Damian Lillard won't participate in 3 point contest

[PDXFonz]

Just confirmed on TNT. Instead Harden and Irving will take the final 2 spots.

They did a random draw to predict the order and Wes will have (get to?) to shoot first.

I wonder if Dame was asked and turned them down. Good for him if that's the case, forget a counsolation prize.

Still an amazing list without dame. 3/8 will make it to the championship round.

The order in the first round

Wes
Reddick
Harden
Irving
Curry
Thompson
Korver
Belinelli

Ugh, wrong forum!

5,000 posts and still a rookie.

Skills challenge actually has a decent lineup as well, and they've changed the way it works. 2 players will be on the court at the same time, it will be a bracket elimination, and players will end by making a 3 pointer(instead of a dunk).

The brackets are as follows
I. Thomas vs J. Wall | T. Burke vs B. Knight

M. Carter Williams vs J. Teague | J. Butler vs K. Lowry

Dame has been atrocious from three lately. It's probably for the best that he not participate.

Probably a wise decision. 2 for his last 30! It might have been embarrassing.

Even worse... 5 for his last 40...

And if I'm not mistaken, 16 of his last 83... Some number like that. Teens/eighties.

Dame needs to get his back fixed!
