We'll spare the argument of whether or not he's the GOAT, but I'm not really sure how you could even begin to form the argument that the Suns are a favorable matchup.
1-3 in the West are all better. You could probably throw the Clippers in there as well. Maybe they turn it on and win again, but eventually that's going to catch up to you, especially when the competition has gotten better.
Jazz are obviously the biggest threat, IMO. Gobert is going to force Davis to make outside shots and Davis is not have another playoff run where he hits 38% from three.
