Is this live?
This is not lasting win. Nuggets didn’t take this game seriously. Beal, Okogie, Nurkic, Allen still need to go. Jimmy will be good and a centre will make this team a championship contender straight away.
If the Suns can play defense like this every night while also keeping turnovers to under 8 per game, they win most of their games. This team has so much potential, they just make way too many mistakes and need to build chemistry
Fools gold….Nuggets careless with the ball…plus outside of the Joker….not a great team! Watching P.Watson and Christian Brown shoot 3's is painful!! Gordon and Murray are clearly not healthy!!
Dunn and Okogie should be afforded more opportunities to play due to their defensive duties.
Shazam!
Christmas miracle for sure
As a Nuggets fan I would rather go to a dumpster fire than watch diva Murray sink the Joker’s dynasty…
Nurkic had a team high 14 Reb and team high 6 assists yet you don’t even mentioned him once??😮
When he has a bad game you will mention him most out of all the players, let that make sense!!
I know Nurkic doesn’t have a lot of support of the suns fans base and that’s exactly what you are playing into.
As a journalist you need not to be bias my friend, just wanted to let you know.
Have a good holiday season 😅
Great job Brendon if they play Defense like this fully healthy the Sky is the limit, the Wild Wild West is Wide Open👏🏀
maybe we should be talking about trading booker. Booker and Beal contribute the same to the team. Booker is more available but is al less consistent so its a wash. The thing is though that Booker would bring much more in return in a trade package. Imagine a 3 team trade letting booker go and getting back butler and a bunch of picks you could use to trade up your center and upgrading your role players with more size and defense
The fact they went 6/6 from deep to start really helped the momentum
This team needs to play defense this way when Booker returns. He is not good enough to not play defense when he returns. Thats why they kept losing. Also let Tyus handle the ball more will cut down turnovers
if the suns played with this type of intensity on both ends of the game night in and night out they would have the top record in the reg season right now . . Hopefully this continues to be a trend
Great show! Great job Brendon!
im just glad we finally win a Christmas game, feels like every year lately we get embarrassed or barley lose
Lot of credit to Tyus, Dunn and Okogie who really made this happen with solid defense.
It's Gorinch btw
