The Suns defense is good.

Man, game 6 against Jazz, Reggie got to the paint at will. The Suns guards and wings are really good on ball defenders. And DA does such a good job of helping.

Do you think the Suns’ front office regrets drafting Ayton over Doncic and Young?


Probably a bit but not much because they have Booker. Would have been an alpha war between those two.


Any regret goes out the door if they bring home the title too.

Ayton looks damn good too, lets see how much more he develops.

God forbid some suggest Ayton is a better defender than Gobert...

Amazing to see clip fans complaining about the refs.

Did they watch the game?

Booker showed some balls tonight. Looks like he broke his nose and he kept fighting and hitting big shots. That’s toughness.


That's the way of the Mamba

Yep. They pissed, I get it. I'd be too.

But still...

As much as I wasn’t a fan of Booker, I can tell he loved Kobe and he knows he is with him. He’s got that mamba mentality.

the Jazz were hurt. They were very fortunate Mitchell and Conley didn't aggravate their injuries.

Ok, so why no injury report on Kawhi yet?
Is he day to day?
Out indefinitely?
Should return soon?
Needs surgery?

Wtf? Does he have a sprain, an ACL tear?

I have never heard of a player injury so hush hush.


Kawhi's own medical staff is his uncle, I believe. lol

going by his antics in the past, Kawhi won't probably play with an ACL something. Heck he didn't play for a year with some iffy hamstring

What's scary about the Suns is that Ayton hasn't even been unleashed. He has a great shooting touch and is going to be a 25 pts per game player soon. The league is lucky CP3 is 36 yrs old, and not 26.

The league is also lucky that LeBron is 36 and not 29. 😂
But how much more of DA do you think the suns will unleash say in the next 2 years?

Trudat! Lebron at 29 with AD owns the league easily. I think it's up to Ayton. He'll make some noise if he wants to eat more. Dude is efficient not just because of dunks. That midrange is money. Booker has Ayton, poor Mitchell has Rudy. LOL!

Who’s better— Ayton or 07-08 Andrew Bynum?

Wow...Paul George choked away 2 critical FTs at the end. I think the Clippers are done. No way Paul George or the Clippers recover from this. Kawhi might even leave the Clippers after witnessing what kind of a choker PG is. What a game!

Ayton is quickly rising to the superstar status of Doncic.

Hmm, pretty good comparison. I think that was peak Bynum. Defensively I'll give the edge to 2008 Bynum. Unless someone lands on Ayton's knees TWICE, he's going to pass Bynum easily. If you go age for age, Bynum's equivalent season would be 2010, but he was in regression. Partly due to those injuries, partly due to preferring to build computers than hitting the gym. LOL!

The Lakers pre-injury version of Bynum had unusually good post moves for his age. He can literally overpower people. But DA is quicker and more athletic, and I think better at defending the p&r. He is the right guy for this Suns team.

Deandre Ayton already savvy... I didn't catch it in real time, but the replays clearly shows him grabbing Zubac's jersey and directs him to Booker. LOL!

Suns going to knock out both LA teams.

I think the Suns have had one of the luckiest playoff routes ever. Every team they've beat has had a superstar player down.

AD
Murray
Kawhi

I'm expecting Giannis to be injured for the Finals now.

The Lakers should get some love for holding up the Suns and taking two games given their circumstance, it seems pretty obvious to me, healthy LeBron and AD we're beating them
