re: Damian Lillard My God dude

No dude. I’d be surprised if you could find more than one or two GMs who would take Lillard over AD, and I like Lillard a ton. I love his attitude. I love his swagger. I love watching him ball out. And I have pretty strong negative feelings towards AD, but AD is still a generational talent. Demps was too damn ignorant to see that he wasn’t a leader. You put Lillard and 4 scrubs on a team vs AD and 4 scrubs and AD will win that matchup more often than not if he’s engaged. It’s not like you need some crazy talent like Irving to be the alpha. You just need someone with experience who’s strong and willful enough to tell him what’s what like Rondo.

How quickly we forget this same Portland team with Nurkic but minus Kanter (I think we can agree Nurkic is the superior player here) got swept by an AD led Pels team last year.

By the way, that 10 for 18 from 30+ feet in a 5 game series is an absolutely insane stat. My god Dame. That’s almost 4 a game.
