Any chance Jokic gets suspended for "pushing a fan" like the announcers are talking?

that seems like 0% chance since it was the owner and not an actual fan lol

Also, both Lakers/Warriors both drawing dead to the winner of the Suns/Nuggets winner.

Probably, but if it’s the Lakers they have been drawing dead since October so I doubt it will bother them so much.

No one would be drawing dead against a team as shallow as the Suns.

Booker has put on an incredible display of efficiency through two rounds, especially in the last two games. But this isn't who he is. He isn't a 51% 3 pt shooter. He isn't a guy who shoots 62% from the field. No one is. But he almost has to be that guy in order for the Suns to come out of the west.

Booker has been incredible.

Good thing the Hornets took Frank Kaminsky instead. I’m still bitter.

Yeah this **** obviously isn't sustainable. Suns still aren't real contenders.

As far as I know I'm the only Suns fan itt and it wasn't me doing the clowning...other than saying Jokic was camping out in the lane and getting a favorable whistle. Which at the time he was, or at least it appeared that way to a drunken homer watching from the nosebleeds.

I like the Suns theyre good basketball... Nuggets to. Not that big of fan of the Wars/Lakes. As a NewYorker we need Julius Randle to step up this game. Offense cant go through Brunson JB as option 1a is how our offense flows and RJ Barrett capitalizes when people forget about him... We need Quentin Grimes back in with the starters hes sort of like a Danny Green Spurs mold with a higher cieling but still that type of guy thatseems like a winner.

Basically our offense revolves around Randle playing good hes like KQ suited or AJ suited where our team as a whole is pretty nice and its possible that if our other players step up we can develop into a better team with out a doubt I think if our guys with everyone in our rotation being 26 and under besides randle at 28 i think that in a chemistry wise our identity should improve moving foward which should make the game slower for the players so we should improve the big guy is that hopefully RJ can improve to a pcoket pair of 10's right now hes kind of the reliable type like pocket 77's but if rj improves to pocket 10's than Rnadles game with our core being pretty set can pausibly improve from aj or kq suited to AQ suited. and JBrunson can also take steps as well as rest of players..

Agree re Suns, obviously very fragile with the workload of those 2.

I said before the series I liked Suns in 7 as Book/KD will do enough to score vs a Jokic team. But then CP died and it just seemed like perhaps a bridge too far.

You give Den a slight edge w/ HC but these teams are pretty equal I think. Phx has a higher upside with Book/KD and if their roleplayers can play OK, but also a lower downside in that they are entirely reliant on 2 guys and then mixing and matching like 7 other roleplayers and trying to find anyone to have a good night (Shamet, Ross, Landale, Warren being the 1's that are playing OK right now)


One thing I will say when at the beginning of the series many liked Denver is that I think way too many people overreacted to the Suns struggles in that Clippers series. I mean, you signed up for a series with the Clippers then Kawhi died and all of a sudden Russ is their #1? You know you're winning that ****, there is gonna be intensity issues/playing with the food a little for a team that just came together and has to push so hard to win. But with CP healthy, I do think Suns are/were the better team.

Series is 2-2. If the Suns are a fake championship contender they won't win the series.

Warriors/Lakers drawing dead to the Nuggets.

If the Suns somehow win the series it's hard to say they are a fake championship contender and I can't believe that the Lakers/Warriors would beat them.

In regards to Booker playing insane basketball. Durant is also shooting sub 500 eFG% in the last 3 games. You wouldn't expect that to last either.

Teams with Steph Curry and LeBron James are never going to be drawing dead.

FanDuel currently has the odds to win the west at +185 Den, +210 LA, +300 Phx, and +430 GS.

Contrast with the East. It's -175 Bos, +370 Philly, +480 Mia, +1100 NY.
