Lillard Time!

 

[crandc]

Lillard was the leading scorer in the NBA for the week, averaging 34.7 points (46.9% FG, 56.3% 3-PT, 83.9% FT) to go with 3.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists. He also led the league in three-pointers made (18) and was second in free throws made (26).

The Trail Blazers (40-26) went 3-0 on the week with victories over the Lakers, Knicks and Warriors, extending the longest active win streak in the league to nine games.

Yeah, pretty decent.

 

[Reep]

84% from the FT line? What a loser.

He's trying to join the exclusive 45/55/80 club.

I wonder if that's ever been done. Steve Kerr maybe?

Is he a member of the 700 club too?

Nope, the NBA record for single season 3FG% is .5364 by Kyle Korver in 2009-10. Kerr had the second best season at 3FG% = .5235 in 1994-95.

No.

Nor is he a member of the Hair Club for Men.

A funny anecdote - I often wear my ratty Blazers sweatshirt on the weekends. Yesterday, two random people recognized it and commented to me about Lillard. His recent demolition of the Lakers has definitely sparked an interest from the casual basketball fans in SoCal.

With Davis, Durant, and Harden looking slightly more human this month, now is the time for Dame to shine!

Good choice for the picture on the Blazers release -

This guy has been fun to watch!

 

[Spud147]

It's about time he started getting this respect. This is the guy who still had players and analysts questioning if he should be an All Star just 6 weeks ago.

No shit! None of the TNT guys had Dame as an All Star. They had fucking Lou Williams ahead of him. Jesus Christ.

Then a BIG FAT guy on that show asked to be reimbursed for a ticket to Portland. Are these people actually Americans? They probably think Portland is in Alaska!!!
