Simmons working his ass off

Curry carrying the team again like he does, 33/5/7 through 3 with deadly efficiency, no big deal

I have full confidence that Curry can carry a team to a slightly above .500 record and somewhere between a 6 and 8 seed (when he is not playing with multiple all stars around him).

Only counts if it's a championship? Take him off the team and they are the Twolves record wise.

Simmons working his ass off

hes really locked in.

on defense he is great too.

They are going to be so glad they didnt deal him for Harden. Especially a year or two down the line.

if he ever develops a consitent jumper they all of a sudden have 2 of the top 10 players in the league- shit right now simmons is prob. top 20 with how he has been playing.

Big win for Portland

This will never happen

Really fun game to watch

Portland's "Oregon" jerseys are pretty snazzy. I approve

Currys great.

hes just not in the tier 1 of guys. Id say tier 1 is LeBron, Embiid, Jokic, Leonard, Durant,

Harden was tier 1, but at this point i think he is prob tier 2.

not sure if id put Davis in 1 or 2. Probably 2.

id put him in tier 2 with Kyrie, Dame, Luka, Tatum, George, Simmons, Mitchell, Gobert, Beal.

Curry or Dame is a damn interesting question.

Same post you make every 3 months, no more true now. But it's just talk, makes no difference what you think you see out there.

Where is @lebron23james with his hot takes?

And?

Name 1 player besides LeBron James from the past 20 years capable of carrying a mediocre roster further than that?

You knock the Warriors depth, knock Draymond and Wiggins, and you knock Curry too? It doesn’t add up.

Nobody is saying he was ever the best player in the NBA, but he is legit top 5 and when he is running like this, you can make a case for top 3 behind LeBron and KD.

He is a superstar. Deserving of every accolade he has earned.

Your 2nd tier is all over the place.

Curry, Dame, AD, Harden and Luka are well above the rest of those guys you mentioned and right there with Embiid, Kawhi and Jokic.

Beal, Kyrie, Simmons, George, Gobert and Mitchell are not on that level in terms of individual impact.

Stat of the day:

Blake Griffin is shooting 36.5% from the field, while earning $36.5 million this season.

(Griffin is scheduled to make $39 million next season)

I'm struggling to think of a worse combination of output relative to contract size in the NBA.

Well if you want to get technical, Klay Thompson signed a max deal two years ago and hadn’t scored a since point since.

I blame Klay's attitude.

Still arguably been better than Blake Griffin.

I hope Blake is playing tonight vs. Boston... the C's need to string together some wins.
