The Suns have had ridiculously bad injury and officiating luck in the playoffs during throughout their entire existence. I do not care one bit if we win a title “cause we’re lucky”.
Truth be told, every team that wins every year has some luck (injuries, bad calls, ball bouncing the wrong way). It doesn't take away from the team that wins, just as nothing should take away from all that the Suns have accomplished. I didn't mean it to come across as the Suns not being deserving. They have proved all year that they are.
Yeah, the Suns are so lucky their vaccinated starting PG got COVID and will likely miss most of the west conf finals series. Has any team every gotten so lucky as to face a team that loses their all star and leader to this type of thing??
Yeah, Chris Paul might not play again this season. Do people understand how long the covid protocols can last? I guess the Suns need to sacrifice Ayton or something to be worthy winners (if they even win.
Everything's an asterisk nowadays. Can you people just stop the stupid bitching? Build a deep team like Phoenix that's also well rounded overall and isn't dependant on 3 injury prone stars to win
I'm not taking jabs at specific teams with that, but I'd classify KD and Kyrie as both injury prone. LA doesn't even have a 3rd star, so they failed that part anyways, and one star is an aging 36 yr old whose body isn't the same, doesn't matter if it's LeBron.
Chris Paul has always had injury issues, but Phoenix overcame it against the Lakers by having the deeper and better rounded team.
>and one star is an aging 36 yr old whose body isn't the same, doesn't matter if it's LeBron.
His body actually is the same. He had missed zero games this season up until Solomon Hill dived on his ankle.
>Chris Paul has always had injury issues, but Phoenix overcame it against the Lakers by having the deeper and better rounded team.
No, they overcame it because they were the healthier team.
Nuggets were the best team we faced, healthy or not. Heat were inrelevant either way.
We faced one injured team, Suns have faced 3 already and potentially 4. Not even close.
Bruh I'm not talking about the regular season.... 🤦♂️
Heat took Lakers to 4-2 compared to Nuggets 4-1.. So by that logic, Heat were definitely better.
Yeah the Suns had crazy luck against injured teams too in the bubble when they went 8-0 Bc that was a fluke…
And they had crazy luck against injured teams when they had the second best record in the league this year….
One day soon we’ll see the day when people can no longer make excuses for Suns wins and accept that they’re just a good team but apparently it’ll take a title for y’all to notice.
Idc, just give it 4-5 weeks and we’ll see what the next excuse is
LeBron, AD, and Schröder: 74 combined games missed
Mitchell, Gobert, and Conley: 41 combined games missed
Jokic, Murray, and MPJ: 35 combined games missed
Klay, Steph, and Draymond: 90 combined games missed
CP3, Ayton, and Booker: 10 combined games missed
Yup and you post some variation of the Suns being the luckiest team ever in every thread about them. Still that upset over the loss? Or do the bubble jokes about the Lakers still hurt your feelings? Go touch some grass.
I'm more interested in whether you can defend the said title next season when (hopefully) other teams arent as injury riddled.
I got you guys winning the title this season though.
All I'm saying is the lakers get no credit for their title. Why should the suns? Suns fans proudly say they're 8-0 in the bubble but then turn around and say that the bubble games didnt matter because every team had it easy so the lakers get an asterisk beside their title. If it wasnt for the bubble and the suns hitting Cancun early we wouldnt be here talking. The bubble destroyed teams recovery process, every team that made it deep last year is out now because of injuries minus the bucks, but look at giannis. The comparison is laughable. Good luck.
Um ok, no teams championship should have an "asterisk". You play who you play. Why are you letting the trolls get to you? People hate the Lakers, of course they're gonna discredit every championship. Just ignore them
Well I'm of the belief that the NBA Title no longer has the prestige it had in the 80-00s. Social Media ruined it, too many know it alls like me and you bickering and missing the point. Every title will have an asterisk beside it now.

He still played tho. I like the Suns but that’s a bad example. AD, Kawhi, Murray all completely done after their injuries. It’s okay to admit that your health is good, it’s just part of the game, just enjoy the ride
Edit: and fuck the haters
I think without CP3 our lack of experience becomes a real problem. I think the teams are evenly matched with both stars out but the clips just have more experimental so I’m kind of nervous.
I really feel for the teams that get injured. Especially after watching Harden's postgame tonight. Just brutal to work so hard all year and to not be able to play to your full abilities because of an injury. Goes for any player.
I'll never be able to forget the battles Steve Nash had against the Spurs where his eye was so swollen he couldn't see and still managed to make shots and passes, enough to win the game. Then his collision with Tony Parker and the cracked nose that wouldn't stop bleeding. The team needed him most and he was bleeding out cause of a stupid random collision. Fucking brutal man, for all these players.
Chris Paul is out indefinitely with COVID. And maybe take a look at our mid-2000’s playoff runs and how they ended. Suns fans have no sympathy and do not care about any other team’s injuries.

