Let's just be honest. We're not stopping Booker as is. Even if Watson came in there are no guarantees things will change, but why wouldn't you at least try for 5mins.
Dude is balin

If you told me Jokic was 4-11 and Murray 1-6 I’d guess we were down 15. Any lead is good I guess?

And he can’t miss either… made that shot at the end now too, good it was off.

Will Murray even be able to play on his oweee ankle. Wouldn’t be shocked if he pretended to hurt it so he’s have an excuse for his piss poor play.

Dude is balin We are all asking this same question ...Malone makes no sense ...7 man rotation has clearly not worked in games 3 & 4 ...yet he continues to use it

lmao Booker drilling that halfcourt shot even if it doesn't count pretty much sums this series up. Just feels like an uphill battle at this point.
Nuggets blew the lead but the fact were still up given everything is impressive. Shout out MPJ. Murray just laying a massive egg right now. He just needs to show up and Jokic needs to be aggressive scoring the ball.

Booker pulling this s**t really is insane. Like you could be the worst defensive team in the history of the NBA and some of the shots he hits wouldn't be falling or he'd eventually miss. Some of those fouls were weak but he has 19 points on 8 shots. Jokic/Murray have 12 points on 17 shots. That's crazy.

Jeff Green continues to be completely useless ...why couldn't Malone give those 8 minutes to Zeke/Watson/Cancar/Bryant ...its puzzling

Murray/AG/Jokic shot 29% that half. That's your ballgame. Cannot happen.
AG has been f***ing terrible since Game 2.

Fire Malone at halftime .. it wouldn't change that first half. Nuggets fell apart because Murray laid a massive egg, Jokic wasn't MVP caliber, and Gordon suck .. toss in a historic Booker and it's honestly impressive we have the lead. Like Booker out played Murray/Jokic himself and the Nuggets are up. That's ridiculous.

49 points for PHX. That’s extraordinary, honestly. Really can’t ask for better defense.
The guys have bad nerves right now - especially Murray.
Just keep playing defense - that is what will win it tonight. This is altitude - suns should lose legs - just keep playing defense and win ugly if needed.

Agree, but if you’ve got blokes who aren’t firing on the offensive end, but then struggling on the defensive end, would you not look to make changes?

Malone is overexerting them with his 7 man rotation ...AG shouldn't be the backup center ...Reggie should be in for a few minutes for Murray ...Bryant a few minutes for Jokic at backup center and obviously Watson

Whistle was really bad that half but that's the downside to getting an early lead.

Whistle was really bad that half but that's the downside to getting an early lead. I think the lack of a whistle affected Jokic tbh. He was getting hammered early and just never got a call. AG got clobbered in the head to end the half and got no call. Refs have been one sided as f**k
