    I swear to God Lillard made that last drive so he'd have more points than LA; I wonder if they have a friendly bet going.

    It really shows that Freeland is as much a perfectionist as Lillard is. I hope that rubs off on more teammates (it might have with LA)

    Funny thing is, it took him until age 26 to become an average NBA bench player, and that's after playing in Europe and in international tournaments for England.

    Yet, some people want to give up on 21 year-old Meyers Leonard 4 games into his second season as a pro.

    I think some of our fans should take note as well. Don't write players off so quickly. I know it is hard for fans as we do not have the benefit to watch them in practice. But it does take a year or two for players to adjust to playing in the best league in the world. No other league is close. The key is betting on the ones who will work their asses off to get better.

    Robinson's spin move is so erratic, it's as if he does it with his eyes closed.

    I have been a Leonard hater this season but I think you're right. I'm enjoying Freeland right now but he is 5 years older than Leonard and is more used to his body and has more basketball knowledge. I wonder what Leonard will look like in 5 years.

    I think Leonard is playing out of position - he's a PF.

    Could be. Ahletic stretch 4 makes sense. I mean he does get most of his points off mid range jumpers or dunks.

    Yeah he is not always smooth with the ball. But damn he teases us with his athletic ability. He really runs the court well for a PF. He blocks out pretty well. He is a good leaper with strong hands. And the form on his outside shot is pretty good. Even though he is very inconsistent shooting it.

    I would think he has to fall in the "don't give up on him early" category. Even though two teams already have. No doubt he is still raw.

    He has a little Gerald Wallace in him.

    Check this shit out:

    Last year, someone challenged me to get Lillard alone in a list with LeBron. This year? Easy peasy.
