I am sure, for some of you, only winning the series will constitute victory. But for many of us, we know there is no chance (barring injuries and Covid taking down all the Suns) that the Pels can win this series. But there are still things to be gained. So, for the purpose of this thread, I am curious to know what things will make this a success for you IN PRIORITY ORDER. For me:
1. No injuries that carry into next year -- Give me this, and I will settle for nothing else on this list. Most important thing, IMO.
2. BI growing through struggles -- I expect Phoenix to throw a lot of different looks at him, including a 1st team All Defensive wing. He wont be perfect, but if he learns and gets better as the series goes on, that will be a huge plus.
3. 3 of the 4 lossess are single digits, and still in doubt with 6 minutes left to go in the 4th
4. 100+ minutes for Trey. No excuse for him not to play big minutes when the opposing forwards are Bridges, Crowder, and Johnson.
Everything on top of that is gravy. Of course I want a win or two. Of course I would love to see Jaxson play well. But as far as the top 4 things that I think will have value and be realistic, this is my list. How about you guys?
