Despite the obvious, maybe all time offensive firepower they’ve assembled, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that there is no chance in hell we see them making noise past the first or second round. Curious to hear the counter arguments, if that’s how you really feel.

People kinda forget that the suns were the second best team last year, just because they dropped out in the second round.

If not for the Nuggets the Suns easily beat the Lakers and Heat, they were the only team that got even close to putting up a fight against the Nuggets.

So yes, they are serious contenders.

Despite not getting swept the Suns really didn't look better than the Lakers against the Nuggets. In the games the Suns lost they were absolutely dominated. It is not a given that they would have won the title

Not really, the only close game was game 4 people pretend like those were one score games when it was really just double digit leads that shrunk a little due to Denver playing the time. Lakers had absolutely nothing to offer when the lights shined brightest.

The only thing the had was social media posts telling themselves that NOW they figured the Nuggets out....after the first three games and then a "well it was kind of close for a sweep" after the fourth.

You didn’t watch a fucking game did you?

Game 1: 3 point game with 45 seconds left.
Game 2: 2 point game with 49 seconds left.
Game 3: ONLY game that your narrative fits
Game 4: 2 point loss.

3 of the 4 games were 1 possession with less than a minute left and you morons act like they were blowout losses. Dumbasses

Meanwhile the "close" series against the Suns had 18, 16, and 25 point blowouts.
