Westbrook, Curry, Paul all over Lillard. Come on now lol be realistic. I hate westbrook and paul a ton, but at this point in time, they are better than Lillard.

BUT, Lillard could be better than both of them later on in Lillards' career.
 
It's so hard to rank the guards because many of them are so different in their play styles.

Wall is one of the best play making guards because of his speed, ability to penetrate the lane and finish around the rim.

Walker is like a hybrid John Wall/Damian Lillard - More on the wall side as in he's not as good of a scorer as Dame, nor is he as good a play maker as Wall.

Dame is like a hybrid Curry/Westbrook in that he's not as athletically explosive as Westbrook, but more so than Curry, however he is not as good a shooter as Curry, but better than Westbrook.

Conley and CP3 are probably the two best defensive point guards in the NBA.

If I were to rank the top guards it would have to go like this

1. Curry
2. Westbrook
3. Lillard
3. CP3
3. Irving
3. Wall
7. Conley
7. Thomas
7. Lowry
7. Walker
 
After rewatching the Curry injury and listening to interviews of his teammates, I could see this being bad. He gets an MRI tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if he tore an mcl or acl or something.

ACL he'd be done; MCL he might come back in a few weeks or month.

Yeah I was thinking meniscus tear. He could probably return in a couple weeks if he gets the damaged part removed. Nowadays most players instead get it repaired which is better long term; but he'd be out for the playoffs.

I don't like how cocky the Warriors have become and admit that I root for them to lose pretty much every time they play. But, I really hope Curry's knee just got sprained or hyper extended. I would never wish injury on anyone.

It looked like he banged his knee on the court more than anything.

And he ran off on his own power.

Did I miss something? Usually when you tear it it doesn't allow you to trot off the court, even with adrenaline.

Yes
 
Paul George is high on my list of favorite non-Blazers. His shot selection is shit at times and he kinda acts and plays like a beta. But he's absolutely destroying Derozan on the defensive side.

I'd give up all our team outside of Dame to land PG.

Sidebar: HELL NO to throwing the max at Derozan. He's getting exposed in the playoffs, and his lack of shooting makes him a massive liability.

Losing Curry for this playoff run would be devastating for every basketball fan.
 
We need Curry still around hes our only hope for stopping LMA from getting a title
 
Curry with a level 1 mcl sprain. He's going to be reevaluated in 2 weeks. This could change the playoffs, but I am glad it wasn't a tear.

Maybe we can steal game 1 against them with Curry on the sidelines.

Isn't an MCL sprain a very mild tear?

I admit to being a bit ignorant about some of the medical stuff. Not sure. Just meant that I am glad it wasn't more serious. Something that could effect his career and such.

I just remember Mariota having an MCL sprain a few years ago, and it severely limited his mobility. Curry is another guy that relies pretty heavily on his mobility. It could really limit his effectiveness.
