    If Mavs find a way to advance and Luka’s playing at near 100% levels, I don’t know how you can confidently say the Suns without Booker absolutely beat a full strength Mavs

      they will lose if luka is there without book and even maybe with book

    • Ian Stewart

      @Vivaan Daga so guarantee suns win WITHOUT book but maybe they’d win WITH book? Weird logic that you think they’re better with Devin Booker, they got blown out against every playoff team they played against without Booker except for a flukey 20 point Celtics win which I have not examined the box score of. Suns aren’t unbeatable without Booker and you’re crazy to think that

      Mavs without Luka and without Booker- Suns in 4.
      Mavs w/ Luka and w/ Booker- Suns in 4
      Mavs w/ Luka and w/o Booker- suns in 6 or 7

      @Vivaan Daga 😂 the mavs haven’t beat the Suns since Luka has been drafted.. if Booker plays they won’t win a game.

      no they dont, only if they get bounced in the first round will they know how the lakers feel lol

      @Chukky *a mickey mouse ring, then they will know how the Lakers feel.

      @Chukky they’d actually have to win 17 buddy, learn how to count

      Lakers fans and LeBron haters are some of the worst of the NBA fan base.

      Lakers are dogsht with or without injuries

    I would not be so quick to underestimate NOLA being able to steal this series from The Suns. They are playing the next two games at home after stealing a game from them. Booker won’t play either game. The crowd in NOLA is going to be going nuts for them. BI and CJ could put up some serious numbers. There’s also no timetable on a Booker return.

      @DoMsKiiS lol Ingram had an out of body experience is game 2. Thats not happening again. I’ll be back here when the suns win the next 3

    • XChronicHash

      April 21, 2022 at 3:49 pm

      @sobhan syed Your a casual if you think The Nets are getting swept

    • Slïm3 Wöck

      April 21, 2022 at 5:02 pm

      @XChronicHash an all star had an “out of body experience”…just say you don’t watch him play and move on

    • Joseph Rodriguez

      April 21, 2022 at 9:16 pm

      @XChronicHash Brandon Ingram regularly puts up big numbers. He’s been doing this all season.

    Suns will be eliminated by NOLA

    • Ghost Kid111

      April 21, 2022 at 2:57 pm

      I disagree here’s why..

  6. Doctor Sam

    April 21, 2022 at 12:47 pm

    Warriors would sweep the Suns without Booker

    • FIX FITNESS

      April 21, 2022 at 1:35 pm

      A healthy warriors would beat the Suns in 5 or 6 even at full strength. The Suns haven’t played a healthy W’s team yet this year and still got beat by the W’s twice. And the matchup Booker dnp in, they lost by 22. The reg season overall standings meant little to nothing to the W’s. Its apparent Full strength going into the playoffs was their goal. And the league has only caught a glimpse for two games how dangerous they really are. Don’t be surprised to see the GSW sweep the West again going to the finals. They are a much better team now than w/ KD.

    • Ghost Kid111

      April 21, 2022 at 2:56 pm

      If the Suns get to the WCF against the Warriors they will have Booker healthy by that time

    • Micah Kiyimba

      April 21, 2022 at 3:18 pm

      They need Booker. Their best player. It’s obvious

    • AJ Morales

      April 21, 2022 at 5:47 pm

      @Ghost Kid111 you have a point true 💯

    Can Molly please not talk? She’s so annoying

  8. Jay Tharpe

    April 21, 2022 at 2:12 pm

    I mean let’s be real the suns could make a deep run cause we even saw in the regular season that no matter who was out they still got the job finished and they were winning games

    • angel paige

      April 21, 2022 at 3:52 pm

      suns are done because someone else will get hurt next

  9. T L

    April 21, 2022 at 2:37 pm

    Lettsss go

  10. Dinokale

    April 21, 2022 at 3:05 pm

    It’s a weird time to be both a Warriors fan and a Suns fan.

  11. Samuel Blair

    April 21, 2022 at 3:09 pm

    Montey is coach of the year. Suns only dropped game 2 because Booker’s injury was unexpected. Phoenix will regroup and win the series people need to chill

    • chrisflo24

      April 21, 2022 at 3:41 pm

      They don’t have an answer for BI i honestly don’t think they have anyone who can guard him. That’s a major problem and you can’t forget about CJ or Valanciunas either. Without Book Cp3 will be asked to do alot at his age its risky.

    • Monnie2k

      April 21, 2022 at 4:18 pm

      @chrisflo24 they better not ask CP3 to do alot cos everyone should know about his injury history

  12. ITSAKINGTHING

    April 21, 2022 at 3:57 pm

    These talk a lot of nonsense on a regular basis

  13. Writer

    April 21, 2022 at 4:00 pm

    Not anymore he’s out 2-3 weeks

  14. PHX Scotty

    April 21, 2022 at 4:44 pm

    for sure

  15. J W

    Pelicans in 6

  16. T C

    April 21, 2022 at 5:47 pm

    Booker will make it to the WCF. So Phoenix needs to go past Pelicans (which will happen) and figure out a way to deal with Jazz/Mavs. Mavs with Luka will be the biggest threat to them. I think they can beat Utah without Book.

  17. Humza Mohammad

    Booker or no Booker, the Warriors are a terrible match up for the Suns, if you watched the regular season games you’d know what I mean.

  18. Kohner Warren

    April 21, 2022 at 6:00 pm

    The suns likely won’t make it far without Booker. Plain and simple, nobody else on the suns scores over 30 points a night on a nightly basis.

    • bbryan3921

      April 21, 2022 at 10:25 pm

      Cuz nobody needs to, the whole team contributes ain’t nobody easily passing by them with book or not

  19. Northside

    April 21, 2022 at 6:16 pm

    No

  20. Julius Bautista

    I feel bad for LeBron. In 2018, he and Cleveland were defeated by the healthy Warriors. The next season, LeBron didn’t make it to the playoffs. The healthy Warriors who had defeated him went back to the finals but with injured KD and Klay, and lost. Last season, LeBron and the Lakers got defeated by the healthy Suns in the first round. Now this season, as LeBron didn’t make it to the Playoffs, the team who had defeated him last season with Booker as their best player got injured. Is LeBron cursed?

  21. Tim Johnson

    April 21, 2022 at 8:24 pm

    How far do the suns ever go

  22. Sonya Williams

    April 21, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    He’s not coming back for 4-6 weeks. Yes they won without him, but this is a new Pelicans team and the playoffs. Suns are done.

  23. Studmuffin

    April 21, 2022 at 9:26 pm

    1st round: the people who are confident that the suns are gonna lose do not know basketball. i’d be shocked if phoenix loses.
    2nd round: I still think phoenix has the slight edge with Home court advantage
    WCF: If they get here, it’s gonna likely be a loss
    Finals: very unlikely to be without booker but if they don’t have Book, it would be really amazing if the suns win and cp3 would most likely be finals mvp. It would be interesting if ayton or bridges wins it though. But like I said, this is a long shot in the first place.
