Are the Suns, Mavericks, Lakers, Kings, or Warriors the scariest ‘bubble’ team in the West? | SPEAK

All right family let’s get to the Western Conference the most interesting storyline that we’re not talking enough about is the bubble teams in the west get this only five games separate the five seeds from 6 through 10 now we already know Kyrie Irving Luka donic they’re with the Mavs Kevin Durant book

Beal they’re with the Suns let’s jump to the nine seed you already know LeBron James Anthony Davis then Steph Curry Draymond Green Chris Paul Klay Thompson with the Warriors a lot of Championship pedigree on those teams but not a lot of spots M Shady starting with you I cannot

Wait to hear your answer to this when we deriv this question which one of these bubble playoff teams is scarest which one of these teams could you see competing for a title whether it’s the six seed the seven seed eight seed nine seed 10 seed in the west I look at

Chemistry now look at matchups and I got to go with the Mavericks oh a they been rolling right now one five in a row right they’ve been balling I think of out of all these teams look at all the players in my opinion I got to go with luk is the best

Player to everybody okay right not mad at that in the play in in the playin brother balling you can’t guard him he puts you in foul trouble he slows the game down he sees the floor so well and then I remember him taking the Mavericks two years ago to the Western Conference

Finals right now you get Kyrie Irving now they jelling they shooting the ball well and then look these dudes are averaging about 60 points a game what can you do with them I’ve been watching them playing on the road at home they look good so I’m going go with the

Mavericks I like that I like the Mavericks talented been rolling I’m going with ktie and the Sun you have three Premier scores on the offensive side of the ball you have a winning record against the number one seed this season in the Denver Nuggets I believe they are the biggest problem for

The Denver Nuggets KD can get a bucket whenever he want book can get a bucket whenever he want bill can get a bucket whenever he want they are a matchup problem for any team I am taking the Suns if they can get rolling and you got noage down there rebounding playing

Defense this is a really good team if they can get roll when the big three play they shooting 53% from the field they scoring a bunch of points it’s going to be hard to stop these dudes I’m taking the Suns Shady I’m with the Suns

But here’s why and tell me if and why I’m wrong is at the end of the day you have to beat the Nuggets yes you do you got to beat the Nuggets and they have beat it so I don’t really care how good you are in the Western Conference versus

Everybody else all I care about is can you beat the Nuggets well we don’t talk enough about in sports and Shady we’ve brought this up at times the sports is about matchups What teams do particularly I’ll go NFL quick and then I’ll come back to NBA and the draft is

Can we win our division y so if you’re currently in the AFC West you’re not trying to beat the Niners you’re only saying can we beat Patrick Mahomes that’s it you draft a roster to beat Pat you draft Lyman to beat Pat because the most important thing is can you beat Pat

And win the division if you in the west the only thing that matters can you beat the Nuggets while I do believe the Mavs might be better than the Suns the Suns match up better versus the Nuggets so for me it’s got to be the Suns being the

Biggest threat because the suns are the only legitimate team in my mind that can knock off the Nuggets they’re two in one versus Nuggets this year they went two- two through the first four games of the playoff series versus the Nuggets last year they lost four to two but they’re a

Much improved team Shady respond to that aspect of it like the Nuggets match up well yeah no they do that’s that’s a great point I just think man when I watch all these guys and I can’t believe I’m about to say this CU I always thought that in this league I haven’t

Seen anybody score at the level of Kevin Durant right since a Kobe Bryan and even that was different because you talking about a seven footer can dribble CU shoot could do I could play Anywhere yeah when you watch Luca man he controls the whole game only doesn’t control the

Game he controls the pace he wears you down over and over again he sees the whole floor and the scary and the first question was what NBA team in the bubble team is the scariest he’s the scariest offensive player we’ve seen and then you add in Kyrie Irving yeah so the with the

First group and the and the second group you got you got offensive scores everywhere so that’s a great point with the Suns I just think that with the mavers man they a scary group let me throw this out to y’all y’all are champions here at this desk y’all have

