I would add that this year (depending on Giannis's injury) we may see a team win the championship without an elite Top 5 player on their team. Looking back maybe the 2011 Mavs win would be the last time that happened but Dirk was close enough.
In the NFL with 52 players on the roster you can win a championship without the elite QB. Just 3 years ago we saw Foles win and a couple of years before that Flacco won. |

Bucks up 3-2. You would think they can win one of the next 2 games. Depends though if Young comes back though.

These blowouts in the playoffs are getting pretty boring. Seems like even in a close series that goes 6 or 7 games, most of the games aren't very close. Game 1 has been the only good game of the Bucks/Hawks series so far. Game 3 was good until halfway through the 4th quarter when the Bucks pulled away easily.

Who needs Giannis when you have Brook Lopez looking like he did a decade ago?

Donovan Mitchell was hurt as well but played through it. It hurt his defense more than his offense. Offensively, Mitchell still scored at a high pace. Just couldn't keep anyone in front of him defensively. |

He probably won't win on his own as a superstar in Utah. However, what's stopping him from joining with other superstars in LA, Miami, NY? |

Middleton taking over. He has been playing great since Giannis has been out

Goodbye Hawks. It was a good run while it lasted.

Another boring blowout. Shocking. This is how the Finals is gonna be too. It'll probably be the Suns in 6 or 7 and every game will be a 15-25 point blowout.
