Judging by the season series these 2 matchup well. Obviously the dynamic a lil different with Murray out.

The nuggets gotta get consistent scoring from Morris and Rivers to make up for Murray being out.

Phoenix is way better than Portland defensively though and that’s where I think the difference is. Jokic will eat but I think Phoenix will limit the supporting cast enough to take the series.

Suns in 6 IMO.

Nuggets have to deal with Crowder, Bridges, and to an extent Chris Paul defensively

Not to mention the “rim protection” from ayton which wasn’t there against Portland

Crazy thing is javon Carter getting no PT but he plays suffocating D

CP3 vs Austin Rivers could be some classic fuckery.

 

[BDBIID]

If Cp3 stays whole Suns in 6

 

[Mister B.]

Series will be dope to watch. Booker about to elevate, although Ayton gon get WRECKED by the Joker. This where not having Jamal Murray comes back.

Suns in 6.

 

[southsil4lil]

Booker vs Murray would've been epic


This should still be a very good series though

This is tough and can go both ways. Im gonna lean suns since Murray is out, but I wont be surprised if the Nuggets win
