Just fielding one of the big 3 is enough to beat most teams. Two of them on the court is enough to beat any team. Three of them on the court? PLUS LMA / Griffin / Green / Harris? Unfair.
Yes and no. They're both really really good, but I don't know if Booker and Mitchell have that killer instinct yet. You're going to run into players like LeBron and Kawhi. The Suns and Jazz feel like that Hawks team with Milsap / Korver / Teague / Horford that went 60-22 a few years back (CLE was 2nd @ 53-29) and that team got swept by LeBron's Cavs in the ECF. I don't think the Suns or Jazz will get swept or anything, but I can't see them winning 4 outta 7 against LeBron/AD or the Clips.
Its really hard to watch the NBA when everyone that was once associated with the Rockets are flourishing everywhere else.
