    Dame and CJ are better. Thomas is overrated.

    They don't play exactly alike. And one of them is an elite athlete. Thomas would be eaten alive if he was in the western conference, and had the supporting cast that dame has had.

    And while neither is a good defender. Thomas makes dame look like Wes Mathews.

    Thomas is dame-light.
    He's worse at literally everything.
    Scoring
    Rebounding
    Passing
    Defending
    He's a midget
    And way less athletic.

    And somehow he's in the MVP conversation.

    How is he not overrated?

    Congrats to Booker. Sucks his team still lost despite his scoring record. Never cared much for him, but congrats all the same

    Epic game, back and forth, a game of runs...a crazy ass shot off one foot for overtime, a battle in extra minutes, college ball doesn't get much better that!

    This sets the record for uselessly not making your team win in a blowout loss. The Suns were down 15 the whole game and never led. Boston let them have a few points in the last minute and lose by only 10.

    I don't want to sound like an old school idiot, but I'm not really down for what the Suns did to get booker those 70. Feels cheap.

    So you think they would have a worse record, if you switched Thomas, with dame?


    Having a way better team, and a way better coach has nothing to do with them having a better record? Cmon dad, basketball is a team sport. You know this.

    They will probably trade him if they can acquire Ball or Fultz in the summer ,nature of the business.

    Would you say he's feast or famine?

    Make an argument for Thomas being better than dame at any of those things.

    You could say "he averages 2 more points per game" but that's a pretty weak argument, if you actually watch basketball.
