Dude its TT. Hes a good player. A very inconsistent one. If hes gauging his play on TT then hes not as good as they say he is.
I thought davis looked like shit last night. He can play pretty good d and block shots. That looked like thats about all

Poor man's Marcus Camby. Not worthy of a #1 overall pick.

TT inconsistent? His play the past 2 months says otherwise. Points along with rebounds per game are among the top in the league during that span.

He can play pretty good D and block shots, but he still has 3x the offensive potential Nerlens freaking Noel has and people had him going #1 before the ACL.

He was pwned by TT last night. Think he went 1-8 or something.

Not hating on Dion at all. He's grown on me a lot since the draft and I'm happy we drafted him. But he's not better than Lillard, IMO, and there's nothing wrong with that. At all.

2 different positions. Hard to compare them IMO.

Unless you look at something like PER, which is not allowed on the OC...at least to Sleeper.

Dion's actually shown me a lot, and I love his confidence. I'm quite pleased with his and TT's development so far.

BTW, anyone else find Robin Lopez abusing Zeller for a few possessions kind of amusing? I mean Z.2 was helpless.

I guess, still seems like comparing apples to oranges to me. They're asked to do 2 different things. I'm happy with Dion, and Lillard wasn't an option for the Cavs as we already have a stud PG so what's the point? Want to go back in time and draft Lillard instead to watch him sit on the bench?

^ Magic acquire Tobias Harris, Beno Udrih, and Doron Lamb. I've never heard of the other two guys the Bucks pick up.

I guess I should clarify that thinking Lillard is a better player doesn't mean I think he'd be better for the Cavs. Like you said, we have our PG and needed a wing, and Dion has been one of, if not the best, wing so far this year.

Harden sucks, he will never win a super bowl or hit a home run. Send him to the d-league clearly

Wonder when Chris Broussard will break the news that Josh Smith wasn't traded. Should happen any time now.

Gustavo Ayon is the guy they traded Ryan Anderson for.

I think I've saw Blake Griffin get away with 3 travels in the past 3 minutes.

Grant Hill....cannot believe he's still around. It seems like 30 years ago when he had that ridiculous alley oop against Kansas early in the National Championship game.

Agreed. Never was sold on them. Blake Griffin is vastly overrated.

I still think they get through the 1st round....

These teams are tough to read in the 2nd half unless they are fighting for a spot. Seems like 75% of the league is just going through the motions.

That and I don't think you can really succeed in the playoffs with Chris Paul as your best player. People always talk about him as one of the three most untradeable guys in the league. I just don't see it. Great regular season player, but in the playoffs you need guys who can flat out score to succeed. Teams that have had success in the playoffs always have a guy who you can tell "go out and score me 30 points and do it efficiently". Chris Paul isn't that guy. He can make the role players on his team better, but I don't see him as a guy who can flat out dominate a game. Clippers will probably lose in the second round is my prediction.
