[infection]

I bet you we fake a Mike Conley COVID so we can divert attention from the hamstring and get people to expect him to be out.

Suns HC Monty Williams is meeting with the media at noon today... This should be interesting.

Let the record show that we all argued about Chris Paul's COVID status in the thread of the most important game of our season so far. Also note: Chris Paul doesn't even play for the team we are playing.

I mean the Jazz sweep the Suns if CP3 doesn't play. No one is scared of Booker, Ayton, Bridges, Johnson, and Payne without CP3 playing.

Its a fairly big deal.

Do not let the training staff see this... quit planting thoughts in they head.

Correction @MT Steve has a reading comprehension issue and promptly logged out after he looked like an ***.

IDK about sweep... we have our own injuries... book, Ayton, and Bridges are all very good players and the supporting cast is solid.

I do think people are not looking at Aytons improvement enough in this turnaround. No doubt he’s benefited more than anyone from Paul being there but he is no longer the rookie who has no clue how to play basketball. He’s a huge part of the reason the Nuggets couldn’t get going.

The Jazz have experience playing without Conley and Mitchell.

The Suns have played the entire year with CP3 (I think he missed just 1 game). Asking that group to play differently against the best team in the NBA in a hostile Utah crowd? Yeah thats asking a lot.

You are absolutely correct, but can we please address the Los Angeles Clippers first please?

I think we go up 2-0... sweep? Maybe I guess but Book can get loose and Bridges might be the best possible defender to guard DM.

I respect their cast. But they are all in their first playoffs playing with one of the best PGs in NBA history.

Take CP3 away, and that group looks a lot different.
