    Huh? Curry is only averaging 21 ppg. Lillard averaging 25 ppg. It is not Lillard's fault that he has a teammate who averages 35 ppg. Lillard is better than Curry. It's not close. I'll be rooting for Curry tomorrow night though.

    Who is scarier? Look at how defenses play Curry compared to how they play Lillard.

    That's fear.

    In the regular season. In the playoffs when it matters, when championships are won, Lillard is better and it's not close. At all.

    Didn't Curry miss 10 threes in a row in the All Star game?

    To be fair, Curry has been further in the playoffs.

    Regardless, the Curry/Lillard debate will be around for years to come. lol.

    This is Lillard's first year in playoffs and he's going to 2nd round just like Curry did. Took Curry longer though. Lillard is doing it in his second season.

    I remember when Lakers fans and Blazers fans used to say the same thing about the Oden/Bynum debate.

    I dunno. I'm not going to say Lillard is better or Curry is better (That game earlier this month was just stupid crazy, by the way...) But, Lillard gets a TON of attention as well when defenses are keyed in on him. But, they also have to be keyed in on LA... so, that's not really an argument to be made on either side, really.

    Well of course that is true. I meant that you can't hold it against Lillard that he is only the second best scorer on the team.

    I understand. I'm merely stating a fact (at the moment). The Lillard/Curry argument is not going to be settled for years.

    I hope Curry scores 70 tomorrow and beats the Clippers. I hope we see the Warriors in the WCF. We would destroy them in 4 or 5 games.

    I love to see the Clippers lose. It's pure joy.

    I'd like the clippers to get to a game 7 and then lose by Blake doing a monster 360 slam as time expires into the wrong hoop
