This. Booker went from playing with the likes of Mike James, Ellie Okobo and Shaq Harrison at the PG to playing with a guy who is receiving MVP chants. I'm quite sure he's pretty happy with the current situation.

If we did have both, you'd have a hell of a lot of green bubbles with Ws in them in your sig next year.

Yeah Booker’s been in the league 6 years now. All his friends and bffs in the league have tasted playoffs at least once. I’m sure he’s excited as hell to just there somehow and get rid of the “empty stats” stigma that some label him with.

I teared up tonight, I teared up when I traveled to Phoenix to watch the Suns/Grizz last month during the intros. I love any human on this earth that loves the Suns as much as I do. I will be in Phoenix during the Finals and will buy any of you beer that lives in Phoenix. LETS GO SUNS!!!!

Chris Paul 25 of our 46 points in the 2nd half, best clutch player we've ever had.
Play for the no.1 seed against Utah without Conley, Mitchell.
Have improvement still in us with players off their peak - Booker, Ayton, Johnson, Saric, Crowder.

Well we definitely wouldn't have to play the Clippers in the first round. I'd rather play the Lakers even though I think we'd get beat. LeBron has had a lot of close series in his career.
This Clips team is TOUGH even without Kawhi who is arguably just as much of a difference maker as LeBron. Kawhi is a phenomenal postseason player. Then you add Beverley and Serge if they are back to these guys...that's tough. Rondo is always great in the playoffs too.
The Lakers without just LeBron lost to the Wizards, and were losing badly...I know the Wizards have been playing really well, but they are far more vulnerable even though I think it's hard to beat LeBron unless you are a team like those old Warriors or maybe this year's Nets.
Kawhi is the main guy to worry about. Paul George usually chokes in the playoffs so unless that changes then he’s not a huge worry. Craig matches up well with Ibaka imo and I’m not that worried about Beverly. Rondo is more of a concern in a playoff game than Beverly imo.
LeBron by himself is just a different animal. You can put LeBron on the Kings right now and I think they’d still be the favorites to beat us in a playoff series. Plus a team he is playing against will get officiated differently because there’s no way Adam Silver will allow a conference finals without LeBron James in it. He brings in the viewership $$.
I agree I think we’d probably lose to either team in a playoff series but I’d take my chances with Clippers more. Who knows we’ve been a resilient team all season, maybe we can pull off an upset against either one.

Cheis Paul saved us these past few games with clutch shots. Knicks were storming back and Paul made 3 tough jumpers including the top prospect the key unbalanced heave over Randle. Fast forward two days later and once again Carrie's us down the stretch. This tiny point guard is spectacular and completely changes franchises around similar to Lebron James. No matter where they go the team becomes the real deal. Hopefully, we lock him up for another 2-3 years.

Quite frankly I hope Joic or Embiid win the regular season MVP.
Then Chris Paul receives the playoff MVP as Monty is holding the Championship trophy.
