Ayton has been the driving force. He was their biggest question mark, and with CP3 hurt against the Lakers, before Bookers two huge games in Game 5 and Game 6, Ayton was arguably their best player. Hes basically played Joker to a draw in 2 games, and hes been able to play 1-on-1 defense on...

This is a pretty big if. Their offense is just 1-on-1 stuff dude. And IDK what you are seeing in Zubac. Dallas literally played him off the floor by trying to get him switched onto Luka. Utah would do the same thing with Donovan or Conley IMO. I think Zubac would be a non-factor against Utah...

And fwiw, the Clippers matchup should scare no one on here, unless you're afraid of hte refs. The Clippers offense is literally AAU 1-on-1 ball. They literally just stand outside the 3 point line with all 5 guys and they wait to get a 1on1 matchup they like, then jack up a jumpshot. Dallas...

Look I think the Jazz are better than Phoenix, but I don't get where the Nuggets love over the Suns comes from. The Suns actually play defense, and good defense at that despite their lack of size in the front court. The Blazers played NO defense at all against Denver. Even with Murray, the...

Ayton actually has had that injury all year. He initially got it against James Johnson in a game earlier in the year against Dallas, and reaggrivated it against Milwaukee. LeBron hit him in the same shoulder last night. Odds are Ayton will be fine, but it could always flare up. CP3 though...

I'm assuming Conley will be fully recovered after a significant break from the 1st round to 2nd round. If he isn't that certainly evens things out, and makes Suns-Jazz almost a pick-em.

Was CP3 healthy for those games? Yes. Is he healthy now? CLEARLY NO. I'd be really worried if CP3 was fully healthy. Devin Booker by himself isn't beating Utah. EDIT: Look I respect Phoenix for what they've done this year. But Ayton, Bridges, Booker, and Johnson are still in their first...

I just don't see any way the Suns last more than 5 games against the Jazz. The Jazz won't make the same mistake the Lakers did, and leave Booker in single coverage. Double off of CP3. If CP3 scores in his injured state, so be it. They ain't letting Booker beat them. The Jazz will beat the...

I think they'll look to trade JJJ, maybe as soon as this offseason, depending on what they can get. Brooks and Morant is a solid backcourt that will only get better. They have some decent bench depth at guard with Melton, Bane, and Allen. I love their backup C Tillman, and he potentially could...

They are, but mark my words... Memphis is gonna be an absolute PITA for years. Their core is all young. Honestly, they may have been seeded higher in a normal year if they weren't absolutely wrecked earlier in the year with COVID and injuries.

Its the right move. Simmons is one of the best defenders in the NBA, but hes a liability at the FT line. If its a close game between 2-3 mins left, hack-a-Simmons is a good move.

A strained groin in a best case scenario for Davis means a slight tear. The only way that injury heals is with rest. If he plays tomorrow, it is very likely he causes the injury to get worsened, and puts into question his availability for the rest of the playoffs. Remember, hes already...

I kinda want the Lakers more than the Suns if AD is hobbled. The Jazz matchup with the Lakers MUCH better than the Suns do. Against THIS Lakers squad, the Jazz should be rooting for the Lakers to beat the Suns.

The Lakers are the Suns' worst matchup by far in these playoffs. If you had to construct a team to beat the Suns and exploit all of their weaknesses, especially inside, the Lakers have it. The Suns young players appear to be growing with every game too... If, and its a big if, CP3 continues to...

If CP3 keeps getting healthier and healthier in these playoffs, man the Suns are going to be a problem.

I must admit... I was very wrong about Phoenix... I thought the Lakers would sweep them. Phoenix to me looks like the better team. Lakers very much caught yet another break with CP3 having a freak injury.

Suns surprised me today. Honestly, I think CP3 will be fine - it looked like a pinched nerve or a stinger. He might be impacted for Game 2, but he'll be fine for the rest of the series.

Jazz sweep Warriors or Grizzlies. Lakers will sweep the Suns. Lakers actually got their best draw. Inexperienced SUns team, then a Nuggets team without Murray, or a Blazers team that LeBron owns. Best believe the Lakers will get the favorable whistle too as they got tonight. Phoenix has no...

Lol, stop. Lakers are not losing tonight. They will destroy the Warriors. They're not letting 1 player beat them. The Warriors beat the Suns last week because the Suns are mentally not ready for playoff basketball. The Lakers are well experienced in playoff basketball and they will win by 20+...

The Lakers match up better with the Suns than the Warriors do, but the Warriors match up better with the Jazz than the Lakers do IMO. Almost wondering if the Warriors would intentionally tank on Wednesday to get a series with the Jazz.
