    Why are you incapable of making it personal?

    ONE OF THREE PLAYERS TO SCORE 1500 AND HAND OUT 500 ASSISTS IN THEIR ROOKIE SEASON.

    Allen Iverson.
    Oscar Robertson
    Damian fucking Lillard

    Suck. On. That.

    Never said Lillard wasn't good, but arbitrary milestones are just that

    They're only arbitrary if they don't support your point, no?

    Personally, I'm pretty stoked that this "is Damian better than All-Star Roy" discussion is even happening, in the midst of some of the worst shooting in Damian's life.

    My point, which I already made was that Damian is beating Roy in many of those same advanced stats THIS season. So where do you put more credibility? Lillard smoked him in terms of per game averages during his first year, and he's beating him in advanced stats THIS season. So you can't have it both ways. Either Damian was a vastly better rookie and roughly the same as a sophomore, OR he was not a better rookie, but he's a better sophomore than Roy.

    And you keep bringing up Swirsky, but ignoring the other factoid. Also, keep in mind that Dame swept the Rookie of the Month honors, which Roy did not do. Can't blame that one on Swirsky.

    I accept your analysis and I will immediately concede that Roy was only better in one of the seasons, thereby winning the argument and proving you wrong. Good talk

    I would go with Przybilla as a big man coach. Show our boys how to set some nasty picks!

    Rasheed's T's were never 'timely'...
    Dante is one player I really like. A great defender, hustle player and that mid-range shot (the only shot he ever took) was Money!
