because he missed 10 in a row doesnt mean he wont make 5 out of the next ten

players stop shooting because they get embarrassed and dont want to put up 1-18 or whatever, but as long as it felt good coming out theres no reason to think he was going to keep missing
 
The Rube chat fuckers have hacked Fez's S2 account! I'm going to suspend his account for 24hrs so the trolls can't further tarnish Fez's good name.

You guys are so butthurt! I fail to see how I made anything up to piss off the board.

I'm pointing out that he should have STOPPED shooting after he was at the 0-10 mark. He was hurting the team.

By continuing to shoot he set an NBA record by a rookie to shoot at least 10 FGA in a game.

The worst shooting performance for a rookie ever.

The coach is partly to blame as well.

Butthurt? Hardly.

Who the fuck else was going to take those shots? Smith, Price ... Barton? I'm sure if Stotts had another option on his bench he might have gone to him, but this is it, "we gotta dance with the girl what brung ya." And it's not like he got tunnel vision and refused to pass the ball, he distributed the ball pretty nicely. He just couldn't hit a shot ... and being the only player on the team that can consistently get his own, it was absolutely his job to take 'em.
 
Lillard isn't even good enough to win Rookie of the Month during the shortest month of the year.
 
Kid goes 1-16 and he is still a better option than anybody on the bench.

That is just tragic. Wake me up when this team hires a real GM.
 
Bring back Bob before the Sonics hire him!
 
Who cares how badly he shot.... he had 12 dimes. I think the 12 dimes counters the shitty shooting.
 
Disappointed in Lillard.
He totally mailed it in.

What to do when your shots not falling?
Jeez I don't know - how about trying to penetrate to get to the line?
Naah I'll just keep jacking up long shots.

Or, you know, hand out 12 assists...
 
I'm ok with 1991 Tim Hardaway and 2002 Jason Kidd being my PG's comps on his worst day yet...

Lovely, a guy misses a bunch of shots and suddenly it's a flaw in his character.

After 10 straight misses, he should have stopped shooting unless he absolutely had to at the end of the clock.

A learning experience, but an embarrassing one for sure.

Disagree. Gotta keep shooting. By the way, wasn't 12 his career high in assists? That's what stars do when they're having an off shooting night. They find other ways to contribute and make their teammates better. In one of Pippen's legendary great performances, he controlled a game despite only scoring 4 points.

Info:
Scoring only four points, Scottie Pippen dominated Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals against Indiana with his defense on Pacers point guard Mark Jackson, who turned the ball over seven times in an 85-79 Bulls victory. Pippen struggled from the field, but dished out seven assists, grabbed seven boards and added four steals.
 
Lillard completely destroyed his trade value last night. We're so fucked!

I bet we could still get Rubio for him straight up, getherdone Neil!

Come on, this Rubio card we play was revoked last night. As long as Lillard holds the all-time worst shooting performance for a rookie in a game, no more shots at Rubio!

No way! Bricky is a pinata, and you know Lillard will prove that was an anomaly.

No it wasn't. What a ridiculous thing to say. One bad shooting game doesn't make someone a bad shooter. It's a slump. It happens to all shooters, good and bad.

Bricky just had his two highest scoring games of the entire season and raised his FG% all the way up to .340, the highest it's been all season. Lillard just had the worst shooting game ever by an NBA rookie and his FG% plummeted all the way down to .419, the lowest it's been since opening night. Sorry, we still get to play the Bricky card - at lest until Rubio shoots better than Lillard for an entire season.

Oh, and least you forget:

In games Rubio has played, Minnesota is 5-18. Rubio is currently play is "best" ball of the season, but his team has lost 11 of their last 12. So much for making his teammates better.

Rubio deserves the criticism and Lillard deserves the accolades. One game doesn't change that.

BTW, Anthony Davis was 0-7 tonight. That's it, the guy's an absolute bust, because rookies that are any good NEVER have off shooting nights. Maybe if they're lucky, they can trade him to the Timberwolves for Pekovic. And then, we could dump Lillard on them for Rubio, the game changer who would lead us to 50 wins.

I've seen a lot of good/great players have shooting performances like that.

Clyde 1-16 is a good example. Not really concerned. In fact, I bet Lillard's next game might be the best of his young career because thats just how he is.

Pretty close.
 
Lillard made this thread look stupid tonight. Talk about an overreaction.

Context, douche.

Re-read the thread -- I talked about the Orlando game.

And you know what started his scoring spree in MIA? What I said he should have done in Orlando when his shot wasn't falling -- ATTACK THE RIM.

Btw, this game didn't change that he shot an NBA record by a rookie with 10+FGA. So, your point? :lol:
