I guess last year was the Suns' big chance

they are fine for next year if you weren't being facetious. they match ayton and probably keep one of javale/biyombo. they need a PG that produces better than cam payne/aaron holiday/elfrid payton though. unless cam wants to step up again.

My condolences to any suns fans itt. I thought this was going to be a close game, not sure what happened.

the suns are remarkably tight-lipped about injuries and it turns out chris paul can't walk and booker was recovering from his hamstring injury, and you are going to task those players with running around and tiring out luka doncic. not good!

Hmm, Nuggets get back Jamal and MPJ and Clippers get back Leonard, this was it for them and Paul, pretty sure. Great career but it's over.

The Bucks too, although Middleton probably makes a difference in that series.

They missed him as a number two option on offense. He's streaky but considering how much Giannis carried this team a few big shots could have made a difference. Holiday is great but not someone I want to rely on for pure scoring. I'm biased but Bucks with Midd take that series.

Edit: Roleplayers really poo poo the bed though. Looks like I'm back to hating Grayson Allen.

still thinking about the bucks. george hill really stood out to me as being particularly bad, idk why they played him so much. is there really nobody better on that team?

the only thing i remember him doing at all in game 7 was getting called for an illegal screen, which cost the bucks one of the only 3s they actually hit. lol.

as BrownPepper said, they really really missed Khris Middleton.

Coach Bud is a bad coach and last year got really lucky because he had the best player in the NBA playing outstanding basketball and the supporting cast all fit and playing well. This year he still had the best player playing outstanding basketball but the supporting cast weren't all fit, and that was that

At what point would you think a good coach would have realized letting Grant Williams freely shoot 3s wasn't work and would change it up?

If I was a betting man, and I am, I would have let Grant Williams shoot all day expecting him to get cold.

Was really funny to see Finch's rotation in the elimination game because it pretty clearly showed who he actually had trust in, and it turns out he trusted Greg Monroe more than Naz Reid (which...fair) and basically no one else
