    In all fairness, mixum could be annoying, but that dude took so much shit from other posters at times i felt bad for him.

    The difference is, I don't think Tunchi is "inviting" it... but from most of what I read from Mixum, he wanted it... it almost seemed like he enjoyed it.

    Another difference... Tunchi never starts threads. lol.

    Tunchi smacks of a troll. Maybe he isn't Mixum, but I don't think he's on the up and up.

    I will say this, Dame would NEVER walk off the floor in the middle of a playoff game and abandon his teammates.

    NEVER.

    Damn exactly you nailed it as well. At the end of the day we all want the team to do well in the long run. That we can atleast agree on.

    Really the only difference I have with majority of posters here is how good Lillard is.

    I personally don't think he's NOT THAT GOOD (first team all nba level) I think he's a fringe 3rd team to outside looking in top 20 player. I mostly believe he's a perfect Robin (mentally and leadership wise he's built like a first option tho!) but skills wise as of right now he's a perfect Robin.

    The rest of opinions believe it or not I actually agree a lot with what folks around here think.

    Meyers sucks
    Keeping Crabbe
    Stotts a top level coach
    Great Gm
    Etc

    A lot of these I agree with you guys on but it's the Lillard opinion that pisses you guys off clearly. At the end of the day if Lillard comes back next year with better shot selections, better overall FG percentages I WILL BE HAPPY TO ADMIT HES GOTTEN BETTER!

    Until then let's remember it's not that serious we have a great basketball team with solid future to look forward to.

    That's why I call him a fantastic leader

    I've always said that and that alone is worth him staying here for life

    Just improve your shot selections and defense that's all I ask

    Kind of hard to argue that Dame couldn't stand to improve his shot selection and defense. But I'll take the two head-scratchers he throws up a game along with all the other great plays he makes.

    Some people on this board seem to need a villan, then they ban one and move on to someone else. But I remember Mixum really hated Patterson and Nash before it was popular, and he turned out to be right about that.

    Do you all have Iphones? I love this site on my phone.

    I had to type a text on my wife's Iphone today and her keyboard has no numers or a period on the main screen. So annoying, is there a setting to change?

    I'm a Blazers fan first and foremost, but I'm also a big Lillard fan. Having said that, these were the same complaints I've had with Lillard for quite some time. I just never posted about it because other posters have already said it.

    I don't think it's unfair to discuss that part. At least your consistent with his leadership. Easily he's a TOP 3 leader in the league.

    PapaG was banned.... what.... 2 years ago? Which villain has been banned since then? Some people like to exaggerate about the moderating on this forum, because there's basically zero moderating and nobody is persecuting you.

    If Dame was more efficient and played better defense, he'd be on a Stephen Curry level. So while there are some complaints, its a perfectionist type of view. You he can have a little better shot selection. But he's a guy that averaged 25/7 and led a team of cast offs to the 2nd round.

    Thing is, he'll improve for the next 3 or 4 years. I think he'll be a top 4 MVP candidate in his prime while putting up 28/8/4 on 45/38 percent shooting. Yeah, throse are insane numbers, but its not far off from what he's doing now.

    Oh absolutely top 3 leader if not number 1

    I've always thought Lebron was a fantastic leader as well just because how he's always engaging with his teammates in positive ways.

    Lillard has that same vibe as well

    Oh I totally agree. The dude can easily do that. I just have a problem with his FG percentages these last few years and this year shooting an ugly 41.8%

    But like you said if he could do 45/38 percent omg you would immediately tell his difference.
    That's why I'm so huge on Cj Bc the dude has perfect shot selections. Lillard will be better tho
