He's been outstanding, but discrediting a guy with the stats (advanced and pedestrian) that Burns does, which are on par, if not better in many aspects is just plain nonsense. Gio and Burns are both every bit as noticeable on any given night as easily as valuable to their teams success thus far.
It is going to be an incredibly tight race and certainly not a travesty as suggested.
