I'll leave it up to you to wait for another poster to post advanced stats that are ....too advanced for you. Incapable much? Total Mags MO.
How is that "lit up"? THe only one who scored over 20 points was Lawson. If you're counting assists, how is that his fault?
He couldn't stay in front of his man. They got into the paint at will and found cutters/shooters all game long, ESPECIALLY Dragic. The PHX game was probably Dame's worst defensive game this season.
Okay let's give you production for production? Rubio: 15 pts | 14 ast | 4-9 FG vs. Lillard: 21 pts | 6 ast | 9-17 FG -----> Point Lillard J. Lin: 15 pts | 4 ast | 6-10 FG vs. Lillard: 18 pts | 6 ast | 7-13 FG -----> Point Lillard Nelson: 14 pts | 15 ast | 2 TO vs. Lillard: 4 pts | 12 ast | 1-16 FG -----> Point Nelson Dragic: 16 pts | 18 ast | 5-13 FG vs. Lillard: 24 pts | 7 ast | 8-196 FG -----> Point Lillard Lawson: 30 pts | 6 ast | 12-22 FG vs. Lillard: 26 pts | 4 ast | 8-14 FG -----> Point Lawson Seems your strawman fails again! Only one game was when one player (lit up) Lillard. It's way too easy with you Fez
Clear case of ESPN looking for a fresh angle. Who wants to read about Lillard being the best rookie this year....again. Everyone has already read it and heard it over and over. When he wins the award every month....there is nothing else to say. They need a fresh idea. Pretty soon everyone will be hating on Lillard. It is a normal progression that sports fans and the sports media seem to always go through. Part of the build them up to tear them down routine.
Every single one of those assists were because Dame couldn't stay in front of his man? Holy shit! That's terrible. Carry on.
Did you not pay attention to those games? Dragic and Rubio, especially, collapsed the defense all game long. "Everything they shot went in!" they cried -- When an NBA player is given that open of a shot/lane, chances are they're going to hit that shot.
Really? So when Fez says Lillard was being scorched by those guards, using their stats; ignoring just how Lillard faced them; it is definitely strawman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man So not posting all the numbers, knowing that Lillard out performed most he posted is giving a informal fallacy.
It's Fez saying that even though Lillard scored well as always, he didn't play good defense. I don't see the misrepresentation
Oh well Fez, I guess we can play that too with Davis huh? Dirk 25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists vs. Davis 10 points, 11 rebounds and 0 assists. Tristan Thompson, 9 points, 13 boards vs. Davis 12 points, 4 boards Boozer 17 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals vs. Davis 15 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals
