Curious as to everyone’s thoughts on this. If Murray is healthy, does Denver have the top 2? Does anyone’s top 5 exceed Boston’s? What are the most compelling arguments/discussions in your mind?
Bucks have the best top 2.
Best 2 is Philly
Compelling top 2s: Philly (Embiid + Maxey, but it’s WAY too early), Denver (Jokic + Murray), & LAL (Lebron + Davis when both healthy) as guys that play off one another, with LAC (Kawhi + PG), PHX (Durant + Booker), BOS (Tatum + Brown), & MIL (Giannis + Dame) as best pure talent combos.
I think Denver has the best top 5 when healthy. I am also a bit biased.
Murrays better than brown in the playoffs. KP white jrue are all better than the rest of the nuggets guys
Murray gonna be the next Jimmy butler…he is so hard to rate because of his regular season dip, but can’t really hate on a guy who always shows up once the playoffs come around.
Clippers
Celtics
Evaluating Murray is so hard because he’s legitimately a top 40-50 “just a guy” player in the regular season who becomes a top 10-15 player in the playoffs lol
Like I think Denver’s supporting cast is actually pretty meh in the RS because they rely so heavily on Jokic but come playoff time I’m suddenly way higher on it with the way Murray plays
Still the Celtics right? Taking out Tatum and Horford leaves Brown/Porzingis/Holiday/White as 2-5.
They haven’t played much yet, but realistically I think Booker is the best #2
Boston has the best 3/4/5
I’ll give the best 3 to the Suns, provided they can ever really get healthy.
People have forgotten how good Beal is.
I’d argue Cs have best 3, 4, 5, and 6
1 is Denver
2 is up for grabs
When do Sabonis and Fox pass up LeBron and AD - They looked pretty strong last night
Best 2 is the Suns. Booker and KD is the only top 10 duo in the league.
