    Incredibly consistent 40% from 3 before all star game and now 40% from 3 after all star game. For the year in 52 games has made 50 out of 125 3s.

    even the eagle has off games. luckily, he played a key role in a win against a team containing the fire-breathing dragon mvp, so his rep is intact.

    Caruso turns the ball over too much at the point. He is a good scrappy player though. I wish Kuz could emulate his hustle

    i actually love jokic. i just think it's funny how quickly his stock rose because...his team is in 4th place? he doesn't play for the lakers? i don't know. he's a good player who might win an mvp in a year without a really great candidate.

    and he can't beat the eagle.

    I really like the joker . He reminds me of Bird. He really makes players around him better. MVP for sure this year.

    Jokic will win it cause others candidates missed a lot of games ... If CP3 was scoring 20+ a game , he would have won it

    my main purpose of naming jokic, btw, was just to poke fun at the idea that a single great player means the team will win.

    Great game by AC shooting 8-16. I liked how he looked to shoot instead of just passing. More of this please, especially with no other point guards.

    Keep starting him the rest of the way. AC is probably our best guard right now

    Bald Eagle has a sore talon. When did this happen and what is wrong with our teams feet this year?

    we're seeing the good (like always) and the bad from eagle as he's thrust into the starting role. he's really not a pg--he's an all-purpose off-the-bench guard who can be part of finishing lineups with a point forward type like lebron.

    part of me hopes that some of his struggles to be the primary pg will scare away some suitors this summer. though what i just typed above makes me worried that dallas might offer him over the MLE to play next to luka in a similar role.

    Looking at these highlights, it shows how much work AC has put in the last 3 years. He couldn't do these things when he first arrived but this shows his hard work and determination. Dude is also shooting 43 % from Catch and Shoot 3s. Goes to show how well you can improve your game if you dedicate your time to the gym instead of dying your hair or foolin around on social media.

    vs Lillard 18 points, 6 rebs, 2 assists in 34 mins
    vs CP3 17 points, 3 rebs, 8 assists in 31 mins

    He looks very comfortable with the ball in his hands and looking for his own shot. He's still giving phenomenal defense and smart timely plays. He needs to start the rest of the way IDGAF about Schroder

    This was awesome
