    I fell for the trolling. Well done. It took a few pages, but the "bogus stats" thing tripped me. You got me.

    I don't see where anyone is saying that LMA is the reason for 31-9. I see people saying he's a major reason for 31-9. You wanted to trade him in a panic last summer, and you keep doubling down on that idiotic stance.

    His PPP on jumpers is .94. The team's is 1.11. Done.

    Your whole fucking point is that LA hasn't improved or changed his game in years; what madness is it of yours that wants him to do something you insist he can't do? My god, do you see why you sound insane to us?

    Yes, I'm trolling you by asking you to give more stats.

    Again, what are LMA's stats on contested jumpers with less than 5 seconds on the shot clock? What are Lillard's, or Batum's, or Matthews', in comparison?

    That didn't answer the question. You know that, though.

    I wanted to trade him after he said he wouldn't re-sign here, and said that before the draft was the time to do it, rather than wait for the Melo/Deron/Lebron situation. I've said more often than you that he's the best PF in the NBA.

    If BrianfromWA went by the name MIXUM, nobody would put up with this shit at this point.

    Yes, and you were called out on your panic, and then have proceeded to denigrate LMA to the point of being the biggest troll on this board at this point. But, because you're a mod, it's accepted here.

    You had an idiotic and panic-driven stance this last summer, and you bashed posters who called you on it to the point of having some of us banned by proxy.

    So we either need A PF who shoots threes to pump up the PPP or a post player who doesn't shoot jumpers. Maybe LA for Love or Channing Frye?

    I told you, he shoots 37% eFG with <4 seconds. Batum's is 60%. Matthews' is 50%. Lillard's is 20%. Your point?

    Why do we need to change PFs? LMA is an elite paint player. He's not an elite shooter.

    Why is Lillard such a detriment to our team?

    You're confusing me with someone else. But don't let that stop you.

    Because his jumpers hurt the team and he won't change his game to reduce them. Ergo, if we want to improve as a team LA needs to go.

    My point is that LMA helps give those guys open shots at the end of the shot clock. If they're not open, then LMA has to fire up a contested shot.

    Should Nic be getting the majority of shots on this team right now, followed by Wes? Your posts seems to indicate that should be the case, and Lillard, your MVP, should never shoot at the end of a possession. I notice you don't put attempts into your latest "stat" post, but I'm sure there is a reason why you didn't do so.

    Oh bullshit. You were shitting your pants about needing to trade LMA last summer. Are you mentally stable, or should I pull up all of your posts from last summer about needing to trade LMA ASAP?

    Great try. He shoots 9% of his shots in the last 4 seconds. That's about 50 shots so far. And he shoots 20% on those, which is detrimental. I'd guess that the offense broke down, because I can't fathom that Stotts would draw up a play to get Damian the ball with <4 seconds left.

    Now, back to why you think LMA's been the reason our offense has upgraded from #16 to #1?

    Fuck it. BrianfromWA wins. I'd ignore the guy, but he's a moderator, so I can't.

    LMA is hurting the Blazers, and the stats show it. Nobody with an actual brain sees it, but that won't keep BrainFromWA from trolling this board and fighting with people defending LMA.
