I'm sure many of us are pretty disappointed if GSW and Curry exited again this year.

They just did.
It's okay, they could prepare more for the next season with Klay back in their roster.
Start the chemistry with him and the new guys that will surely be a big impact for this Warriors team to make it to the championship.
Oubre Jr. and Wiseman should also take care of themselves from now on.
They could've been thinking right now what if they were there, it could've been a different scenario.

Dillon Brooks did a good job taking care of Steph with just 6/15 in three for 47 minutes. He made 39 points but that's just Steph Curry.

Memphis started great, after some bad calls by referees and Curry's good performance Warriors tried to close the gap but Grizzlies was the better side at half. I was expecting this performance honestly, Valanciunas played very effective until he got his third foul call, Grizzlies defense was quiet good, Morant and Brooks played okay. Warriors heavily rely on Curry, other players couldn't help much. Steve Kerr find a way or they will end up losing play-off chance second and last time.

They are still down as of now, Curry didn't get enough support and then they have a lot of errors plus Memphis is really doing good defense. So the chances of Warriors are slim, I thought that they are going to explode here, down to 4 minutes now.

I'm sure many of us are pretty disappointed if GSW and Curry exited again this year.

I am not surprised that the GSW is out this year, since Klay is still out, they have a chance next year, but what will be the result of this year to curry's health, he could have played a normal way since they might not make it and reserve it for next year so that with Klay on the lineup they can compete with the same level, but curry carry the team on his shoulder until the end hat's off, what a battle with Memphis, Ja Morant is really an emerging force, I hope the Grizz can add another all-star.

Lakers in 6? I will go Lakers in 4 or even 5 here. If Lebron and AD will be healthy and will not suffer injuries, they can end this in 4 or 5 games. Most of the Suns team are inexperienced when it comes to playoffs and it is the complete opposite on the Lakers team.

I would bet on Lakers if they are healthy but they aren't, fingers crossed if they are but I think Suns was on another level now they may not have that playoffs experience but I know they matured enough like Booker, Ayton and with addition of Paul it's another level. I think Paul can contribute well to teach them that expertise.

Well, I might agree with what you said into what CP3 can bring to his team. He isn't called "Point God" for nothing.
Whatever team he goes, it will improve. Hornets (Pelicans right now), Clippers, Rockets, Thunder and now the Suns. All of that teams improved when CP3 went there.
Now to the match-up. Unfortunately, these 2 superstars aren't as healthy as they are last year and if the worst thing that can happen is that the Suns can beat them in 4-5 games. Still my prediction stands at Lakers in 4-5 if AD and LBJ are healthy all throughout but if they aren't then I will go Suns in 5-6 games.

Warriors down by 13 against the Grizzlies. (49-62)

Memphis really playing good defense on Curry and it seems that the Warriors can't get their offense going right now. In the first quarter Memphis take a huge lead by Warriors was able to come back. But the second quarter was a different story.

Can this be the last game of Steph Curry?

So two quarters left, lets see if they can explode in the third to at least make the game close.

I like the conversation here, I can feel the playoffs already, fans from different teams are giving their honest opinion. You guys rock, I love to see more Suns fans here, it's just Lakers all the time, how about seeing an upset this season?

Wait, can we call that an upset if Suns will win? hmmm.... do you know what it's called guys?

If the Suns will win in this match-up then it will surely be an upset. A very huge upset as they defeated the Defending champions in the very first round and take note that the it has 2 superstars.
I would love to see Suns fans here defending their team but if you will just see the roster and the experience, it is favored in the Lakers.

I don't think it's a huge upset from the Lakers side if they aren't that healthy enough to compete with them. I believe AD and LBJ aren't and that's known as they were out for couple of weeks this season. They may be recovered but I don't think they are what they are from the last year.

If teams can't beat the Lakers at their worst, then that's a problem and a big threat to them. What if they played on their best.

In their recent win against Golden State Warriors, the Lakers are shooting worst and despite it, they able to turn the table.

Lakers, or any team with Lebron on board is difficult to handle in a series match. Phoenix is doing great this season but I don't see them beating the Lakers in a head-to-head series match. Lakers in 6.

If only Lakers are 100% healthy all throughout the season, they might not be on the 7th seed right now. They might be on the top TBH or at least on the top 3.

At first glance between Lakers and Suns, you will see the difference between the playoff experience. Suns did have a great season this year and for me the most surprising team as they are in the last spots during the past few years but now with the addition of CP3 they are in the 2nd seed but in this match, I will go with Lakers too.

Lakers in 6? I will go Lakers in 4 or even 5 here. If Lebron and AD will be healthy and will not suffer injuries, they can end this in 4 or 5 games. Most of the Suns team are inexperienced when it comes to playoffs and it is the complete opposite on the Lakers team.

