Who's Jimmy replacing on that list

Only person I'd replace on that list is take out Cousins, and put Jimmy in.

Other than that, those are the top 12 or so players in the NBA in no particular order.

I do. I make it a point to try and watch at least five games from each team. It usually ends up being more for mos teams, but there are only so many sixers games iIwanna watch.

I thought this was pretty obvious :lol: a guy could be on a 5 games hot streak, have a subpar game during prime time and NT will label them as "washed" and looking up next years draft to see who he will be replaced by

I'm officially over the Blake v. Draymond thing. They're both great players, so I'm going to let them both be great.

(Plus, didn't we used to have a rule in here prohibiting Player A v. Player B discussions? Just saying....)

But I do want to go on record as saying this narrative that Blake is a soft choker who never delivers in pressure situations is way overblown. Yeah, he's had some notable failure, but he's had some success too.

Since he's been actively playing for the Clippers, they've missed the playoffs only once and have won more than 50 games in every other season. They've won at least playoff services all but once.

2011-2012 - Beat Memphis round 1 in a road game 7. Both Blake and CP are banged up in that series and they go on to get worked by the Spurs in round 2.

2012-2013 - Lose to Memphis in round 1, but Blake is injured before game 5, only plays a few minutes in that game and doesn't play at all in game 6, when Memphis clinches.

2013-2014 - Beat GSW in the first round in seven games. Blake plays really well. Lose to OKC in round 2 in 6. Blake again plays well. It was really a 3 minute meltdown by CP in game 5 that cost the Clippers that series.

2014-2015 - Beat the defending champ Spurs in round 1 in 7. Blake has an awesome series. The Rockets series . . . yeah not much to say there. The whole team choked.

The Clippers wouldn't have won 3 playoff series in 7 games during Blake's tenure if he never delivered in the clutch. Yes, I think he can get better in those situations. But he's not nearly as bad as people on here make him out to be. The way people talk on here, its like the Clippers are the only team that ever fails in the playoffs. Only 1 team wins the title each year. So, there are a bunch of other guys who are supposedly way more clutch than Blake that are also not getting done each year.

I thought this discussion was over after what Draymond did without Curry again. Draymond is a great player, but he's not someone you build around. Simple as that. I don't even think it should be an argument. Even though I don't think he's better than Blake in terms of being a cornerstone for a franchise, I do think if you swapped both players the Clippers would be better and GSW would be worse. Why? Because everything the Clippers lack, Draymond would bring. The intangibles, the defense, more spacing, etc. I don't think he's going to go there and put up 20/10 because I don't think teams will trap CP3 as hard as they trap Curry off the p&r. However, I think his impact will more so be an intangible thing than flat out production.

Its pretty obvious GSW would have to change some things if they had Blake, unless Blake somehow became a 40% 3 point shooter and could defend the 1-5.
 
it should be common knowledge that the softest choker in league is klay

i dont think ive seen him score a 4th quarter point 
 

If Curry is a guard that can shoot better than Klay, would that make him the best shooting guard in the NBA?

Not the best shooting guard, but maybe the best defensive guard in the NBA. However, that is not true because Klay is not the best defensive guard in the NBA.
