I think the Bucks are eminently beatable, as are the 76'ers.

I worry most, ironically, about the Hawks. Trae is a problem for CP3, and Collins is a stretch 4. I still think we'd beat them, but I want the easiest match up possible in the finals, if we make it that far.

I guess I want the easiest route too but, a Hawks/Suns Final would be very exciting to watch.

We can beat anybody who's still around in the playoffs. We just have to go out and do it.

So...do you think we can beat the Clippers without CP3? ☺

Donezo.

Clippers in 5.
Ah... Music to my ears. You and Barkley.

Suns in 6.
Did Barkley also call Clips in 5?

Bad match up to start with. Without CP3? Impossible.

Paul is coming back with cousins or zubak on the court. Paul is going to torch the bigs from mid range.

But why are more people betting on the Bucks? They must be thinking Chris Paul won't be 100% after Covid.
I mean the bucks are really good and they have the best remaining basketball player left. I don’t think we should be obvious favorites over them. Ya we beat them twice, but once without Jrue and the other at the buzzer thanks to some free throws.
Who do you think wins in a hypothetical finals match up? Suns or bucks?
I mean I think we win, but I’m also a biased suns fan, haha.

They have one of two guys that I’ve seen actually lock Booker up this year in Jrue. Giannis was pretty unstoppable in one of those games against us. I know Ayton has had some success on him, but he’s tough.

Still, I think we play together better as a team than Milwaukee does and I trust our ability to make tough shots over them. They do too much stupid stuff and Giannis can’t hit free throws.

One of those things is often midrange proficiency, and according to Second Spectrum, Booker shot 13-for-18 on jumpers off the dribble, which is the most jumpers off the dribble made by a player since Second Spectrum began tracking in 2013-14.
This is cool
