I dont know. I think most of the best healthy players in the playoffs are still alive and well. (lebron, kyrie, durant, westbrook, curry, green, thompson, leonard, lillard, wade, derozan) Lots of all stars still playing right now.

Derozan has been terrible all post-season, and he and Lowry both got badly outplayed by Paul George in the first round. The Raptors prevailed because of their supporting cast.

Funny you should mention that

Houston (harden) and indy (george) are the only teams with a healthy star that got taken out. Indy had the bigger star and lost to the more complete team.

So one "team" effort took out the bigger star.

We agree.
And I damn near didn't include derozan in my list of stars (cause I don't think he is on the level of the other stars in my list) but he was an all star so I put him in there.
 
Joe Johnson had some great one on one buckets at the end of the half

Let me try to simplify it for you.

Most of the teams left in the playoffs have star players carrying them.

Most of the teams that didn't have a star or teams whose stars got hurt are now out of the playoffs.

So it looks to me like stars are still very important, relevant and necessary to success in the playoffs.

100% disagree.

Most of the teams rely on great teamwork (Spurs, Warriors, Heat, and even the Cavs). Yes those players have "stars" but the stronger aspects of their team are the whole, not the individual pieces.

If anyone on a team gets hurt, star or not, that team is going to struggle. Avery Bradley and Nicols Batum are no stars, but their loss greatly impacted their teams.

Fair enough.
Good post
 
Great series. Probably the most evenly matched of the postseason thus far.

Dumb it down a little more for him, just in case...
 
I like dragic.
 
I think Whiteside just mentally checked out after JV started manhandling him.
