The rationalization for us winning will be that somebody else performed on the level of a true #2 for the playoffs. "See, we didn't win with Khris as our 2nd best player, player x eclipsed him." And I will be FINE WITH THAT.

When it comes to Robin, that deal looked favorable on paper because of who his brother was. But he hasn't fit the system because of how poor of a 3-pt shooter he is but has still tried to force it. That, and he's struggled to get clean looks in the post. He isn't running the floor either.
He’s also not a deterrent at the rim whatsoever, despite always looking like he’s trying really hard. Bud knows, it’s why he only played 3 minutes last night.

Yeah, the problem isn't that he doesn't fit the system, it's that he's not good at anything.

"It's real special, man, how they were able to build this building," Parker told ESPN. "I haven't played here but just seeing like the growth of the city, I really like the way that it's developing.
"It's just so sad that I'm not able to share it with them and that they moved on, but that's fine, that's business. But I do have like a little homesickness from being here. I just miss being here."
Parker has a player option for 20-21 with the Hawks. Parker wouldn't rule out a return to the Bucks in the future.
"Never. I would never rule out a possible return here," Parker told ESPN. "I would never do that. It's just so sad how it ended and I wish I could've stayed."

Or option A - Khris is the Bucks clear second best player throughout the playoffs, right on through win #4 in the Finals.

I would love to have a exercise with anybody on the board. we go back for all 4 series of every nba champion and they make a list of the #1s and #2s on those team that have never had a bad series in any given championship year and I make a list the guys that won those championships but had a bad series during the runup. like for example has klay Thompson or kyrie irving or paul pierce or hell crissakes even kobe Bryant ever had a **** series? if they have is that then the new definition of not being a true #1 or #2?
I wonder whose list would be longer if we made some lists like that.
that all being said. khris was on absolute fire for 3 series in a row over two years before the Toronto series. if we get 3 out of 4 from here on out I think that would be just fine with me.

Met him a couple of times when I still lived in MKE, was super friendly and appreciative both times. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him, a spot arguably softer than his defense.

No defending Robin (Team Dragan!), but pretty sure he only played 3 minutes last night because of matchups. If Gobert plays, Robin gets a lot more minutes. Chasing Jeff Green around the perimeter is not ideal for Robin.
