    Team:
    Record: top 4 in West (3-1, only loss by 1 point)
    +/-: top 4 in West (+8.8, 5th is Jazz at +2.0)

    Team Leaders:
    Nurkic is leading the team in both rebounding and steals.
    Damian is leading the team in both points and assists.
    ZCo is leading the team in blocks.

    PER:
    5 (nonLeonard) players above 15 for the first time in memory (Lillard, Nurk, Collins, Sauce, Turner)
    CJ has PER of 14.1, and that's because the last game saved his butt, he was 10.something before that.

    Shooting:
    FG%: Team is .475! 3 (nonLeonard) players above .500 (ZCo@.727!, Turner @.581!, Nurk@.518)
    3FG%: Team is .370! (would be much higher without Aminu...). 4 players .400 or above (ZCo@.571, Curry@.500, Sauce@.474, CJ@.400).

    Some of My Takeaways:
    Lillard is MVP caliber. After PG, our best position is Center, not SG, which is somewhat a surprise. ZCo IS a beast and has the best +/- per minute on the team. A couple of players are struggling on defense, and Aminu is struggling on offense, but other than that, we're playing extremely well. CurrySauce was brought into shoot 3s, and they are indeed doing that.

    Note: Leonard is a supersmall sample size and he's not in the rotation.

    I remember we haw a discussion (read argument) a couple of years ago about how long Dame's PERS would continue to rise. I can't remember what we decided upon. I think it was he would remain an MVP candidate for THIS many years. So we had to take advantage of his performance within a certain window. All I know was that I was probably on the wrong side of the argument!

    He's shooting worse and has a worse PER than Evan Turner.

    Next question...

    This is correct.

    We would have also accepted 0-6 (number of made FGs from FGA last night in in the clutch during the 4th quarter) or 0.091 (his 3P% this year, that's right, he is hitting 9% of the 3 points so far this year).

    ZCo's 96 DRtg is crazy.

    His feel/timing on defense is elite.

    He can be a Gobert type of defensive anchor.

    True, by the end of the season he may have his 3FG% up to his usual 29%.

    With Melo gone, if Westbrook can stay healthy, he's a lock to lead the league in missed FGs for the 5th time. What am I saying, he led the league in missed FGs last season even playing next to Melo and led the league in missed FGs in 2014-15 in spite of only playing in 67 games. The dude is pretty much a lock to lead the league in missed FGs every season.

    The real question is, can he be the first player in NBA history to lead the league in both missed FGs and TOVs for the second straight season? If anyone can do it, Russ can!

    We are at a point in the proceedings that you need to make a choice sir...... You need to choose between your hatred for Westbrook or your friendship with The HCP. You can't have both sir.
