Lillard's tier

[julius]

It's been years since I joined, Check my IP, check all you want, I have nothing to hide, I'm not a double account or another former user who's trying to act like another.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only Italian fan posting here.

Why is it always someone with a clear and obvious bias that complains about the inability to have a reasonable "unbiased" conversation with people who don't agree with them?

Because here there are only Blazers fans, it's not like I'm posting in the general board of RealGM.

Blazers edge and Blazers fans in general are known for be pretty biased, even on the national stage.

C'mon guys, if it wasn't so clear how could I see that from Italy????

 

[BonesJones]

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.

You have Bledsoe above Lillard? Jeez dude.

Gimme a fucking break. You made (another) thread, asking for people's ranking, with no desire to discuss their opinions, just to complain about how gasp! Blazer fans like Blazer players! You have your bias against Lillard, and created a thread to call others out on their positive bias.

Damn, you really didn't understand his point at all.

Every fanbase is biased.

 

[Portland2014]

Every fanbase is biased you moron.

Every fan base is biased and then there's the Blazers fans base who takes this to another level and national writers knows it well.

 

[BonesJones]

If Lillard shot is not falling "it's just a shooting slump" "it's just 5 games"

If Lillard defense looks better it doesn't matter if are only 5 games.

I mean, there's no ending to this, it's just unrealistic to have an unbiased conversation with Blazers fans from Portland and you can see national media make fun of that from The Ringer, Zach Lowe etc etc

I still think that the absence of an Nfl, Nhl or Mlb team makes impossible to Blazers fans to be unbiased, they're just overprotective of their only show in town.

Do you understand basketball at all?

For fucks sake, shooting is a much more volatile variable than defense effort. You can't have full control of how many shots fall, but you can always control effort. So a 6-game sample size of Lillard giving a new level of effort is more telling than 6 games with which he doesnt shoot a great percentage.

Somehow, miraculously, I feel like you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Not even close. Ever seen ClutchFans?

Ok, let's assume that's true. So what?

That forum is constantly on the verge of a psychotic breakdown.

 

[BonesJones]

"I'm right because everybody who disagrees with me is biased" lmao.

 

[julius]

I love the "Portland" fans who know how biased Portland fans are and dislike their best players. Those are the realist Blazer fans of all time.

 

[Sinobas]

You have Bledsoe above Lillard? Jeez dude.

Defense.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Defense.

He completely shut down Earl Watson recently.

 

[BonesJones]

Defense.

Then why is Irving and Thomas in that list? Lillard is a better defender than both. Quit hatin'.

 

[jonnyboy]

Is this guy going to start a shitty negative thread bashing our team every time we don't blow someone out? Its pretty obvious to me he's just begging for attention, even if it's negative. I understand constructive criticism but do we really need a new thread every time this guy gets a pinecone up his ass? What is the motive here? To get us all out in front of the arena with "Fire Lillard" pickett signs? Nobody wants to hop on your butthurt bandwagon.

Honest question: If this is your belief, then why did you start a thread asking us? It's only your fault and your punishment. Not our fault you knew what the results would be and still asked the question. Don't bitch about it now.

 

[Strenuus]

Every fan base is biased and then there's the Blazers, rockets, lakers, bucks, wizards, thunder, etc. etc. etc. fans base who takes this to another level and national writers knows it well.

Fixed that so your post doesn't sound so dumb and uninformed.

 

[Strenuus]

Also, I'll give you a tip: Your reputation is set. If you want to be known as only a guy that comes up when the team sucks or when we do too well and you want to rain on your parade, then do that. But don't be surprised when people don't take your "lets have a chat about Lillard" threads as attempts to troll.

Crying wolf, and all that.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

I know I’m new here but even I think there should be a rule that posters need 1,000 posts before they can start threads... to weed out troll accounts.

Dude he has a legitimate point. Listen to what folks like @Sinobas is saying man. The chucking Lillard does and his terrible 2pt fg% is doing harm than you think.

Lillard is still a good player but he’s nothing like ya make him

 

[SlyPokerDog]

"two" posters who joined a day within each other, and both coincidentally have anti Lillard tendencies.

Strange.

It has more to do with when the Blazers were retweeting our forum twitter account. That gets the forum attention and new users.

I guess a lot of people hate-follow the Blazers twitter account.

 

[Trackjack]

You ask for people for there opinion and they have gave them now if you don't like there opinion don't ask. One thing I have learn about the people in here is that there very strong minded and they will voice it very loudly. So my opinion I know is when he face this other guards head to head he has either beat them or play even with them. So he is right there with the top level point guards in this league.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Interesting info: he’s shooting fewer long distance shots and more in close shots than ever before... he’s just not getting the additional free throw attempts to go with it which makes his FG% look bad.

Now you've given me a reason to hate the Trail Blazers.

 

[THE HCP]

What really bother me is that, I can't have an honest discussion about my team with you because nobody can judge our team like it is.

Fuck are you talking about? What does this collection of words even mean bro?

 

[THE HCP]

Conley, for example, doesn't rap, doesn't have a signature shoe and he's not "cool" but he was clearly better than Lillard in all of the past playoffs, people here ignore that, I don't know if it's only a biased judgement or simply people of Portland don't watch other teams.

PLEASE show me somebody with ANY amount of basketball knowledge that has Conley ahead of Dame!

 

[THE HCP]

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.

I don't know what is worse.... the fact that you as a breathing human being with a pulse would take half those guys over Dame or that you got 2 with a T people to agree with you and actually LIKE this.
