Sure… and Lonzo Ball is Steph Curry with a 40” vertical
Ya never gonna let that shit go huh?
bro it was a prediction not all predictions go right
😂😂😂
LET IT GO 😂😂
when you have no talent you just say same old ball with 40in vert 🤷🏼♂️ bro you shouldn’t be talkin bout talent
They could be great. I think what they lack is clear leadership.
And defense
And depth
You’ve clearly never watched a Suns game
@@memoirsofalegend5472when was there defense was bad? Defense was better than the nuggets and the nuggets won it all. Stop the hating troll 😂
@@memoirsofalegend5472suns actually r a good defensive team, u would think trading away bridges and Johnson the D would’ve took a hit but that’s not the case surprisingly
gonna answer the question before watching the video, its because we’ve seen this happen before.
the lakers and nets were championship favorites just 2 years ago. real ones know to not get their hopes up.
Bruh I said something similar in my comment. We’ve seen this before, it won’t work and Ayton won’t be there he wants touches and more shine which he will not get being on this roster
@@michaelbarnes2126 teams need to be bottom heavy just as much as they are top heavy. plain and simple
@@Shayde_ exactly
Injuries
@@TJzWayyy the answer to that: depth
If they stay healthy theyll be good in the regular season, i cant see them winning with so many players needing the ball to create, too much isolation not enough movement and scoring
Man I wish mf would stop saying that dumb shit lol
They have an whole off season to figure it out
bro talking about needing the ball to create yet kd is one of the most efficient players of all time that doesn’t need the ball much combined with dbook who literally just shot 60% in the playoffs and beal was 40% from 3 before he had to start handling the ball himself for that sorry wizards team so it just sounds like you just chatting bro
dbook can play off ball easily, bradley beal could play some off ball too, i dont see a problem
Every one of those players can play off ball, and do it very well in addition to playmaking with the ball in their hands.
Who exactly needs the ball to create? Dbook and KD are GREAT off call players. Beal doesn’t have too much experience playing off ball past couple years but he did it a lot when playing with Wall. You’re just saying shit out your mouth
The reason Jayson Tatum got so much criticism is because of his streakyness in important moments just like Bam Adebayo. Compared to luka who doesn’t receive the same criticism as Tatum because his team as a whole isn’t anywhere near the levels of Tatums.
That's why jaylen Brown got the bag before he did.
As a biased Nuggets fan, the way I see it, they didn't do anything to answer the Jokic question. Jock Landale played Jokic way tougher than Ayton did and they let him walk. Now it just feels like they have 4 players that basically do the same thing and aren't really synergistic.
No one can answer the Jokic question, he’s reached unguardable status. You’ve gotta either out talent the Nuggets or pray for some bad shooting variance from Murray and the role players in a series.
Landale did not play Jokic tougher than Ayton. Ayton played Jokic well in game 1 and then Monty iced him the rest of the series
I'm not a nuggest fan, but Jokic has been my favorite player since 2016. I've watched DEN all last year and I notice something that no one is mentioning: DEN doesn't need to take a bunch of 3 points to win, despite having great 3 pt shooters. People don't seem to realize how this makes them dangerous. Also, their team defense is underrated. They can win 3 in a row if they remain consistent and get a few good defensive players.
Who could have addressed the Jokic problem? I think them addressing high end talent and depth will make a big difference.
@@MrJjreidhe did play jokic better than ayton that's the reason ayton barley played
The reason why curry and KD worked so well, and kyrie, devin booker, Russell Westbrook did not work as well is because curry isn’t necessarily a traditional iso point guard KD works best in iso situations because he’s practically unguadable in those situations you gotta double team him. But curry is so good off the ball you can’t do that, curry will run around screens all day long and will get open off the ball easily if someone is isolating. Or KD can also play off the ball for curry. That’s why they worked well together and were practically an unbeatable team. However everyone else KD has played with have been iso players and won’t be able to create as well as curry does off the ball. Leading to the problem of there being to much iso play and not enough team play. Chris Paul is the exception to that because he’s a pick and roll pg that creates enough space for other players to be able to do that and that’s why they almost won the title before injuries.
