    No bench = starters using up all of their energy to get back in the game = no legs in the fourth. :dunno:

    Also Lillard suffers from Brandon Roy syndrome, needs to be way more aggressive sometimes.

    He had 16 games with 20+ points last year.

    Look, I'm not saying he had a great season but people watching this one game have been saying "why didn't he ever play like this for us?" and the answer is that he did.

    He suffers from being a rookie in his fifth game.

    The bench is scary bad outside Leonard.

    At least he shows flashes.

    The starters are going to be ran into the ground with these heavy minutes.

    His PPS numbers were fucking awful last year. He scored, but he typically used a ton of shots to get his numbers ... I also remember the way he played after the trade deadline; totall fucking chucker that froze Nicolas out and hogged the ball, so he could inflate his raw numbers and make himself seem more appealing on the free agent market.

    Ya, Dame is still in that stage where he's trying not to step on toes and is still setting up his teammates before looking for his own. Soon enough, he'll realize that he's one of the better scorers on this team and take over. I have full confidence in him realizing that.

    Congrats, lets give him a medal. Going off against the Hornets sure takes some big time talent. I have no idea why you're defending him so much, dude was inconsistent and trash for the most part last season.
