Mostly agree with you and only resorted to on/off numbers because I thought that was what you were relying on. But I do disagree with your conclusion above. In a single game, no. But in a 7-game series? Always seems to me that the best player/s dominate by a large margin or they don’t. When they don’t, it’s a toss up. The Jazz series wasn’t a toss up. I doubt the Suns series will be either. But I’m not sure which stars I expect to dominate.
