Well yea - Hawks are without Young and Bucks are without Giannis.

Well Chris Paul is gonna die and miss three games and then come back for game 4!

You can take that s**t to the bank. Can set the date for our Suns parade already.

100% dude would give Ballmer a few choice uppercuts if Ballmer tried to grab his junk.

Lol rubber in the white shirt upper right.

Lmao

Sixth and John - do you guys still disagree that the Bucks roster is better than ATL's without the respective stars? I know it's just one game, but Milwaukee had a pretty damn good roster
Yep. One game and it was at home for the Bucks. I fully expect Atlanta to win Game 6.

I have a feeling Young comes back for game six

Btw…where do you rank CP3 all time on PG list if he wins the title? We are adding to the legacies of players for losing in 2nd round at home - CP3 probably gets into the top 5 all time PG list?

I think you have to take in the totality of his entire career. it's kind of hard to rank somebody before their legacy is done. who knows what happens after this season? Does he collapse in the Finals and the Bucks or Hawks win? Does he re-sign with the Suns? do they make it to the finals again? Do the Lakers, led by LeBron rebound and win it all next season? Too many questions to rank a guy at this point.

Hope he comes back in the NBA finals if Bucks make it there. Best player in the playoffs this year.

Already has 2MVPs and a DPOY.

A championship at this stage of his career without a top 10 player on the roster will be a massive boost to his legacy.

Agreed. As a general fan of the NBA just viewing from afar this was his year to break into the Finals, especially after getting past the Nets (which won't be so easy next season), and then the injury occurs. Complete bummer. I'm glad his teammates picked him up tonight and hope they can do so again. But even then I don't see a hyperextension of his knee as an injury you can come back from in any good shape in time for the Finals. Unless Giannis is just super human and can do it and play with great impact. He'll need to be himself for the Bucks to have any chance against the Suns and I don't see it.

Not for me he doesn't. In no order.

Curry
Magic
Stockton
Oscar
Isiah

Hence the - if he wins the title. I think he makes it. List of 10k assists to along with a winning a chip as arguably the best player on the team is extremely short. Only Magic Johnson has that distinction so far.

My top 5 if Suns win it all:
1. Magic
2. Curry
3. Big O
4. IT
5. CP3

On top of that - if he retires at the no 2 spot on the all time assist list (he's gonna be at no 3 early Next season) - I think he can jump all the way to 3.

That's fair too. I got him ahead of Stockton with a title plus being a member of the Q does make me question his decision making.
Not sure if I could bump him based off this year. They would of beat LA without Davis, Denver without Murray, LA without Leonard, possibly even Milwaukee without Giannis. The run of injuries is something that's tainted this year's playoffs.

But he's still arguably top 5 without a ring. Probably right there with Stockton.

Wouldn't shock me if CP3 already has a ring if not for going down in previous playoffs. Injuries are a part of the biz.

Yeah I call bs on this one. Which year would CP3 have won a ring without injuries?

The Rockets would have probably beat the Warriors when CP3 pulled his hamstring in the closing seconds of the game 5 win in 2018. I believe they were up 3-2. Whether they beat the LBJ led Cavs is not clear but I think they would've been the favorites.

Walt Frazier is definitely above CP3 in a top PG list.

Yeah thats the most glaring example. NBA best record, 3-2 lead, point god goes down and Warriors win a ship.
