2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[Lovetohate3000]

Kawhi is also in tier one, but I may be biased. Westbrook by no stretch of the imagination belongs

KD Curry LeBron Kawhi in they own tier..

then come the Hardens and Russes....

 

[hardens beard]

No way Giannis is the same tier as those other guys. In the future maybe but not now

 

[MVP]

I disagree bro,

KD
LBJ
Steph


Kawhi/Harden/CP/Russ/Giannis

This is fair. I guess.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Kawhi is also in tier one, but I may be biased. Westbrook by no stretch of the imagination belongs

I say Kawhi is 1.5

Last year was his first year playing at THAT (MVP) level.

He does it again next year, Tier 1 for sure

 

[hardens beard]

Harden CP3 Kawhi and Westbrook basically guarantees you 50 wins a season

 

[SneakerProSr.]

SneakerProSr.

So there you have it. 3 different players have done it.

Only one player listed actually did it though.

Damn we gotta round up to get Gooden at 13

Jet scored 21 in Game 5 and 27 in Game 6

No Cav not named LeBron scored more than 17 in 2007.

Because?

 

[P C H]

 
Griffin fell that far off?

Blake?

In my opinion, no. I'd have him after Giannis on my list. Still a top 10-15 player. But those guys are just better than him.

Most forgotten really good player in the league.

22/8/5 on 50/35/76 on a 51 win team is big boy stuff.

He hasn't gotten his name out there yet.... but he's definitely up there!

He's a beast all around.

 

[100027]

 
Griffin fell that far off?

He only really had one season in that tier in the first place, but I would say yes he did.  

 

[Quincy McCall]

I don't think so either, I expected to see Griffin in his spot or Russ's... Especially from a Clips fan

I'm not a biased Clips fan, at least I don't try to be

Those guys were better than Blake this past year. I have him at 10. I think that's fair. I don't think Blake being 10 is "Falling off" either. That's pretty damn good

 

[Based Jesus]

I agree. Kawhi's knocking on the door while those other guys still tryna find the address.

 

[shotsrangout]

giannis isnt top tier until he develops a 3 point shot

 

[hardens beard]

Because?

Harden CP3 Kawhi and Westbrook basically guarantees you 50 wins a season

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Whats funny is IF lebron wins game 3 he'll be happy to do a post game interview

Ol sore loser *** boy

Even when they win he's out there embracing the opponent giving high fives and hugs, when they lose he walks with his tail between his legs back to the locker room

 

[MVP]

Actuallly I'd do it like this:

Bron
KD
Steph

Kawhi
Russ
Harden

Then the rest.

 

[Quincy McCall]

 
Blake?

Damn, I still have Griffin/AD/Butler/PG ahead of Giannas and him just ahead of Dame/Cousins/Hayward

 

[addict4sneakers]

Because?

Harden CP3 Kawhi and Westbrook basically guarantees you 50 wins a season

I agree with that philosophy but Giannis had 2 key pieces miss significant time. Russ did it this year but the Thunder didn't crack 50 wins the 14-15 season

They'll hover around 50 wins this next season. Giannis is legit

 

[P C H]

 
Damn, I still have Griffin/AD/Butler/PG ahead of Giannas and him just ahead of Dame/Cousins/Hayward

I'll concede that my ranking on Giannis is a tad bit premature but i'mm really high on him and he was very good last season.

I wouldn't disagree if you had BG and AD ahead of Giannis. Butler and PG though? I would.

 

[hardens beard]

Harden can make a case for top tier. Twice hes lead teams to the 3rd best record in the league with no allstars or all NBA teammates.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I agree with Freak not being in Tier 2 yet, only due to years of service.

Someone has to perform at a level for more than just 1 year before you elevate them to the next tier.

Giannis is on his way though

 

[addict4sneakers]

 

Blake?

In my opinion, no. I'd have him after Giannis on my list. Still a top 10-15 player. But those guys are just better than him.

Giannis destroyed PG 13 and Butler in h2h matchups. Like it wasn't close

Yea' I'm alone in my Butler praise, I think he's the second best player in the East. Giannas/PG could go either or for me but I trust him more to create down the stretch

 

[D StaXX]

I disagree bro,

KD
LBJ
Steph


Kawhi/Harden/CP/Russ/Giannis

Good list.
