    The loss of role players like Saric is always huge. Reminds me of how fans that don't follow the Rockets specifically only talk about CP3 being injured against the Warriors, but don't know how big of an impact losing Moute had.

    by the time we need to worry about who will guard Giannis, he’ll probably be approaching retirement

    I mean CP3 was the reason we were going to get past the Warriors, despite not having a healthy Moute that whole playoff run.

    I cant imagine how anyone would be inspired by a player like Giannis. Im just grossed out by his basketball.

    If Moute was healthy he would have made a big difference.

    Oh I'm with you. I'm just saying there's a much greater chance we win even after CP3 goes down if we'd had Moute.

    Giannis with back to back 40+ and 10+ game. Only other player to do this in the Finals? Shaq.

    He's also just the 6th player to have back to back 40+ game in the Finals, joining Jordan, Shaq, Lebron, West and Rick Barry.

    Why is Breen not calling Kareem by his name?

    Yes! This dude acting like we will be going to the finals soon.

    Everybody needs to remember that this Suns run they have been incredibly fortunate to play so many wounded teams. There is no way that team with this much playoff inexperience will make playoff runs this deep. There is a reason why they are the first team in NBA history to go from not making the playoffs to make it all the way to the finals. Don't come at me @hakeem94 , not trying to speak down on the Suns if they win this championship, but just stating facts.

    I'm not saying he would not have, but we are talking about having CP3 down vs Moute. Huge difference. Moute was badass that season, best season of his career actually, but would Moute have hit a three during our historic 0-27 run? Or would Moute have made a difference when the refs swallowed their whistles on Warriors undercutting Harden?

    Don't think so.

    at this point, Scott Foster doesn’t even have to do much…just him being involved in any capacity will ensure a CP3 L

    Foster + CP3 = L is like 2 + 2 = 4…it’s a fact now

    You know he is talking finals run? Who cares who guards Giannis during the regular season. Lol. I sure as hell don't.

    Well he was our best perimeter defender. He may not have hit a three but he sure as hell would have helped our defense. Remind you that those minutes we had to play Ryan Anderson lost that game for us.

    Obviously Cp3>>>Moute though.
