http://www.nbcsports.com/northwest/...ard-somebody-going-be-trouble-when-shot-falls Every year the same story, please somebody tell me who would be in trouble if Dame shot starts to fall. I mean, does he know that the NBA season it's not just the 10/15 games after the All Star Game where he has big numbers against teams who have no more interest in the season or are focused on the playoffs? If you followed Dame since he entered the league you should know by now that he's not a first option on a championsip team, maybe not even a second option given today's standard to compete. Are you not tired to follow a team that has a solidified ceiling as long as Lillard will be the primary option? I'm fucking tired of his speeches, his shoes, his rap songs and all the other stuff, i want a Giannis, i want a Westbrook, a fucking real superstar who is all about winning. Westbrook is douche with the media, but is an MVP candidate, what bothers me is that Lillard seems to know that he has to be kind with media in order to do all his business aside from basketball, he knows that Portland fans are happy even with a 0-4 defeat in the first round, all they care about is making the playoffs. Lillard is the definition of mediocrity, is obvious that he's better than Bledsoe, Dragic and company but it's also obvious that is nowhere near the level of Curry, Westbrook, CP3... so we won't have a chance at winning as long as he'll be the cornerstone of the franchise.
Yes, we should have drafted Giannis and Westbrook instead of Lillard. Because that was always an option.
Yes but they had a different team then also. They absolutely needed a shooting guard that could create.
Can you imagine if Portland didn't have their head up their ass? PG- Westbrook, Curry SG- Durant, Connauhgton SF- LeBron, Kawhi Leonard PF- Greek Freak, Draymond C- Anthony Davis, Boogie
Dame dropped 49 on Miami and 59 on Utah. Miami was fighting for playoffs and Utah was fighting for HCA. Dame scored as many points as Blake Griffin last night.
I kind of knew this thread was not gonna be real popular. I looked at it once and decided to let someone else post first. And along came a dog....
Its easy to say we want a better player than Dame, but where would we be without him people dont use their brain, dont they #nothingpersonal
We were so close to winning a title in those 2 years!!! if only every team could get injured like the Clippers...
So let's review... Lillard stayed in Portland for the majority of the off season. Would spend 3-4 hours a day working out mornings at the practice facility. Working out with any player that choose to stay in town and show up to the PF. Would then spend one hour a day in the studio recording rap. Is blowing away the misconception that players can't get national exposure and endorsements playing for a small market team. Has the talent and ability to elevate his game as the season progresses. "Hey guys, we're going to have to play harder if we want to make the playoffs, let me show you how." Zero off court problems. Not a douche. No Hoop Family. ... And all of this is bad?
yeah, i should stop arguing with homer fans, in this forum the clutch narrative of Lillard still lives even when his clutch numbers are atrocious. WE'RE SO GOOD WITH LILLARD! WE'RE GONNA WIN A TITLE! IF AMINU CAN PLAY LIKE THE OTHER NIGHT THE WARRIORS WILL BE IN TROUBLE!!!! LET'S GO BLAZERSSSSSSS That's more popular i guess.
