This series is over if Phx loses game 2. It might already be over tbh. Y’all forget that Phx got super lucky to go up against a heavily injured clippers team. Even then, I saw that they almost lost to them without kawhi or George. This team has also gotten hit by Father Time hard. Kevin turns 35 this year and cp3 is 37 years old already. You can already see a dip in production from both already at times. The stamina to play at a high level for long periods of time is past them.
That thumbnail got cp3 lookin old lol
They ain't the Clippers
matt barnes is cool but his head look like a avocado
auns lost with leonard. and won without leonard
Phoenix has a lot of offense. They’ll win some games.
I have gained so much respect for Matt over the years.
Nuggets probably the best team in the west
I don't think CP3 has any more to give at a superstar level, not for more then a few minutes
NUGGETS BY 4.
This game exposed the Suns' bench. I've been saying it from the start. You can't win a championship without a good bench. DEN in 6 or 7 based on game 2.
Thumbnail caught Chris Paul looking like uncle drew in 4k
BOOKER IS OVERRATED AND SO IS THE SUNS
Suns we’re a young, deep and promising team until the KD trade. Smh
Matt Barnes sucks. Get him off ESPN.
Booker will never be a top 10 player, he does not shoot 3's, and in the modern era you have to shoot them and make them. Suns have zero chance vs Denver or anyone else left, because of this. The Suns only made seven 3s on 23 attempts, but their 2 best players, Booker and KD, only shot three 3s between them. Can not win like that. Denver hit 16 3s….game over. Series over too. There is nothing dynamic about the Suns, here is what they are:
1. A lazy big man
2. 2 scorers
3. an over the hill PG
Who else they have that can score lol? They have nothing, unless Booker and KD both go for 35+
he brung up the clippers as if they didn’t have kawhi..that series would have been different if he was healthy probably would have went to 7…nuggets in 6 if not 5 suns not deep engh and it’s going to take KD to have a historic series to get them to the next round
Denver is just way better team than phoenix suns like a lot better is not even close sadly.
4-2 Nuggets
I don’t think the Suns have the bench to deal with Denver
Nuggets are liked the spurs with duncan and parker.. nobody picks them to win.. they just win anyway
Geeze paul George looking old. I won't be surprised if that aging suns roster does not win..
Losing mikal bridges is really showing his worth now especially on the wing defense
Let everyone of phx sun's team contribute.
But anyways, congratulations on both team, better luck next time. 🎉
Dats right dats right.. tired of dis shi….. " The Suns are 12-1 with K.D..!" Who gives AF?!?! send Dem skinny azzzzzz scarecrow looking 👀 Kardashians azz smoking Carmel colored biatches home with da "L" dis is joker's house! (Gotham!)
Suns can’t go deep in they bench they done traded everyone for Durant PUT SOME RESPECT ON OUR TEAM
Let’s be honest Denver in 5 maybe 6 and that’s being nice. The suns don’t have a bench once so ever cp3 is washed, deandre ayton is soft and don’t have a bag, and coach Williams not playing warren nor Terrence Ross is a crime
At this rate, KD will join the Nuggets next year!
Thats the good thing about nuggets. They have alot players that can put up 20 points or more, Aaron gordon, murray, jokic etc. The only two players in suns that consistently put up above 20 points is devin and kd.
I'm ecstatic that Joker made Ayton look like a fool..
Denver is not the depleted Clippers. Barnes only spoke of the suns offense but failed to mention the real problem. The real problem is that the suns didn't guard nobody. There issue is defense. No defense no ring.
😭😭😭😭😭
nothing in life brings me more joy then watching chris Paul lose.
Have we not forgotten That Phoenix knows how To Adjust & Respond.
Suns are gonna win the chip.
Idk w people wondering about other outcome than this.
Can’t compare to clips who lost kawhi. Denver is at full power
Jokic set his bar so high that Matt said he had a light night with 24 and 19 😂😂😂
Its Denver homecourt
Expected Denver will win on their court
Denver protect their home
