    Harden shot 16 threes in another loss. Doncic scored 11 points in last three minutes.

    actually, Booker is averaging nearly 7 assists a game (more than Lillard) and has a 34.1% assist rate compared to CJ's 11.4%. He also has a much higher turnover rate, 16.0% vs 8.3%. But at least he's shown himself to be a willing passer, even if he hasn't mastered passing efficiency

    CJ is a little better as a pure shooter, but their TS% is nearly identical because Booker gets to the FT line while CJ doesn't.

    at this stage, they are both chuckers, but Booker is five years younger and showing signs of being a playmaker for teammates. On the other hand, he'll be starting a 5 year contract next season paying him nearly 32M a year. He'll have to continue to improve or that deal could end up an albatross

    **********************************************

    Denver has some serious injury issues, but they had them last year too. They may be more fragile than Portland

    ************************************************

    am I the only tickled by Houston struggling? They have really collapsed so far this year. I still remember their fans when the Blazers beat them in the playoffs 5 years ago. Damn they were arrogant. This season is some choice rough justice

    No. I’m LOVING Houston in 14th place. Hopefully we can beat them on Tuesday. How the mighty have fallen. I need to spend some time at clutchfans. That said, the way the West is, they could still rise to 1 seed again with a win streak.

    As I said before the draft, Luka is the ROY and it’s not even close.

    Well JJJ is very very good too. I don’t know about “not even close.”

    Reckon you should watch the games, not stats. Even though, he's better than them in most categories.

    Its probably very possible, the Bucks seem to have some beef going on with him and Bud recently. Sat him an entire fourth quarter and Middleton sat out the next game with no explained reason...

    Only problem is he’s a free agent at the end of this year and unless we got to the WCF he’d likely leave for free at the end of the year leaving us much worse than we were before.

    Still only 6 games out of first. The West is pretty tight. A couple wins puts them back in the playoffs.

    Of all the guards on the team who is the best defensively or has the potential to be the best?
    Id have to say Turner.
    just like OKC that started poorly.

    Yeh, Middleton would love it here; you never get sat down here for not playing defense!

    We got the defense Collins and they got the offensive Collins. On our team we got the right Collins that plays defense.
