NBA's script to have KD, LeBron, and Steph in the playoffs is working.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Suns turn into 90s Bulls when playing the Wolves. Hope this continues in the playoffs.

Complete rollercoaster of a regular season but ended it with probably the best performance of the season.

Now the real season starts,

I feel good about a playoff series with the T Wolves.They don't really have any perimeter defenders that scare you.I expect the "Big 3" to have a very good series.The only thing I'm worried about is the physicality if Minny decides to muck the game up.Ot seems like Nurk really neutralizes Gobert when he's out there, so staying out of foul trouble will be paramount.

Beal should always be the primary ball handler. He actually tries to playmake and move with the ball unlike KD and Booker who just hold it, jab step then wait for a double team and get trapped each time.

Booker especially gets tunnel vision quickly.

Agreed. With Brad and Nurk on the floor BB IQ raises a lot. ISO ball didn't work in 3rd once again.
