Christmas wishlist: Healthy stars in the postseason 

If there’s one thing that the Philadelphia 76ers should be hoping for this holiday season, it’s a full bill of health in the playoffs. The Sixers have one of the most talented rosters in the league, and one that seems to be better equipped for the postseason.

But if they’re not healthy, any outside chance that this team has to make the NBA Finals goes out the window. And that’s what we saw with this team last season.

Phoenix Suns

Christmas wishlist: Another few months of good Chris Paul 

Father time is absolutely bearing down on Chris Paul. At the age of 37, that’s not exactly a surprise. However, the Phoenix Suns should be hoping for another few months of good Chris Paul. However that looks, that’s probably what the Suns will need to have a decent chance to win a title this season.

The Suns have a talented roster but Devin Booker can’t do it alone. Paul has gotten off to a shaky start to this season but the hope is that as he gets healthier, he can begin to put together better performances.
