Yeah, it will interesting to see the dynamics when Luca has a few games under his belt, with how Brunson is doing. They are doing all of this without a main big.

The way they hit threes is a huge concern. Suns seem to struggle against teams who are able to hit their outside shots (Heat, Clippers, Warriors). I know we've owned them the past few years, but that was with Porzingis and now Dimwiddie, Bertans and an improved Brunson are there. Kidd has certainly done an amazing job with that squad.

They have all bought in to playing both ends of the floor, and with that extra hustle, it pays off on the other end. Brunson has been efficient most of the year. I didn't like how he played in game one. It seemed like he was forcing everything. Then he seemed to settle down from gm 2 on. If we manage to beat the Pels, Dallas (if they beat Utah) will be extremely tough since they have so many shooters and very good guard play.

Utah with 42 free throws?

They only made 26 of those but that is all they needed to win the game.

dallas offense is more predictable with luka too. not saying they are better without him but it means he has to be on every game

I much prefer Utah.

Dallas is deadly with their 3 headed monster - Luka, Brunson, and Dimwiddie.

You love to see it.

Kevin Durant is the definition of a front runner, and Kyrie is all talent, no respect for the game/process.

I love seeing as my dislike for Griffin, Kyrie, KD, are at an all time high. However, I dont want to see Celtics reach the finals because they are deadly with their suffocating defense and two stars who can put up 25-30 on any given night.

Who wins a championship first Nash or Goran?

Well it depends on whether Goran plays another season. I thought Nash got a ring when he was a consultant for the Warriors. But I don't think Goran will ever be a head coach for an NBA team, so if we are talking player or coach, I would put my money on Nash.

Dallas Utah 2-2 a 7 game series would help Booker get to around 14-16 days rest.

Nets shouldn’t have traded Harden. They’d be favorites in the east still IMO if they still had him.

Nash has a ring. He was on the staff for 1 of the Dubs chips I believe.

He wanted out. They didn't want to trade him

Who are you pulling for in finals?
