    I'm not afraid of BlazingGiant's wrath, so I'll say it.

    Cippy is Cool-y!

    You wouldn't know anything about cooly sipping in your job, BlazingGiant.

    I would jump off a bridge for Cippy. I would give my life for him.

    Im starting to think McCollum is becoming a better player than Lillard. And we could get more for Lillard, so it makes sense to trade Lillard if you're gonna trade one of the two.

    Hell no, I don't want to trade Dame.

    One, I dunno what you're trying to say.

    Two, you left off the "s".

    Three, what the fuck are you trying to say?

    Alcohol is a helluva drug. But I suspect you know that.

    Tonight, Lillard shot efficiently, proving that my posts carry weight. Tonight, I don't want to trade him. Next stop, Kyrie Irving.

    I just love that Lillard wants to fucking kill you.

    And CJ wants to make sweet gentle love to you while he fucking kills you.

    Lillard is better than CJ. Lillard is in a slump of sorts but he will recover from it. When both are at the peak of their abilities Dame is harder to stop for opposing teams.

    Not sure I agree, CJ has certainly closed the gap between their abilities either way. The fact that their as close as they are is amazing for all of us.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think Lillard is in a slump. I think his three-point percentage has dropped because he's having trouble balancing "absurd" threes with open threes. Last season, he was basically second only to Curry in defense-breaking three-point range, step-backs and off-the-dribble shots. Some of that is what makes him unique, but if he tries too many of those, his percentage is going to keep sinking. It's a tough balance to maintain and right now he's not balancing that well, in my opinion.

    Since it's a tough balance, he may always be quite variable in his shooting percentages, depending on how much he's skewing his shot selection towards crazy threes or open threes.

    Yes you are right top 10 "plays" in NBA history. But he is not a top 15 player now a days. NBA has film on him. Do the eye test - he struggles if his step back 3's are not falling. He couldnt guard an 8th grader, and he turns the ball over way to much. Name me a volume shooting PG that has won a ring? Curry is it and Dame is no where near his class. We need him to be 17 to 20 pts a game with 11 to 13 assists a night. Shoot the ball at 48% not low 40's. Yes my favorite player has troubles (picks up dribble to much, defense, and some turnovers) but in a year and half full time play he has grown way faster than .09. I want to keep both but i dont know if its possible if we want a ring. I was 6 that last time happen.

    Lillard will never go anywhere. It's Damian or bust now thanks to the fans and the organization. It might be time to think about moving CJ. I agree with those that say the two are similar type of players. It may be time to think about moving CJ for a more mobile, athletic front court player at the three for four.
