Western Conference Finals: (2) Suns vs. (4) Clippers

[Castle Black]

Here we go. No Kawhi. Suns have HCA. Quick turnaround for the Clippers as they play Game 1 on Sunday. Terrance Mann, Reggie Jackson, & Pat Bev are highly unlikely to shoot the lights out again the way they did tonight. Pretty much everything in PHX’s favor.

Who y’all got??

No Kawhi = Suns win

[KillMonger]

Suns in 6

[Castle Black]

My prediction:

[Slurpin]

If Paul is out with Covid and Kawhi comes back this is an easy sweep for the Clippers.

[nzahir]

No Kawhi. Suns have HCA. Quick turnaround for the Clippers as they play Game 1 on Sunday.

Who y’all got??

How do you know there is no Kawhi?

I am assuming its an acl sprain at best, so he is likely out some games at a minimum, but who knows

What about CP3?

I doubt he plays game 1 and maybe not even game 2

[OkcSinceSGA]

Suns in 6 unless CP3 also misses series a good chunk. I doubt he will. Btw Clippers and Suns hate each other.

[Froob]

Clipps in six

[OldSchoolNoBull]

There is no way anyone can begin to predict the outcome of the series without knowing the statuses of both CP3 and Kawhi.

[Sgt Major]

Let's go Suns

[baldur]

it is bad for the suns clips finished the series in 6 instead of 7, that might possibly mean paul will miss one more game. clips 5 or 6.

This series starts at 1-0 for the Clips without CP3 for Suns. Gobert first, Ayton is next.

[Azsports77]

Bad news for the clippers the Suns if they are without Chris Paul it will only be one game. But Kawhi will be out for the entire series

[Castle Black]

“Clippers, flippers, big dippers. Don’t matter Suns in 5”

[Coach Carter]

Suns are the best team in the west

[nzahir]

There is no way anyone can begin to predict the outcome of the series without knowing the statuses of both CP3 and Kawhi.

Exactly, idk what people are predicting based off of lol

[HotRocks34]

Legler just now on SportsCenter:

Ayton could end up like Goebert (rim-protecting big out of position on defense while pulled to the three-point line)

[EArl]

This all depends on Kahwi playing.
If he plays they win, if he doesn't Suns win.

If Clips can’t win it, I’ll be happy for CP3 or Griffin/DJ to win it. How crazy would that be?

[nzahir]

This series starts at 1-0 for the Clips without CP3 for Suns. Gobert first, Ayton is next.

Cant suns just go small if needed?

Cp3/payne for now, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, Cam Johnson

And Ayton is way more capable on offense than Gobert, not even close

He was doing great vs the Lakers and Nuggets

If Cp3 plays after g1 even and kawhi misses at least a couple games, Suns should win

CP3 is too high iq compared to Utah

Booker isn't as good as Mitchell Imo, but he is close enough

Ayton might be better than Gobert this series

Then the suns wings play much better defense, but they don't playmake or shoot as well as the jazz guys ofc

Payne is their Clarkson type of spark plug
