I really want to see a Raptors vs Celtics series cuz it would be a dope series. Celtics and Toronto are both tough physical teams. Too bad it won't happen since Celtics can't get over Atlanta. Smh.

Confirmed. OKC is resting Durant, ibaka and Westbrook.

Spurs are only resting diaw and manu, as I predicted earlier.

Spurs gonna finish the season, tying history at 40-1 :ehh:

I wonder if/when/can the league address this resting sh*t.......Pop has made it a normal process for damn near every team and it just sucks....

LeBron has been better than Curry for the last 1/4 of the season (self.nba)

In their last 10:

Curry

36.5 mpg, 28-6-8 (pts/reb/ast) 4.2 TOV on 47/44.5/93 for 62.6 TS%

LeBron

35.6 mpg, 28.4-8-8.5 (pts/reb/ast) 3.7 TOV on 62/52/80 for 69 TS%

Since March:

Curry

(22 games) 35 mpg, 28-6-7 (pts/reb/ast) 3.2 TOV on 47/41/90 for 62 TS%

LeBron

(19 games) 35 mpg, 26.5-8.3-7.3 (pts/reb/ast) 3.6 TOV on 57/39/79 for 64 TS%

LeBron's ORtg over that span? 126 to Curry's 117. He has been a more efficient scorer, a hair better distributor, a better defender obviously, and is doing it all in the same minutes played.

Curry has obviously still had the better overall season and will win MVP, but the last quarter leading into the playoffs is a significant enough sample for me to say that Curry simply isn't the better player at this moment in time, with LeBron finding his J and returning to his Miami-level efficiency and springiness.
