Around the Playoffs 2023

Under the circumstance we advanced who would you rather play? Denver or Phoenix? Phoenix has a 1-2 punch, Nuggets are the more cohesive team on both ends.

Phoenix is done unless Monty Williams is able to get consistent production out of his bench.

Phoenix is done unless Monty Williams is able to get consistent production out of anyone not named Booker & KD.

Made a tweak to your post.

It would be fun to beat Phx, but I'd like a rematch with Denver.

It would be good for Jokic to get his team all the way to the WCF, and go at the Warriors with a healthy supporting cast. Be able to show they are real contenders who just lose out to a team that is a bad matchup.

That Suns team is wierd. It's the most 2 centric scorer system I've ever seen. Like, KD and Booker get 70+ FGA's per game, the rest of the team gets 20 from opportune looks.

Yea phx doesn’t look scary at all. There’s no shot phx beats Denver.

If they can 80+ from KD and Booker each and every night, which is unlikely.

Boston should win the East, but going to 6 against the Hawks and losing the first game to the Embid-less Sixers makes it hard to think they can win it all.

I'd rather face Denver because I love watching Jokic play, and would be really interested in seeing how we defend him.

Philly choking again

[Crazy-Canuck]

Watching guys like strus, hart, Martin, etc.., I take them all over klay and poole.

[wco81]

Hmm, Ayton ruled out for game 6 at Phoenix tonight, as Suns try to stave off elimination.

But Murray is questionable with non Covid illness?

WTH is going on?

I though GS defense was not up to par this year. Compared to Phoenix GS defense looks like the best in the history of the NBA

Mavs and suns both unloaded defensive wings for more offense at the trade deadline and have paid dearly for it.

Blowout losses at home two years in a row. Not a great way to go out.

How about the annual tradition for where Paul spends the playoffs. That's going back to what, 5-6 years ago.

So another bad choice for KD, choose Kyrie instead of Steph and then choose Booker/Suns next.

Probably would have done better if he stayed on the Nets, but Kyrie is the one who convinced him to sign with the Nets.



The Warriors side of it is that the league may be concerned about the Lakers being at a disadvantage if Denver wins tonight and has so much rest. So they may be inclined to end it tomorrow, so that the Lakers have a better chance vs. Denver.

[tal57]

I am afraid neither the Lakers nor Warriors have the chance against Denver. Unless the league is really set to pull its bearded punk "owner" into the finals. However, I do believe GS has slightly better chance against Denver because of its shooting. If all of GS shooters catch prolong fire from the outside, they do have a token of a chance.

KD KO'd

Another top-heavy superteam bites the dust!
