Couple things to note.
Every year CP3 is in the league, his teams seem to over perform in the regular season and choke in the playoffs (you could argue the same is true of Dame lead teams).
All things considered, it's weird to see such high praise for the Suns, yet Portland (while missing 40% of it's starting 5 and incorporating a new 40% of their starting 5 in addition to losing 40% of their starting unit) is a whole whopping 4 games behind them.
Take the 2nd and 3rd best players off the Suns for the last 2 months and let's see just how good they'd be. I really doubt they'd only be 21-15 right now.
