    If you're a moron who doesnt look at the games themselves.

    They lost to the Pelicans at home, lost to the Clippers without Leonard and were down 40 at HT, got a bailout win against the Clips C team, escaped the Kings by 1 as they were down 4 in the last minute, and got another win over a "playoff team" the Wolves C team.

    The cracks were very visible.

    5 of their 6 wins were by double digits, including 2 games against Minnesota who were gunning for the top seed.

    If you had watched you would have known the Wolves did not care about that game. No player even took 10 shots. Robert led them with 9 attempts.

    They started 0-24 against the Clippers lolol

    Denver vs. Wolves is gonna be the best series in the West this year. Shame it'll be in the semis and not the conference finals

    Suns lack go0nsmanship and big man athleticism. They're too small.

    They beat Minnesota twice, not once, by double digits. They beat the Pels by 13 with Zion, the healthy Cavs by 21.

    I guess you are still bitter about the "powerhouse" Lakers losing to Denver for the 10th straight time.

    Ant was 3-12 and they still won comfortably. Not a good look for the Suns.

    Haven't watched it yet but I am curious to see if it was the wolves defense or just the suns rolling over.

    Prop bet of the year following series sweep:

    KD asks for trade to Denver
    —or—
    KD demands trade to Minnesota!

    Interesting breakdown of the first two games, starting at the 23 minute mark.

    Suns have a lot of great shooters that should work well together but they have no PG to set them up with good shots. Combine that with big defensive issues due to lack of size and physicality and you have a mediocre team. I predicted they would win this series but I'm looking silly right now. Their 3-0 regular season H2H isn't translating whatsoever. Wolves look like a far superior team.

    The last regular season game was the only one with the current roster

    Didn't even notice this live.

    Ant hit his head on the rim again.
