Phoenix Rolls In Game 1 Over Nuggets, 122-105

Of the eight teams now left in the NBA Playoffs…. I would say at this point I’d probably like to see the Phoenix Suns vs. the Brooklyn Nets in the Finals.

It would combine former AAA Oklahoma City players on both teams and it would be an obvious heart tug story for coach Monty Williams who’s life changed so tragically back in the 2016 season as an assistant for the Thunder.

And who wouldn’t want Chris Paul at the least to make the NBA Finals for a first time in his career?

An interesting coaching matchup for certain with Monty Williams versus Steve Nash.

Plus the Phoenix fans in my view have been the most ardent so far in these playoffs with their support of their basketball team.

Plus…there’s the Kevin Durant story. It would be nice to see Kevin Durant move on completely away from the narrative his career took when he left OKC for Golden State.

I hope most basketball fans in Oklahoma City can let go of that exit and appreciate Kevin Duarnt for what he’s truly been since he entered the league. That being…probably the second best player behind LeBron James.

Which brings us to this question given the fact for the second time in the last three seasons LeBron struggled healthwise at the back of a season.

At the conclusion of these NBA Playoff who will assume the mantle of the current best player in the game?

LeBron, Kevin, Kawhi or perhaps Jokic?

I know that with this parity with these eight teams it’s going to be fun watching the NBA being reshaped somewhat for the next generation of players.
