Do any of you consider the Suns favorites to win it this year? Or serious contenders? Why? (alien.top)

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.

No one is taking on Joker. Stop being dense. Certainly wasnt stopping Joker with Ayton.

PS - Nurk actually plays Joker about as well as anyone.

Joker routinely gave Ayton praise over most centers, he only really does that with Embiid/Ayton. Joker specifically gives Nurk the business because of their history and gets him in foul trouble immediately.

nobody is gonna stop him, but Nurkic especially gets his shit pushed in. You’d know that if you weren’t being so “dense” 😘

That was 3 or 4 years ago before Ayton turned into a quitter. Joker has routinely face-fucked Ayton. Especially last year and the year before.

He did the exact same to Nurk in the last 2 years. Idk if you watched many Blazers games but Nurk is dreadful to watch and will stay in front of Joker way less than Ayton.

Regardless, we both know Nurk won’t be healthy come playoff time so these points are all moot
