What Playoff Scenario Would You Pick For The Phoenix Suns?



What Playoff Scenario Would You Pick For The Phoenix Suns?

Because of what we’ve been through the fact that we’re still talking about maybe communication issues or maybe chemistry issues or whatever issues I’m not fully bought in on the fact that just Health alone will take them all the way there this year MCO moving on to the fourth one another team one a guaranteed trip to the Western Conference Finals or guaranteed to stay fully healthy for the entire person who St you start I’m starting this is easy full health oh full health okay yeah because if I make it to the

Western Conference Finals but I ain’t got one of the big three what are we doing if we make it to the finals and yeah I I full health because at full health I think they can get to the Western Conference Finals so see I want a fully healthy team I’m not surprised

That you picked fully healthy whatsoever because I think uh this or that question basically asks you how much do you believe in the Suns okay that’s fair that’s essentially the question that you’re being asked here because if you’re fully healthy the entire postseason do you think that a

Fully healthy Sun Squad as built and constructed right now with all the ups and flows the uh issues that they’ve been dealing with that we literally talked about at the beginning of this podcast do you think they can make it to the Western Conference Finals but that’s what you’re that’s the question being

Asked here sort of yes I I mean I’m taking the Conference Finals like guarantee yeah cuz it Doesn’t if you make it to the Conference Finals that doesn’t necessarily mean you are not healthy or that you can’t stay healthy no it’s saying you’re not going to be healthy no it’s not it’s saying

Guaranteed you’re in the Conference Finals so what’s the damn so what’s the damn question because you could get hurt like that you’re not guaranteed to be man y it’s basically the only thing in this scenario the only thing in this scenario that we know is that they made the

Conference Finals or the only thing that we know in this scenario is that they stayed healthy I’m taking the yeah everything else we don’t know what the circumstances are I’m taking the Conference Finals because they won the West in a conference that has the Thunder the nuggets the Clippers the

Pelicans the Mavs who have been our tormentors you were in the finals you’re in the NBA Finals made to the Western Conference Finals it doesn’t say made it okay you’ve made it to the Western Conference Final I would take that right now because right now this team is not

Guaranteed to make it out of the first round I like that’s where we’re at right now I would absolutely take a conference final why does this feel like Eric just want hey how can we find every moment that’s PTSD triggering uh to to espo today because Trigg because to me it’s

It healthy the entire playoff run because think about the history of the Suns let’s go to 9293 I’ll go back because I’m supposed to be the history guy sure on this show right Cedric sabalos is out injured broken foot game six what’s the conver finals they that completely changes the trajectory they

Don’t win in part because they’re missing a guy that’s one of the better Defenders that can score right you go into all the Nash era think about uh you know Joe Johnson breaking his face yeah like freaking breaking his face we can go more recently think about uh

Everything that happened with Chris Paul in the playoffs Devin Booker’s hammy in the finals co co or whatever the hell happened and and Booker’s injury against the Pelicans to me I want to know I’m going to be fully healthy and I roll the dice to see what happens because I think

I have a better chance if I’m guaranteed that I can catch that lightning in a bottle that magic could happen that something we’ve never seen could be accomplished uh with my luck if you choose the Western Conference Final that day Devin Booker breaks his leg Yousef nurkic everything that he got hurt falls

Off of him and then Brad Beal realizes his back was never healed Kevin Durant’s out there going I got to do all this by myself in the Western Conference Finals that’s the way it plays out I told you that was what was gonna happen I know but I’m just like an automatic

You’re in the Conference Finals you’re not gonna take that you could be fully healthy and get sent home in the first round I read the question wrong you could be perfectly healthy and get your ass sent home in the first round none of it matters at that point yeah

But at least that’s just bad basketball kicked me out not not the basketball gods give me the scroogie once again and you just said control what you can control there’s no control over but you just said the Suns had a better season last year than the Lakers just because

The Lakers made the Western Conference Finals so so because because we were talking about quality of opponent there don’t twist my argument make it make sense for your weird thing but what if your quality of opponent in the first two rounds is bad and then you get to

