    This 10,000 post rule is great. Welcome back, HCP! We prepared a straw mat for you in the garage, unless the dog grabbed it.

    In your opinion, what did the Nets do to Lillard last night? I did not get to see the game.

    I felt like Deron Williams and Marshon Brooks just bullied him around. They're just big physical guards that pushed him out of his comfort zone. Lillard was working so hard on defense he just didn't seem to have it on the other end. You have to remember that Lillard has never really faced a PG like Williams--6'3, 210lbs, great passing skills, good defense. It had to be a real shock to his system.

    The NBA is full of smart people, and I think a lot of teams are going to try to cover Damian with their SG to force that size mismatch. But Lillard was able to force some switches in the second half using his quickness around picks--I think both he and the team will adjust by setting better picks and running more offense through Wes.

    Anyway, the big adjustment Damian has to make this game is that he has to not be going against Deron Williams. Luckily it's a pretty easy adjustment. There's only one of them in this league. :)

    NJ didn't allow him to get into the lane. Damian seems to have a harder time of that than I expected, actually. He had a hard time setting up the offense as well.


    Defenses will scout that

    Lillard dominated DWill (13/6/6 while DWill had 5/0/5) for most of the game but after his 3rd/4th qtr rest, he and the rest of the team were out of sync. Same with Leonard. He completely dominated Lopez in the first half but after too long of a rest in the second half, he came back in out of sync.

    Anyone know Aldridge's status for tonight?

    No. But I'm at Washington and Boston. What's with Wes getting sick? What have he and Nic been up to?
