      Not even true, in the context of the conversation the Lakers played closer games in their losses than the Suns, you can look up the point differential or just rewatch the video, the Suns did manage to get two games, but that was with Booker and KD having all time scoring nights as duos, the Lakers by point differential played the Nuggets closer in every game, but he's not saying it was a close series, that's a significant difference

The fact that KD and booker had the capability to have all time scoring nights and get 2 games and the lakers having a more complete roster and still not being able to get a single game just means that they were not close at all.

      With the Suns big 3 combined experience and skill set the expectation is they win a chip. Doesn't mean they are favorites.

      I mean you're describing it by the negative to make it sound stupid, the reality is would you rather win more overall games by having made it to the conference finals even if you get swept, or would you rather have lost more games than you won and go home in the second round? I think any sane person would choose the first choice, but then making it far and losing has turned into a way to discredit Lebron so Bron haters think losing earlier is better

      So the Knicks are closer to the finals than Milwaukee are? Problem with your statement is the if factor, they're using actual facts, that's like saying Brooklyn was closer to Boston than Milwaukee were last year. Suns actually won 2 games, so did Milwaukee vs Boston last year. There's no way Lakers are closer especially when you've added a player for someone that didn't play in those two victories. Chris Paul didn't play after the 2nd game and you've essentially added an all-star to the team without losing any other piece. Suns have gotten better, Lakers have the same team. We can argue that if Suns had Beal this season then we would've seen a 7 game series I still think Denver would've won but the series would go down to the wire. Plus it's not impossible for Book and KD to go for 80 and now with Beal they don't have to.

    Coming from a Nuggets fan, it is the Lakers (if they keep Reeves). We swept the Lake show but all four games were close. They can play defense and made getting buckets harder for the Nuggets.
    Nuggets may have to score 120+ against the Suns, but that line up is not stopping anyone much less an offense like Denver's. It will be even easier for Jok and the Nuggets to score if the Suns get rid of Ayton.

      No one is guaranteed to win, but barring injury you're going to have Porter and KCP playing better (because they were below their averages), Brown being even a little better (because he's definitely on the upswing) and Braun being A LOT better (now with this experience). Joker and Murray are going to be themselves and Gordon is rock solid.
      Nobody is beating them unless someone important gets hurt or they just have an epic collapse where multiple players shoot far below their averages and a team can play well enough against Murray to keep him to normal numbers.

The lakers legit blew 2 of those games and game one they had a chance to tie/win down the stretch of that game.

Having a defensive coach isn’t going to flip the team that played bad defense last season and instantly make them good all of a sudden and we constantly see players who play no defense being unplayable when they start struggling to shoot.
