If this is true how do you have Lillard behind Irving.. Lillard was better in the regular season and way better in the playoffs than Kyrie..[/QUOTE]
They're definitely close. Could argue either way.

In terms of who is the better player I agree.. But in terms of performance than Lillard has to be regarded as much better as of now. Both in regular season and playoffs..
Take Lillard off of Port and they dont make the playoffs.. Celtics make the playoffs without Kyrie and flourish..
As a player that plays his best in big moments and big games than I would take Kyrie.. Though Lillard hasnt played on a team as loaded as current Boston..

Well I have to say, I don't think the talent gap is as big as people think it is.
Horford's better than all of Lillard's teammates, but CJ McCollum is the definition of a great secondary scorer and he always gets it done in the playoffs, too. Then you have Nurkich, who played like a top 25-30 player this year.
The Boston you and others saw against the Bucks wasn't like that until the last two weeks. Jaylen and Jayson have been mostly subpar for what was expected and Hayward's been a shell up until the last month. Al wasn't always 100% for the year.
[I]This Boston[/I] we're seeing is stacked with guys that can defend shoot and pass, sort of like a 2015 GSW without a Klay, but three guys that can scorer 20+ on any given night in addition to Kyrie, who's clearly shown himself to be a better all-around player than people thought.

So only 1 person in the entire forum put AD in the top 10, which means he might have been a top 20 or so player but now alongside LBJ he looks like a definite top 10 player, right?
