Ayton might be traded as he's not performing the way he was before when they reached the finals, not sure about KD and CP3 as they
are aging now and prone to injuries.

I like the athleticism of Booker, but he always ended short. Maybe they needed a much deeper squad to help him and KD for another try chasing the title.

This season is not for them as both Ayton and CP3 are not available and the executions of the plays for Nuggets are
really working well. Core players are all showing eagerness to win.

There are only two things that could happen.

1. Lakers closes up this series
2. GSW would be able to push it on game 7 (hopefully)

Seeing on that recent Nuggets and Suns game then i could say that whether these two teams could be able to match up Denver then it wont really be that an easy stuff on beating up this team.
Jokic and Murray? Dont know if they would be able to stop but well we cant really tell it though on which team will be facing up on semis. It is really just that sad to see Durant pissed off
about on some choking. 

Yes and it's an another 2nd round exit for the Phoenix Suns, this playoffs have been much worse compared last year when they had a good run at first because the Mavericks are a team that they can handle but for the Nuggets, it turns out that it's too much for them to handle. Plus their core being injured gave them a pretty hard time on the court with Booker struggling to rectify his performance which led them to an early loss.

We'll see who will take the fall this time as usual, it will be a blaming game in the end.

The Warriors will have a very tough time winning tonight. Looks like Anthony Davis is going to play. If the Warriors can keep him off the boards and Klay, Steph, and Draymond have good nights, then they have a shot. Anything less and they will be out.

Miami probably ends the series tonight. The Knicks have no heart. Look for Brunson to have a good game, but jusy not good enough. Miami closes it out at home.

They’re saying Chris Paul is done in Phoenix. Vegas currently has the odds on Chris Paul being with the Lakers next season. This wouldn’t surprise me at all as LeBron has always wanted to play with Chris Paul. I’m not sure having an injury prone Chris Paul on the roster with Anthony Davis will be great for the postseason. They’ll probably talk about it during tonight’s game.

There is no doubt that Davis will play tonight because the upcoming game will be important for the Lakers. Also, it looks like his head injury wasn't serious because it's not even mentioned in the injury report. However, that report includes a mention of a right foot and stress injury, which means Davis is having some kind of problem with his foot again.
Let's hope he's healthy enough to no longer get injured literally because of every touch like it was during the regular season.

The Suns pursuing Ayton in the last off-season will be a burden for them. The Suns matching the Pacers' offer for him will be a problem for them. I mean last season, Ayton already wanted to go out in Phoenix to find another team. Pacers wanted them, but Suns matched their offer to retain him. Now their action backfired on them.

As for CP3, I will not be surprised if the Suns will trade him, and I guess he will be joining Barkley and others as the all-star players who didn't won any ring. As for KD, I'm pretty sure that the Suns will build a team around him and Booker. They just need better role players... or they got it already. I guess better bench players.

As for Nuggets, congratulations for them in clinching the Western Conference Finals, and they are waiting for the winner of Lakers/Warriors series. Just for a trivia, Jokic is the first player in nearly 60 years to average 30 PPG, 10 RPG, and 10 APG in a playoff series. On the other hand, the Suns are the 3rd player in NBA history to be defeated, and eliminated by 25+ points in consecutive playoff series.

It's good that CP3 has unleashed the potential of Booker, and Ayton because when he joined the Suns, the impact of him has been felt already by honing the skills of these 2 players. However, when the team needs him in times like this, he is injured. I will not be surprised if he will get traded. With Lakers? I don't remove the possibility of it to happen, but I don't think that he fits there TBH.

We saw Curry, and how he demolished the Kings in Game 7 where he made a history by scoring 50 points. I believe that he will do it again this time, in the road again to force a Game 7 on their home.

There are 2 streaks that are currently active in both teams.
- Warriors have 28 straight playoff series with at least 1 road win, and they are finding their 29th one. Can they do it here?
- The Lakers never lost in their home this series, and Lebron James won the last 15 potential closeout playoff games. I wonder which streak will end tonight.

It seems the game isn't as close as everyone probably expected. The Lakers are leaving the Warriors behind. They have always been taking the lead. The Warriors are the ones catching up all the time. Right now, the lead is kept at a comfortable level, two digits. If the Warriors want to win this game and stay in this playoffs they will have to act urgently. Time is running out, with less than 5 minutes left in the third. This might be the end for the defending champ.

No Game 6 Klay Thompson and I don't like the way he is forcing all those shots. It's not wise for a team that wants to tie the series.

So that's it. We will have a new champion this year as the Golden State Warriors are knocked out by the LA Lakers.
I like where this is going. We might have a chance to see a repeat of that head-to-head by Lebron James and Jimmy Butler in the bubble if ever both of them will make it to the Finals.
Or, a championship for the 2 time MVP Nikola Jokic. Or, a ring that had been pursued by James Harden and the MVP of this year Joel Embiid.
For me though, I think I am leaning with the Denver Nuggets to win the championship.
As of now, it's just 3.20 if they make it happen but I caught it 8.50 when the playoffs started.
