    I heard one of his friends may have yelled at somebody downtown PDX last summer, and it may still become a pattern of having a dumb friend. :dunno:

    Lillard gets all the highlights but it's the other players doing the majoriry of the contributions to put him in a position to get credit for the win. Wes had great D on Harden. Lopez bangs with centers. Batum normally gets more assists relative to his position. Lillard is the public poster boy for the team but you could put a ton of scoring PG in that spot and the results would be the same.

    Real stars play on both ends of the court so if Portland ever wants to contend they need an upgrade. Best to trade Lillard now while his stock is super high and his warts aren't being critiqued.

    Wes should have been in the 3pt Challenge over Lillard, but Lillard selfishly took Wes' spot so Lillard could do all five events. Don't tell me that won't be remembered.

    I don't think Wesley would have been invited to the contest if Lillard turned it down.

    Lillard should have insisted that Wesley be invited over him. /SARC