The there is no bad quality of opponent in the first round look at who they’re going to be playing you get an injured Minnesota and a young OKC team that PA is number one in the west they’re not I would not they would be favored against

The suns in the series but I’m saying I think I think the Suns beat them G I mean maybe I think the Suns beat OKC I think they beat Min I think the only teams but they’re not a pushover by any means there’s there is no easy there’s

No easy there’s no easy pass we can agree that Minnesota’s a much easier path than it was they’re the pre they’re the preferred Target yes yeah so and then OKC P yeah I just think just be healthy please don’t I can’t take an injury ending a play Believe in as

Basketball teams if they’re healthy I believe they can get to the Conference Finals I don’t need I don’t need them to get the automatic bid I think they can make it there so that’s I’m not sure that I’m fully bought in on that just because of what we’ve seen when The Big

Three is out there together and it’s been minim minimal games compared to what we would have liked to see this season now if we had gone back like the historic run the suns were on what year was that 2122 a 64 win yeah 64 win team

That I would take Health 100% because I was super confident in that team so Health 100% the 64 win team I’m not as confident in this team and I’m not saying that they can’t do it my confidence personally is a little bit Rocky so I’m going to take a guarantee

My problem because that would make me feel better my problem is I I I’m I’m gonna say this again I think the suns are winning 50 games I they’re gonna win they’re gonna win these two San Antonio and I do think they can go seven and

Three in the last 10 and we could be sitting here looking at a 50- win basketball team with all the they went through which is not something to sniff at it’s not something to just say oh they won 50 games my problem is the reason why they only won 50 games is

Because of their health if they were healthy the whole year this might be a 55 win team and so that’s why I’m saying I don’t know how we don’t know no but that what I’m saying is that’s why this question is tough for me because we’ve been crying

About injuries all year now you give me the automatic health card and we don’t want it because I’m not I’m not sold that they’ve had enough time that just being healthy automatically gets them to the Western Conference Finals that’s what I’m saying because of what we’ve been through the fact that we’re still

Talking about maybe communication issues or maybe chemistry issues or whatever issues I’m not fully bought in on the fact that just Health alone will take them all the way there this year now had they had more time together and it looked like a well oil machine and we were like oh

Yeah once they step it up a notch in the playoffs like this is going to be fun yeah then yeah I would totally take the he I I get that and it’s not my one of my parts of this is It’s not that I necessarily think that this team’s a

Guarantee to go to the Western cops finals or anything I want an honest assessment of this group I don’t want there to be some catastrophic injury or some in even small injury that people point to yeah but if I want to know what this team is at full health and what

They do in the playoffs so you can go into this off season and take the long hard look you might need to to determine what the rest of uh that you’re doing is that’s that’s what I want to know I get that point but if you’re if you make it

To the Conference Finals that means that you were probably healthy because if you make it to the conference finals in this West there’s no way you did that with one of the big three being out and B like we assess this team and what they needed with a second round exit last

Year you’re telling me we couldn’t do that if they were in the Conference Finals I don’t think so like I feel like you could pretty accurately assess like this is what we need this is where we fell short and even if there is an injury you could look at two whole

Rounds of and three whole rounds the Conference Finals and be like okay this is what we need this is what went wrong even if there is an injury yeah but if you go ahead do we want to just get positive this is this is depressing you guys are depressing you guys are

Depressing okay you did this to us bro you a troublemaker dog this is today is not a good day for me is not a good day no this is fun this is fun this this this is fun this is some of the best conversation we had a minute this is good

If you could pick a playoff scenario for the Phoenix Suns which one would you chose? A guaranteed Western Conference Finals appearance or a fully healthy playoff run? A tough choice the PHNX Suns Podcast debated today.

  1. The nba, especially in the west, is about as even as its ever been. Phoenix can and will win this season

  2. I want Minnesota in the first round. No KAT and Rudy is a very limited offensive player who can be exploited in drop coverage when we have elite mid range scoring

  3. Freaking love these guys and Bo Brock and Johnny Vennerable. Great coverage of my two favorite teams. Let’s finish strong suns
