    Thank God for Sauce. If it wasn't for his creamy goodness, we'd be up shit creek.

    Sauce gives us something nobody else on the roster does.

    I love his unselfishness.

    He’s a pretty underrated playmaker.

    Tries to do too much sometimes though and still an awful defender. If he isnt hitting shots, he's a liability.

    The entire conversation over the last couple days has been about Lillard not being a good three point shooter. The response has been that teams guard him much tougher than the other players on the Blazers. Hence when he gets a chance to shoot an open three he rarely misses. That is the point of the statement. So yes the statement stands. He is making a few people look like fools at this point because those shots are the same shots Leonard and Curry and Stauskas are taking.

    If you like defense, you came to the wrong place.

    Doesn't help that there hasn't been a lot of production from anyone else.

    Is it too much to ask our players to make all their shots?!??? Either that or play defense, you know?
