Exactly... There is a big difference between clutch and lillard time, but im on ignore for trying to get tot he bottom of it and being so annoying, lol. I kinda did the same thing in my thread, but did I put people on ignore that disagreed with me? Nah... I learned from it.. Its obvious the thickness of ones skin is as much a variable as peoples opinions on what defines better... or what defines Lillard time...
I dont think ANYONE will deny lillard is the best player on the team probably the best blazer since clyde and I want the ball in his hands end of game, but that doesnt always mean you have to TAKE the last shot sometimes when the game is on the line using the extra attention you are getting to get someone like CJ or Crabbe an open look is better. I love lillard but sometimes he has the tendency to get tunnel vision. He wants to be known as the guy who puts the team on his back in crunch time but he still needs to learn when that means a shot for him and when it's a shot for someone else.
See? Some people think this place has become shitty because they cant post these things without an arguement/backlash. I think this place is getting shitty because too many people ONLY post this type of stuff and never post ... or hardly ever post about positives when they happen. Its like some people just cant handle success and just sit on their hands saying.. "ill just wait until they fuck up, then I will start commenting...." That is what makes this place shitty....
We have a lot of emotionally broken fans; look at the franchise and it makes sense that we would. It's no excuse, but it explains a lot. The worst poster of all time was also a Bills fan; that should tell you all you need to know.
Man.. I was a Bills fan too. I loved that team of Thurman Thomas, Kelly, Beebee... man...I remember I couldn't lose on ummm ... was it Madden Football?....the with this team even against Aikmans Cowboys!!! I think Ive worn out my opposition posts though. I feel the heart ache too, but I just don't like that feeling and prefer to try to stay positive... what I need to understand is not everyone is me, nor do they wan to be, and nor do they think like me. I just... I watch news.. I think this world as whole needs more positive thinking minds...I take on too much of the worlds whoas... haha.
Yeah, everyone has their own unique take on our team. Personally, I like reading diverse opines whether they're positive or negative.
The difference between Roy and Dame: Roy reportedly went to management and complained about Randolph. Asked them to trade him. Dame tried to get Aldridge to stay -despite all the reports of Aldridge being a horrible teammate and leader.
Im not saying lillard time is a myth that's a stretch too far, Im not saying it's a major flaw in his game or anything even, just shot selection could have been better in that particular situation. He still needs to be better at cherishing possessions especially late in games IMO. Sometimes I do feel terry's green light gives him a little more leeway than I would like but live by lillard time die by lillard time...
I've been quite the ass in trying to prove my point and probably failed at it. I apologize to those I may have offended and only ask that you try to look at the point I was trying to make, not necessarily how I made it. Specifically Yayuza and OldManGrouch.
just so we're all clear http://hoopshype.com/2016/03/16/damian-lillard-numbers-that-may-blow-your-mind/
Honestly, I was trying to show how annoying it can be for many to constantly read the negative diatribe without being able to read any positive spins, by trying to be annoying with constant talk of the opposite... I am very aware that both Homers and pessimists can be annoying. I felt the pessimists were having a field day, so I went to war. I'm waiving the white flag now though because I don't think my point is coming across. I think most would rather just ignore me than see the lesson for what it was. I was definitely trying to annoy, but definitely not trying to offend...
Doesn't matter - he didn't save the team from the Jail Blazers era, so the emotional attachment is too strong for him to overcome.
Again, watch the .9 shot. It's a great example. You can right click on the video and reduce the playback to half speed. Watch it once while focusing on each player. Remember that originally the play was for Aldridge. Lillard wasn't suppose to take the shot. Who wanted the ball on that last shot? Lamarcus got pushed out of the play. It's easy to say if Lillard is being doubled teamed then CJ or Crabbe should get the ball but that is assuming that they're actively trying to get open and get the ball. Some players want the big shot and some players shy away from it.
So let me get this straight.... you post this video and you automatically get "likes." I'm going to start including this video in all my posts.
