    The Suns do not deserve to be the favorites. Yall should be tired of giving that name recognition title contending hopes. Its old

    Holiday holding CP3 and Book? 💀 Great he can guard 37 year old CP3, but respectfully Perk, Book was killing Jrue. Back to back 40 pieces on him in the finals. The rest of the team failed him.

    Am I crazy for thinking Milwaukee and Boston are still the two best teams in the league heading into the playoffs? Sure phoenix got great pieces on paper but with less than 25 games to go and players returning from injuries give me the Eastern teams

    KD joining any team make wonders, and suns fits well since the leadership role carried by CP3 and Book, while KD will just ball like he used to

    Is Kevin Durant healthy? No.
    Is Suns’ bench deep? No.
    Is Suns’ defensive stronger? No
    In conclusion, will Suns become a NBA champion? Maybe.

    I hope a team that built its roster wins. Not a team that benefits from a player demanding a trade.

    The Celtics matchup to well against the Suns on both sides of the ball they shown last year they can eliminate KD with their wing defenders like Tatum and Grant, they can guard CP and Booker with Smart, White, Brogdan, and Brown and they can guard Ayton with Rob, Muscala, and Al. Along with that the suns are a very week defensive team now after trading away Bridges and Jonson I like almost all the matchups for the Celtics when they have the ball
