Very good team. Playing very well. But I think if Chris Paul were to go down, this is a completely different team. Those other players are playing their rules nicely. I’m not sure they have the bench depth, especially if they have an injury or two to the top three or four players.
I think that’s where the jazz have the advantage. Conley goes down, and they still go up 2-0 on the Clippers.
I think Jazz have edge with depth/bench and coaching. But the Suns look very good right now.
You also have to avoid any recency bias. The Lakers and the Nuggets were both a mess over these first two rounds. Are people overrating the Suns because of this?
