What they’re saying

“Leonard has been a terror this season, and he just finished hanging up 45 points on 75% shooting against the Timberwolves, who were the ninth rated defense before they got scorched by the Clippers last night 153-128.”

“Avdija just made his first All-Star appearance. He earned it with 24.3 PPG, 6.9 RPG, and 6.7 APG, and is propelling the Blazers to a 31-35 record.”

“With Harden's presence on the roster, Mitchell's assists have fallen off a bit. While he's still handling a heavy scoring load, averaging 28.3 PPG, he's conceding the playmaking duties to newly acquired James Harden.”
