    Aldridge is 5th in the league in scoring. Lillard is 7th. They don't feel like flukes. I feel like they can do it all year long. How exciting!

    3 games does not a season make. Temper those expectations. THIS is why you get so mad, you put unrealistic expectations and want those met every possession.

    If you simmer it down a bit, it's a lot more enjoyable. Just sayin'.

    Hey Strenuus you're a little green to be playing the hard bitten, realist around here. Leave that to me.

    This is Kingspeed man. You'll come to recognize his style. It's all highs and lows.

    You can do nothing! The Kingspeed cannot be tamed by a mere mortal.

    They're top 5 at least. Behind LeBron-Wade, KD-Westbrook, Harden-D12, and on par with CP3-Griffin.

    I remember years ago, Cliff Robinson was among the leading scorers in the NBA after like 4 games. And then he returned to earth.

    I remember that. USA Today did an article about who would win the scoring race and Cliff was among the possible contenders.
