I think Lillard is feeling the effects of the wall.

 

[illmatic99]

Jeez, Kyrie.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think Lillard is feeling the effects of the wall.

John Wall?

 

[Natebishop3]

I think Lillard is feeling the effects of the wall.

Oh I've seen it for a few weeks now. He just looks tired to me.

 

[julius]

dangit, wish he had made the dunk.

 

[Darkwebs]

dangit, wish he had made the dunk.

Didn't Roy also miss a dunk in the Rookie-Sophmore game?

 

[MickZagger]

He hasn't had the same confidence when he shoots. Not the same as when the season started, where almost everything was going in.

Oh, you missed the Miami game?

 

[Darkwebs]

Lillard. Hahaha

 

[THE HCP]

You just see that! Dame tweaked something on that dunk attempt!

 

[THE HCP]

Lillard. Hahaha

He was limping right after.

 

[Natebishop3]

Oh, you missed the Miami game?

Sure, he's had some really great games, but he's also shooting a pretty poor percentage right now. Would you attribute that to fatigue or confidence?

 

[Darkwebs]

Faried needs to save some for tomorrow night

 

[Natebishop3]

Didn't Roy also miss a dunk in the Rookie-Sophmore game?

That was in the All-Star game.

 

[KingSpeed]

Didn't Roy also miss a dunk in the Rookie-Sophmore game?

No it was the All Star game. CP3 passed to him and Roy flew but missed.

 

[Darkwebs]

That was in the All-Star game.

I was talking about the time he tried to dunk over Sean Williams of the Nets

 

[julius]

I keep forgetting how much these games showcase things about basketball I dislike.

Although Rubio had a few nifty passes, and Lillard didn't play horrible. I think he just played decently.

I'd rather have him rest us and stay healthy. Hope he can regain some of the touch he had earlier in the year.

 

[MickZagger]

Sure, he's had some really great games, but he's also shooting a pretty poor percentage right now. Would you attribute that to fatigue or confidence?

Fatigue. He's playing more minutes than he did in college and instead of two games a week he's traveling all over playing 4 gamess a week. After 30 games a college your seasons usually done. That's what attributes to players hitting a 'rookie wall'.

 

[Sinobas]

Even in this no defense free for all game, Damian jacks up 10 3pt shots and only makes 2. Irving is a much better player, Damian is so over-rated right now. He's like a 6-2 Damon Stoudamire.

Oh, and fuck you Chad B for drafting Nolan Smith over Faried.

Are you honestly critiquing our player based on this game, or are you just bored?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

LOL get outta here with this shit.

 

[THE HCP]

Didn't that Faried guy almost play for us?

 

[Darkwebs]

No it was the All Star game. CP3 passed to him and Roy flew but missed.

where is the cock pictures!!


oh wait...

 

[Natebishop3]

The sophomores definitely dominated this one.

Faried 40 points
Irving 32 points
Leonard 20 points
Tristan Thompson 20 points
I Thomas 18 points

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Even Chris Webber doesn't know who James White is.. So many people are going to be shocked tomorrow night.

 

[Sinobas]

Not just based on this game, Damian is nothing but a jump shooter with mediocre PG skills and poor defense, just like Damon. Some people around here act as the Damian and Batum are all-star calibur players, but if we had 3 all stars we wouldn't be below .500.

Damian is shooting 42% from the field, and 35% from 3pt range. Damon's first year in the league, he shot 43 from the field and 40% from 3pt range, while averaging over 9 assists. People got all excited about his numbers till he game to a talented team and was exposed.

Damian is nothing more than a Damon Stoudamire quality player.

Dude come on.... Did you watch Damon play? The comparison is hilarious.

 

[THE HCP]

#Blazers G Damian Lillard says he turned his ankle a little bit on that dunk attempt. Says he doesn't feel it now. He's ok.

Whoever compares Dame to Damon is nutz!

That's good news. Hope he can go out and win tomorrow night in the Skills Challenge
