Not counting the years that the Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs won, the Eastern Conference has won 24 out of the last 25 championships. That's DOMINANT!
but they suck

You transport any of those teams to the present, they’d get wrecked by the hornets

absolutely wrong.  next, you're going to tell me that lebron is the goat.

If Giannis doesn't come back the finals will be a sweep.

Last night? That was the hawks without their best player and the suns are better than the hawks even if they had young.

Their team is pretty rad. Uniforms are great. City is hype. I hope and believe they will be really good for awhile. Phoenix is cool. If vacation in Phoenix.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Well they sucked complete crap before Chris Paul and now they rule complete crap with Chris Paul so if they want to be good for a long time they will need to replace him in the next couple years since he is one hundred years old.

people forget but PHX was the only team to go undereated in the bubble AND they did it with out Chris Paul!!

but seriously i agree 100% CP3 has been exactly what the Suns needed but PHX has been a solidly above  average franchise, especially in the superior Western conference

They finally drafted well to get some talent to go around Booker in Bridges and Ayton.  Ayton and Cam Johnson have made giant steps in this playoff alone.  Between that and Monty Williams, Phoenix got to a point where they were good enough to be attractive to Paul and he took them to another level.

I think one of the best things that they've done is develop Cam Payne to be the backup.  He pushes the ball and largely creates chaos which is great with a second unit as well as a good complement to Paul who is typically more methodical.  I'm worried they might think he is the answer post-Paul though and I think part of his success comes from that change of pace.

Right on Chi, it’s cool that they’ve bucked modern conventional wisdom as well. Not only are they the best passing team in basketball, but going with a true center like Ayton dominating pick and rolls and having a pair of guards that carve teams up from the midrange is really fun to watch. They’re abusing Lopez in the the Bucks drop defense.

Well they were 34-39 before the bubble and they were 19-63 in 18-19.  Then 51-21 this season.  Chris Paul has made a huge difference.

Absolutely, I didn't mean to downplay that.  I just think they built the infrastructure that was attractive and capable to be changed by Paul by improving from 19-63 to 34-39 + the bubble 8.

Wish it had gone to seven but it was refreshing seeing two teams in it that never make it. Seemed like Chris Paul kind of sucked but his stats would suggest otherwise.
