I don’t think any team can beat the Suns 4 out of 7 in the playoffs, unless CP3 gets injured they winning the chip.

I thought the Suns were crazy for signing MIkal Bridges to an extension before Ayton. i thought Ayton was the most important piece in the off season to resign. Boy was I wrong. Mikal is like the perfect 3 and D guy. Yes, Ayton is important to winning a ship but man I think Bridges might be more valuable to what they do

Derrick White been a god send acquisition for Boston, and after a rough start dealing with egos/injuries, Ime seems to be in his bag now establishing a defensive identity.

Definitely can be an East Coast LAC as far as 2 dynamic star wings embedded within a tough defensive oriented squad.
Exactly, why can't these nikkas fall off for a season. fukk.

Harden sitting out there watching his new team get blown out by 40 and googling nearest strip clubs. It's a wrap. Typical Harden ball dominant style incoming "cause my teammates can't score" and ditching the team in two years.

The good thing for the rest of the field is that Boston is peaking now, so they wouldn’t catch anyone unaware by the time the playoffs start.

But for sure there’s going to be some heartbreak in the East 1st round. 6 of the current top 8 could make a case for (conference) Finals or bust but at best only 4 can advance. Not to mention the Cavs/Raps might have it in em to pull upsets.

Both Ayton and Bridges should of got paid in the offseason, not just one. Both of them being drafted in 2018 helped shape the defensive identity the Suns have today. If Sarver really wanted to save money, Saric's 8 million a year salary could be traded and Landry Shamet shouldn't have got a 10 million a year extension.

Giannis really one of the greats. What a story. :wow:
Let me add to this.

Giannis had a midrange one dribble pullup that even KD would be proud of last night. The lab is open 24/7. :wow:

Shooting 38% from 3 and 76% from FT over the last 15 games. :wow:

32/11/6 in that same time span. :wow:

I'm speechless. Bron came a long way but he was a lock after his rookie year. Same with KD. But this dude came from nothing. Coming off the bench putting up 7/4/2. shyt is incredible.