Plus, when you have AD who is an amazing player and won a championship last year and one of the best bigs in the league currently, and Lebron who is godlike in playoffs, that is just not something a suns team that is going to playoffs for the first? second or whatever time, that is just not enough to beat Lakers.

The timing is good. Lakers superstars got injured during the season and have given enough time to recover so they can able to play in the playoffs. Not that fully recovered but at least their presence is good. The standings and placing no matters anymore. Even they lose against the Warriors and take the 8th spot instead, they can handle the Utah Jazz.

As I said before, I don't see how Phoenix Suns, even how they dominate the whole season, winning against a series match in the Lakers even it will reach a concluded game, Game 7.

Yes, we might see a game 7 for the Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers. I would say that they are still adjusting, specially Lebron which I think is still in the restricted minutes. And it's no wonder why the Lakers are favoured in this series. It might surprised some, but for the majority, everything points to a Laker victory against the Suns. And if Lebron is improving (quality basketball), it will be very dangerous to the Suns.

This was a shorter season as well so it was with 72 games, and it was a rushed season as well with a compact schedule all of that is known, which means when Lebron and AD got injured Lakers ended up playing sooo many games without them, and obviously they lost because which team would be good without 2 superstars? Remove CJ and Dame and blazers would tank with like 20 or less wins for example, superstars do matter a lot. So long story short Lakers ended up at 7th seed only because they were missing their superstars. Which in return means that they were actually fighting for a top spot, they started the season at the top spot for a while as well and were always in top 3 or 4.

I will bet on the Suns in game 1, if they lose I will double in game 2, and if they win, I quit and look for another series to bet.

That's a good plan, can I follow it? lol... I wish I have a lot of money to spare, this is the time that betting should be intense but due to the pandemic, I have to save some for my basic needs. Of course, I will not pass the playoffs, I could still enjoy betting even smaller than my usual bet.

Don' worry mate, you don't have to parlay as Suns will take game 1 then give the rest of the games to the Lakers, Grin

So you think that being the defending champion automatically makes you the better team? If you want let's have a fun between us. 500 usd that Suns will eliminate Lakers?

Absolutely yes!
"DEFENDING CHAMPION" that means you're currently better than any team in the league. Basic initiative, how could a team became a Champion If the other team is better than them?
I know, there's a lot of changes with the current roster, but again If you're not aware the Lakers were not healthy the whole season.
If you want to check all the sportsbook, majority of them will have the same odds. And that means, I am not the only person who thinks that

But Lakers have the experience here, that's there main advantage here. Scratch the regular seasons game, this is play-off so everyone needs to step up and hope we will see a good first round match-up.

I agree with you, Lakers might win this series but Suns here will definitely give the Lakers a tough series. What I saw in the Warriors game convince me to bet against the Lakers in game 1 of the Suns vs Lakers series, I like the Suns here before the Lakers will figure out how to beat them.

Sparing some crypto for the Suns is not a bad idea knowing that they are really aiming to win the series,
game 1 might be for the Suns while Lakers still figuring out how to beat this team.

though with the series the chance for the Lakers to win is much higher and that's how bookies see that, tough competitions,
very interesting series to watch out.

Playoffs is more different than the regular season so expect more entertaining and exciting games around!

I guess as a gambler the best chance to bet on the Suns is game 1, if they win, just quit betting on this series as the Lakers might win the next games. This is my plan, I will bet on the Suns in game 1, if they lose I will double in game 2, and if they win, I quit and look for another series to bet.

Based on the odds it's called an upset as the Lakers are the favorites to win in the series.
Don't confuse yourself, Lakers are just down in standing but they are still the same team, they will crush this Suns in the series, lol.. just kidding.

Well, I really hope so but I will never underestimate the Suns as this is the first time they are in the playoffs after many season of playing bad basketball.

Suns will be overwhelmed by the lakers for sure, Ayton is will play only his first playoffs, the only player with playoffs experience so far is paul, and if LeBron will guard paul it will be the end of it, the only player that brings the team to playoffs is pauls experience and leadership so if they lock the leader they will fall in the lakers hand.

Lebron will never guard Chris Paul, lots of players that the Suns will score if Paul will not, and Paul is a great passer, he can still make a play without scoring. Let's take a look at the Suns roster.

https://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/phx/phoenix-suns

These are young players, except Paul, so even if they don't have the experience of a playoff, I'm sure they will give their best to win against the Lakers. In addition, it would be a shame for Monty Willams who recently won the Coach of the year award to have an early exit. Both team's reputation are on the line actually.
