How is it complicated? How is it confusing? It seems pretty straight forward to me. If you( and I am using the universal "you" not the possessive "you") just pay attention to how the post is typed and notice the time stamp for the posts and it's all pretty clear. Why does everyone( again universal) need to be led by the hand for everything? It's okay to cross the street by yourself.
It's not worth fighting it if you're that intent on being ambiguous. I thought you wanted people to follow along with some semblance of interest.
Lillard will score 26 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block against the Mavericks tonight. @Orion Bailey ,@handiman, does the above work for you in differentiating the prediction and results?

In his post game interview against the Jazz Dame said everyone would have to 'man up' and that he would be one who mans up coming back for the stretch run so keeping that in mind Lillard will score 35 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks against the Magic this evening.
Dame had 33 points, 2assists, 5 rebounds and 2 turnovers in 32 minutes in a win against Orlando(02/23/17.) Dame was a +26. 9-11 on the FU Tour. 6-6 since losing to Philadelphia. 1-0 post All- Star snub.
Shouldn't we start a C.J. FU All Star Tour? Lillard isn't an isolated case. Every player with All-Star level ability who plays for Portland will have enormous difficulty the All-Star team. Literally every fan in the NBA will tell you that. There's no point in making it look like a chip on Dame's shoulder.
Go ahead and make one for CJ then. I am still waiting for @Strenuus to make the Jusef Nurkic FU Revenge Tour thread.
Actually, I think part of why Dame has leveled off a bit, at least in terms of his dramatic early growth and clutch play making, is he lacks the consistent chip on his shoulder that he came into the league with. He went from having to prove that he belonged, to having to prove that he's an All-Star. One is much more fleeting motivation than the other. We need to make it look MORE like there's a chip on Dame's shoulder!
