    He saw the cut, knew where the ball was going, went and got it. Nothing magic about it. Just paying attention and making a play.

    This heat check is just nuts.



    Curry is hunting that MVP this year.

    Bucks are amazing this year. Best team to watch for me. I think 3 teams could win the East this year: Raptors, Bucks, Celtics.

    Can't believe the Lakers let Lopez go for so little.

    I think if we asked everyone to put their hand up if they've seen a player with his back turned to the play dive and intercept a bounce pass we wouldn't see a lot of hands is all.

    He's perfect for Bucks setup. He's getting about 2 rebounds a game but it doesn't matter as Giannis is getting a hundred every game.

    I love their team. So much talent and it all fits so perfectly together.

    Guy is ridiculous...if the Blazers could field a team like the Warriors, all of us on the forum would be the cockiest, loudest, most annoying fans just like the Warriors fans are now...I dream of that day. Lillard has had some awesome moments, but Steph is making me think he is an alien like Lebron.

    Dame is averaging 29-7-5, but shooting like shit from 3. Still, he has a PER of nearly 27. Which is superstar/MVP caliber.

    Yet he isn't even close to Steph in terms of impact. This is like Clyde-MJ all over again. I just hope Dame's legacy isn't overshadowed too much and ends up getting a title here when it's all said and done.

    I disagree. Put Dame on that team and he has the same impact in my opinion.

    Curry's shooting splits through five games are: 55/52/91 and he's shooting 13 threes a game. No one in the history of the game can replicate that, much less Dame.

    I love Dame, but I can't say he would shoot like Curry does. Curry is special, no one is like Steph.

    I believe Dame would if he got the same looks.

    Dame hasn't ever shot 40% from 3. Curry is miles ahead of Dame as a shooter, regardless of looks. He's miles ahead of nearly everyone.

    Dame has never had the consistently open looks that Steph gets.
