Monty can’t keep playing his starters like that. At least not in this altitude. They’re gassed. Maybe in Phoenix.

Jokic can’t be a fraud. Win or lose. The teams he’s carried to the playoffs and em made it past the 1st round with. He lost to the eventual champions last year.

I will never crown him as the best and he shouldn’t be winning MVP’s every year but he damn sure ain’t no fraud.
We'll let the series decide
He gotta make it to a conference finals especially with the fully healthy team?


I'm just joking tho fam

i hate when niggas shoot 3s and fall to the ground doin this shit........
when did that fuck shit become the norm?

It's the NBA man, selling a call to get a foul instead of actually playing basketball.

CP fouled Murrray but not enough to make him fall, but you look over and Murray's on his back like he's about to give birth! :roflmao:

And it's not just him, it's everybody.

Not 2 time champion KD
He's not the one without a ring

2 rings with the most unbeatable team in sports history. KD will always be an all time great player but some people will always, always bring up, "he never won a ring without being on Golden State". Lebron had to win a chip without being on the Heat and Steph had to get a Finals MVP to stop all the talk about them so why should it be any different than Durant.

This is series is all about KD. If the Suns don't win, this is KD's failure. He got to go to the team he wanted, top 3 pg of all time, top 3 sg in the league and a #1 pick. He has no excuses.

I don't think so. I think he left a better team in Brooklyn to one more flawed.

I don't think he'll even get blamed, because they've played what 12 games together.

CP3 is washed and Ayton is Ayton

If Booker and KD have good games and that's only 60 points. Where are the other 60 coming from? That's the problem with having such a top heavy team. At least the Clippers have some pieces around PG and Kawhi. Who the fuck is on Phoenix that can help them out consistently.

They're going to have to do like the Lakers and try to get players on the cheap. Next year you can maybe say it's KD, but not this year.

I agree, this it isn't all on KD's shoulders for the Suns to win. And he won't get all the blame if they lose.

Nobody's saying that the Suns are the best team in the league so if they don't win a championship, the season won't be a failure.

Because they're not expected to win the championship this year.

I dunno about that...


But the Suns are the odds-on favorite to win the Western Conference by FanDuel and are expected to perform at a high level. With how Shamet played and the bench minutes were distributed, Suns fans were not happy with Williams Saturday.

The addition of KD raised the expectations of that team...so if they get knocked out in the 2nd round that means KD wasn't as effective as previously thought.

Which means either his leadership on the team is lacking because he's not a galvanizing force OR (this is a big or) He's just a BUSRIDER on the team??

Can't have both ways...if they win its on him and if they lose its on everyone but him.
