Last three games, arguably the most important games of the season: 5/14 5/20 7/21 I mean, we all know that he will always have that good stretch of games after the ASG, but the NBA season is not the 10/15 games after the ASG, it's 82 games. Great players are the ones who can turn it around when it matters most, Lillard just isn't that good. His performances are depending on his jump shot who is not consistent and he doesn't have the body/athleticism of a Westbrook to make up for his bad shooting nights or even the court vision of a John Wall. Look, it's not a question of being a fan or being a hater, i'm the first who would like to put Lillard in the same conversation as Curry, Westbrook, CP3 but it's clear that he's not worthy, with him as "Batman" we're battling for an 8th seed. It's not Nurkic absence guys, he's not a superstar either, it's the fact that Lillard is not good enough to carry us like Westbrook or Harden are doing. aren't you guys tired of watching Lillard jack up shots against real competition? LOOK AT HIS CAREER RECORD AND SHOOTING % AGAINST CP3: http://www.basketball-reference.com...yer_id2_select=Chris Paul&player_id2=paulch01
Yea his shot didn't go down on the outside but what great players do they take it to the bucket and that exactly what he did tonight and got to the free throw line.
So, bizarre. I posted this n another thread earlier today, but it's also 100% applicable here: You are such a disingenuous troll. If Lillard was missing as many shots and turning the ball over anywhere near as much as Westbrook, you'd be posting several times a day about his shitting shot selection and careless play. Instead, you're on here slurping Westbrook's nuts. Just look at these numbers: Missed shots: Westbrook = 1075 Lillard = 797 Turnovers: Westbrook = 424 Lillard = 193 So, until Lillard starts missing 50% more shots and starts committing twice as many TOVs, you have zero right to ever criticize him ever again in this forum. But we both know you will. It's your same tedious, tired, boring trollish act. It defines you as a poster. P.S. We won tonight. Why are you posting? Did you miss the 4th quarter and assume we lost? BNM
The truth or what Blazers fans like to believe? Lillard wasn't even an All Star the last two years, but it's easier to call it a snub instead of analizing the fact that there's more deserving guys.
Sure, Damian picked a bad time to go into a shooting slump, but he is still having his best season ever as a Blazer. So my question would be, what is there not to believe in?
And, another fact I posted earlier today for the Lillard haters: If Dame shot the ball as much as Westbrook, based on his superior shooting percentages, he'd be averaging 33.9 ppg. That would be the second highest scoring average in the last 29 years. BNM
Mods, is there anyway we can just consolidate the Lillard hate trolling threads and make it a sticky. That way the forum won't be constantly polluted with this insane bullshit. BNM
Missed shots???? You fucking believe I'm serious. It's the EXACT same reason you started this stupid fucking thread. You're a fucking troll, and not a very clever one, either. BNM
How many shooting slumps does he have every season? TOO MANY!!! it's not shooting slumps, it's the fact that he's not a good shooter. and think about that: his best season as a Blazer is so good that he's not even an all star and he's competing for a 8th seed against a team who have a 2nd year player as a franchise player.
Refresh you statistical knowledge: http://www.basketball-reference.com...ussell Westbrook&y2=2017&player_id2=westbru01 Look at BPM.
His shooting percentages across the board are better than Westbrook's, and it's not really close: Damian Lillard: 2FG% = .492 3FG% = .368 FT% = .895 Russell Westbrook: 2FG% = .460 3FG% = .347 FT% = .841 But Dame is not a good shooter and Westbrook is? Is that all you got troll? That's just fucking weak. BNM
