    I remember that..it was embarrassing but it was the first quarter. Teams explode in the first quarter/halves all the time. 4th quarters are usually harder to score. Mavs choked the **** out of that. No 2 ways about it.

    CP3 splits the double team dribbling the ball not falling down looking to the ref to call a foul. This is what Harden should do.

    CP3 not having to ISO every play and running actual plays is probably the reason he is still healthy right now. I don't think MDA protected CP3 by giving him the same Harden workload.

    Just because he gets paid so much doesn't mean you have to run him into the ground.

    Imagine trading away Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and 50 picks.

    PG13 is one of the most overrated stars.

    Now, don't get me wrong, FANTASTIC player, but people putting him in the top 10 and stuff and I even felt him being in the MVP race was a bit much.

    Yeah, he's an amazing player, but I never once had a thought that he is better than Lebron, Giannis, Harden, Curry, Durant, true elite players like that...nah. I feel like he and Russ in the same 2nd kind of tier of superstars.

    Disagree, yea he had a bad game, but he is absolutely a top 10 player. He's better than guys like Lillard, Jokic, Embid and I would even say he's better than Butler because he's a better shooter. Before his shoulder injury he was in the MVP race with Harden and Giannis. And he last year he led the league in RPM.

    Should be easy for the Nuggets since we know AD as a lone superstar can't accomplish jack. [​IMG]

    Denver's defense is pretty impressive a lot of athletic dudes that can fly around and they have length. Yeah LBJ isn't playing tonight but that 101 ppg is #1 in the league was surprised by that

    I just luv it when people are down on superstars coming back from injuries...... and acclimated.

    I also do not think it is likely he wins the ship in his first season but mang.......

    PG shooting close to 40% from 3 alone in his last 2 seasons is what makes him at least a tad better than WB at this point in his career.

    Overrated? I wasn't calling him superstar when he was in Indy. He just took OKC from WB's hands...that why.

    Harden is on an island of his own, Lebron the best 6'9 guy.......Giannis a freak.
    Curry and Durant can be had though. Curry being the best shooter and being on a dynasty team helped him.

    Durant made questionable choices but he got them rings.

    PG isn't fully unleashed yet, but yeah he is 1 1/2 tier.
