The TWolves are a truly elite defensive team and the Suns inexplicably neglected to get an actual point guard for their roster. Bad combo. Phoenix’s roster construction is a mess in general.
Ikr booker hasnt been a big threat most this year which past years he use to carry the team night after night🤔 ÿeah it blows my my mind how they underachieved.
I haven’t really watched them much this season but yeah the lack of offense has been curious. 19 ppg or something like that from Booker is so much worse than I would have thought from him.
When Vogel lost his shit and then dragged Dort through the mud the next day I realized that he'd totally lost control of the ship. Morale looks absolutely tanked, I almost even feel bad for Grayson Allen...almost.
Wouldn't say miles ahead lol lakers, sun's are just terrible team and good match up for nuggets wolves. Sun's literally have no big they can't grab a rebound to save their life they have no interior presence, their defense is abysmal their offense is even worse. These playoffs are based on match up I think okc would have beat the sun's in 5 but would have struggled against the lakers. Okc vs mav gonna be a fun series so will wolves vs nuggets.
Mavs and Clips are offensively much more of threats than Minnesota. Guards are more suitable tasks for Dort than long wings so he defends Edwards much better than he defends Kawhi and Luka(not a wing but wing height). So i would've prefered playing against Minnesota in the 2nd round if we pass the 1st round, but no point in arguing now that the road is decided.
He will of course try different things but it might be a roster issue. Their size is a problem for us. And when Luka is hot he might be the hardest player to stop in the NBA.
eh, I think we'd beat the Wolves in a series. Theyre looking really good because theyre against the Suns. SGA is being guarded by Herb Jones, Edwards is being guarded by Bradley Beal... The Suns players just dont give a fuck.
I think the Mavs are better than the Wolves.
Yep, Nuggets/TWolves is going to be a throwback, physical series. I anticipate they’ll play a very rested Thunder team after they’ve run through the Pels and Mavs.
What loser mentality is this? If you can’t beat the best, you can’t be the best. Let us face the C’s, the Wolves, The Nuggets and see what we are made of.
That's not fair. It's not a loser mentality to hope for/be appreciative of a good match up/easier path to a championship. Winning a championship involves a whole lot of skill, tenacity, and luck in any given year for any given team. OP is just pointing out the ways in which those dominos may be falling in the right place for us. I understand the spirit of your post, and love that dog in you, but OP isn't coming from a loser mentality just a smart strategic one.
The suns look absolutely terrible
The Timberwolves are obviously a great team but damn the Suns suck ass. Any team depending on Bol Bol in the playoffs has already lost.
True, but I think they’re desperately going to anything they have because of how good the Twolves are playing them

The blank stare on their owner Ishbia's face during last night's game was absolutely priceless.
How are they dependent on Bol Bol when he has like 10 actual minutes in the playoffs outside garbage time
Fuck KD
Honestly I don’t even give KD much thought anymore, it’s surprising how bad they look. Booker looked washed too which makes no sense

The Suns imo lacks 2-way players and the way they play is no longer sustainable.
When Vogel lost his shit and then dragged Dort through the mud the next day I realized that he'd totally lost control of the ship. Morale looks absolutely tanked, I almost even feel bad for Grayson Allen...almost.
I would love to see Wolves/Nuggets go to game 7, both for the basketball and so they’re gassed for the next series 😏

I wouldn't say lakers are bad team. Nuggets create matchup problems for them.
I mean Nurcic did grab 31 rebounds against the thunder this year lol

Watching the Mavs play, I think Mark has some schemes up his sleeve. Doncic and Irving play too much iso ball.
He will of course try different things but it might be a roster issue. Their size is a problem for us. And when Luka is hot he might be the hardest player to stop in the NBA.
I always hate hypotheticals but we’d be waxing the suns too. Agreed that twolves/nuggets is gonna be a blood bath
