Ayton would dominate the Clippers..this is where you find out if he wants that MAX or not

Crap… clippers meltdown.

Not only does that mean we likely play them, but you can pretty much DEFINITELY mark us down for at least one loss in that series where Ouchie and I will continue to curse all Phoenix sports teams when going to any playoff game in LA.
I mean... you don't have to go lol

I think the Pelicans beat both these teams

Grizz better get a suit of armor for Ja Morant, you know Beverly is going to try to break him in half.

But... at least they have someone who can give it back.

The Clippers period just are a bad match up for us. It’s always hard when we play them.

It's almost better to play small against the Clippers, but if you do, that's playing to their strength with all their forwards.

If Suns play the Clippers, they have to figure out a way to feed their centers.

I am not upset that I don't have to watch another series against the clown show that is Patrick Beverley. What a POS.

Minny team huddled up and celebrating and Beverley running around pounding his chest is the most Beverley celebration ever. What a jackass.

Here is what the play-in opposition for the Suns looks like. Suns will play one of Clippers, Pelicans or Spurs.

Lol… we are the last game… the after thought of the entire first weekend of playoffs.

It's what it comes down to, the Suns being the team that has to wait to find out who they play.

I think to your points the keys to the first round will be the wings. If Mikal can contain PG while still looking for his offense and Cam J/Crowder are hitting threes, I think we either sweep or win in 5.

If they’re not on I could see the series going 6. Tough matchup but it’ll give us a good gauge as we go through this journey.