Let’s not forget that with curry and Kd you also had draymond and klay. While also having really good bench and solid roster all around nets lacked depth and did not have the defensive two way players that gsw had it wasn’t just curry and Kd out their. To not mention the entire roster is smack in the face. If Kd and Westbrook had the same role players and even a draymond and klay type player on the team they would’ve been just as successful.
@@markenscastelly of course but I’m just mostly talking about iso players and iso point guards. Klay is an off ball 3 and D player, and dreymond although brings the ball up occasionally and passes the ball and plays defense he doesn’t really do much else to keep someone else from isolating. In fact he’ll give them the ball and let them do it while going to set a screen for someone like curry or Klay. He doesn’t hinder the teams flow. That’s what I’m saying and that’s why it worked well.
KD only worked with two SUPERSTARS. Curry and Westbrook, they at least made a WCF and a Finals. With Dbook, Kyrie etc. it's all 2nd round exits.
@@adriandantedanosos4146 again like I said it’s not just two player if you out curry and Kd on phoenix roster they still second round exit or with the roster Kd and kyrie had
@@adriandantedanosos4146 issue is depth not that him and curry was the difference they had a lot more help on that gsw roster
They basically choked for two straight playoffs now.
And people still put their faith in them smh 😂
Did you really expect a team that played a total of 20 games together to go far in the playoffs? They were still trying to figure out how to play with each other. So no it wasn't two straight playoffs in a row. Plus there are other teams who have made quick exits as well and people still believe they still have a chance to win it all. So let's not act like the Suns are the only team out here who hasn't been able to achieve their goal
@@tashied422 oh people didn’t feel this way when they got together and entered the playoffs on a win streak I didn’t hear none of that 😂😂😂😂. It doesn’t matter their team isn’t a good fit together and they have star guys that need the ball. Ayton is getting traded he don’t wanna be their he didn’t wanna be there when CP3 was there now there definitely won’t be a touches for him in PHX now which is what he wants lol
@@tashied422 they the team still trying to win with a super squad lmao it won’t work their star guys all need the ball and Ayton is getting traded he wants touches and there won’t be any now for him
If the Nuggets and GSW have not shown the league anything, chemistry is NECESSARY
Cause that's all they are, a collection of talent that doesn't mesh when it matters. Durant isn't a leader, Beal's a career loser and Ayton doesn't seem motivated. Booker is the only one I actually believe in.
Perfectly put
This. It says a lot that admittedly largely washed CP3 was probably the most reliably competitive out of anyone on the team.
@@SamuraiFoochs oh definitely, CP3 easily wanted it more than all of them combined. It's sad cause I really wanted to see him get that first ring.
@@Konman804 I'm a CP3 Stan and lemme just say it's torture sometimes. Lol.
Booker bails, thats his move.
That was an extremely bold statement. They are not going to get past the second round. These guys are role playing superstars. Which one can actually lead a team?
Your smoking crazy role playing super stars 😂😂😂
I get what he means. kD is bummy outside of GSW
@@danielbattle7620average 30 points game is real bummy he was shoe size getting done in Brooklyn you sound silly asf you obviously don’t even watch
1. Super teams without Lebron have 100% failure rate
2. Even less defense than last year
3. So little depth they don’t have a 5th starter, much less a bench
4. Ayton is still mentally checked out
5. Booker is easy to tilt. He is so mentally weak he did not even address the media after the loss.
6. No PG. Who is running the offense, because taking turns on ISO offense is easy to stop (say hello Embiid and Giannis).
Be that as it may. I think this year he's even closer than he ever was.
“Hall of famer who has something to prove” bro is only proving how soft he is by being on this team 😂 like we didn’t already know
Throwing down an alley oop dunk doesn't really have anything to do with having a clutch gene dude.
