    These are the kind of stats that deceive Blazers fans.
    Lillard came into the league as a 22 years old rookie, it's obvious that he's ahead of many other PG's if you take into account the first 5 seasons in the league.

    I...

    Why is that Lillards fault?

    "Hey, you're going to be ahead of all the other PG's! Play down to their level"

    What?

    I want my baseball games to not be soccer games.

    A warrior based culture cultivates strong chant songs like that. Meanwhile we get "Out to the ballpark" a real ya ya song sang by any non relevant pop star.

    Personally, and I'm this way at any sporting event - no music, no chants, nothing. Enjoy the game and let it come organically.

    I can think of about three or four ball ML ballparks (off the top of my head) that still play that. Most of the time they have this patriotic 7th inning stretch highlighted by Kate Smith's rendition of "Gawwwwd Bleesssss Amerrrrrrica." It makes me want to wretch. At least NBA players are still cool despite the pomp and ceremonial stuff. But I miss the crazy coked up days of baseball when Strawberry, Gooden and Canseco were getting high, banging groupies and wrecking sports cars. It may not have worked out for their long term health but at least they some of those guys were interesting. Mike Trout is about as interesting as an Earl Grey tea bag.

    Pro or collegiate Sport couldn't do it. The worst are the World Cup soccer asses with their horns of Zeus.

    Well, the arena doesn't play the music, the fans do it by themselves. That's what's so great.

    Lillard's 3pt % is sandwiched between Tyler Johnson and Sergio Rodriguez. Crabbe and CJ are in the top ten. I would rather see Damian not on that list with a lower point total and more assists.

    Same goes for Westbrook. Guy is great but needs to stop taking the 3. He is near the bottom % wise yet takes the eighth most in the league.

    I don't like that, either, though. I like it quiet as fuck unless the action dictates otherwise. lol. But, there's thousands of people at the events and so it's impossible, but it's a dream, damnit.

    I do watch golf for that very reason.

    Never been to an event, though.

    Westbrook would be a bigger star on Lakers or Knicks too. Dude didn't even start on AS team this year.

    It's simple. Both seasons his team improved after the All Star break. While he may not deserve All Star berth, by the end of the season, he does.

    AD was a starter this year, and that's the smallest market
