    You bash Stotts, the team...as if you have superior knowledge....you don't. Terry Stotts coached since Nate McMillan was playing...I respect the wealth of knowledge these guys have about the game...now young man... this was about you and Stotts...not you and me, but I fold a mean pair of socks

    Lillard went 8-20 and 2-7 from deep. He is now shooting 39% from the field and 19% from 3 point range over the past five games.


    Feast or famine. Right now he's on the famine side. It's like a rocking chair this season going between the two. Love his assists going up tho latley, all in all, if he was normal in the 1st half tonight we win this game.

    He was a no show in the 1st half. The raptors pretty much never looked back after he gave them his famine side

    You seriously believe the crap you post about Dame? How can you expect to have people take you serious? If it's some kinda fun game to see if you can get away making ridiculous posts about one of the best players in the game, then I understand, but really?

    I bash Stotts pick n roll coverage. That's it. And if he has more knowledge than me that doesnt mean I can't criticize them. That means you wouldn't be able to criticize players just because they have more skill than you. And how exactly do I bash the team?

    But now you're talking down to me and that makes it personal which makes it between you and me.

    "Leonard, Refs shine for Toronto as Portland's comeback falls short"

    Is this accurate ?

    Well to be fair, Dame WAS bad in the first half. And if he was a little more consistent with his shot (since being one of the best players in the game as you say..) then we would have probably won that game.

    All in all I love Dame, but I also think the guy needs to stop telegraphing his drives, add a drive step back (aka Roy), and stop moving before the pick is set so he can break his guy off easier.

    Dame's shot was off but he was setting the table for his teammates. 7 assists at half, http://www.sportstwo.com/posts/3817326/

    That's why these guys can't be coaches they would never call out their best players lol


    Dame just lacks shooting consistency this season. 2-4 games of nice shooting, then 4-5 games of terrible shot selections which make bad shooting nights, then back to 2-4 games of nice shooting again. It's annoying as hell.


    CJ takes MUCH better shots than Dame and he is always on balance. He also is better at creating his own shot. He is also better at dribbling the ball hence getting his own shots. I’m really starting to think overall CJ is a better all around player than Dame. Why I PERSONALLY love dame so much really is more about his fire and personality more so than his game really.

    Last night...

    First half...

    Dame saw his shot wasn't falling so he set up his teammates.

    CJ led the team 1st half with 9 shot attempts.

    Lillard is averaging 7 assists a game, had 7 assists in the first half.

    Second half...

    Lillard shot 7/13. 2/4 3pt.

    4 assists.

    CJ 4 of 9.

    Harkless took one shot ALL GAME. Raptors were able to double team Dame.

    Dame - 27pts 11 assists

    I'm honestly not seeing what some of you are complaining about.

    I've said this before, this team has 2 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NBA quality starters and people are bashing on our best player when he gets 27/11!!??
    Are you fucking serious right now!?!?

    The opposing teams defense has one mission, TO KEEP DAME FROM SCORING! And he still puts up numbers like he has and these fools are actually critiquing him? 8 for 20, who gives a shit.......27/11 against one of the best teams and backcourts in the league. What the fuck?

    And this is why Dame not being an all star is so frustrating.... Their are only a handful of NBA players that could do what he is doing right now.
