so...we all pretending the Suns aren'tt winning a title?

[highwhey]

if the 6 players are healthy, there isn't a team beating them.

[Wardell Curry]

What a sad state of affairs when you know you have to preface your post with "if they're healthy" because if you don't do that, some crazy will bump your thread in a year if they lost due to a player being unhealthy and pretend that somehow invalidated your prediction.

It would be nice if we could move past tacking this precondition onto predictions, as if we don't already know that it's a given. But this is the internet, and people are both really stupid and like to pretend that this isn't universally understood. Oh well.

[Full Court]

No, OP. I'm pretending that they ARE winning a title.

"If they're healthy" basically applies to any contending team. Sad to say, but every playoffs wont be determined by who is the best team but rather the team that is lucky enough to avoid injuries.

That was my point. The fact that OP had to include this in his post because someone would otherwise bump this thread and a year and roast him if let's say Kevin Durant was out with injury and they lost because of it.

Nobody is hating on them. Full Court I guess, but you can't take him seriously as it's a surprise he even knows how to log onto a website in the first place.

0% chance

[Wally450]

Celtics in 7.

But hey OP, that means I have them making the Finals.

[John8204]

Well winning the western conference is a title...and over the next couple seasons they should win one or two of those. But are they going to win the championship....

[DevBooker'sMask]

ship the ship

100% winning the title

it's exciting

especially for KD - he'll have elite ring count among current players and also have advantages in brand of ball that yields better teams and team ceiling/Finals record, and also a less exploitable skillset (you can rough him up but that's less exploitable than being a massive ball-dominator like Luka and Lebron - you'll never see Durant get beat by record amount with a super-team and preseason favorite - only an extremely weak brand of ball can lose like that)

[Mask the Embiid]

Suns won’t even make it out the west.
