    He toyed with Lillard's defense.

    It'll be fine though, he'll learn.

    Lillard is going to have trouble with defense for awhile I'd wager. However you want to cut it, Westbrook is an all-star and Lillard is a rookie and it seemed to show.

    Lillard would have had a better game than against the lakers if Batum hadn't been so stymied by defending Durant... He seems like he always underperforms against Kevin.

    Oh yeah I don't disagree. But Lillard with worse teammates managed to distribute better... You know, like a pass guard.

    agree, we played hard but OKC is a NBA finals team. Like what I saw and I can easily watch these guys. Lillard another good game, Nic's offense was awful tonight

    Good individual stats for Lillard, Hickson, and(against all odds) LaMarcus.

    Well I feel like Lillard didn't necessarily have a great game but he still had good stats and that makes me very hopeful

    21 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers, and I agree, it didn't feel like a great game from him... Holy Hell!

    Some positives we can take from the game (and granted, I'm taking these almost exclusively from the box score and what you guys said).

    Lillard played well against one of the better PG's in the game.


    um...

    Im sure there were other positives.

    For his second NBA game against the runner up in the finals? He played fine. He shot efficiently, took care of the ball and even managed to distribute the ball instead of reverting to ball-hog mode when things started to slip away. Nothing for him to hang his head about at all.

    Could be worse, we could have lost to the Orlando Magic like the Nuggets did

    Babbitt didn't spazz out in actual quality game time (that much),
    Meyers Leonard didn't fall as much as Game 1 and is showing a bit of spunk.
    Hickson has some bounce.
