I truly have no idea what to expect here. team has barely a played together. Our role players have little to none really good playoff experience. And we are extremely top-heavy, depending on our ”big 4”.
but we have KD, one of the best players of all time still playing at a HOF level and now, arguably the best second banana in the league with Booker. That’s an incredible equalizer.
ill say Suns in 6, with some really scary moments when it looks like all’s gonna head south.

If I’m Lou I’m spreading the Suns out and trading 2’s for 3’s. It’s kinda crazy how many shooters they have. If we swapped the 5-8 rotation guys with them we’d be the overwhelming favorites to win it all… Gordon, Mann, Powell and Batum would all be upgrades.

If there is one thing that scares me, it's not finding an adequate Cam Payne replacement/backup plan.

I can't believe the Suns relied on Cam Payne as the sole backup point guard this season.
The Suns should have waived a player and added Saban Lee. I was hoping they would do this up until the last minute.

Lee isn’t on the playoff roster, is he?
Yeah… depending on Cam even through injury going into the playoffs just sucks. I’d probably have put Lee on the playoff roster as insurance and waived or fake injure Bazley.
My fear is no Cam Payne means more God Shamet! as backup point… which ain’t good.

Agreed. If I am Monty, 3pt defense is by far the most important thing I would be stressing.
Not sure about Batum, I think I would rather have Craig.

Our 2nd banana happens to be the best 2-guard in the entire league. A truly great position to be in. I'm still figuring out who guards him.
Wonder if KD takes Kawhi.

They’re probably going to put Mann on Booker. Or possibly Batum if he starts. I think we should start Torrey and put him on Kawhi. KD will guard Kawhi in spurts, and vice versa.

What scares me more is the Suns didn't add another point guard. Cam Payne being injured is thoroughly predictable.
We were saying this same stuff last season. The Suns added Aaron Holiday, but didn't play him.
At least with Saban Lee, he was not afraid to mix it up.

This Suns team no longer relies much on play making from the PG position, even less so from the sub PGs. Okogie is underrated man defender, better than Craig or even Bridges, and should be the first to put on Kawhi and the likes of Murray, Curry, Holiday later.
