Porter, Jokic and Murray all out at end of 3rd when Phoenix finished quarter on 5-0 run.
In every non-Jokic minute, Denver should have 3 starters on.
In 2nd quarter, we have AG and Jamal with bench, it really would’ve helped having another rebounder next to AG, so I’d go with MPJ there instead of Jeff. Another scorer and rebounder would’ve helped in those minutes. Suns kept scoring off of KD shots or freethrows, Jeff kept fouling and not rebounding. No need for the 3 bench guys to play 10 minutes in a row there.
Starters shat the bed in 4th, that happens, but they managed to come back into the game after being down 15
FYI, there is a site that does this already down to the second
The narrative has been that Nuggets are the “deeper” team and that Booker/KD’s minutes are unsustainable. But in this game, Suns played 10 players, we played only 8. KD and Booker both played about the same minutes as Jokic and Murray. In an odd turn of events, the Nuggets was the team that looked GASSED yesterday whereas the Suns, especially Booker, looked fresh til the end. More than shotmaking or strategy, what worries me most is that our guys look tired/slow footed.
