“Vinny’s Take: Making it to the NBA Finals just got easier, but Denver’s chance to win a second straight championship is more complicated. Phoenix, the Nuggets’ stiffest competition to represent the Western Conference, upgraded its depth by acquiring Nassir Little and Grayson Allen, but the downgrade from Deandre Ayton to Jusuf Nurkic leaves the Suns with even worse options when it comes to guarding Nikola Jokic.
That was already an issue for Phoenix. After acquiring a much-needed influx of offense, Milwaukee becomes the favorite to win its second championship in the last four years. The Bucks have the defense behind Lillard to make it work, at least for the next couple of seasons.
