A Tale of Two Damians

[SlyPokerDog]

They were in different drafts. I think westbrook was in the 2008 one..

If stats don't matter to you then years don't matter to me.

Fact is we should have drafted Westbrook instead of Lillard.

I noticed it (and have been posting it) from the start of his 2nd year, not his 3rd. His clutch shooting got much less frequent in the 2nd year, and disappeared in the 3rd. In his 2nd year, posters thought I was weird, but fortunately, everyone now acknowledges my heroic solitary fight against homers.

In the summer after the rookie year, we read that the coaches were showing him tapes of his embarrassing rookie year defense. Early in his 2nd year, I started speculating that there was a connection between his efforts on defense and offense.

It's still a conspiracy theory (i.e. I have no evidence), but it's the theory that makes the most sense. Nice to see all you followers join my bandwagon. Welcome! Have a seat in the back, the straw is soft.

Yes. You are da man JL. Thanks for blessing us with your presence and wisdom.

Dame should start getting more calls now that it's been revealed he sold more jerseys than Russell Westbrook, John Wall, and Chris Paul. THOSE are stats and rankings that matter to the NBA!

Me da man!

How about comparing him year by year for clutch shots? He was great as a rookie. Used to be on 82games.com, but now it's also on NBA.com and basketball-reference.com.

This is not discounting all that Damian has accomplished in the clutch but when going over the points in the fourth don't forget all the garbage points he accumulated when his team was down big in his first two years. He has a few of those.

Ha! No, You da man OLTL!

Right back atcha Marzy.

[oldmangrouch]

Shocking how much this team has deteriorated.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

It is becoming mental for Dame but that is because it was physical for so long.

That got a chuckle.

He's pretty liberal with his 'likes' and his insults.

Just know it's on it's way!
