    So you think there's no possible way he could average 1 point and .5 assists more than last year?

    I disagree that the additions will prevent that.

    I think he put the numbers up last season out of necessity. He flat out won't have to this year. Of course he COULD, but won't need to.

    Lillard is a team player and all.

    I think if he had something like 18/8 or 16/9 that could get him mentioned as well.

    The way I see it, his points will go down but his assists will go up. But, I definetly won't say he can't get 20/8... because if Lillard can, and he knows it, he will, if it helps the team win.

    Aldridge has already said late last season that Lillard will be an All Star this season. You guys are already forgetting how great Lillard is.

    Where's Jarrett Jack? Luke Ridnour? And Hinrich is about 4 tiers too low.

    They need a 14th tier for Hinrich. Collison is actually a pretty good PG, and Nate Robinson isn't a PG at all.

    Your guy Sergio didn't even make the bottom tier.

    Are you fucking kidding me? This guy obviously has no idea what the fuck he is talking about putting Lillard as anything but the best PG in the history of the NBA. Obviously this is a rag and he has no credibility

    FIFYOU actually. I said exactly what I wanted to say, but thanks for thinking you know what's best for me.


    Literally can't stand the pompous assholes who think they need to fix other peoples posts.

    no different than the pompous ass holes who complain about things that people don't say, because let's be honest here...you were doing exactly that. It's not the first time you made an argument of this kind, against comments or beliefs that NO one says.

    but it's easier to argue against a mentality that doesn't exist, because it feeds into your persona better.

    btw, it has nothing to do with knowing 'whats best' for you, it's about pointing out that you're making an argument against a made up mindset (to make fun of other blazer fans who think that the media is against them, or that the players here are much better than they are) that no one makes.

    What argument did I make with my statement? Re-read it and tell me anywhere in my post where I tried to make an argument?

    MM takes his opponents' point to an absurd extreme, in order to be sarcastic, and you announce that he made it up. Well duh.

    What he meant to say is that LMA is the best PG in the NBA.

    The only thing that is strange is how you act like that's not what you're doing.

    Oh, I get it now. You're one of those shoot first, ask questions later kind of guy. That makes sense

    As opposed to the guy who refuses to admit when someone called him on his poor attempt at a joke/snide comment/sarcasm?

    I've read more than 2 of your posts, so I know that is not actually how you feel about Lillard, and I've read enough of your posts to know you feel a lot of Blazer fans over value the players on the team. And I've read enough of your posts to know that you seem to feel that Blazer fans condemn beat writers who say anything negative about the Blazers and discredit their opinions, while at the same time praise the beat writers who say anything positive about the team or it's players.

    So yeah, I'm going to stick with the fact that I added "~said or thought nobody ever" to your thesis statement and didn't invalidate your submission for your doctorate.

    The only way your statement is how you actually feel is if either you're A: trolling or B: 13

    So as I said originally, you fixed it for you....not me.

    Now that that's cleared up, continue having a shitty day and trying to force your opinion on others by making their posts, yours

    By you correcting his "FIFY" by saying he fixed it for himself, didn't you do exactly what you objected to him doing?
