    Exactly.

    "Damian Lillard is not a star because he didn't single-handedly defeat the defending NBA champion team that just set an NBA record for regular season victories when the champions clamped down on him and none of his teammates could do shit to help him out."

    Really?

    He did. They included a tweet that he posted after the Bayless sound byte.

    If you look at the 4th quarter box score -

    Harkless - 1-4
    Plumlee - 0-3
    Hendo - 0-2
    Aminu didn't attempt a shot.

    CJ was the only who shot a decent percentage (3-6), but those three misses he had were awful.

    It's not even the missed shots either; Aminu had some awful turnovers, and there were offensive fouls on pass offs, and all sorts of chaos. Total team disruption.

    I was never a fan of Bayless when he played for the Blazers.

    By the way, I think we're just almost done seeing Aminu playing in the fourth quarter of a playoff game; I think if he's going to be deployed with effectiveness in the future, he'll have to play from the bench, and not play in crunch time.

    You're thinking of the T-Rex guy, Jerry or something.

    Skip is the guy with the short weiner.

    Yeah, we should have taken this guy's name as draft advice and just skipped Bayless.

    John Canzano will probably be the next Skip Bayless one day.

    SAS "I KNOW DAMIAN LILLARD! His mother and I go wayyyyy back. BUT IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF A BASKETBALL MATCH HE NEEDS TO PUT THE BALL IN THE RING, JOHN!"

    JC "He can't do it because he is feast or famine! Not good enough to lead this team to a finals trip! Not a superstar! Sorry not sorry to the soccer moms in Portlandia."

    My only problems with Lillard is shot selection and not knowing how to attack double teams. You gotta be sharper with your passes and attack the double team early. I'm tired of seeing the deflections.

    Game 1 against GS he was 8-26 and got to 30 points when the game was over.

    Game 3 he was a no show for most of the game until the 3rd when he had his feast moment then went back to no show in the 4th

    Honestly these playoffs Dame other than game 3 against the clips where he was pretty much a star from start of that game to the finish of that game, has been underwhelming. I get hes the focus for the defense but so is all the best players of each team in the league.
