No one can stop the Phoenix Suns from winning the NBA title this year

[slayer14]

They bought KD to win this championship and to look for greatness

They have no bench

[Nate rasta]

Denver beat them

[Headsterx]

They can be their own worst enemy. Chris Paul’s curse and KD injury prone.

[Eddy Munny]

I don't even think they're that good. They rely way too much on their starters. Winning an NBA championship is a grueling gauntlet and at some point your bench has to come through. I don't see it with this team. I doubt they would've got out of the first round if the Clippers had been healthy.

People act like they got Durant for free. That wasn't the case at all. Mikal Bridges is a phenomenal two-way player, Cam Johnson was a key piece of their rotation both as a starter and a reserve, and Jae Crowder was a major reason why they made a deep run the the Finals two years ago. All those guys are gone and KD is magically supposed to make them better?

I'll be the first to eat my words in this thread if they win the whole enchilada, but I don't buy the hype at all.

Chris Paul can stop all success

[Otters27]

It's anybody's game this year. Just like NCAA

[k13]

I can.

[Eddy Munny]

Lol at this thread title. This team sucks.

[bjb7223]

can't play a lick of defense, Murray doing anything he wants

[bjb7223]

this is embarrassing

Going back to his KY days, Booker hasn't cared about defense.

The Suns have a lot of work to do.

Calipari sure has wasted a lot of talent, between Murray and Fox, he should have more than 1 national title

[Eddy Munny]

Nuggets might dispatch the Suns as quickly as they did the Wolves.

[bjb7223]

[asiagambler]

Suns gave up too much for Durant. They should have done everything they could to keep one of Bridges or Cam Johnson

Bridges, he was their best defender

Yes. This is something I've observed. I've commented on this b4 on this forum.

I believe that Calipari's tenure at KY is one of recruiting players to the name recognition of Kentucky. Get them draft-ready for the NBA, normally in one year (or two). Not necessarily much player development.

I'd argue that these high-end KY recruits come in at the head of their HS class and get drafted high enough into the pros. Have they gotten any better or really pushed when they're at KY?

Go thru the list. These KY players make for soft pros. Start w/ the Tin Man Anthony Davis...and go from there.

Glad i got company in the i suk club

4 losses in a row for me.

Happens fellas. To everyone.

1 more postseason wager for me then I'm done if i lose. Colder than madonna 95 year old body. Not in the same zip code lately. Square material.

I did see the denver fans go nuts while i had the tv on mute. I take it the Ukraine war is over and they solved cancer

Is what it is. If you point finger, make a pick. Or, where is your pick. We all lose.

step back and reevaluate

[budwiser]

step back and reevaluate

You're right. Great point.

That didn't work. Learn.

Really fishy stuff today and yesterday. Big late moves on kimg and suns. Both teams changed the starting lineup. Okogie replaced craig, looney in for green. I don't get why.

Yeah been doing this for 20+ years. Times like these i get cold. Still.ok. hit super bowl, last 3 ncaa tournament games. I'm ok just ice cold.

Gl fellas is what it is fade me tomorrow if u like

[Eddy Munny]

The Craig to Okogie flip is meaningless, they're both weak links in the starting lineup. Nuggets starting five is rock solid, even KCP is balling out. Maybe the Suns need to dust off Cam Payne a little, he used to be a spark plug off the bench and now they keep him in bubble wrap... Not that he would've made a difference tonight, but Phoenix needs to find a pulse on this team other than the usual suspects.

[budwiser]

Yea agree they should have tried payne, even Wainwright who played football.

I don't believe in suddenly changing lineups in a big game because you get used to routines, hard to learn new lineups on the fly.

Nuggets open -5 game 2.

[Headsterx]

😂😂😂

[k13]

Already done.

[Headsterx]

They can be their own worst enemy. Chris Paul’s curse and KD injury prone.

OK it wasn’t a curse but an injury. Or maybe it’s the curse that caused his injury or whatever, The bottom line is never trust Chris Paul…

Chris Paul got hurt, again. It feels like a terrible rite of passage each postseason. Paul left late in the third with what the Suns called “groin tightness,” but there’s no outlook on whether he can return for Friday’s Game 3. Booker was already the catalyst of this offense, but winning four games without Paul will be tough.

[k13]

Chris Paul is not allowed to win a title.

Phoenix will stop themselves

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns officially ruled Chris Paul out for Game 3 as expected due to the groin strain he suffered in Game 2 against the Nuggets on Monday.
