I'm really rooting for the Suns and particularly the Blazers. Lillard and Booker are two of my favorite players.
But it ain't looking good.. |

As I said earlier, I'm a fairweather NBA fan and only watch when the Suns are good so take this with a grain of salt. I don't know if its league wide or just Phoenix but the Nash/Stoudemire/Marion team would wipe the floor with this current team. Is the talent as a league just down compared to a decade ago or is this just a Phoenix thing? Booker and Ayton are nice players but they dont have shit at forward.

I've actually enjoyed the Suns Lakers series more than the others because they have players that remind me of old school players. Lebron of course. Davis has a great inside-mid range game. Ayton is good inside. Chris Paul is a master at the mid range game. They're shooting less threes than the other teams it seems, but they're still shooting 30 a game. And I'd love to see the Suns win because they haven't been good in a long ass time. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. I don't think the Lakers have even been playing their best and they're still up 2-1 with home court now in their favor. We'll see. |

Holy cow there might actually be a close finish here. Memphis looks like they might fall apart here in the last 3 minutes though.

The Jazz play good team ball and are better than the sum of their parts. They remind me a lot of that 14 Spurs team that destroyed the Miami team that had 4 HOfers on it.

I'm not sure the Jazz even have one player as good as any one of those four. |

Mitchell is a stud and most of those guys were on the downside. That Spurs team was all compared to "those old dudes at the Y that don't look like much but run you off the court".

The easy answer is to let defense be played again. Like the MLB (prior to this year) and the NFL, the NBA has changed everything to favor offense. Get rid of the defensive 3 second call and let teams be physical. Quit rewarding all the flopping and guys looking to just draw cheap fouls.

Dame, CJ, Powell and Anthony are all capable of offensive explosions, but I feel like they struggle down low. I feel like they would have no answer for Anthony Davis, Jokic, Embiid/Howard, etc. |
