If you truly believe that, I would suggest examining your player evaluation process. Before his shoulder injury this year, he was a very legit MVP candidate that had his team in the Top 3/4 in the West. The guys often carried a Pacer team into the playoffs, and was often Lebron's most challenging test before reaching the Finals. Paul George when healthy is one of the best 2 way players in the NBA, and makes a legitimate difference on both sides of the court. He is a far more effective player than NYK Melo.

Being in the top 3/4 in the West isn’t that big of a deal though. Denver is the #2 seed and even they aren’t that good. This is one of the weakest conferences in the West I’ve seen in a while.
Those Pacers teams also benefitted greatly from a weak conference. Does anybody think those Pacer teams make it out of the West in those years?

A better Carmelo is pretty good
I just think we would be frustrated with him a lot. Kind of reminds me of the situation with Artest. Loved his defense and cringed at his offense. But Artest won a ring so his offensive inconsistency was okay with us in the end.

I think PG showed out this year.
But he hasn't been the same in the playoffs due to the injuries.
That being said, I have no issues with people hating on PG. That punk!

PG13 is a very good player. If we had him this year, we'd be talking about a deep playoff run. We wouldn't have sunk in the 18 games LBJ was out with injury. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
They are a lot more than just Giannis, they look to be a rare NBA team actually committed to trying to play defense.
Their roster is deep and they are really well coached.
Fear the Deer
I really think they have a shot at winning it all, and I hope they do. I think some people are taking them lightly because, well, they're the Bucks. But they look legit to me.
Bucks were my choice for team that I'm rooting for to win it all. Giannis is a monster but maybe against a team like the Warriors, his lack of experience might be the difference? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

I personally do not think they can beat the Warriors, but if they do, Giannis will definitely be crowned almost unanimously the best player in the NBA.
