I still think the Suns are the team to beat in the West, but given how top-heavy they are, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose to a lesser-talented team simply because they run out of steam.


They have their big 3 in KD/Book/Cp3 averaging 45 minutes a game to beat a Clippers team with no Kawhi and PG.

As good as they are, I have them losing to the Nuggets, especially if Kawhi can come back and push this series to 6.

Similar to Philly last year, they need an off season to fix this bench.

Kawhi played a big part in them winning during that post season before he got hurt. Also the clippers have never won jack shyt so Kawhi and PG (despite their injuries) getting them to their first west conference finals appearance is a pretty big deal. They did what Lob City couldnt do.
It was a huge massive deal in finally getting past the 2nd round. No arguments from me on that end

CP3 ain’t part of a big 3 anymore. He’s a liability on both ends of the court.

I still can't trust the Nuggets. I'll believe it when I see it. I just don't think they have a championship-caliber roster. Sheeeit, Uncle Jeff is averaging 24 minutes over the first two games - there isn't a team in their conference that would be needing to play him that much.

Jokic (and to a lesser degree Murray) is basically their only ticket to the big dance.

If they can get payne back that'll help a lot. He was the go to scorer and facilitator off the bench when they went to the finals.
