Im sorry but how is it even remotely reasonable to have like the warriors over the magic. This seems like so much cope trying not to seem wrong about your preseason predictions.

Devin Booker is averaging 29.4 points to go along with 8.9 assists and only 3.1 turnovers, looking the part of one of the five best players in the league.

Suns have 2 top 5 players in the league.

Man if that’s true then they have no excuse to not win it all this year right? Much less get embarassed in the second round by Denver ?

I mean the mavs series was embarrassing the denver series really wasn't.

The sun's best 3rd and 4th best players were injured and they took the eventual chamos to 6 in the closest series they had.

Like if your team has ayton, cp3, and booker injures you will lose a playoff series

Booker was completely fine.ayton got benched for jock landale that wasn’t much of a loss. And they won games with Payne starting instead of Paul. The just disappeared completely after game 4. 4/6 games were blowouts. Wasn’t close at all not as bad as a sweep but they didn’t push anything they were literally down 30 at half at home in game 6. Nothing more embarrassing than that.

They disappeared games 5 and 6 after booker got injured midway through the 5th.

You saying booker was completely fine doesn't make it true

Naw. When you lose in the playoffs it embarrassing and your team is full of chokers. If your not gonna win the title it’s better to miss the playoffs /s

Top heavy teams will always be at risk for injuries derailing their season. Which is a big reason I disliked that Bradley Beal trade. Suns should've focused on getting younger complementary players to surround their two stars.