Great team in 2K. Lack of defense, heart and teamwork in real life.
You haven't even seen the 2K Suns play in real life to even say anything you just said. You've only been able to play this team with your game controller. Why don't you wait until they actually get on the court and play before assuming things
@@tashied422 Lil bro thinks I play 2K lol
7:54 “Lebrick James” 😂
Mike playing into the meme for no reason 😭🤣🤣
Nah they’re not even making the play in next season. Depth is important and they don’t have any. Durant will get hurt at some point, Beal will look washed, so Booker will be trying to do way too much and get double teamed every game. 35-47
The West is stacked and someone with a pretty good team will not be in the playoffs, But I think Booker is too good, and Ayton can be really solid too, for Phoenix to not make the playoffs.
You’re either a prophet or your license to talk ball should be revoked
@@antoniotrivelloni8191 honestly this take didn’t age too well. They have more depth now thanks to the Dame trade. They’re probably a 6th seed or so now
6th seed lmao brother. KD, Book and Beal are going to be cooking and you know it. You’re overthinking it. They have a few sharpshooters in their depth now too. I hope they trade Grayson Allen for TJ McConnell though
@@RB-gj5to the fact you’re hoping they trade for TJ freaking McConnell shows how much depth they still need. Gonna stick with my 6 seed prediction I til they prove me wrong
Mike bro... I like your videos but you get suckered in by hype machines so easily.
Mike is right
No leadership, no chemistry, no balance. The pieces don't fit together to make a winning team.
Wait did the season start already and they've played actual NBA games? How are you knowing this before everyone else? What kind of psychic TV do you have and where can I get one
“25 year old DeAndre Ayton”
*Gets traded*
Ayton isnt stopping jokic, its really that simple. At this exact moment i think that only lakers match up with denver and everything goes through denver
No one is so stop saying stupid shit like that
I think frank is perfect coach gna keep the players doing the small things defensively… offensively they’re all time great I think
Luka didn’t get the criticism of the other guys cause his team is dog while the others actually have contending rosters
For real, Tatum and Booker had a contender roster meanwhile Luka with way more less always put a fight
💯! Plus Luka isn’t putting up 11 points on 3/14 shooting in close out games.
luka had kyrie and virtually the same roster he had the previous season. makes sense that he cant win a ring with that but missing the playin for someone as talented as him and being healthy most of the season is crazy
@tridra5714 In case you didnt know Luka and Kyrie both constantly sit out because injury and the team definitely wasnt the same that was 4 in west before trade
simple answers to why nobody is talking about the suns, they have no bench or depth, the 3 best offensive players can’t guard a parked car, the big man who is a good talent disappears against other good if not better big men and has no motor. they virtually no facilitator, they lost their best defender in the trade to get KD, as good as book is he is a front runner and can’t close series and he’s okay defender not a good defender, beal is a volume scorer and doesn’t play defense so he needs alot of touches to be effective, and kd can’t stay healthy for a full season since he tore his achilles. did i mention they don’t play defense yes you can score points but what happens when you have a off night like kd has had and book, and beal who hasn’t been on that stage can’t buy a bucket, and that big man who can’t buy in for some reason play teams like the the nuggets again, or the grizzlies, or the lakers who play defense and get downhill, or the warriors and kings who can also put up points your screwed
No defense, no leader, injuries, and Vogel is a very mid coach
Suns fan to Luka- you can’t talk reckless rn buddy y’all didn’t even make playoffs last year
Because adding Beal to any team, let alone the Suns, doesn’t make them a instant contender
Beal hasn't had a reason to give his all. Hes been on a shitty team his entire career. Now he has a reason to play. Dont be surprised if Beal elevates his game this season.
