2022 NBA Playoffs

Every time I see Ja blow up.  I can not help but think of Zion.  Those two are linked due to draft order, from 2019.  Hopefully, Zion can get healthy, and it is still early in both player's career, but it seems like Ja is developing into a Super Star.

In fairness, Ja’s ability to stay healthy and on the court should be called into question as much as Zion’s.

Put me in the Suns and Bucks camp with Suns winning it all. Devin Booker is the Finals MVP.   

Game 7 next up for Phoenix.  Luka will be ready.

Phoenix should make Luka score every point for Dallas. Don't help on Luka. Rotate defenders on him. Guard the heck out of everyone else, rebound/no second shots.

Chance for Booker to shine too.

Phoenix is known for their defense.  But, after the first two games it appears Dallas has adjusted and their defense stands out to me.  Paul has struggled recently, which is key to beating Phoenix.

Chris Paul is a fraud.

When you get beat like that, everyone in the organization needs to look in the mirror and figure out what they did wrong - everyone.

Game 1 Miami vs Boston was a war. That is how basketball is played at the highest level.

Who is the only player to win the NBA scoring title and assists title in the same season?

Big O?

 Good guess and a bit of a tricky no on this one. Big O did lead the league in points and assists one year but he did not win the assists title due to per game average.

Interesting. Trae Young did the Big O variety this season as well, despite Embiid and CP3 winning the scoring title and assist titles, respectively.

My only other guess would be Jerry West.
