    He's only averaging 6.7 assists for the season.
    I know this is a young team but I think he should be getting more for a top PG in the league.

    Drinking like a fish is to blame.

    Team shot 39% tonight. If the person you pass the ball to doesn't make the shot you don't get the assist.

    An elite PG should be getting at least 8 assists a game. Don't ya think?

    Going into tonight, he was 6th in the NBA in assists per game. He was 3rd in total assists.

    Send @HCP a PM, he'll tell you what time the team plane will be landing. You can go out to the airport and tell this to Lillard.

    I enjoy BGD's counter points to made up arguments that no one made.

    If everyone other than Dame shot 0% BGD would blame him for having no assists...

    That's definitely the Mendoza line. 7.9 can get right the fuck outta here.

    The fourth quarter couldn't have helped.... Walt Frazier on his best day couldn't have gotten an assist then.

    Assist stats are misleading. PG's who never shoot and who over dribble, tend to have more assists.
    We need Dame to shoot......a lot. Having big men who are not great scorers also negatively effect assists numbers. Playing next to a SG who plays some point...also can effect those numbers.

    8 is about as much as we are going to get out of Dame this year.