some people act like playmakings is not important anymore and you don't need them. But I think the number one problem they face is a legitimate playmaker for that many shooters
Do you think Booker can be a good plan maker? If he tries
@@raydillard8548 I think they have at least three players that can be good Playmakers but I don't know if that's enough. I don't think it is
Alot of it has to do with Jokic. He isnt like watching Giannis, or Lebron, or KD, hes not flashy. Its like watching the old NFL teams that just run it up the middle and win 14- 3. Its just really dominant fundemental team Basketball that flashy teams cant beat. Jokic is the most dominant Big in the game, he cN do it all (except flash big time dunks, poor guy has white boy disease) but hes sooooo good, and the players around him are perfect fot the system, plus Micheal Porter was like back when the spurs tanked as a top 3 team in the league and they benched the top 6 players for the year and brought Dominique Wilkens back from overseas ball and let him bring the fan into the games and he just scored at will but they couldnt win with just him. So that gave em the #1 pick and landed Tim Duncan. Well Porter Jr got hurt at Missouri and so teams let him drop to 14..... Are you kidding me.... He was by far the best player in the draft. Well Denver stole a #1 caliber pick with their already loaded roster. Plus there system allows the role playera to be plugged in and out without measing with the main core..... Denver will win 3 in a row
If they stay consistent they will win 3 in a row. Porter Jr and Murray are not all-star caliber yet, but they're getting there after the injuries. From what I saw last year, Denver has the best team chemistry on both ends of the floor (particularly in playoffs). PHX might now be a super team. The issue with super teams is chemistry. How well will they play as a team?
You actin like Jokic be putting up them weak ass Patrick Ewing numbers a 7 footer getting 10 dimes a game isn't exactly old timey basketball
I guarantee u that the nuggets are not 3peating 😂 jamal murray is not staying healthy for 3 years straight, and they lost a key rotation player in bruce brown and will need to replace his impact. The nuggets arent the only good team in the league. Even if u believe the nuggets will make the finals 3 years straight (which i dont), who's to say a team like the celtics or bucks wont beat them in the finals. Jokic might be unstoppable but the reason the nuggets won this year is cuz of jamal murrays incredible play in the playoffs. Well have to see if he can consistently stay healthy and elevate his play every time in the playoffs.
Spectacular Superstars can only take you so far. Give me fundamentals over the flash. Did Tim Duncan's of the world, Tony Parker, Klay Thompson, these kind of guys have basic game but elite skill. That's what I want on the championship squad
i hope you're wrong
No one cares that it's a great team "on paper". Because most teams that look great "on paper" never actually look great on the court. This is why a lot of players don't give a damn about analytics and all of those hyper-focused stats. Cause at the end of the day, you could have the best team on the planet "on paper" but they ain't winning shit if the players don't mesh and if their play-styles don't mesh
Looking at the Suns, they don't have that primary distributor that'll give up shots to make the right plays, something that CP3 did for them. With KD, Beal, and Book, THEY ONLY HAVE ONE BASKETBALL to play with lol. You could say that with 3 ball dominant stars, they could stagger minutes so they have at least one of them on the floor at all times to lead the offense, but that only works if you have a deep bench that support them. And the Suns' bench is as shallow as a puddle of water on the sidewalk of a hot Arizona day.
And they are SMALL at the post. You could hope Ayton turns into a beast this year, but he'll probably be mediocre and won't be motivated to try. He wanted to be the #1 guy, that's why he wanted to go to the Pacers last off season. This will just be a less toxic version of the Nets.
The Phoenix Suns have already said repeatedly that Bradley Beal is going to be the point guard. Devin Booker has the best shooting guard in the NBA there's no reason to move him off of that!!
