    This year:

    Dame has scored 80 points on 55 FGA, or 1.45 pts/FGA
    Russ has scored 78 points on 76 FGA, or 1.03 pts/FGA

    Dame is almost 50% more efficient.

    But the only stat that really matters is Dame is 3-0 this year against Russ and 6-1 against him over the past two seasons.

    And that doesn't include the January 9 game in OKC when Dame didn't play, but Shabazz Napier (21 points on 10 FGA) out played Russel Westbrook (22 points on 20 FGA) in Portland's 11-point victory.

    I know you're a fanboi and impressed with all of his (meaningless) triple doubles, but I'd be a hell of a lot more impressed if it actually helped his team win.

    Do you think anyone who isn't a troll would consider Lillard a third tier point guard?

    What matter more, stats or wins? The answer might explain your affinity for Russ.

    I only brought this up because I saw that he said he was DOMINATED by Dame. Thanks for the numbers.

    I was thinking the same thing. Some seem to be getting "Tier" and "String" confused.
    If he tier has two PG's in it. Then 3rd Tier would be 5th or 6th best in the league. If it has 5 PG's in it then we are talking out of the top 10. Big difference.

    Domination isn't just in numbers. Watching the game and seeing Westbrook meltdown time and time again against us tells me that Lillard is in his head. I'll take a phrase out of your page with a slight modification.

    WE FUCKING WON THE GAMES

    Which is a bullshit way of weaseling your way into getting to say Lillard is Third Tier.

    So let's establish what the tier is, then.

    30 teams, how about 10% slices... three PG's per tier. Pick six active point guards you'd rather have than Dame.

    He is a top 5 point guard this year and the proof is in the MVP rankings as he is typically one or two in the MVP race for point guards.

    And we were 8-4 in those games even with Dame shooting below his averages.

    Where were you when it was time to celebrate those wins?? Ohhh that's right... On the forum of YOUR team probably... Kindly GTFO of here...
