Playoffs has once again demonstrated that without playmakers and shooters at almost every position you're cooked

Playoffs demonstrated that if you don't have at least 3 All-Stars on your team let alone 2 MVPs then you won't win anything for the next 5 years. With all the talent in the West and Warriors still went 12-0? Ridiculous
Easy to go 12-0 when each team you play is missing a key starter:
- Nurkic (starting center who was playing strong basketball late in the season)
- George Hill (starting PG for the Utah Jazz - not the best player but still their main starter all season long)
- Kawhi Leonard (Spurs were up 20 before he went down, MVP candidate)
Once again the injury bug gifts Golden State a title
Cleveland lost a very winnable game 3 and that lost them the series but the 12 games prior showed exactly how easy their road to the Finals were, couple that with the addition of KD and there is pretty much no reason to even field a playoff team
That's why if I am Gores i would trade away everyone and start a rebuild hoping to catch up to when Philly / Boston start to peak in a few years.
But SVG is content on running on his treadmill so to speak
