So you gave me a warning for saying Nuggets in 5 even though that's one of the options in this thread?

Don't have a draft pick till your grandkids get to college

We don’t have our pick. Brooklyn would’ve appreciated that though.

Its CRAZY

Ayton spent most the game on switches against guards. Malone's game plan is Milwaukee's. Force the Ayton switch and then crash the board with both wings and Jokic. And our pansy ass team refuses to box ANY of them out.

Don't bother explaining it. I've said that over and over. No one watches apparently. No one understands. Just do this instead:

I HATE AYTON AND I HOPE HE DIES TONIGHT VIOLENTLY. THAT WAY WE CAN WIN THE GAME BY ELEVENTY BILLION POINTS.

Not like JJ would do anything good with them as well

Dude shouldn’t you be worried about getting curb stomped by the Heat? If there’s a bigger pssy than Ayton in basketball, it’s Julius Randle.

To be fair DA makes it very easy. He just ball watches and scientists have yet to determine why he randomly disappears.

The funniest thing about this series is that the Nuggets are easier to beat than the Clips. Clips play hard on both ends but the Nuggets will only outscore you.

Shamet does nothing better than Cam except he's a bit bigger. Cam nearly won 6th man of the year the last time he was fully healthy.

Like our bench is not THAT bad. It's worse than other's but you can't have a talent advantage across the board. We have 2 mega superstars and a HOF PG and a borderline all star center when engaged.

Our bench has the 3rd best 3 point shooter in the NBA, Cam Payne, Craig or Okogie, Warren, A good role player in Biyombo, and Ross who may shoot too much but a good coach could reign him in. Monty makes our bench look much worse than it is by playing who he plays in bad situations.

The Suns need attitude and pride. Least amount of overall team aggression I have seen in a playoff game the entire postseason.

I'm not a Nuggets fan, just watching the game like millions of people in America. Where did I trash the Suns? All I gave was a prediction. If you think the Heat beat the Knicks, cool. That's called an opinion.

... but typical from an Ayton defender. Dude has been getting wrecked ALL NIGHT by Jokic, not to mention just standing around and not even trying to rebound.

Cos we watch 9 guys on the court only and somehow block out a 7footer? Ok

Dude why are you in here bashing the SUNS?

You can do that on the GB.

I'm no Jason Kidd fan but he generates a ton of 3s with 1 less efficient supserstar than the 2 we have. Monty's entire gampelan should be geared around 3s for players in THIS order: Book / Durant, Lee, CP3, Ross, or dunks for Ayton / BIyombo.

Instead we get push shot floaters from our bigs or contested 2s for our guys and it only works b/c those guys are historically good at those contested 2s.

You cannot just ignore math and win this series. It shrinks the margin of error so very much. Suns will not shoot better form 2 the rest of the way. They either will defend and start paying attention to 3s and the value of offensive rebounds or they are going home with the most talent on the roster YET AGAIN.

Honest answer no bias, who wins in how many games?
