I hope you didn't take offense to my response - not intended at all. I wanted to reply to you because you took the time to write a good response. I...
Yup. And the bolded part is why I'm not going to get too bothered to look for stats to back-up my opinion that he's not spectacular. Now, if he's...
I appreciate the fact that you're trying to have an informed conversation about this. I'm just not concerned or interested enough to dive deeply...
I hope we are wrong on this some day! But currently we aren't. Because he possesses that competitive fire I do think he will eventually become much...
I specified that his outside shooting (along with competitiveness) sets him apart. It's the rest of his game that is rather pedestrian.
Haven't really given it any thought, and haven't really watched other teams except when we play them. I've just been underwhelmed with Lillard this...

Because we just aren't THAT good (we're good, just not .700-.800 good). Lack of defense will keep other teams in the game, except on the rare...
He rarely ever works for position. So if he's NOT working for deep position he needs to come to the ball once the pass is made. He doesn't do that...
So never pass to LMA?
That one was on LMA - if he's not working for deep position he needs to come to the pass.
Yup. Still, at this point, he was the better player when isolating what each of them can do individually. Until Lillard develops a game inside the...
Stotts' system doesn't really utilize a PG, though. D'Antoni's system is always most successful when the PG is running the show.
I would say he "had" a good back to the basket game. On the rare occasion where he works in the post these days, he isn't as good as he has been in...
How about the nickname Raisin Brain until he improves his BBIQ? ;)
I haven't seen Sergio since he was with the Blazers. But Marshall is no more of a "bust" than Leonard or Robinson. Sure, "some people" may think...
