    I watched the game. Lillard was bad. If you don't understand that I don't know what to tell you.

    It wasn't his best game but Cp3 has always kept Lillard in check. He likes to hand check Lillard but the refs allow it because he's cp3.

    I like how you ignored my question.
    But you also ignored everything else I said.
    You're not wrong. 5 turnovers is bad. But the offense was worse without Lillard on the court.
    zero for nine from the field to start the 2nd quarter with CJ/Turner/Nards/Crabbe on the court. That's Lillard's fault too right?
    It's like I'm talking to a wall.

    You still don't realize CP3 wasn't guarding Lillard right?
    I guess you didn't listen to the Announcers say multiple times. luc mbah a moute was guarding Lillard. It let CP3 relax guarding Harkless.
    Which proves you didn't watch or listen to the game.
    Even other members on this forum have mentioned this to you....


    Hi wall how are you today.

    I'm aware CP3 didn't guard him every single time but he did guard him a couple of times and in the past has guarded him extremely well. That was the only point I was trying to make in that last post.

    Edit: And my other point was that Lillard has always struggled against the Clips in his career. Regardless who is guarding him--they are physical with Lillard and get away with it. In the 2015-2016 season Lillard averaged 18 points a game against the Clippers. In the 2014-2015 season he averaged 15.8 points. In the 2013-2014 season he averaged 14.7 points. In the 2012-2013 he averaged 16 points. He struggles against the Clippers period.
