    Look bro.... I had a talk with Denny and he was thinking maybe I'd take turns starting threads with you this season. I think it's only fair that I have a chance to share my creativity and design skills!

    That is like saying how dare we start Project Pat over Montero.

    Like it matters one way or another. Personally I do think Wes overall is slightly better than Luc and Pierce has a foot in the grave at this point. He shouldn't even be part of the discussion. But they are all horrible compared to most people's starting SF's.

    Are you really trying to get your win prediction correct to the point you're willing to jinx the team? I'm going to start calling you HC-Speed.

    I love Dame as much as the next guy, but even he knows that Chris Paul is his daddy. All y'all voting for Lillard in this poll are crazy.

    Wow, wtf. Come on guys, don't be so blind. CP eats Dame for lunch in 4 out of every 5 games.

    And vice-versa though.

    I think Dame can be better as soon as later this year. He isn't better at the moment however.

    Leadership for one. And how about taking our team just as far in the playoffs as Chris has?

    I'm nervous about the game. Why? We tend to lose when I REALLY want it, and I'd LOVE it if we won by 20 - it'd be another crack in their armor. Would love to see them come apart.

    I voted Dame so I could troll....

    Because that makes sense.

    CP3 is overrated. Been in league we'll over 10 years and won what, 3 playoff series? 4 maybe? Dame has won 2 in 4 years.

    Wrong again egg-laying mammal.
    Chris Paul may 'out play' Lillard most of the time, but those are times that don't matter. Chris Paul is an epic big-moment choker, Lillard not so much.

    Dame only gets aren't up by cp3 because of dames terrible pick and role defense which is what Chris Paul lives off of. Picks and mid range jumpers or lobs to Blake or DJ.
