Suns are not a 63 win team because of one guy, unless Booker is a top 5 player. Suns should still win this series against the pelicans. If pelicans pull off this upset, would be greatest upset off all time

They're not a 63 win team without Booker, he's their best player.

And this is crazy:

"If pelicans pull off this upset, would be greatest upset off all time"

Without Booker, they have a real good chance at beating them, I wouldn't call it an upset.

I don't know.The '94 Nuggets & '06 Warriors were bigger underdogs.Pelicans with CJ McCollum's not a typical 8th seed.Suns are a favorable match up because they play small.Over the last 2 months of the season, they seemingly forgot how to rebound.I've been telling folks all year how to beat the Suns.You have to play with consistent intensity the whole game & crash the boards.The Suns are lazy in those areas.Once you wear them down, their perimeter defense turns to shyt.They'll start allowing a bunch of clean looks from 3.That's why I've never been brash or cocky about declaring them NBA champion material at all this year.I've been pointing out those weaknesses all year.Teams lose focus during the regular season.Come post season, they have time to dissect, and exploit those weaknesses.We just have to see if the Pels have the discipline to keep it up all game.

It’s gonna come down to Ayton, I still think if suns are in clutch time, Chris Paul will takeover. They just got to make it there because Booker usually carries till the end. Chris Paul has to be ON all game instead of stretches. You guys have a deep team so that’s a bonus. I worry about Bookers hamstring lingering in future series if y’all do make it out
