    Lillard needs this game and has always been motivated by Westbrook’s shit talk.Westbrook has been waiting for this game since the moment after Lillard hit the series winner last year.

    Isn't Hood/Bazemore the very obvious answer ?

    Sure but Little is the best defender on that team, he is pesky and can get in Hardens head, thats the only way you can defend him, otherwise he gonna score 45 anyway

    I’m not sure I held your opinion on here in high regard before, but to say that the league MVP from just a couple seasons ago isn’t even a “good 2nd option” is just laughable bro. I know you are a basement expert on all things basketball, but I’m curious how many league GMs and coaches feel this way. HONESTLY?

    So the computer geeks and graphs say he is no good huh? Do you think opposing coaches don’t even prep for him then? They just show this chart to our guys in the locker room?

    1. I really dont care what you think about my opinion.

    2. I'm sure i know more about todays Basketball than you do.

    3. It doesnt matter that he was MVP 3 seasons ago, we live in the 19/20 Season, it's just a fact that he isn't a good 2nd option, he had to be traded for Chris Paul with his awful contract because no other GM wanted him, he's inneficient in almost every aspect of the game, he cant shot, his athleticism has declined over the last few years, so one of his strengts is taken away from him. He is a bad free throw shooter and he's an awful 3 point shooter. Thats why nobody except Houston wanted him.

    Do you think opposing coaching staffs hold him as in low regard as you?

    Yeah. Portland dares him to shoot his team out of games, and he usually obliges.
