Lillard's tier

[julius]

Some of us are correct about so little, we have to take whatever we can get.

Guilty as charged...

Threads like this are useless. If someone says anything but tier 1 or MAYBE tier 2, they'll be labeled a troll

Not a troll. Just utterly ignorant.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Amazing what happens after losses. Wonder why people like that come to a Blazer "fan" forum.

Join the rest of us who also wonder.

Hey. At least tag me if you are gonna talk S*** abut me.

and Lillard dominates Westbrook.

Does he? Curious what there head to head matchup stats are.

How sad for you guys.

Does he? Curious what there head to head matchup stats are.

This year:

Dame has scored 80 points on 55 FGA, or 1.45 pts/FGA
Russ has scored 78 points on 76 FGA, or 1.03 pts/FGA

Dame is almost 50% more efficient.

But the only stat that really matters is Dame is 3-0 this year against Russ and 6-1 against him over the past two seasons.

And that doesn't include the January 9 game in OKC when Dame didn't play, but Shabazz Napier (21 points on 10 FGA) out played Russel Westbrook (22 points on 20 FGA) in Portland's 11-point victory.

I know you're a fanboi and impressed with all of his (meaningless) triple doubles, but I'd be a hell of a lot more impressed if it actually helped his team win.

Do you think anyone who isn't a troll would consider Lillard a third tier point guard?

What matter more, stats or wins? The answer might explain your affinity for Russ.

Overall, 11-8 record for Lillard. More impressive? Take away Lillard's rookie year and Lillard is 11-4 against Westbrook head to head.

I only brought this up because I saw that he said he was DOMINATED by Dame. Thanks for the numbers.

Depends on the tiers

 

[kjironman1]

Depends on the tiers

I was thinking the same thing. Some seem to be getting "Tier" and "String" confused.
If he tier has two PG's in it. Then 3rd Tier would be 5th or 6th best in the league. If it has 5 PG's in it then we are talking out of the top 10. Big difference.

Domination isn't just in numbers. Watching the game and seeing Westbrook meltdown time and time again against us tells me that Lillard is in his head. I'll take a phrase out of your page with a slight modification.

WE FUCKING WON THE GAMES

Which is a bullshit way of weaseling your way into getting to say Lillard is Third Tier.

So let's establish what the tier is, then.

30 teams, how about 10% slices... three PG's per tier. Pick six active point guards you'd rather have than Dame.

He is a top 5 point guard this year and the proof is in the MVP rankings as he is typically one or two in the MVP race for point guards.

Great

 

[CupWizier]

Great

Glad you agree.

 

[dviss1]

Last 12 games:
39% FG%
28% 3FG%

And we were 8-4 in those games even with Dame shooting below his averages.

Where were you when it was time to celebrate those wins?? Ohhh that's right... On the forum of YOUR team probably... Kindly GTFO of here...

Damnnnnn... that was a soul toucher...

I Love Dame so much

I Love him so much i can Imagine beeing gay if Dame would be my boyfriend

 

[Orion Bailey]

23 wins! FAMS

 

[Mediocre Man]

Glad you agree.

Glad we have have another poster who puts words in people's mouths.

If it has been happening to you often then maybe it is your lack of clarity. Why did you say "great'?

To end this asinine conversation. Didn't work

My bad, I thought he said Dame dominated Westbrook head to head.

 

[tykendo]

Westbrook, Curry, Paul, Wall, Irving, Lowry, Thomas, Irving, Conley, Dragic, Bledsoe. Right now, Dame is not even a top 10 PG, but more of a chucker. He can play better though.[/Q Asinine

 

[tykendo]

It's laughable to say he's not top 10 as a PG, when he's top 10 as a player right now. EVERY player has ups and downs. Harden has had awful games in his MVP season. Paul was awful the other night. He can dominate games. Teams are doubling him, and game planning for him. He's hardly "just a chucker". That statement there is complete hogwash. He does make his teammates better(See Nurkic) for one. Look how much easier his teammates get open looks when he's on the floor. I think as Nurk gets better at scoring in the low post, Dame's assist numbers will rise as well. I wouldn't want anyone else to lead this team. His leadership qualities are unparalleled.
