Jeff Teague DEBATES whether Darius Garland is an NBA All-Star over Trae Young, Cade Cunningham

[@andrewthompson7806]

As a Cavs fan we can't get no props bro. In the NFL/MLB if you win you get love no matter what franchise. If the Lakers, Knicks big market teams had this record they would be handing them the chip. NBA and it's media is biased as fuck. DG is most definitely having a better year than Dame or Maxey. Can't wait to play the bumass pacers cuz DJ a hater😂

[@Tomfrom_woods]

Not maxey

[@notbryant1]

Definitely not Maxey or Dame 😂 Maxey averages 25 and 5 assists and he been leading Philly to wins since he came back full time, Dame averages 26 and 7 😂😂

[@andrewthompson7806]

This is another reason why the ASG is some bullshit. The Cavs get zero hype, no discussion on national tv, so most fans don't know how Garland is tearin shit up. We really have 4 all stars.

[@jacksonfinn23]

And the stats don’t show enough because all the Cavs guys play 30 minutes or less each game. Garland didn’t even play 2 4th quarters last week

A bit of nuance. No one on the Cavs averages over 32 minutes a game. So Don and DG are averaging less points AND less minutes.

Good point

Ofc he is, he's shooting 55/43/90 scorin almost 21 a game on the best team in the league. What more would he have to do to be considered an all-star?

It's so great to see him back healthy. Broke my heart last year to see how much he was struggling. This year has been an exhilarating comeback.

If you're just stat watching, look at DG per 36. No way Dame or Maxey should make it over him. And if you actually watch Cavs game, the way he controls the entire game, all game, is insane. And his efficiency is crazy, almost at 50-40-90 this year.

[@dearmas9068]

Obviously GD the PG is an allstar. So are Mitchell and Mobley. The Cavs are on track for a 70 win season, and they absolutely deserve 3 allstars this year. Onecould even argue 4, but thats almost impossible, especially for a small market.

[@JamilSmith]

Garland is an All-Star, folks. Complaining that you don’t think he should make it because you don’t like multiple guys from one team making it, even when said team is 29-4… bruh, what?

They depth is real and Mark it, Kenny and Mitchell talks this is the worst you gonna see Evan Mobley he's only scratching the surface and he's taking the step clearly he proved that he was so hot he didn't eat this game but bounced back versus LA. Cavs depth is silly but the chemistry and confidence building in Garland to Mitchell is huge with Darius period being back is not too be undersold by coach Atkinson also. That work is real and he deserves his all-star he gets those assist too. They deserve three. And could get four. Mobley does it both sides and that back court needs more respect on that..

@ 56% TS is terrible? It’s barely below average 40/34/88 splits when most of your shots are tough 3 paired with the best playmaking season in the 35+ years he’s having a great year. Not to mention garland is a 3rd option Trae is a clear cut 1

Unfortunately the Cavs players get 4-7 minutes per game played less than all the other stars. Cavs are blowing teams out of the water and are sharing the ball like never before. Garland didn’t even play in 2 4th quarters a week ago. The stats for those cavs are great but not amazing. Depends how much you value winning and context over pure numbers. Maxey vs garland maxey has the ppg by a few points but garland has wayyy better efficiency and more wins (not Maxey fault). Lamelo has the stats but is never available and the team is garbage he shoots like 25 shots a game. Trae otherworldly playing making but under 40% shooting and under 35% from 3.

[@TheTaekwon3]

Understand who has a better team around them. The cavs are built nice until the playoffs

[@jacksonfinn23]
