Series Thread: Conference Semifinals: 1) Denver Nuggets vs. 4) Phoenix Suns

[HurricaneDij39]

Let's try this again.

I think Phoenix will win but should be an interesting series.

Suns in 6

Phoenix will have their hands full with Denver because they play no defense

I'll go Suns in 7

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Basically a coin flip kind of series.
Nuggets in 7...if everyone is still healthy by then.
But I could also see Suns in 7 for the very same reason.

I'm confused, why is it Suns vs Nugs in the 2nd round? The Nuggets are the #1 seed, shouldn't they be playing the lowest remaining seed?

Hehe. This is the NBA, not the NFL.

Suns in 6.

I’ve got the over going 5-1 in 6 games.

Game 1 Saturday night on TNT

I’ve got the over going 5-1 in 6 games.

I guess I have to make a pick. I’m going Nuggets in 6. Suns aren’t it this year. Not enough depth and not enough defense against a great offensive system. They don’t have a cover for Murray while also being able to lock down the other pieces. Additionally, because the Suns have no bench, their starters will have to play mad minutes in that Mile High atmosphere.

Does everybody see where this is going? The Lakers are going to win the West and the board will never hear the end of it haha.

1 step closer to the Jokic vs Embiid finals

Sixers haven’t beaten the Celtics in a playoff series since 1982. They are 0-5 since. That’s 40 years my guy. I’ll believe it when I see it. Celtics own the Sixers. 3-1 series this year and in the one win they needed 52 out of Embiid to win.

This is tough. I think PHX's defense is shit and DEN is a dangerous team. If Dbook plays like he has been...I don't see Denver coming. He is a great player but seems to fold in certain moments. I want Denver to win but I will take Phoenix in 7

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Somebody in 7

I dunno. Have to see what the first couple of games are like.

Right now i'm inclined to pick Denver

 

[fightinfunbags]

Do you use KD on Murray if you’re Phoenix? Murray like a lot of guards can be bothered when you put size on him. That’s what Minnesota figured out too late.

Suns in six.

Those scoffing at the Suns' bench clearly having been paying attention to the Nuggets all season long. Christian Braun who has hardly played this season, is currently our 8th man. Kid has a nice future but I have reservations on whether he's ready for the moment now.
