I think that is mostly due to the Booker injury

which is fair. If you had to bet your house on one team winning it right now, I would pick the Warriors. That could certainly change after we see how well we play without Book, and if he comes back healthy.

I want the Suns to win so bad, but I have to say that I'm not happy that the Suns biggest weaknesses weren't addressed (starting PF upgrade & backup PG). Both issues are coming home to roost right now, and the combination of Steph, Klay, Jordan & Draymond looks unbeatable.

I wouldn’t say unbeatable…A bad Denver Team just almost beat them. I do agree they look scary

They aren't unbeatable, but they "LOOK" unbeatable. Sure, the Denver team is not good, but the things that GSW is doing will also work against the best teams.

I remember when Jazz fans thought that the Suns were the dirtiest team in the NBA. Probably not out of the question when we had the Morii, Chriss and Jackson, but certainly not now.

Denver’s defense is garbage…GS stuff will work of course, but not to the same degree. Jokic can’t anchor a defense against an offense like GS. They also have no real perimeter defenders.

They will continue to look unbeatable until we beat their asses.

None of that Royce stuff looked dirty to me. The first time through it did, but there was a lot of flopping going on. Looked like playoff basketball, and he was called for fouls on some of them.

Not super dirty, but they were fouls and most were done purposefully

Yep. I think most fouls in the game are not by accident.

Yeah, and probably trying to play the game with force. It sucks when the other team is missing their best player, by far, and you still can't win.

I think Borrego is a pretty good coach and he's had some bad luck with Hayward's injury and a pretty dumb GM. I suppose they could need a different voice in their locker room.

Also doesn't mention if it includes working back from an injury.
