For me it’s Damian Lillard.

I know he usually starts slow and he very well could just be getting in a rhythm and getting healthy again but I thought he would come out with more of a chip on his shoulder.

I’m not worried about Milwaukee as I’m a firm believer that they’ll get their shit sorted out before the playoffs come.

The Thunder is my surprise team pick. Such a young and terrifying team led by a cold blooded SGA. Very impressed by their unity and identity.

As long as they keep their core, they will be a threat to the league for many seasons to come.

It’s not out of the realm for him to average these numbers over the course of a season.

Once he figures out how to be consistent, he’ll be one top 15 player away from competing in the East for a trip to the Finals.

Why do you guys do this.

They’re clearly around the same level and depending on your criteria and values, there would be no wrong answers.

Both superstars with 5 rings and individual success in their respective position with great supporting casts in different ways.

Not surprised at the stats. Definitely think he can have more.

I am however very surprised by his efficiency increase.

KP looking like the well deserving 2nd option out there.

He looked like the best player on the floor tonight and it wasn’t close.

He’s gotten more patient to get to his spots and he made his shots.

The Warriors offense looks better with him out there then Curry tonight.

I’m sure that’ll change when they readjust and Curry’s shots starts falling.

So far I’m loving the trade as I trust the ball in CP’s hands to play quality plays instead of the enigmatic Jordan Poole.

Overrate in terms of impact? Yes.

In terms of pure skill and talent or degree of difficulty? No.

Jamal is bigger, less inconsistent on the defensive side, a better off ball player next to Jokic because of his years playing with him, a tough shot maker, a playoff riser, and a solid playmaker.

Trae is nice don’t get me wrong. He may be the better floor general and 1st option between the 2 but for this question alone, you gotta go with Murray.

Barring injuries this motherfucker is the real deal.

It’s really only on this sub that the majority do not enjoy the game.

When I talk basketball outside, they may not know the smaller details down to the statistics but it’s more fun and casual.

You can say stupid shit and agree to disagree and still have a good time.

Over here, you’re either right or you’re wrong, and either way you’re losing because this is a toxic environment that we all love to be a part of because we’re all so fucked up oh my god I need help.

I don’t know why you guys are surprised when he’s shown he can ball at full strength.

Now he’s no longer the #1 or even #2 like his stint in NY and Dallas, he’s going to feast on mismatches to a career high in efficiency while opening up the court for the wings.

His defense is solid too. Great pick up from the Celtics.
