538 gives us a 36% chance of making it to the second round.

I think the pundits and predictors are way underrating the Suns. I get that the Lakers are a bad matchup for us. But there's a reason they are the 7 seed. They've had major health problems all season, including injuries to both Lebron and Anthony Davis. If the Lakers are at 100% strength, maybe we're an underdog, but just a week ago Lebron was hobbling on a tweaked reinjured ankle. And in the Golden State play-in game Lebron was walking up the court and acting sore or disinterested for half the game.
If the Lakers who show up for this series are the ones from the play-in / from the end of the season, I like our chances a lot.

Can I get an Amen
His play along with Cam Payne really going to be crucial. Funny how I took time to peep the national media and they probably not aware how key they are to our success. I get fans watch highlights and check box scores but the knowledge of some of these so called analysts is sad
So yea really want Mikal n Cam to wake some ppl up

Well let me get this all out now
I respect LeBron's game because I am a basketball fan so can't dispute his impact on the game. I however usually cringe at 90% of his soundbytes and quotes which always trying to build some narrative which as usual the media lap it all up.
I'm bracing myself for this guy that is such a physical specimen, flexing when he does get an And1 but when someone plays him physical flailing and snapping his head back like he got the hardest hit ever smh .That's been my issue last couple seasons, he can't shake Mikal so will go through him and refs will still give him the call as per usual so it will be cool to throw physical guys like Jae and Craig at him but again we are at the mercy of the refs smh.....
Another pet peeve gonna be hearing too much Lakers fans, really hope of the 10,000 in the arena that their number is fairly non existent but they always tend to get to the game smh.....
BRING YOUR "A" GAME GUYS!!
LET'S GO!!

I’m sure Lebron has been practicing his go to flop moves for todays game. Almost nobody has picked the Suns to come out on top in this series. I hope that has been plastered all over the Suns locker room. Game one is huge. Let’s take care of these punks today and not give them any life. I’m sure the Lakers are saying the same thing. Lebron is getting older and gimpy. Make him run his ass off defending.

Lebron and Davis are scary. But we're better than they are at the other 3 positions, and our bench is much better than theirs. They're gimpy, and we are mostly healthy. They're worn out and we're still hungry and energetic. They're on the road and we're at home. There are a lot of reasons we can do well in this series. Let's go!
Re: Game Day Playoff Edition: Lakers (0-0) @ Suns (0-0), Sun 5/23/21
Better start than I anticipated. The team doesn't appear to be rattled or nervous by the first playoff game. DA being effective inside is huge. That has to continue.

Can’t expect Lebron will hit every 3

Can't overreact and give him lanes to maybe get fouls on DA
