    I got no problem with SUNS sweep but, they are already comparing themselves to the SHOWTIME LAKERS and GS WARRIORS

    I don't. The guy is annoying and anything but humble.

    Every team they have faced is dealing with a major injury with their superstar player... AD/LeBron, Murray, and now Kawhi. This Suns team is much better than anyone gave them credit for originally but make no mistake about it, they would not beat the Lakers, Nuggets, or Clippers if they were fully healthy.

    If CP is back next game and Kawhi is out for the series, this is wrapped in 5.

    phx is going to be headlined by ayton and booker as max guys with little flexibility once paul is done (which is very soon). if they win this year, that will be it.

    I honestly don’t think SUNS are dominating the clippers... if it wasn’t for a lucky alley oop or PG missing both FTs this thing will be 1-1

    I think SUNS get way too much credit for beating the depleted lakers ... and DENVER is always a joke ..

    SUNS are watered down run and gun team !!! EAST actually plays D

    I feel like if the whole league was healthy PHX would have been eliminated already ... if AD was healthy ... LBJ was fully healthy ... KL was healthy... I feel like PHX needed these breaks to make a deep run !! And they got all the breaks so far !

    SUNS are a fraud

    Before AD went down ( when Lakers were up 2-1) Suns fans were talking about how to pull a dirty hit on ADs Achilles..cuz that’s the only way they beat us ... guess they got their wish

    No they're not, you're going overboard with your dislike of them now. Monte Williams has done a hell of a job with that team and they play some good basketball when all are healthy. Yes we would have eliminated them and Clippers too if everyone healthy (plus Clips not eliminated yet). Murray being out for Denver really hurt them in the series, but they weren't a "joke" either.

    Cm on man face it! Everything is going their way... just look at that lucky ally oop and how they won last nite .. PG 90% FT shooter misses both FTs down the stretch .. but luck is residue of design ...

    Suns will beat the clippers for sure ... idk in how many game ? But yeah SUNS are advancing... this team better wins the whole thing or I don’t ever wanna hear DEVIN BOOKER and KOBE in the same breath ..but yeah I totally give Suns coaching staff lots of credit ...

    Monte Williams was my first choice in our coaching search. The man is all class, character and coaching. Makes me wonder why he lets CP3 get away with some of his antics.

    At this point in CP3's career, the antics are a given. Nothing you can do about it, just hope he can stay healthy and lead your youngsters deep in the playoffs. Everything else is either forgiven or simply ignored. But yeah, Monte rocks.

    Re: Covid - it seems Paul really caught it, but since he was vaccinated it wasn't a big deal and his cardio seems to be great. Given that he's back... this might be a sweep, since Booker doesn't need to both score and facilitate so much. I'll say Suns in 5, just to be safe.

    Yes I’m pretty sure CP3 did have Covid but didn’t have symptoms because of the vaccine. When the NBA announced their testing for the week, they did say one player tested positive. I took that player to be CP3.
