    We are about to shift to a pick and roll offense. This will help Damian.
    Yes, I do. I think Pop will turn him into the LaMonster we saw a couple of years ago. Fuck him.

    Back to topic: I pray the retooling we are doing with the big men is to shift to the pick and roll instead solely relying on the pick and pop -- and I agree Dame can facilitate that.

    He might not get the scoring title but he might sell enough shoes to buy the Moda Center and rename it the Rose Garden

    I believe Dame will increase his scoring right around 25 and 10 assist.

    I'll bring this up next April when I'm 100% correct.

    I'm pretty sure we have a team full of dudes who's #1/only skill is rebounding...you think Dame's going to pull 5 a game?

    Sounds about right. I would be thrilled if Lillard could average 5 rebounds, I would be happy with 3.5

    He averaged 4.6 last year so he's already close.

    If I'm an opposing coach, I double Dame and take the ball out of his hands completely. I still think his numbers go down across the board.

    Dame takes some of the hardest shots in the league on a nightly basis and shoots about 41%.... so I'm thinking that's gonna stay about the same while the shot attempts, and, consequently, points go way up.

    he's also going to be running an absurd amount of pick and roll, so he will get more lanes to attack the basket which should lead to more of.....
