We are back! We've been off the past week or so dealing with personal matters, but we are through 2 games of this year's NBA Finals, and it's time to talk about it. Chris Paul and Devin Booker have lead the way for Phoenix, both scoring over 27ppg so far.

Without 2 of the best point guards in the game, Kevi...

The Phoenix Suns are an unstoppable force. Chris Paul has been arguably the best PG of the playoffs and has helped lead the Suns to a 3-0 series lead over the Denver Nuggets, much to my disappointment. Nikola Jokic had an incredible game 3, putting up 30-20-10, but it was not enough to overcome the weakness of his roster. Utah has taken a 2-0 series lead, mostly on the back of incredible scoring f...
