Well, your team didn't have a shot at Lillard, but yeah I can understand your frustration about not getting Drummond at 8.

Kenton Wong has an interesting piece on Lillard:

Seriously, you need to read the numbers in this piece. It doesn't include last night's 9-17 shooting and 4-7 from 3-point range and the 11 assists to his assist average, but it also includes his struggles in Detroit, Washington, and Boston.

Draymond Green has not found himself on the negative side of the +/- category for 9 consecutive games while GSW has gone 7-2. Bbiq, hustle, defense, rebounding...all the things that you want out of a guy that's 8th in the rotation.

"With center Andrew Bogut out for the Warriors, the team went "small" by inserting Green. That, according to Mercurynews.com, is not the same as going soft."

"I could rave about his basketball plays — like reading an alley-oop before it was thrown or repeatedly moving across the key to box guys out — but what really struck me Thursday night was his leadership."

If Lilard keeps up the play I'd say he can win ROY easy.

Yeah especially with Davis having trouble getting going with his injuries.

Yeah, the longer Davis keeps sitting, the better Lillard's chances are going to look.

all things being equal though, I'd much rather have Davis playing. I'd rather have a debate between Lillard and Davis (even if it would likely mean that Davis would win ROY), than I would see Lillard win it by default.
