I am going to laugh when the Grizzlies get wiped in round 1. They are closer in record to the 7 seed than the 1 seed

Shaq says Lakers beat the Suns
Nick says Dallas beats the Suns
Kendrick says Memphis beats the Suns

This team has the best road record in the HISTORY of the NBA. That does not mean they cannot be beaten, but for anyone to have any other team as the favorite is asinine.
These dude just aren't watching Suns games. There is no other way to explain this.

If you watch how they freaking own the 4th Qtr - AGAINST EVERY Team there is no way you can think they are going to lose a 7 game series if they are healthy.

The only way anyone is beating us is if they come into the 4th with a lead - usually it's going to take a double digit lead, and that will not happen 4 games out of 7.

The Mavs one is especially funny, Suns have had their way with them since before they got good and are undefeated against Luka in games Ayton plays.
It's a total joke. Aside from Luka that team is pretty bad compared to other playoff teams.

He cannot single handedly propel them to the western confernce finals.

Since the Suns have only five road games left, something in those numbers must be wrong. I dug up the right ones, and the one that's wrong is Phoenix this year. The Suns are 30-6 for .833. To beat the Warriors' mark, they'll have to win out; if they go 4-1 on the road to close the season, they'll tie the Warriors' 34-7.

An enjoyable and infuriating listen. Booker should have been in the MVP discussion all along and they're ashamed they didn't start talking about him sooner... but Booker can't be the MVP because he didn't get talked about until now... meanwhile he, and the Suns, have been demolishing the league all year long.

It's also satisying the Suns gave up a late 1st round pick for Landry Shamet and found Cam Payne in the G-League.

It took Shamet a while to find his stride in the offense, I stated often that it seemed like he was forcing things and rushing his shot, but now, as he has really started to master playing off the ball he has become a monster. He's shooting 46% from three over the last month.

If you're going against a team who's 9th man is a dude who plays solid defense, averages around 10 points a game and hits 46% of his threes... good luck.

Too bad logic doesn't prevail. Why not wait until the season is over.

Shamet has always had a beautiful shooting stroke. Maybe he is only now getting comfortable.

He needs to stay with one team for awhile to develop his game. His style of play still reminds me a bit of Jeff Hornacek.

The Suns don't lose much when their bench comes into the game. They are often a catalyst.

He’s starting to get a lot of love right now. Was listening to Sam Mitchell and his partner on NBA weekend radio and both said that as of today, Booker should be the MVP. Period.

I think he really turned heads with CP3 down. Everyone in the media (and me) kinda expected us to fall off a cliff from great to mediocre… and after a couple games to get our bearings, the ship cruises forward, full steam ahead and it was Booker leading the way with huge road games at Miami and Minnesota and a royal ass kicking if Chicago on nESPN.

He’s getting his due now… of course right as the NBA decided somehow that Embiid and Jokic can somehow be listed as forwards. Otherwise, Book might have crept all the way up to 1sr Team all nba. I expect him to get 2nd at the very worst and we’ll deserved.

If some of the media caught the Timberwolves and Nuggets games back-to-back they had to be impressed with Devin Booker.

Those were statement games.
