No, I don't agree with that at all.
You also shouldn't ignore SGA faced better two better offenses and wasn't the biggest defensive liablity in the playoffs (Granted if you take the "absolute value" instead of "value over replacement" approach you can maybe argue jokic's defense is better).
OK, but Jokic wasn't a liability on defense. He was targeted at times, but liability is too strong of a word. I do like SGA defense though, he's getting better on that end with time.
We can also say Murray had a terrible all-time series or whatever but no one on OKC was drawing away defensive attention to the degree Jamal did.
True, but OKC offense was built different - they had more creators in their roster and were not nearly as dependable on two guys doing everything on offense except for finishing. OKC supporting cast also disappointed, but not to the degree of Murray.
