I’ve often said that wouldn’t have made a difference, but I’ve revised that thought. Such a close series… to lose our only legit backup Big def could have made a difference.

But CP3 disappearing and Booker’s stupid foul trouble in Game 4 and atrocious Game 6 coulda made a difference too. Man, what an utter collapse that was.

I keep thinking if the Suns had another rotation 4/5, the momentum may have never shifted in that series.

I'm ready to trade for Isaiah Stewart and hope some of his toughness rubs off on the Suns.

Robert Williams would be a second choice.

About Tyus, I find myself wondering why he isn’t bringing up the ball. Instead he’s been relegated to standing in the corner for threes.

It feels like Book and KD are reluctant to change the offensive game plan.

Plum also takes the ball out of everyone’s hands too when he brings the ball up.

could be... but they throttled us from the jump in game 3 of that series. That game probably sticks the same. But Game 4 was a nail-biter and a solid rotation 4/5 in that game could have been the difference.

The way I look at it, the momentum shifted when the Suns went on the road and they never got it back.

Saric going down in game 1 really hurt. The Suns were never able to adjust to Giannis' drives to the basket.

I admit, when the Suns went up 2-0 in that series, I thought they were going to win.

Everyone, everywhere did. Even my Laker fan friends were telling me to enjoy the ride because this is what title runs look like.
