As for the Suns, they don't stand a chance against the Nuggets. It will be a quick series.


I was ready to stop watching our games if Doc returned as a coach after the bubble, and I'm getting there again if we start next season with Morris still on our roster. Not saying he didn't try his best, it's not even his fault for being thrown out there so much, but the time has come to part ways.

If Nuggets can stay healthy and get their act together on defense, they're definitely the favorites, but the Suns might have one big series in them before the lack of depth and heavy minutes for the stars really start hurting.

It's strange because a lot of our wing players are known as good defenders but they did nothing on their perimeter players all series. Again, not to absolve the highest paid players but I'd love to see an a+ defender on the team.

Ya'll believe in that guy way too much. His schtick doesn't really work in the end once all the smoke clears. Minny and the Lakers wasted no time in getting rid of him. Good rah rah guy and he did get under the opponents skin once in a while but his defense is way overrated.

The idea of Pat Bev is way better than Pat Bev the player haha

I totally agree- he couldn't even stay on the court against Doncic in 21.

He would have just fouled out and/or gotten kicked out for dirty plays. His is not a great defensive player.

Season over.

Marcus Morris is to blame. And Doc Rivers.

Case closed. Glad we cleared that up. Thanks for playing, see you next year.

Yea, we had Pat Bev last time, the little older guy on Phoenix closed us out with 40+ and Bev got mad, not sure he's the guy to cite here for making a difference.

After these 5 games against Phoenix I will never say another bad word about Brodie. Dude gave it his all and then some. I hope the Clippers re sign him.

Pat was yet another guy who was usually on the bench in a suit when it mattered. Either that, or he'd get ejected over something stupid at the worst possible times.

In the press conference last night, he definitely made it sound like he was open to staying. he said it is his first time ever being in a true free agency situation, so he was going to take some time to evaluate the situation. Ultimately, he has made a lot of money over the years, so he may value being in L.A. with guys he likes over money elsewhere. The Ty Lue situation will probably be a factor.

His defense was a great unanticipated addition. A full off-season together with a chip on their shoulders may be what is needed.
