It is. Johnson is quite good. By both eye test and every single impact metric.
Cam is a better shooter than Jae, and also better off the bounce. I like both of them, but ~nothing supports the proposition that Crowder is clearly better than Cam.
Disagree somewhat.
Suns were +32 at home vs. Lakers
Suns were +19 on road vs. Lakers
Nuggets were +12 at home vs. Portland
Nuggets were -4 on road vs. Portland
Dude! Watch the game. I really don't think you have that much power!

After we won game 6, one of my first thoughts was I wonder how 1sun would find a way to crap on this lol.

Game 3 and even more so, game 6. The big problem will be Ayton. He may not have asthma but it sure seems like it sometimes. If he can handle it, we should be fine given that we are more of a half court team than the Suns typically are.
There was enough doom and gloom here surrounding CP3's shoulder but we would have needed to hold a virtual funeral for him if 1Sun was here.
yes I do!! Its happened this way for most of the season and the playoffs!!

It wasn't "doom and gloom" over CP3's shoulder, it was frustration with the head coach not doing his job. CP clearly should have not been playing in game 2 and game 3. And even though Paul was solid in game 4, I'm still frustrated by the failure of the coaching staff to check to see if he had decent strength and movement with that arm (he did not, see pre-game shoot-around).
I really hope we see CP at his best and I am NOT counting him out at all but not giving him that extra 6 days of rest from Sunday to game 4 might end up being a summer long conversation here.
Monty is not infallible, but I am going to tread very lightly with criticizing his management of Paul’s injury after everyone was saying Paul should sit out Game 4. The “I’m back” game that completely shifted the series.
I'm hoping Paul is back to at least 85% to start this series. We'll see tonight!

well cam should be better than Jae, he is longer and a better athlete. Problem is Jae has been the better shooter.

Well my guess is he would talk about how Denver was about to whip us, or he would just be conspicuously absent.
he’s not one to ever admit he was wrong.

Crowder is rated as the 3rd best defender in the entire playoffs thus far, and 6th best overall RAPTOR in the NBA playoffs. LeBron and AD would have eaten Cam Johnson alive if he had to defend them for extended minutes like Crowder did.

Some here doubted he'd be ready after seeing how bad that arm was in game 2 and 3 but come on, you know that none of us wanted him to be benched if he showed he was able to play. He couldn't even raise that arm without grimacing prior to game 2; couldn't pass with that arm, couldn't dribble and couldn't shoot (after his first couple of attempts). The coach or the trainer should have checked him out before game 2, game 3 and game 4. And if they had, he would have had almost a week's rest for that shoulder.
