Are we really trying to compare a future HOF in Westbrook and a player who's not even an All Star in Lillard?

Nurk created options for this team. Dame has a losing stretch.-All players get them. He is still a hero because he did not leave when the starting team departed. He has the savior role and blew it a few times. This is Stotts' problemLast three games, arguably the most important games of the season:
5/14
5/20
7/21
I mean, we all know that he will always have that good stretch of games after the ASG, but the NBA season is not the 10/15 games after the ASG, it's 82 games.
Great players are the ones who can turn it around when it matters most, Lillard just isn't that good.
His performances are depending on his jump shot who is not consistent and he doesn't have the body/athleticism of a Westbrook to make up for his bad shooting nights or even the court vision of a John Wall.
Look, it's not a question of being a fan or being a hater, i'm the first who would like to put Lillard in the same conversation as Curry, Westbrook, CP3 but it's clear that he's not worthy, with him as "Batman" we're battling for an 8th seed.
It's not Nurkic absence guys, he's not a superstar either, it's the fact that Lillard is not good enough to carry us like Westbrook or Harden are doing.
aren't you guys tired of watching Lillard jack up shots against real competition?
LOOK AT HIS CAREER RECORD AND SHOOTING % AGAINST CP3:

Answer this: in your opinion, on a championship caliber team, what role Lillard should have?
Remember that Klay Thompson and Kevin Love are 3rd/4th options on their team

He's unbelievable!I have no idea how any of us believes in him.
I personally agree with feeding trolls sometimes (not always) because often they just want/need attention and honestly if they are having a shitty day or whatever drives them to troll then why not let them have a little bit of happiness. It's not like it's actually hurting us, and at the end of the day we know everything they are saying is bologna.stop feeding the troll. This guy is getting what he wants every post. Shit gets pages on pages
How can you still believe in Lillard?

I'm here, and yes, it's so childish to bring up the thread after 1 good game.

Weak AF unlocking this to talk shit. You're better than that... But now that it is unlocked I'll go ahead and post what I was going to...

Well at least it was mission accomplishedSorry, thought I would show a troll how to troll.
Those are NBA players idiot. And he's going against the best rim protector in the league.I'm here, and yes, it's so childish to bring up the thread after 1 good game.
We all know he can explode on any time, but still his performances are a roller coaster.
Playing against DLeaguers like Exum and Mack helps too, you won't see him score 26 in a quarter against CP3.
Sly opened this too early - he just jinxed this team and Dame.
Now Dame will miss the game-winning shot, we lose, tightening the playoff race, and then Sly gets trolled by the troll.
