This year could finally mark the death of the superteam.

Booker literally led his team to the NBA finals and a franchise records wins as the undisputed best player on his team.
Let's not get silly now.

Denver has some legit competition this year in the West. Let's see if they have it in them

So happy that Durant fails again..if wasnt for Steph he would be title-less in his whole career.

It is happening on Team USA this summer. I swear to god. There isn't a world where he walks into practice and sees all those old dudes and doesn't wreck their sh#$. Everyone is hyped on LeBron/Curry teaming up but there is gonna be a coup.

PHX is just unbalanced. Too much perimeter talent and no size or presence in the paint. Nurkic has been worse than Ayton for the team

Has KD been ring relevant since Bucks 2021? That was 3 years ago

The Suns just aren't constructed well. It's nice to have a midrange assassin in the playoffs... but you don't need 3 of them. Then they have a traditional center and no point guard.
I'm never going to let the players off the hook for losing, but I think management deserves a lot of blame for this teams shortcomings.

That term is subjective. Many have called Denver a superteam. If they repeat, you'll hear it louder.

Suns vs Timberwolves is a perfect example of regular season success against a team doesn't meaning anything.

Nope, blame KD. He's just a Hooper. He forced his way to Phoenix gutting the team. Time to eat this turd sandwich.

I don't know how it's possible on the Suns, elsewhere sure he's a great player. I'm not saying he or Luka will never get a chance to win a title.Mr Puddles wrote:KGDirkTD_Fan wrote:It's really seems like 2021 was their only shot at a title in the Booker Suns era.

So true, a 27 year old will surely have no other shot in the rest of his career.
Wonder if you had the same take on Doncic when the Mavs failed to make the play-in tournament last year.

Anthony Edwards just gave an interview talking about killing what's in front of him. Dude wasn't even smiling, felt like a 1987 Mike Tyson interview. This dude is just different lol!

Can't wait for the Nuggets/Wolves match up, 2 Mafia bosses, Jokic is Michael Corleone, ANT is Sonny.

I think we're talking about superteam in the sense of a team put together by getting already established stars in one place.