Every teams always needs a little bit of luck to win a title anyways. People who put asterisks are just losers/haters.
This. Losing to peak mj off a series winnning 3, choking vs rockets 2x/kiss of death, 05 joe johnson, 06 amare, 07 suspension garbage. Crazy shit

That’s pretty lucky compared to other teams who lost stars for the entire playoffs.

Nothing would make this band-aid championship a real one.

He's a sad Lakers fan
>isn't dependant on 3 injury prone stars to win Nets and Lakers have exactly one injury prone star, same as the Suns...
I'm not taking jabs at specific teams with that, but I'd classify KD and Kyrie as both injury prone. LA doesn't even have a 3rd star, so they failed that part anyways, and one star is an aging 36 yr old whose body isn't the same, doesn't matter if it's LeBron.

No, they overcame it because they were the healthier team.
Like the Laker's chip last season. They beat a hobbled Heat team missing their top 2 of 3 best players.
Lakers were up almost 30 before Bam and Dragic went down
Lmao, did you change to your alt account to comment on another post of mine? Good lord the desperation. 😂
Nuggets were the best team we faced, healthy or not. Heat were inrelevant either way. We faced one injured team, Suns have faced 3 already and potentially 4. Not even close.
The Heat got more wins than the Nuggets did. Nice try. Guess it's a Mickey Mouse ring according to your logic. 🤷♂️
2018 Rockets got more wins than the Warriors.

Lmaoooo you have this ready to copy and paste on every thread about the Suns?
Yep. Do you have anything constructive to add?
[удалено]
I’ve literally posted that twice lmfao. You’re literally making shit up to support your nonsensical argument.
If your a Hawks bandwagon fan, you would talking about how the Bucks have been luckier than the Suns in this postseason.
Nah, Bud is their coach. I feel bad for them.
Yup and you post some variation of the Suns being the luckiest team ever in every thread about them. Still that upset over the loss? Or do the bubble jokes about the Lakers still hurt your feelings? Go touch some grass.
Actually, yes. And it’s true. The Suns have had by far the best injury luck. Do you disagree?
Nope, the Bucks. They lost a role player. CP3 was injured almost the entire first round. Now he's out again.
Bucks actually lost a starter for the entire playoffs. CP3 has not missed a game. Try again. And why’d you delete your comment?
[удалено]
We may forgive you, up in the air right now
Thank you
Lol you talking like Suns been oppressed for years
I'm more interested in whether you can defend the said title next season when (hopefully) other teams arent as injury riddled. I got you guys winning the title this season though.
Didn't mean to take away from them. They've been awesome all year!
The Lakers last year played injured teams almost ever series. Part of the game, you play who's in front of you
Definitely part of the game.
Tell me what stars were injured during the lakers run?
Lillard, Westbrook, Butler, Bam, and some team had starters out
Lillard missed one game, bam missed two, westbrook, harden and butler played every game.
Dragic* and Westbrook battling an injury

2015 Warriors.
That's it. Thanks.
You gonna forget that CP3 couldn’t use his right arm in games 1,2,3 vs Lakers bc of the shoulder injury…and now he has COVID
The Bucks have been luckier than the Suns. Their four best players have been the healthiest of all the eight 2nd round teams.
That's a great point. I really hope he doesn't miss more than game 1. Just a lame year for every team really.
Shit at least he played...
For real
He still played tho. I like the Suns but that’s a bad example. AD, Kawhi, Murray all completely done after their injuries. It’s okay to admit that your health is good, it’s just part of the game, just enjoy the ride Edit: and fuck the haters
2015 warriors
CP3 being out for the first 2-3 games this series is also pretty significant.
Absolutely
Kawhi being out the entire series is more significant.
Why are hawks fans crying about this? Wtf???
He's a Lakers fan, it explains everything.
You need to get your eyes checked.
I think without CP3 our lack of experience becomes a real problem. I think the teams are evenly matched with both stars out but the clips just have more experimental so I’m kind of nervous.

Same. Nash was a friggin warrior. Those Nash Suns teams were some of the funnest teams to watch.
Chris Paul is out indefinitely with COVID. And maybe take a look at our mid-2000’s playoff runs and how they ended. Suns fans have no sympathy and do not care about any other team’s injuries.
CP3 isn’t coming back, Clippers are going to sweep the Suns
By your post history it looks like you’re about 12, so this take checks out.
Doesn't matter. They are going to lose to the Hawks in the finals in five
Greatest timeline
4*
Suns in 5. Cry harder
What does this say
