I don't buy into the Suns either but the field is filled with many flowers that may bloom.
History tells us that you need a top 5 guy to win. I just checked basketball-reference and the top 5 guys are the same for Win Share and VORP:
Jokic
SGA
Luka
Giannis
Sabonis (huh?)
The top two are mine. Which of your three guys do you have the most confidence in?
reply
Giannis. Heat take out the Celtics and then Bucks have a clear path to finals against Clippers. Kawhi is a top 5 guy in the playoffs.
reply
I also think Giannis is your best shot, but the Heat have been as big of a problem for him as they've been for Boston.
reply
Heat take out boston in first. Cavs take out heat in second. Bucks take out Cavs in east final.
Bucks vs Clippers final. Clippers win (gotta support my wife here and go Clips. Also I am a Kawhi fan even though he abandoned our potential mini dynasty).
reply
The Heat are heating up. I don't think they'll see Boston until the 2nd round, Bill Simmons is already getting nervous about that second round matchup.
The way the Knicks manhandled the Cavs last year, do you really think they can withstand the Heat?
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter because the only teams that might be able to beat Denver are Boston, OKC, and Minnesota.
