I've been a big Kawhi guy since since Toronto took out the Bucks a coupe years ago. In fact I thought he had eclipsed Lebron as the best player in the world until Lebron got back over in the bubble. Don't like that he sits out so much, but he is one of the greats of the game.

Donovan Mitchell is averaging 34.4 ppg over the past two seasons in the playoffs.



[Note: And for FNG... he's had a negative +/- in only two of those games... including the 57 point game where he had a 74% TS.]

I'm definitely hoping Edwards can be our version of Mitchell.

I attended game 2 in Phoenix last night. It was my first NBA playoff game and it was fun. The fans were rabid and ready for a reason to cheer and they got it as the Suns ran away in the second half. The score would have been worse if the Suns shot halfway decent in the first half.

I really see no reason why Denver will advance from this series unless the Suns have some serious injury trouble. They are a much deeper squad. Jokic just has to do too much right now. It reminds me of so many instances with KG back in the day. The Nuggets back court was atrocious last night and MPJ channeled his inner Andrew Wiggins/Ricky Davis. They should cash him in if they have a chance. Their best bet now is to run the offense through Jokic and always offset him with Gordon. I don't really like Gordon being the facilitator but it might be their best option when Joker sits. Not sure why Bol Bol didn't get run either.

Will Barton is back from injury so that could be a big lift if he can play well. That backcourt for the Nuggets is pretty sad in terms of starting for a team that was hoping to make a deep playoff run.

That Buck game tonight was an absolute war. Reminded me of the Knicks-Heat games of the 90's. Neither team had a real run in the 2nd half. They just kept trading elbows and occasional baskets. I feel like it might be the only game the Bucks get. Hope I'm wrong.

Apparently there's real animosity from KDs end when it comes to Giannis. It makes the series a little bit more interesting for me. It also solidifies my belief that Durant is the biggest mental midget the league has ever seen.
He came into the league as such a likeable figure. I can't think of a player in any sport that I went 180 on more than him.

How about Darren Sharper?

I agree with Pork on KD and also with monster on Sharper. I would add Kirby Puckett to the discussion.

KG for me.

And just throwing another out there. I was never a fan of Matthew McConaughey until I saw the movie Failure to Launch. After that, he became one of my favorites.
