Nuggets the most overrated 1 seed in West in 20 years ???

[homie1975]

I keep saying it.
Only 53 reg season wins.
West #1 seed typically has 60+ wins.
yes they have the Joker and Murray and Porter Jr.
2 AS and one 2nd tier AS.
outside of that a big drop off.
such a boring team, too.
malone a good coach.

if they do not win G4 in Phx w CP3 out, and let this series get tied 2-2, look out.

either way, DUBS to win the West and make the finals again................

Paul is a college player now

He’s the number one reason why Phoenix never succeeded

Would need to look back more at others.

Suns last year plus when Nash was MVP could be one that comes to mind

 

[Wagerallsports]

To be honest all of these teams suck

None could even beat the runner up from 5+ years ago

 

[stormtrooper8]

Warriors/Lakers are probably the two best in the West

Heat/Knicks are garbage. How is this is a second round playoff series?

Easy street for Boston IMO

 

[stormtrooper8]

All the talk was about how the East was finally better than the West

That is clearly not the case

The Nuggets are good but they're vulnerable. I wouldn't call them overrated even if they lose because I just think there are a lot of good teams in the West and that any of the four remaining could win the NBA championship.

Paul was relevant 7 years ago

I don't think they're viewed highly enough to be considered overrated. I think most know they're not a juggernaut

I think any team has at least a shot to win it all except the Heat and Knicks

Sixers may be in that group too

Joci and Murray need one more star for a big 3

Michael Porter Jr. is a good player but I guess you can't count him as a "star." He is their third best player imo though.

no Bro, the SUNS 05 through 07 were much stronger than this Nuggets Crew.

the problem is they kept running HOFers Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Coach Pop.

 

[jjgold]

Can Durant and Booker play well again?

So much pressure on them

Denver can get game 4

Those Suns teams were better but it was clear they were never going to win the title is my point

Last year’s Suns team might be a better example

Slow down

Series
Not over

Oh stop

You said Jalen Brunson was the best guard in the NBA

No take will surpass that

Besides no one saying the series is over

yes LY the suns were a bit disappointing in the NBA playoffs but i give them a bit of a pass because they did win 64 reg season games coming off the prior season when they won the WCF and lost to the Bucks in the finals. so they went on a deep playoff run in Spring 2021 and then turned around and won 64 games in the following season so they had to have some weary legs.

they reminded me of Dallas 2006 who made the Finals but lost Wade and The Heat and then the following year they won almost 70 games and were exhausted, flaming out against GS in the first rd of the playoffs LOL.

LY as the 1 seed the SUNS ran into the 4 seed Dallas who was playing out of their minds with LUKA and CO totally gelling and it took 7 games to KO the Suns and of course it was a real stinker of a G7.

let's see if Denver can take a 3-1 lead on the CP3-less Suns.

if not, i think the Case gets stronger against them as the Worst #1 seed in the West in decades.

 

[homie1975]

Suns sans CP3 just won 2 straight to tie the series 2-2.

Denver is making a strong case as the most overrated 1 seed in a few decades if not longer.

 

[stormtrooper8]

Booker 34-43 over the 2 games. absurd

KD great tonight

Suns don’t seem great either. Too dependent on those two

Lakers/Warriors is the WCF
