This is the stupid quote of the day by Van Gundy.
Of course it goes through Lillard when he is on the court. Not only is he the leader of the team and PG their next two best players are injured.
Lebron without AD... 90%+ of the offense goes through him. Has been that way on every team he was on.
Steph??? Same
Harden??? On the Rockets Same. Now he has Durrant but without Durrant? Same.
Jokic? Same
Embiid? Without Simmons? Same and he gets a Loss.
Would you say Stotts is a genius if he was not playing and using lillard? Because he is literally using Ant as PG while Lillard is both On and Off the court for long stretches.
