KD joined the Suns late in the season after an injury riddled season prior to doing so, and Giannis is the whole Bucks team, and him being injured or coming off injury is a huge thing for them, as it would be for Denver if Jokic was in a similar situation. Not that it is or was any problem of Denver’s, but I don’t share your certainty all opponents were the best they could possibly be. It is hard to dispute Jokic is the best player in the game in particular, the only doubt about him was whether he could be targeted successfully on defense in the play-offs, to which the answer was a fairly resounding no with a healthy well constructed team around him. If you want better answers ask better questions, but you can't because ALL THE BEST TEAMS WERE AT THEIR BEST IN THE PLAYOFFS, except maybe 76ers who missed Embiid for 1 game out of 7 as you smartly noticed.ĭenver were absolutely deserved and dominant title winners, and now they have shown they can be a strong defensive team with Jokic on the floor will be hard to beat going forward.

You gave me what? What of your questions I didn't answer. Talk about being drunk on your first championship - total one sided homer analysis. Now, next season is next season, you never know. This moves tells you everything you want to know how these teams see themselves compared to champions. Memphis let Brooks go for nothing not wanting to see him ever again. GSW traded Pool who was important peace of their championship run because with their current roster (chemistry) they weren't good enough.

Suns before trade for Beal wanted to cut CP3 to free some money on his unguaranteed contract to try to improve, because they weren't good enough. Milwaukee fired coach that won them championship two years earlier. Same as Boston.Īfter this season Boston traded Smart (soul of their team) for Porzingis (no NY, Dallas or Was fan would want him back). GSW didn't do anything for few years, waited for health. They waited for Middleton and Lopez to be healthy. Same with Milwaukee after losing last year. Moves around the edges because they believed healthy they can win it all. After Nuggets lost in the playoffs last two seasons they didn't make any desperate moves, they traded they 5th-6th best players for 5th best KCP. You can see how dominant was one teams playoffs run, and where the other teams see them compared to champions based on (desperate) moves they make next season.
Nuggets suns regular season series#
Jokic started playoffs with injured wrist on shooting hand (Minnesota series and first game of Suns series, it was tightly taped you can see it on highlights), but they still won it. One more thing regarding small nagging injuries. So WHAT IF they somehow got through to play Nuggets in WCF. Warriors were who they were in the playoffs last year, they were better then in regular season because they got Wiggins back and couldn't get through Lakers. So? Did he broke his wrist and couldn't play. Is McDaniels a difference between losing in the 1st round easily and winning it all? Naz Reid wouldn't even play because in the playoffs teams shorten rotation and their 3 best bigs were KAT, Gobert and SloMo.

Lakers were full of themselves after beating Memphis and GSW, LeBron had crew filming "Last Dance 2" with him, and it took 3 quarters of game 1 to see who is who on the court. Suns come to play Nuggets after beating Clippers easily, they were favorites by a lot of people, and *puff* Nuggets run through them, wasn't close They were never better teams in a season, not in one moment. And every time you think of Milwaukee losing to Miami 1-4 think of Nuggets running through the same Miami team 4-1īoth the Lakers and Suns come to play against the Nuggets on top of they games. It would be different if they lost him for the series after few games then opponent can turn series around, but they get him back to change series and he couldn't.

Nuggets come from being down 1-3 twice in the same playoffs. Giannis was there for the last two games, score was 0-2 in those games. Embiid was there for 6 games out of 7 and the one he missed 76ers won, so he really was no factor

And I stand by what I said, this is a season with no (or at least the least) WHAT IFs in a long time I focused on top 2 players on contenders because they are the biggest difference makers.
