I'm seeing 6 to 1 or 13 to 2.
Miami seems like the best value of the teams left at 4 to 1.

Hopefully Markieff or Wiggins get a ring.
Klay Thompson has been annoying me lately so I may end up pulling for the Heat since they have a Jayhawk and I like Jimmy Butler.

Who is the best player left in the playoffs? Luka Steph or Tatum?

Above is Pat Bev saying how nobody is scared of Phoenix. And "boys scared of Luka".

I give the edge just barely to Luka.
Tatum is a better player on both ends but Luka's offensive game is better than Tatum's.
Steph's peak is the highest of all three because of how dangerous he can be if locked in.

Steph just sucks so badly at defense. The other 2 play both ends. Steph hides in the corner hoping he doesn't get switched onto a ball handler.

Eh.
I think all 3 are decent defenders, with Tatum being the best.
But Tatum is put on better opponents more often than the other two.
I want to say all 3 are in the top 20 in defensive rating.

Embiid, Joker, Giannis or LeBron.
I would lean Embiid.

Great player.
Watching him flame out against the Celtics dinged him for me.
Some of it not his fault being on that shitshow of a squad.

He's in that convo many/most times, but not at the current moment. I think it's really just Giannis Embiid and Jokic for purposes of gutters question.

Matt Barnes with the burn on Pat Bev for being disrespectful. "You're not that guy".

Steph is a great interview.
Reminds me of when a reporter called LeBron "clutch" and he had a funny response.
