    Nobody complained about the shot that was done in Cleveland from the tip of the C near center court. That's cause it went in.

    None of you complained. That was a 30 footer too!

    I am getting sick of arguing about Dame with my friend. But as he points out 6 assists to 4 turnovers is hardly good. As is 8 of 20 shooting, nightly. But, here's the thing. I am such a fan of Dame, that he could break my windows, steal my vintage Donny Hathaway albums and I wouldn't care.... that's unhealthy, isn't it???

    I blame this all on Steph Curry...he makes all those ridiculous shots from 35 ft off balance.....those must take a lot of practice..Dame is a hard worker...he wants to be better than Steph Curry:)

    Look at his overall numbers in the 4th quarter. As much as we hate Quick, that dude rides Dames cock hellla times and sweats the shit out of him, but he actually provided more evidence than that game winner attempt against Dallas. But his overall numbers in the 4th quarter is trash this year (which is a good thing since this year is a wash anyways) but its nothing close to "Lillard Time"

    This all only came about after the Dallas game and quick was on talking ball and all he could talk about was that last possession. I mean really we are talking about one possession that sparked all this. Yeah it was a bad shot but I don't see a big deal here. Look at the surrounding cast here. Yeah he's not shooting well from three due to his finger nail and last season his fingers got banged up, other than that, that's his shot. Would you rather aminu take it? Gerald Henderson? McCollum is about the only other person on the team I would feel comfortable taking a last second shot on this team even on a set play. I'm not even obsessed with the idea of lillard time. Yes the .9 shot was amazing but it's not blinding me. Dames gotta do what he's gotta do. He averages 25 and 7 this year. He's become a better passer. Puts up a lot of shots and percentage is eh but other than that what more do you expect?

    By the way, I stand by the fact we should of kept batum and put our money elsewhere because I feel like aminu is another one of those players again. It's a bad situation that scares me more than this stupid lillard one.

    What's funny is you guys don't think Lillard is aware of this and is driven to do better. Did any of you follow him on social media during the off season? He didn't take a day off. He works his ass off. He is very aware of his shooting and is working hard to improve.

    I mean some of you just post the goofiest shit.

    Some of you act like Lillard doesn't care or doesn't want to improve. Or shooting better is a switch you can turn on and off.

    So True, Lillard is the first to admit what he did wrong, what he needs to do better, and put in work. His defense has improved and his assists are up, two of his biggest knocks for example. Things have changed significantly this year from last, let's give him some time to adjust shall we?

    I said it a lot last game and in a few others and only a few posters chimed in to agree. I love Dame but he's not perfect and his attempt at end of game launching ridiculous length 3 heroics needs to END in conjunction with the ISO ball stuff.
