    But he certainly wasn't great. Pretty much not doubleteamed all night; I just didn't feel like he either ran a good team offense or did anything extraordinary individually. I hope he can step it up in the next series.

    He put up 28, 7, and 5.

    What more does the dude have to do?

    Apparently Lillard has raised the bar far too high in some people's eyes. Only triple doubles everytime.

    And he didn't even shoot that badly.....

    43% is right around his average. 44% from three.

    Only one turnover.

    Good game for lillard tonight. There were still a few shot selections that made me cringe, but overall I liked his game.

    Tonight he had a great game; the lack of the double team definitely gave him some open looks. You definitely saw him excel once Rivers got his face kicked in. He slowed up when Rivers came back.

    Scrub Rivers is actually a good defender...... but Dame still finally got the last laugh. Very good game by Dame tonight.

    Individually? The dude put up 12 in the first quarter when NOTHING was falling for anyone else.

    Get out of here with that garbage.

    That was kind of rude; I hope you also will step it up in the next series.

    lol. You're the one that said Dame needed to step it up... and he did in the 4th quarter of game 5 (to which we lose if he doesn't) and the first quarter of game 6 (to which we would have to climb out of a hole) so....

    He stepped up. Sorry you couldn't see that. Dame was vital. Hark and Plums were the MVP's of the series, but Dame was vital. Sorry.
