I'd rather face the Clippers. The Suns have several matchup advantages against them.

The Pels on the other hand.. Jonas generally eats Ayton's lunch and they have two elite scorers. They also tend to run more complex offensive sets while the Clippers lean on more isolation, drive and kick 3's.

But... but... TYRONN LUE and his in-game adjustments!

I always time shift since I don't want to sit through the commercials. But I wouldn't mind hopping on if were to catch up near the end or post game.

Finally 'Bone slips up and admits his true power.

...oops. Did I say that out loud?

Your hatin' on Ayton is getting hilarious.

In the two games Ayton missed, Jonas scored 23 points and 25 points. In the two games Ayton played, he outscored Jonas 20 to 18 and 18 to 17.

I know most would disagree but I think the Suns beat both these teams in 5.

I'm terrified of Beverly injuring one of our players. I'm terrified of Morris injuring one of our players. I'm terrified of Scott Foster not giving a shit about either one of them injuring our players.

No worries now. They’re out of our bracket. We’re not likely to see them.

Morris isn't out of our bracket yet.

The Pelicans are playing really well right now; I'm surprised the Wolves beat the Clips, but I still think the Pelicans win this one to get the 8 spot.

You realize they've played against each other before this season, right?

I think it’s fair to say Ayton has shown tremendous growth as a player over the past 4 years and and has already proven himself as a playoff competitor. I’m not really worried at all about playoff battle between him and Jonas or any big man in the west for that matter. The only thing I’m worried about in any first round scenario is Covid and injury and there’s no controlling that.

Yep. As I said, Jonas generally eats his lunch. Ayton has the most trouble with physical centers like Valanciunas, Adams, Embiid and strangely Mitch Robinson.

The real debate is if it's better to pay Valanciunas $15M/year or Ayton $30M+/year.

You were too quick Shel, haha

New Orleans it is…now I really want a Clippers win, we could get them without PG too?

RIP, Clippers. Wow.

Just hope this doesn’t spread and wipe out our team

Whoa. Pandemic P.

Exactly. I hope they’ve had their boosters. If it’s been before December, the efficacy of booster is toast. I just want covid to not play a factor in games missed.

Clippers have them right where they want them. Now Terrance Mann will go off for 30.

Whoa

Lol
This might be actually accurate

I hope cleveland makes the playoffs, they were a fun story all year. Hopefully Allen is ready to go and this isn’t like LA playing AD in game 5 last year.

Clippers have nothing to worry about with master in-game adjustor, Tyronn Lue!
