man I want to agree with you and I do not want to belabor the point...I was just sharing an opinion for discussion. however I am confident we could go back and find dozens of games where a superstar won a game singlehandedly with worse production from his teammates, against better teams

link to that read please?

like ATL pointed out, there's a huge ceiling difference between guys who can create shots/offense and guys who can't. melo, lebron, durant, etc can dictate and create good offense with the ball in their hands. Davis hasn't been there yet- think Amare. wonderful, force of nature offensive player, but Nash was pulling the strings on that team. they could lose Amare (and did...replacing him with Boris Diaw who averaged 6 and 9 ppg PER36 in ATL) and still get to the WCF. when Davis has Ish or Frazier or Roberts or Rivers or Jimmer feeding him for significant chunks of a season, that's an issue.

maybe Davis gets to a point where he can create/dictate offense this season. sure looked like it Wednesday. if that happens, happy to revisit this.

now i do think the questions about Davis on defense are entirely legit. he's been underwhelming for me on that end. that the Pels have been bottom 3rd of the league every year he's been in NO is simply unacceptable. he has to be better on defense.
