We know Dame is incredible on offense, but tonight, I saw him actually back down as he was being abused by Ty Lawson and Randy Foye. We all believe in Dame. We all love Dame as a player, and are fortunate to have him. At some point, will Dame hear the challenge to actually get in a defensive stance, and shut down penetration for the opposing PG?
What's so funny? Dame was abused tonight on defense. Shaw went right at Dame, no matter who he was defending, even late in the game when Foye launched the stupid three. It was tough to watch.
Yes, because Dame doesn't have enough internal motivation after being frequently embarrassed on national TV that he needs the posters of S2 to challenge him. Either A.) He'll eventually get it and be a decent defender B.) This is who he is and we have to be content with it (ala Steve Nash) I'd say somewhere in between.
Because you would absolutely MURDER anyone who made something that even remotely questioned Aldridge, but Dame has a bad night and you post this? He's a second year player, he's had a few stinker games and some really really good ones this year. He needs to continue to work on his defense. Tonight he looked pretty dejected. It is what it is, but I just find it funny how you would slam someone constantly for posting stats about a hole in Aldridge's game, and yet you post this.
How about not 10 points 8 assists in the first half? Mo Williams played better defense on Lawson tonight, and Dame looked rattled to me late in the game.
Why make this about me? LMA went 44/13/5/2 tonight. Dame struggled, and was abused on defense. We watched the same game, right? It's a basketball game. I'm not going to MURDER anyone.
Because you're a hypocrite. You have been hammering on Brian ever since he made that thread about Aldridge, and yet here you are making a thread calling out our other possible All-Star for a hole in his game. If you're going to start making threads like this, you need to lay off Brian.
PapaG is right. Lillard has had no spark for many games now. He misses crucial free throws. He takes hardly any crucial long shots, and misses those few. I've been thinking for a month that--maybe he's injured? Mo is now Sparky the PG. Until whatever's wrong with Lillard ends.
I've rarely posted to Brian about his silly thread. He showed up in the game thread to comment on my posts.
Batum had 9 assists tonight, and leads the team in assists. He had to defend Lawson once it was obvious that Lillard couldn't contain Lawson. At that point, Randy Fucking Foye started abusing Lillard. jlprk brings up a good point. Is Lillard injured?
