Lillard 9th in PER

[KingSpeed]

Curry is the only point guard in the league with a better PER. If this keep up, Dame should be lock for All Star game. I know Westbrook was MVP last year but if he and his team keep playing like crap, he shouldn't make All Star game. It's early, I know, but something to start thinking about. All we have is what we have.

lol. If only numbers were the sole indicator that people make it.

LOCK for All-Star?
In Portland?
Really?

 

[Natebishop3]

Annnnd he won't make the All-Star team again. Just watch. The west is sooooo stacked right now. In no particular order:

Guards
Westbrook
Curry
Harden
Klay Thompson

Forwards
Paul George
Kevin Durant
Anthony Davis
Aldridge?
Griffin

Centers
Jordan
Cousins
Gobert?

That's leaving guys like Melo, KAT, Draymond, Dame, Eric Gordon, CJ, etc off the roster. Kawhi would be on it if he wasn't injured.

I hope he makes it but passes to hang out with his teammates instead...

So Dame is 9th in PER with 6-4 record but allllll of these players are better than him??

More popular? On better teams? If the answer to either is yes then they will come first.

It isn't about being better. Does anyone think that Klay Thompson is better? No.

But they will have better records. And the league rewards teams with better records.

I didn't realize little teenage girls in China who vote 5 times a day for the all-star team used PER as a measuring stick for who SHOULD and SHOULDN'T be in the game.

Set himself up for a letdown...... and the 5 people who LIKED his post.

Lol god who cares

Let’s stop playing .500 ball and be better with the easy part of our schedule first smh

 

[Mediocre Man]

He fixed that in a hurry

Now Lillard is #12. I had set the minimum PER at 25 since he easily made that, and now he barely does.

For you archaeologists reading this a thousand years in the future, don't blame me if he's not on my link anymore.

David West now has 127 minutes, so he surpassed the minimum 120 minutes I set to keep that bastard out. This just proves the old saying that no basketball database parameters are immortal.

So Westbrook, Paul George, Cousins, Griffin, Jordan, and AD are out then. We have a better record than those players' teams. Your argument doesn't hold up.

My argument is backed up by all of the last few years where he has been snubbed.

Because we were 8 to 10 games below .500.

Outstanding point Jinx.

How ya feel about Lillard this year? Ironic his defense is better the year his offense is wack

 

[GrandJury]

Lillard is shooting 31% from 3 this season

My goodness

Regardless - I have to give him a little credit. It seems like Dame has cut out the dribble for 10 seconds and then throw up a 30ft shot (with 10+ seconds left on the clock), without anyone even touching the ball. At least for the last 2 games....
