Since Luka and Ayton were drafted, Luka has only beaten the Suns once. Part of the reason is Bridges and Ayton on the defensive end.

Luka's going to get his numbers, but Bridges makes him work for it. It seems like Ayton takes it personally when he switches on to Luka because of their draft history.

The Mavs have improved after the trade deadline though and the Suns haven't faced them since the trade. Maybe the Mavs can surprise everyone but I'm still going with Suns in 6.

Both teams faced adversity, were damned impressive, and became better as a result. DAL w/o Luka and PHX w/o Booker.

Luka’s first playoff series without having to deal with Kawhi and being the unquestioned best player... and he delivered.

Old Man CP36 made his coli hater base lean back with a GOAT-worthy close out performance.

I don’t know if it’ll be a long series bc PHX might just be that good, but it’ll be entertaining.

I'm going heart over head and picking the Mavs. The problem though is that the Suns are just too good on both sides of the ball, and Ayton is just a terror against the Mavs. The Jazz would've won if Gobert was able to give them something on offense.
