On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about the disappointing 0-2 start against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals. Luckily, the Suns will have the homecourt advantage against the Nuggets for the next two games, coming on Friday and Sunday.
The Suns didn't play terrible in Game 1, but the Denver Nuggets showed why they were the #1 seed in the Western Conference this season. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray both had big games to propel the Nuggets to the win - while Devin Booker and Kevin Durant carried the load for the Suns, but fell short.
Game 2 had a very different tone, where the Suns came out very aggressive on defense and on the glass, but ran out of steam on the offensive end towards the end of the game. Coach Monty Williams shuffled around the rotation a bit, but the Suns only managed 4 points off the bench, and looked very stagnant throughout large chunks of the game.
Thanks for tuning in, and lets hope the Suns can get a couple Ws in front of the home crowd. Go Suns!
