    a few years...?!

    people have already forgoten the suns had as much injuries as anybody in these playoffs

    1 they keep bringing up AD injury and cp3 played with one hand in that series lolololol the problem is hes soooo skilled that he can contribute even with one hand and even without shooting... and AD cant...and AD need the refs to give him 12 FTs a game to win

    2 they keep bringing up Kawhi injury when cp3 missed the first two games of the series(yet suns still went 2-0) and was clearly rusty the next 2 (suns went 3-1)...so you see, its not about injuries

    3 yannis is playing and has recovered from his injury and is dominating now and suns are missing saric and craig, yet its still the susn are just lucky narative? lololol

    Luck is just a part of the nba ring. Its a marathon, you have to be lucky with injuries. They hit their 'groove' and momentum at the right times so suns were ripe to take advantage of their opportunity of injuries on other teams and then just capitalizing on it. EVery year there are buzzer beaters, deflections, bad calls, injuries...Luck ia part of winning, doesn't take anything away from the W. In the end, Whoever wins the title this year, just like last year, and the year before will go down in history as the ring, no question asks, no asteriks.l..injuries buzzer beaters and so on are there every year

    this team seems better than rockets of 2017-18.... deeper and more versatile roster...so many playmakers and shooters that are not a defensive liability, guys that can hit jumper from everywhere on the court, do the dribble penetration and attack closeouts....

    Coach is better too so no 1 dimensional game plan.

    Cp3 making 20M instead of 40M helps a lot. Too bad their owner is a cheapskate, threw away Jalen Smith and holding up negotiations with Ayton lmao

    THEIR ROAD RECORD IS 27- 6
    really impressive since basically no big names on their roster...just ok players...and booker is not a great name.... pick no 13 and if he were playing for rockets and silas, rockets would still be amongts the worst teams in the league

    The very premise of this thread was flawed from the beginning anyway. Luck means something unexpected happens to your advantage. AD getting injured isn't unexpected. You're not lucky if he gets injured, you're unlucky if he doesn't.
