PGOTF.... fuck that, of the NOW

EDIT: I'm really, really seeing a Terry Porter vibe in this kid. Not afraid to shoot the rock, solid floor general.

?? relation to Lillard?

 

[BrianFromWA]

should be in the game thread.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Not to mention 11-17 shooting, that's very impressive for a rookie PG. He would've had 30 if he stuck those 2 free throws to start the 2nd half.

For $20 I can change your moniker for you. LillardBatumLMA?

Only 13 players since 85 have done the 28/8/0 TO/0 PF. It's a pretty good list.

The 28/4/8 is great. Those are All-Star numbers for sure, but the truly eye-popping numbers are -

0 TO's, 0 Fouls, 11-17 FG in 37 minutes

That's just absurd. That'd even be absurd for a six year, established All-Star vet, much less a rookie in his first 1/4th of the season.

I know I'm getting ahead of things, but the ceiling is higher than TP. Much higher.

Yup.... the zero turnovers really jumped out at me.... couldn't believe it.

 

[BrianFromWA]

GP is the only guy to do it twice. Jordan only did it once.

 

[Jayps15]

Allen should pay to have Payton sit courtside at every game, you know Damian wanted to impress The Glove

 

[BrianFromWA]

Allen should pay to have Payton sit ...

on the bench, if not as an assistant then wearing Nolan's jersey.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

on the bench, if not as an assistant then wearing Nolan's jersey.

Agreed.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Lillard > Rubio

I think that TP in his prime (88-93) is the best we can hope for.

I don't want him on the same list as Marbury!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Starbury had some great games as a youngun. And I'm ok with him being on a list with Jordan, Wade, GPx2, Hardaway and Dumars.

 

[crowTrobot]

not to take anything away from his great game, but he was very lucky not to have any TOs - got a couple good bounces of the ball in out of control situations, batum gets fouled after his bad pass, & threw the ball to a wolves player who couldn't hang on to it. breaks went his way tonight.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard just overtook LMA as the team's leader in season scoring average.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman With his career-high 28-point scoring night, @Dame_Lillard is now the #Blazers leading scorer, averaging 20.2 points per game.

 

[Natebishop3]

I would love to see Payton on our coaching staff.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman Through 12 games, Lillard is averaging 20.2 pts, 6.0 assts and 3.0 rebs per game, while shooting 47.3% from field (40.5% from 3-pt range).

 

[BlazerCaravan]

15% of the season down... Consistency seems to be pretty damn decent.

Over a full season, only Larry Bird (x3) and Dana Barros (?!?) have done so

[BlazerCaravan]

Lol a battle between Lillard and Lebron for this season.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I would love to see Payton on our coaching staff.

Or at least working with Lillard on the side on D.

Pretty DAMN decent, for a rookie!