Championship pedigree yourself if you think about the Mavs let’s be honest Luca closest he’s got in his Western Conference Finals Jason kid is a coach he hasn’t won it though as a player shout out to Jason kid 2011 Dallas Mavericks thank you for that I’m born in

Dallas I was at the parade appreciate you but as a coach Jason kid hasn’t done it meanwhile in the west the Warriors they need no introduction y’all know what time it is the Lakers LeBron ad y’all know what type of time it is the Sun Frank he’s done it Kevin Durant he’s

Done it y know what type of time it is but the math you got Kyrie but Kyrie without LeBron we also don’t have to talk about it but he ain’t won nothing nor has he gotten close to winning anything Katie does that matter like does it matter that if it push comes to

Shove the Mavericks only one person knows how to get there and it’s Kyrie and does Kyrie really know how to get there I watched luuka take that that team and this time they weren’t that good to the West Conference finals against the Warriors right and now you adding Carby Irving but then another

Thing is when we talk about this players and teams like ad how much spr does AD have without LeBron not not Kevin Durant great player he’s one of my favorites you know that he’s the God I mean what type of SP he got without Stephan without Steph G come on

So as much as you want to do this and do that I could do the same thing okay yeah I mean for me though to though and the reason why I’m I’m I mean the Mavs are playing good basketball right now but in the playoffs we know intensity everything violence everything so the

Ref’s letting a lot of stuff go you going to have to defend this team ain’t never defended you know what I’m saying at least with the Suns KD gonna defend book gonna defend like you have guys that’s going to defend and they can score and at any given point of time

It’s a walking bucket if you need a bucket go to book go to k it’s a walking bucket so for me just the problems and the matchups that the Suns present to the nuggets the number one seed is a problem why have neither of you all mentioned the Lakers Lebron James family

He was just in the Western Conference Finals the Mavericks I don’t even know if they made the playoffs last year they missed it if I’m not mistaken the Suns they didn’t make it to the finals the Lakers were there Shady you haven’t mentioned the Lakers James you haven’t

Mentioned the Lakers why have I not heard the Lakers and LeBron James from either of y’all I mean it’ll be a good pick I think they’re a good team we seen them come out the play in last year the West Conference Final so it’s not like

It’s not possible um I just they’re just so up and down for me I mean they got some games they look unbeatable like who you see them guy you see ad wow you see LeBron is he 25 again and then in some games like what the hell are they doing

Where’s a where’s Austin Reed at I can’t find him DLo shooting the ball extremely well phenomenal then in some games like yo is D is he trying to play or is he trying to get traded so that’s why Lakers is just so inconsistent for me with the Mavericks man that Luca man

Even the players we talking about I gotta say right now he might be the best you know I’m with him uh you put up a really good graphic yesterday of AD LeBron scored 60 points whatever this is what it is but the last one was ruy yeah

DLo yeah Austin Reed I can’t trust them every night on a consistent level and the reason why I can’t cuz they ain’t showed me this season consistently so I can’t really trust the Lakers because they’re not going to win if those three dudes are not consistent incredibly well

  1. So Suns beat the Nuggets while their 2nd best player was out. Mavs beat the Nuggets at full strength. You have to have size to match up with the Nuggets – which the Mavs have. You can’t pray you will hit 50% of your shots in a 7 game series against the Nuggets, which the Suns will bank on.

  2. Bron won a bubble ring since Kyrie, idk y they tryna clown Kyrie without Bron as if he didn’t earn that 2016 ring as well. Il chose Luka over that 40yr guy anyday

  3. Last 10 games Dallas has #2 defence. Some of these guys acting like this is still the injured small Dallas team before the trade deadline. That didn’t play defence. Now they’re big and playing D.

  4. I would honestly choose the Mavs over the Suns as well, and the main reason is depth. Suns are one injury away to any of their starters from losing in the first round because they literally are playing with a 7 man rotation

    Mavs outside of Kyrie and Luka are way deeper.

  5. The Mavs are way bigger than the suns so how would they match up to the nuggets more and they got smaller than they were last year when nuggets torched them