Crazy u was the first hoop youtu6er i ever watched in 2016 or 17 still here
for me Phoenix is first round exit team
the lack of depth would kill them in the playoffs in the stacked west
Denver are still top dogs even without Bruce Brown
Lakers - what they did at the deadline last season was rematkable and now they have time to work on chemistry in the team
Warriors - in my opinion getting Chris Paul for Jordan Poole make their 2nd line twice as consistent than last season and even tho CP3 could melt again in playoffs, but he is top of the smartest players in the league and he knows Phoenix in and out
Clippers - we still don't know how strong they would be if healthy but Kawhi, PG and Russ as a big 3 and really solid role players (with Russ additional motivation on beating KD) should be absolutely tough matchup for Suns
Mavs - upgraded defense and Kyrie Luka duo which at the end of the last season was starting to click
OKC - maybe it's too early but Shai, Giddey and finally Chet are pretty scary trio
Kings - most underapriciated, 3 seed last season and they picked up Euroleague MVP Vezenkov for their pretty solid team with Fox and Sabonis as a main stars
Timberwolves - If KAT is Traded for solid value it really could be scary team with Edwards, Gobert and idk maybe Mikal Bridges
And I think all of those teams bench is miles better than the Suns bench and I don't think that old KD, Unmotivated Ayton or injury prone Beal would play 48 minutes to make up for it maybe if they trade Ayton for depth i will change my mind but before that i have them as a 6th seed and first round exit
and I didn't even mention Grizzlies who now got some playoff experience and if Ja stop doing stupid things they also looking really solid with adding second DPOY caliber player in Marcus Smart
If the suns stay healthy, the will beat everyone. That's a spoiler. It's popular to hate on the suns. I just call it down the middle
First round exit for them I’m not sold on this team
I think this team would do just fine they already have the pieces they just got to make up for the deficiencies.
As a Arizona sports fan I just want the curse to be over.
It was last reported Bradley Beal is the point guard not Booker
probably because they just that they are "talented"
but doesnt have a uniqueness to make them championship team
They said the same thing about the Nets with KD, Kyrie and Harden. And look what happened lol. With the Suns there’s no leader, we know KD is not a leader he’s just a scorer. That’s what differentiates MJ, Bird and Kobe, they were scorers and leaders.
This video gonna age so well when Book and co are holding up that Larry O next year.
No more Ayton !!!
The look on a Stephen A. Smith and Wilburn face is priceless
I also pick the Suns to win 2024 NBA Championship. It will be Suns vs Heat (With Dame) and it will be Suns in 6
Loool
Don't sleep on Ayton if he goes to the Mavs they become real contenders. That is a legit all-star there that is not used correctly in Suns. I would love to see him elsewhere, he can still prove that he is a legit 1st round pick
Thats why they have a new coach. They realized that Monty was the problem. The Mavs dont have anyone on their roster to even get Ayton anyway, so thats not even a scenario thats even worth talking about
@@tashied422 let's wait and see for the Mavs...Also changing Monty with a coach that will use Ayton as Gobert will not help his development for sure
Them valley boys seem a little fractured but this is a squad that’s gonna be a threat no doubt ☀️
There have been waaay better teams before so great in paper but when the season rolled on, 82 games at that, then POs, we still all have to wait and see. The Sooper team that Dirk41 defeated, comes to mind. Mabuhay!
The big issue I see with super teams is the chemistry.
Booker is a "dust mite"
1:54 I died
Yo redo this video after the trade😂
If we are in 2010, yes this team is a guaranteed champion. But in 2023 the league is so deep that this team just looks too top heavy. One injury and it’s over. But they are a few good role players away from deep.
You know whats missing.. like kobe said killer instinct only few players have some that🔥
Idk man cause Joker clearly doesn't have killer instinct. He has that 9-5 let's get this shit over with instinct and is dominating just fine.
Well this aged well
D Book is Steph with a 40 inch vert. Kids gonna be good
Ayton got traded💀
I wouldn't rule out the Suns, but their championship odds are really dependent on if Booker can be the clear cut leader that the other 3 guys can't and if Vogel is able to get Ayton trusting the team.
Oh it was a matter of trust holding back Ayton, was it? Not pea-heartedness? Not post-contract mercenary indifference?
@@DunningKrugerJnr Some of the wounds are self-inflicted, don't get me wrong.
