Blazers never win when Lillard scores more than 35. Just think about that before you ride Lillard's jock too much.
To be honest, I DON'T think a PG should be scoring in the 30s - not unless they're also dishing out double-digit assists. (I've never really liked Rose.) With that said, I can't deny Lillard's scoring ability - it's truly a HUGE plus for this team and the ONLY reason we made a game out of it tonight. I hope Stotts figures out some plays to help Lillard with the double-team, because so far it seems to be a very effective way for keeping him from distributing the ball.
Steve Kerr @SteveKerrTNT Congratulations to Damion Lillard on officially wrapping up the Rookie of the Year award tonight.
He would have had 7 or 8 assists if Wes, Luke, or Aldridge had hit even some of the wide open shots he was getting them.0
You would think, at some point, that his love of the team would stop him from going to games.... but no. Makes you question whether he's a true fan, no?
Maybe he should really test his curse and try going to a blazer game against a team like Washington. If we lose at home with him in our stands, then he would know just how important him not being there is to our success!

Thanks. Imagine if he got the benefit of some calls more often? Wow, Marshall had 12 threes in his game and only played 28 minutes. Another interesting note, only 1 of these players shot under 50% from the floor, and even his % was decent.
