Wow. I am surprised at the Flagrant 2 on Jokic.

Sure there was a wind up, but he hit all ball lol. His bicep, did catch Payne's nose though. I don't know how much it actually hurts getting hit by biceps like that, but Jokic doesn't have biceps of steel.

That's it for Denver I guess.

Good call. If Murray was healthy this series probably would have extended to 6 or possibly 7 but Suns still would have been on top. They have been crazy good this year and CP3 has been unreal with the impact he has had on this team. Booker and Ayton have had one hell of a first playoff year too.

With an injured Nets team, I think Suns have a legit shot of winning the championship.

Wow the Sun’s win a championship? Who would have thought… possible. But if they do, thats quite a turn around for the franchise. Also good for CP3 if they do.

All my threads are upvote parties! All positive vibe post get upvotes.

Who would have imagined CP3 would have best shot at the ring with Suns...
Lob city, nope
James Harden, nope
Phoenix Suns with no playoff exp, hell ya!!

Looks like injury god wants CP3 to win his ring this year.

Do you think the Suns will beat the Clippers or Utah in the next series? I don't.

The Suns can beat both teams. The Suns swept the season series against Utah, one of which was a 41 point masterpiece by Donovan Mitchell. They were 1-2 on the season against the Clippers. But this Clippers team is on and off, so it certainly is possible.

I think between these three teams, any 7-game matchup could go either way.

If you're the Suns watching this game you're praying Utah wins the series.. Clips look so good.

Lenoard is just completely bonkers in playoffs, even if clips lose the series..kwahi shows why he's 2x FMVP and really has totally different gear

I love his out of nowhere dunks too

up 60 to 38, after that level of sick dunk, most players would taunt and scream, often resulting in technical foul.
but this guy, zero emotion, pure discipline

I agree. Morris couldn’t miss yesterday. Next game could contribute nothing but someone like Jackson could go off. Kawhi has been a beast and PG is actually getting consistent. Not sure how this series ends up. Conley could be the difference maker if he returns and wouldn’t count the Jazz out yet, the team is still really good with Mitchell, Bogdanovic, Ingles on the offensive and Gobert as the defensive workhorse.

Suns look to be a more well rounded balanced team.

I’m liking the unpredictability thus far ever since the Lakers were gone opening up the West.

That's the thing with the Clippers though. So far in these playoffs, they've been inconsistent.

If they are always playing their best basketball, they actually have a chance to win the championship. But we saw in the Dallas series, they were on and off. First two games this series, they were off.

The Suns would be the most balanced team Clippers would face, so if they are not sharp, Suns can certainly win.

I just hope this long rest doesn't hurt them. I would hate for that to be a reason, should they lose. I want to see the Suns the way they've been playing against Utah/Clippers.

The Clips would be more battle-tested in the playoffs though, much better defensively, they don't need to play great every game, just for 4 games in a series. And Kawhi is at beast-level right now, Utah is a good defensive team, better on D with Conley out, yet Kawhi is still torching them, PG and Jackson are stepping up big, I picked them to win the Utah series and I think they Suns stand no chance against them. We'll see.

Even though I expect the Bucks to move on against a hobbled Nets team, they take the worst shots that are completely out of sync.

With Embiid's knee not holding up, the Bucks are giftwrapped a finals appearance.

Epic collapse by Milwaukee. Legendary performance by KD.

At first I thought Steve Nash is an idiot keeping Harden in the entire game when he couldn't make a shot. Turns out he's a genius.

lmao i don't even know where to begin with these Bucks.

Their putrid offense
Giannis guarding Joe Harris????
Not targeting Harden. When they did, Giannis went for a fadeaway on Harden lol
