    They played one game against each other. Crazy thing about that game is that while CLE won, Irving was a -2, while Lillard was a -1.

    Yes, players who are injured a bunch are ideal for Portland.

    You are in constant need of validation, right?

    No. I just like spreading knowledge and in translation that wealth of knowledge to be appreciated. I get taken for granted around here sometimes.

    So trolling is now accepted here, depending on the poster. Got it.

    Yeah, that's what I said. How amazing of you to call the #1 pick in the draft to be a potentially great player.

    I don't troll. I give my opinion. NateBishop, who brought up the trolling, is a troll, IMO. Plus, he sends angry PMs when he gets his feelers hurt!

    That's such a lame response. I thought you were better than this.

    How is asking if your post was sincere trolling you? You're paranoid.

    You troll all the time.

    I think anyone watching the game last night could see the gulf between Lillard and Irving. Lillard is a solid player, but Irving may already be the best on offense in the entire league. (Shame about his D.) I know everyone hates Isiah, with good reason, but he's right to call him unguardable.

    Kyrie's a monster. I think he has better handles than CP. Dame might be the better P&R player, but Kyrie is better at everything else.

    I think the only hypothetical Lillard/Irving question should be, will Lillard ever be on the same level that Irving is? And keep in mind that Irving is 2 years younger than Lillard.

    Also keep in mind that I love Lillard's game, so this is not a bash

    I will take the less spectacular but likely durable Lillard. Irving is other-worldly but fragile.

    Hmm, "other-worldly but fragile". We're Blazer fans. We have no experience with that kind of player.

    Irving is better in all stats per minute. But until he stops missing 20-30 games per season, I wouldn't trade Lillard for him.