However, Ayton was arguably the most reliable player on the Suns finals run and it seems like there was a clear switch turned off after the contract talks. Whether it's fair or not, I think the Suns need to turn that back on if they are going to be the favourites.
Kd should be the leader
@@shambles168 KD doesn't want to lead.
As a Suns fan, it’s funny to watch Booker get hated on so much lol after all these years, people take any chance to hate on him instead of giving the Nuggets and Jokic their credit.
I would rather see a PHX vs LAL game along with a DEN vs GSW. I am hoping all these teams make it to the playoffs.
Make the lead very entertaining.
This video didnt even last a week smh
They’ll break records in the regular season where defense don’t matter…. The issue is the playoffs where defense does matter
You used video game video in your video lol
the problem with the suns is that they rely way too much on iso-ball... that shit dont work if you wanna win a chip.... and also only win when everyone is in god mode and if they aint then its over.. plus basically no depth
😂😂 i promise you they are a 2nd round exit. Makes KD look even worst for his career.
I just checked to if you made a Suns Video 15 min before you dropped this lol. Missed adding the bench that's the biggie
Either they can b like the ‘07 patriots in basketball, putting on fireworks or displaying dominance, or the worst version of the ‘13 lakers superteam
People just look at the Nets and write off the Suns. Booker is a different animal than Harden or Kyrie. I think the Suns win it all this year
I'll remember this comment when they once again get bitched by Jokic and Murray XD.
Seriously though, I hope I'm proven wrong dude. Book got that dawg In him, and it'd be a shame if he doesn't win one for Phx fr.
Yeah, sure remeber that this is the same guy ho choke 2 years in a row in close out games yeah, at least Kyrie has playoff pedegree😅😅😅
Hope so
I kinda think that depth is better than brad Beal. I just think he doesn’t add as much as a more defensive, spot up shooting type guy. But we will see
Yep, Phoenix lacks the 3 and D forward guy every other team is hunting for high and low, and Phoenix seems to not care about having.
This didn’t age well 7 days later haha
This will be a very interesting season
I do not see it, and you do not see it either since all you talk about here is the scoring and shooting percentages and assists, while defense is what wins championships. Two slightly undersized guards, one past his prime, plus KD who is not a defensive stopper, and still Josh Okogie at Small Forward who got absolutely destroyed and dominated by Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. Like, nobody on the roster can guard Jokic, nobody on the roster can guard Aaron Gordon, and Booker will have to take on Murray and good luck to him. Where Denver destroyed Phoenix last playoffs was at the forward positions, and Eric Gordon is a good player and addition but the man is 6'3" and 34 years old, he cannot be on the floor against Aaron Gordon or Michael Porter Jr, who are 6'8" and 6'10" and fast and long and athletic.
There was a single game in the playoffs where Denver was +50 at the SF position for the game, and Phoenix added...Eric Gordon. Look, I understand the finances of paying for star talent, but outside of KD none of the Forwards are making even $3 million dollars, and you really do get what you pay for in sports usually. Then KD is older now and it is definitely a question if his body will hold up, and if not then Phoenix will be trying to win a ring with a posse of bargain basement forwards, and no, that will not work, for sure.
I still think the Nuggets should be favored and I still think the Suns are frauds. KD's age has caught up with him and unless he's playing for the Warriors, physical defense has gotten him off his game in some big playoff games even before the Boston series last year. Don't just look at the stats for each series, watch the games and use the stats with context since stats can be flawed. His 2013 stats vs the Grizzlies are very flawed. Devin Booker still hasn't proven to really be clutch. He did take his team to the Finals as the best player on the team but hasn't really taken a leap since then and choked really hard last year. Bradley Beal is also injury prone.
