    Nuggets are still the best in the west.

    Durant can’t make anything work unless it’s already working like it was in Golden State.

  3. Kris Realone

    2 teams in the EAST can beat the Suns. Suns have zero depth and non existent Defense. Their offense can cover that but not against Celtics and the Bucks

  4. ALOTA RACHEL

    Yes they were # 1 team in the NBA but Dallas smoked them so reserve your analysis Playoffs is a different ball game

  5. Michael10744

    Did Wilbon really compare the nuggets when they got swept to the suns to now? Lmao two completely different teams

  6. Pickleball Club

    Whatever you say, suns may be good, we thought KD Harden and Kyrie would be unbeatable. Let’s see the Nuggets or the Warriors or the Mavs give them a run, and if that dosent work, Celtics, bucks, or sixers will mop the floor. Period.

  7. Yasser Jalal Al Dine

    Stephen A. just said that the best suited team to beat the Suns is the Bucks… This is with all due respect the worst take ever, because simply the Celtics sweeped the Durant and Eliminated the Bucks too. SO HOW ARE YOU SAYING THAT WITH HEALTHY CELTICS WITH THE ADDITION OF BROGDON AND MUSCALA, THE CELTICS CAN'T BEAT THE SUNS??????????

    The disrespect and ignorance for bucks matters is unreal. They're literally on a 10- 0 run since Middleton came back, they have the best player in the world averaging 40 points, best defence, and on top of that just added Crowder in the mix. This bucks team is 10 times stronger that the team which took the Celtics to 7 games WITHOUT Middleton. I don't see how any team in the league right know could stop the bucks in a 7 game matchup.

    That depends on the health of Chris Paul. He's ancient and will get worse the more games they play. Especially if they keep the every other day playoff schedule.

    Once again, Durant joining a stacked team to get to a championship. Can't really get one own his own. 🤪

    Let's be clear – KD hasn't won anything without the help of Steph, Klay and Draymond. So this is a bus waiting to implode just like Brooklyn. Mark my words, this will be a Dubs vs Celtics finals again.

    Who is stopping Giannis? I respect kd and brooker but will they manage to be consistent in a 7 game series guadred by giannis, jrue, Lopez, crowder and Wes Mathews… I doubt it.

    LOL these clowns learned NOTHING from teh NEts. They pulled this same stuff with them and the Nets imploded. Adding KD doesn't NOT make them unbeatable. They have no bench. Teams with depth ie Celticfs and Bucks will beat them.

    That said, Stephen A must be off his meds because he actually mentioned the Bucks as being suited to beat the Suns. That is the first positive thing he has said this season. I am actually stunned he mentioned them at all.

    I hear the noise, but how are they a threat? If Chris Paul, or anyone else gets injured all that talk goes out the window.
