F.

 

[Arcademan]

Nuggets off to Phoenix for game 1 with the Suns. They're playing with house money at this point, nobody thought they'd get out of the first round without Murray. Fuck the Suns, go Nugs

Quoted for prosperity

 

[racecar]

That weak ass ankle on his has come back to haunt Kyrie .....


Bad call on the joker ejection , but it’s almost mercy move as the Nugget too much of a dead weight and most likely be out the next game , joker have to carried the whole team and you can see he getting tired and frustrated ( Paul millsap will be a free agent they should resign him and let Austin river walk maybe to philly )

 

[Fygee]

Suns are off the WCF. God damn that feels good to type. 10 years of totally shit basketball (sans 13/14). We're finally back.

Kudos to the Nugs for giving it their all in Game 4 and being good sports.

I agree that Jokic shouldn't have been ejected. He intended a hard foul, but not facial contact. Should have been a Flagrant 1, but it was a 2 by the letter of the law.
