I'm not defending it and I know Davis is the better player. But that is a national story and everybody else in the nation isn't as obsessed with Davis as we are. Lillard won it in a landslide and there is a notion, nationally, that Davis wasn't as good as he was supposed to be. So a writer saying, that he could or will end up being the better player isn't a stupid or crazy thing to say. It makes sense..

Not really. There is a notion that Monty's restrictions on Davis kept him out of the discussion. There may be a few misinformed people who think he underperformed, but the majority of national writers see it for what it is.

I get what you mean. I'm just saying nationally they're all on the damian train because he's given the reigns on that team and forced to do more whereas we didn't ask much of AD and had him progress slowly. No one pays attention to that though, they rather look at the stats (well every stat other than PER)

I see what you're saying but AD was hurt and Monty admittedly held him back last year. Lillard's a fine player but he's 3 years older and played 4 years of college ball. As the 6th pick, he was supposed to win ROY. AD has HOF potential.

Lillard deserved to win it. But I think any national NBA writer worth his title knows that Davis is the better player.
