Malone was still pretty good, It was Stockton's decline, especially after being injured by Webber in Sacramento where the Jazz became human. Everything depended on Stockton then like everything depends on Rudy now.
NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread
- Thread starter yamers
- Start date
The non Jazz series I'll be paying attention to in the second round is Bucks-Nets. If the Bucks can pull that off, I'll really like our title chances.

I just don't see any way the Suns last more than 5 games against the Jazz.
The Jazz won't make the same mistake the Lakers did, and leave Booker in single coverage. Double off of CP3. If CP3 scores in his injured state, so be it.
They ain't letting Booker beat them.
The Jazz will beat the Suns in 5 games. I'm more worried about the Nuggets than the Suns.

When have we ever shut down scoring guards? If we double Booker then he’s going to find someone else wide open. IMO, you don’t shut them down, you outscore them.
I think Mitchell vs Booker is going to be a wash.
It’s going to come down to the “other” guys. Does Rudy dominate Ayton? Does Conley outplay Paul? Do Jingles, Bogie, Clarkson outplay their guys?
I don’t know how many games that series would go. But I can’t imagine we take them out in 5. Seeing what happens to Denver will be a good barometer on how good Phx is.

Dude... it’s like you didn’t watch any of the jazz-suns games... and like you don’t know anything about how Booker plays + what the jazz defense is designed to surrender.
I ****ing guarantee the jazz would not dispatch the Suns in less than 6 games. That series has 7 written all over it.

Was CP3 healthy for those games? Yes.
Is he healthy now? CLEARLY NO.
I'd be really worried if CP3 was fully healthy. Devin Booker by himself isn't beating Utah.
EDIT: Look I respect Phoenix for what they've done this year. But Ayton, Bridges, Booker, and Johnson are still in their first playoffs. Utah has WAY more experience, and has all of its players fully healthy. Ayton, by the way, has a shoulder issue, maybe even similar to CP3s, because of how LeBron bumped him last night.
If Utah is really the team this board thinks they are, they can and SHOULD beat this Suns team in 5 games.

Tom Brady “lost to Foles.” Lol.
I love it when fans say stupid stuff and then turn around and scoff when players—especially the ones who are under an enormous amount of public pressure, the likes of which a fan will never experience—say or do stupid stuff.
The biggest mistake sports fans make is the assumption that the superstars they follow are balanced human beings. They ain’t balanced.

How’s Conley doing right now?
I thought I was losing my mind until you came into these threads. Thank god.

I'm assuming Conley will be fully recovered after a significant break from the 1st round to 2nd round.
If he isn't that certainly evens things out, and makes Suns-Jazz almost a pick-em.

Ok then. And you’re also assuming that—unlike Conley—CP and Ayton don’t undergo the human process of healing. Gotcha.
