At what point does the Phoenix PA announcer stop embellishing when a Phoenix player scores???
Being hyperbolic is a big part of his job description.

But, yeah....

It's so cringe....lol

Because the Dubs can keep up offensively.

Maybe I'm discounting the Mavs.

But, something is clearly wrong with Chris Paul.

Could be injury.

Could be that father time couldn't sneak up on LeBron and continued down the I-10 and smacked CP3 directly in his huge bald spot.

This is astonishing, no doubt.

But, I'm not there yet with the Mavs as a contender.

In fairness, I thought the same about Phoenix last year.

I was wrong.
This year all of the teams that made it this far are 'contenders'. The Grizzlies certainly could have won it. There was a path to the Sixers doing it. Bucks, Suns, all the 2nd round teams have a shot.

I agree the Mavs are likely 4th best of 4 but all the teams are very close. If the Mavs beat the Ws in 6 it will not be a shock to me.

I would be floored.

But, could be because I still have ptsd from the beatings you put on my Clippers.

Crazy how far Dallas has come after dropping Zingers and Carlise.

If they get a good big, they will be terrifying.

2 straight seasons where CP and the Suns completely blew their chance at a title.

This year was shaping out to be their year again.

I think Phoenix might have looked past Dallas and was focusing on playing the Dubs in the WCF instead.
Big Costly Mistake.
They played game 6 like a team who knew they had game 7 on their home floor.

Oops.

Seems they overestimated what that is worth.

Phoenix was saving their energy until after the game when it really counts!
