Just rolled back the game to catch the foul...ah, there it was, at 1:44 left. Hmm... didn't look too bad. Caught the side of Copeland's knee. Seems like Copeland would be more likely to be hurt by that collision than Lillard would. Oh wait, I'm supposed to say, "WHY WAS HE STILL OUT THERE WITH A 12 POINT LEAD AND LESS THAN 2 MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME?! STOTTS SHOULD BE FIRED ON THE SPOT IF LILLARD ACTUALLY GOT HURT THERE!!"
He was averaging that before the game started, it's probably higher now. I wonder if he can break the 20 mark before the end of the season.
See below for who guarded him. His eff points summed to 32, in 44 minutes. This is only his 11th best game. http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketbal...s/lamarcus-aldridge/gamelog/13/25/352/1-1-eff It was the Knicks 3rd straight loss. They started Kurt Thomas, Kenyon Martin, Iman Shumpert, Chris Copeland, and Felton. BFD.
With the way he's playing in March I think it's possible, he's up to 25ppg so far this month and like they said on TNT is on an 8 game +20ppg streak. If he gets up to 20/6.5 and brings his FG% up to like 45% he'll get a big headstart on an Allstar bid next season.
I think the migraine handicap makes it (for me) his best game. Yeah it was against the Greater Manhattan Retirement Center, but it was a valiant effort.
Lillard is on pace to break the rookie 3PT FGM record, and he could (with a slight scoring uptick) get his average up to 20 points a game. That would put him in a rookie class with Oscar Robertson and Allen Iverson.
I bet he has migraines often, but Mike & Mike cover it up. Meds would explain why he's sometimes out of it mentally, smiling.
Nah, the Mikes would totally play it up especially if he's having a bad game. The smiling? Some people smile when they're upset. I mean, would you rather have LMA or Ammo? He gets plenty upset at losses, so that must be a positive...
It's like he doesn't know he's not the best... it's like his coach hasn't beat potential out of him...
I went to the game tonight and saw you and your girl on the 'Fan Cam' on the big screen in the first half. You were wearing a white blazer jersey. You guys looked good!
Dame has most definitely improved his game over the last month. This increased production is no fluke or flash in the pan.
