I remember Booker standing up to Jokic in that series, the Suns winning 64 games the next season and then Mat Ishbia blows up the team the following season for Durant.

Looks like you forgot CP3 fell off a Cliff after the 64 win season that ended with us historically embarrassed in the 2nd round, and we were barely over .500 the next year even though the West was really down?.

OKC running away now at the end of the 2nd. But a 14 point lead isn't that big of a deal anymore.

Caruso and Wallace off the bench as elite defenders isn’t fair. Presti was flexing with that Giddey trade.

OKC is the best team remaining and slipping up a couple times this series will probably be good for them.

They have wing defenders to throw at Ant all 48 minutes. He's going to need to find a new level if Minnesota wants to be competitive.

Randle could be big for Minnesota. If he plays like he did vs the Lakers then it'll help take pressure off Ant but I don't think he will be able to win anymore than a game for Minnesota.

Missed the game out of town but yeah Wallace is making himself money in this series and Caruso pickup was huge for them

I remember the Suns won 45, 49 and 36 games with Kevin Durant, the supposed #1 star the Suns needed.
