With 15 assists and 0 turnovers to go up 2-0, it is clear that CP3's aged like fine wine, and this could be his best chance at getting a ring

The Suns were dominant in Game 1, and they did it again in Game 2. Phoenix blew out Denver by 25 points to take a 2-0 series lead, fueled by Chris Paul. CP3 had 15 assists without registering a single turnover on Wednesday night. He’s the first player in NBA history to record so many assists without turning it over once more than two times in the playoffs.
It is amazing that he can still string together these performances when it matters the most in his 16th season. His team is looking as good as anyone right now, and they can make a real run this postseason if he continues on this tear after taking down the reigning champs and without any proven title contenders in the way of his first career NBA Finals appearance.

COLORS KEY | FULL SUNS OUTLOOK
This year’s postseason is as open as it has ever been before now that Phoenix sent the LA Lakers packing. There are no more proven title contenders left in the West, so it’s all up for grabs. In the past, Paul has been on some good teams, but has had injury problems or had the juggernaut Golden State team in his way.
In his only conference finals series, CP3 had Houston up 3-2, but missed the final two games with a hamstring issue and they ultimately lost 4-3 to the eventual champions, the Golden State Warriors. Now, the Suns have a clear path to the Finals and it is riding on his shoulder and the team staying healthy to finally get that first Finals appearance in his illustrious career and get a chance to walk away with a legacy-defining Championship.
