Robin Lopez and His Future Here

Don't worry I'm furiously writing my congressmen to see if he will add the facepalm emoticon. It will be the :MarAzul:

 

Lets see how these guys look in the playoffs before we write their season off.

 

Asparagus doesn't make you cry. It just smells kinda funky.

 

It's just a weird season injury wise. I agree. It ain't over.

 

If I was involved with the coaching staff, or a player on the team, I would certainly consider taking it 'easy' until the playoffs, and then giving it every damn thing I've got. The spurs have been doing this for how long? I'm sure that is a very pleasant idea for guys who have been nursing injuries. Do what it takes to get there, and then see what you really can do.

 

So you'd like the team to go into full rebuild mode?
It's shown in the past that teams don't get equal value for players like Aldridge/Lillard right away... And a lot of times.. Draft picks =/= better team.
Not trying to be snarky or start anything but that's what it sounds like to me.
Will you clarify?

 

I never said that lol.

I do have these 'Dame is overrated' thoughts from time to time. Rational or irrational, I dunno. And I wonder if these same thoughts walk into the heads that run this organization. If its a situation where they think they need to upgrade one of the stars to get to where they want to get to. Just how much backfire will they receive? And would this play into whether or not they move a player. I would hope it wouldn't. But I lm thinking it might.

 

Only a couple years ago the entire Warriors Organization was questioning Curry? Did they want to keep Monta Ellis or Stephen Curry. The thing was Curry had had a few ankle injuries and Monta was a better long range shooter at the time.
Curry has had 6 years in the league and Chris Paul has had 11. Those guys are better than Lillard right now but it will not be long until Dame is just as experienced.

Take longer to aim, it really helps.

 

We could've definitely traded him for Conley

 

Holy Shit! Did you watch the game last night?

 

Experience and what he has gained since he has been here is reason for me to bank on the idea that what I'm seeing is mental or some other problem and ride this out. One thing that concerns me about him is he isn't nearly as physically gifted as many other point guards in the league. And anything that he gets out of himself is not necessarily due to athleticism but more what comes straight from the heart.

 

Lillard needs to figure it out and be the best PG he can be, not Curry, Cp3 or who the fuck ever but the best HE can be. He's forcing too many bad shots and when it's so obvious his 3 point shot is off this year don't keep jacking them up from well behind the arc. I really like the guy and am glad he's a Blazer! But this is one of those key junctures in his still young career when I hope he figures it out sooner rather than later.

 

Curry led his team to lotto in first three seasons. Lillard has gotten us to the playoffs include a series win in his first three seasons. In 3 years, people will laugh if you say Curry is better than Lillard.

 

If the shot is not dropping. Beat your man off the dribble and go to the hoop. Be aggressive and find your shots elsewhere. So why doesn't he more often? I think it's mental but I also think it's physical ability. He's not nearly as quick, as fast, as elusive, as athletic as other point guards which makes him easier to defend. He knows this. He knows anything he is going to get he is going to labor for. There fore he relies on the perimeter game. The athletic part also inhibits him in the coverage of those more quicker, faster, athletic point guards.

 

Not sure what more we can ask for at this point. He IS going to the rack at least 4 times more often than last year. And he might not be top 5 athletically but he is at worst 7th. His combine numbers are good.

 

I think he's become a bit frustrated because of how other teams are now defending him, however some of the blame IMO falls on Stotts in not making changes in the offense and adjusting. Dame also needs to adjust, he has somewhat in taking it to the rim more and doing a solid job there, but I think there is more he and the team can do. Forcing so may 3's from way out needs to go.

 

Whoa relax there bud
