When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

It hasn't been that long since the Suns were nearly the worst team in the league and the Celtics were in the conference finals with the same basic core.

I wouldn't be mad about this but I still think it's Monty. A lot of people say "next man up." Suns do it.

The Suns also just play like a well coached team. They remind me of the Beautiful Game Spurs or the peak Warriors, not in style, but in terms of how no one ever looks like they have a question as to what they're doing. The whole squad moves in unison.

They can sleepwalk through 3 quarters then just put teams away. That's the sign of a team that's on another level.

That’s because they play in the more competitive conference.

Wouldn't take them vs Dallas. The last time Boston was able to beat them was in 2019. However, I think the Celtics have a good chance at the Finals. So much cooler than the Mavs regular season wins vs them.

I think the Mavs could give just about any team a good series except Phoenix.

Dallas can't beat Phoenix when they're bad, I definitely would just as soon not see them when they're good.

MVP/COTY stuff, unless something super weird happens, I can't imagine getting super worked up over whoever wins.

But maybe that's because I only have the energy for one sports-stress thing at a time, and all my focus is on "gently caress Duke" at present.

It sort of goes without saying since they're the 2-seed, but Memphis could be a serious challenge for Phoenix in the West. I'm sure Zogo's data will show they're too young but they are rolling. Winning games by like 20-30 and just running teams off the court.

Yeah, they'd be the youngest champions in NBA history.

That is a good bonus. Stevens gets a little bit of credit for recognizing the weak links and landing Derrick White.

In my head canon cutting Enes was what flipped the switch.

Weird question/observation:

Unless Chris Paul or Devin Booker get pretty hot over the last eight games, the Suns will end the season with no players reaching 10 Win Shares. Has that ever happened on a 60-win team?

My first guess was the 2014-2015 hawks and they had

Korver: 7.5
Milsap: 8.3
Horford: 8.7
Teague: 7.7
Carroll: 7.0

For a top 5

I didn't check any other teams
