    He looked very obviously tired last night, but that doesn't necessarily mean the rookie wall. Fatigue comes and goes for anyone. We'll see if he bounces back over the last five games.

    The last rookie to play more minutes per game than Dame? King James.

    Could be a lack of teammates in the Starting 5. Matthews, Batum, LMA... all have been out in the last couple of weeks, giving defenses one less thing to worry about.

    It's not so much that they've figured him out, it's just that now when he gives up the ball it doesn't automatically go to someone who can make them pay for double-teaming him aggressively. Guys like Claver, Freeland, and Leonard don't demand as much attention as Batum, Aldridge, Hickson, and Matthews...

    That has to be the second most nauseating nickname in the league.

    LA is the only guy that demands attention. If we had wings that could drive AND shoot (seems like a pipe dream I know), then Lillard would have much easier shots.

    On the contrary, all four guys are very capable of making a team pay for leaving them a little too open in order to apply extra pressure to Lilliard.

    I think he hit it in the 4th quarter tonight ... after scoring 38 points and dishing out 9 assists for the game.

    weird stat came up tonight that I didn't realize: the five-game streak of les than 20 points per game for Lillard was the longest of the season; he previously had gone no longer than 3 games between 20+ point performances. How sick is that?

    He was also the second western conference rookie behind Chris Paul to amount 500 assists!

    Now that Anthony Davis is out, Dame might be able to sneak in...
