Portland is better this season but theyre too easy to stop in the playoffs as weve seen time and time again

Utah is solid but you just arent going anywhere if Rudy Gobert is your best player

Warriors :lol: :lol: :lol:

Phoenix has Cp3 whos a game changer on both ends. Booker is trying on defense and is a top 10 scorer in the league maybe a top 10 offensive player in general. Ayton is potentially a generational big that can compete with Ad physically/athletically. Bridges is becoming one of the premier young talents among twoway players. His defense is SICKENING and hes developing on offense. Crowder is arguably a top 5 role player in the league. Him at the 4 when you have the length of Ayton and Bridges at the 3 is hard to beat

One of the better benches in the league too maybe not top 5 but close enough. Cam Johnson, Saric, Kaminsky can all play and give depth from 3-5. Moore is a really solid player. Cam Payne is a good backup Pg these days. Carter is like Pat Bev 0.5

this team is DANGEROUS

Hard to foresee injuries but I’ll let you have this one. Good job Phoenix. Now Dallas need to take care of business tomorrow and it’ll be a good weekend.

Best to eat crow when it’s still warm.

Congrats to the PHX Suns on their well deserved victory over LAL.

Enjoy those sweet, sweet laker tears and good luck in Round two.

Yep, only the Lakers were injured, it's not like Suns top 2 player played at 40% whole series since 2nd qrt of game 1...

I agree Lakers were favourites, but stop with the injury crying and congratulate to the winners...

EDIT: i was the one saying that Lakers should have this even without AD

This Suns team could totally beat a fully healthy Lakers team, the series would be competitive, though. Let's not forget the Suns took game one with the Lakers near full health.