Lets not disregard the fact that KD failed in Brooklyn with Kyrie, Harden, and Blake Griffin and ran to a team (Phoenix) who was in the Finals in 2021.Almost as cowardly as his move to Golden State
KD is slightly washed up he kinda like Bron still great but can't hit that Super Saiyan level anymore
I do not understand this video.. I know you know your basketball… who’s their PG?.. who’s the playmaker when the shooters goes cold?.. what’s the depth?.. can they Guard the Nuggets?.. can they guard LA?.. can they guard GS?..this Phoenix team is a NBA2k fantasy come true
At 10:10 mark, they younger athlete is supposed to be professional. However the older more mature coach should as well...and Monty did not keep it professional with Ayton. He let his personal feelings get in the way of developing young talent. Main reason he is gone
I'm not worried about Booker, Bol Bol on the other hand....
Lol dude said Luka cooked Booker but shows footage of Luka cooking Cam Johnson. Make it make sense. Book always trash talks, whether hes up or down. The funny thing is with how good everyone says Luka is he shows he doesn't know how to play with a PG and no one in the league is saying they want to play for Dallas the way they are with Phoenix. The only person who cooked Book in the playoffs was Jalen Brunson and his hustle and aggressiveness. Luka didnt do squat with Book on him but i mean everyone always point to that silly picture lol Booker is gonna be an MVP this year, count on it!
I will refer to this video when they lose in the 2nd round.
Who’s here after the Lillard trade? 👀
none of the players on that team are winners. Their last finals blunder could be blamed on CP but KD ain’t making it there. Maybe devin steps up, but no one else can take this team all the way imo
In short:
KD is aging and suffered a major injury, which actually shows more often than we want to admit.
Booker has been a choke artist historically.
Ayton... really?
Who is going to play defense? And, yes, you need defense. Booker is no Steph and, even if he was, those Warriors had a much better defense than these Suns (and a better offense).
Edit: also, way too mid-range heavy to be actually functional.
Bigger question: Why is everyone sleeping on the champs?
this video while good at the time, aged a bit ayton got traded not long after this, he did call out the possibility, nice vid
Whassup wit the video tab lol?
The public and media have always looked down on Phoenix as a city. It is what it is.
Who is playing defense? How many games is kd playing? 45-50 games
We've been shown a lot of examples recently regarding how important having depth and role players are in the modern era.
People are hating so hard on the suns, they may have issues like all other teams but I could definitely see them getting far
Out of date. DeAndre Ayton traded to Portland as part of the Damian Lillard deal.
They can get 55 wins in the regular season but I think KD and Book playing 38 minutes is not viable in the playoffs and they will have trouble on the board if Ayton is injured or not playing well.
No one believes in them because we've seen stars get together who don't compliment eachother often, and it typically does not work out.
It could, sure. But from the information we have there are just a handful of teams with better chances (celtics, nuggets, bucks, lakers, warriors)
Suns should be good in the playoffs.
Because they all choke under pressure.
Nuggets in 4.
I mean if I got beaten that badly I would not go out of my house
Thumbnail spelling incorrect..
The reason I largely don’t think this team had what it take is fit how the heck are they gonna find a way to get both beal and devin on the same team who the pg because from what i heard at least it seem they and kd are both mid range shooter
Waiting on the update video, after the blockbuster 3-team trade.
You could def make a case that Jokic/Murray/Gordon are more talented than KD/Booker/Beal. Booker over Murray is the only obvious advantage.
Cause they ain’t beating the Nuggets simple as that. They can’t use put stars together and think “we are definitely gonna win.”
When will they ever learn. Stacked teams always fail
It's because Superteams don't win chips or at least they very rarely do. The whole superteam name is even quite dumb. Every team gets the same salary to spend so there aren't any superteams, there are only top heavy teams. You can blow all your salary on three stars and boom, everyone says you have a superteam but another team can sign two stars and use the 40 million from the third star to bring in great depth and they're probably in a stronger position. For me a great duo with depth is always a better way to go than three stars surrounded by minimum contract guys.
If the word defense was in this video, I missed it. Ya know, the thing the players are doing (or not doing) half the time they are on the floor...
People really gonna hate... But this team is about to be great..
😂😂😂
Hard to get behind Booker when he's so outspoken and whiny.
