And I think this is what makes him so great. He knows there is a chance he'll be blocked but continues pushing. It shows his poise and his confidence. This is something guys like Rose or Lebron have....who actually have more block attempts than the average player as a result of them choosing to score more.
Lillard is absolutely our best player. And Batum is 4th or 5th by the way. Could've gotten someone else much cheaper for that.
Best in what way? In terms of talent, I think Aldridge the most talented player on the team. In terms of confidence, I think Lillard is way ahead of him.
In terms of on-court productivity. In terms of being irreplaceable. Confidence (like you say), leadership, steadiness, imagination, being the guy the other team needs to identify first and foremost in their scouting report. In terms of pure talent? I'm not sure. It's an apples and oranges thing when comparing a PG to a PF.
Ugh. You ought to ask him how he feels about the nickname "The Omen." Tell him it's a play on his jersey number as well as his first name.
Let's wait until he starts playing defense. Remember: it's much easier to look good as a guard because you've got the ball in your hands. Aldridge has to rely on others to get him the ball. And he can't freelance. BUT: Lillard is for sure the biggest reason to watch a Blazers' game.
How about we wait until Lillard makes and All-Star team or an All-NBA team before we start anointing him the franchise player? I'm not sure what the deal is with a few posters here, but it's like they have LMA Tourette's. It's LMA's team ... period.
yes way. All Star & All NBA selection... dude is a stud or those fans who recognize that Love is pathetic at D. He truly sucks at it. Regardless of rooting interest, lots of fans recognize that limiting points in the paint = winning basketball STOMP
