Exactly. In dominate fashion too. That team doesn't get out of the second round unless Dirk went god mode like he did

People also underrate Nash later in his career when he was leading garbage Suns teams to Top 10 offenses while GP sucked in Milwaukee and ringchased in LA and Miami.
edit: got GP mixed up with Anthony Mason who bitched in Milwaukee

While I endorse Payton over Nash, lets be real here. Phil and Jordan tanked those 2 games so they could win in Chicago. It was a pj staple for a while.

All this talk about great PGs is great, but irrelevant to what it about to happen tomorrow.
When Mike Conley Jr will take over the NBA.

CP3 will eat him alive.

Why does that make it irrelevant?
Was it Nash's fault he got his nose cut open by Parker? That Diaw and Amare couldn't sit down for a second? That someone didn't box out Ron Artest? Come on, you need breaks to win championships. Unless your name is Jordan
he hasn't done so yet, and regularly don't guard each other anyway.

His previously overwhelming fear of CP3 is gone, the albatross has fallen from his neck, he will now take over.

Was he basically doing the "ain't no one beating that team man" during the press conference?
Could have signed with the Knicks instead of Kidd.

In this metaphor Matt Boner shit in someone's lunch bag and then stole it?

Well he stole it, ate the lunch, then dropped a deuce in the bag and gave it back to Dwight.

Zeke is criminally underrated but I wouldnt call them untouchable
System argument doesn't make a lot of sense because Stockton is also the all time steals leader as well
so he got a new bag just so he can shit in it
MorisUkunRasik

One more question, was the Matt "Boner" thing intentional or a misspelling?
The Frankman
Banned
What? No. Dwight is carrying his lunch in his bag. Bonner steals the lunch, eats it, then craps in it and gives it back to Dwight.
Hey they don't call him The Red Rocket for nothing.

... I thought their new alternates weren't so bad. At least for a once a week thing.
They're almost as bad as the Mavs' trash can unis.

haven't been able to watch playoff games except from some clipps action. who looked good/bad so far?
There's a reason why he's one of the first players to have his own sneakers. Frazier had one of the best jump shots and midrange games in the history of the game. He changed the way defense is played and regarded as one of the best defensive players to ever play. Frazier would school Tim Hardaway and the other guys I listed.

I was messing with you, a bit.. But I really think he would have his hands full with GP and Kidd

Kidd can't shoot so maybe not.
But come on. Clyde played in the 70s. Payton and Kidd played in the 90s. He wouldn't school them at all.
With them? Yes. With Nash, CP3, or Stockton? No. IMO CP3 is one of the most overrated players I have ever seen. People love to say he's only second to Magic which is crazy imo. He's currently the best at running an offense, but he isn't the best I've ever seen. Nash and Kidd are 2 guys that were in their primes right before he came and both guys do a better job of running an offense.
