So is Lillard garbage?

[KingSpeed]

2 points and 0 assists at halftime against a Rondo-less Celtics team. Ugh. How is he better than Nolan Smith?

If Rondo played, would Lillard have negative points?

Looks Like he plays to the level of competition , wish Rondo was playing!

Speaking of Rondo, what an idiot for missing the chance to pass John Stockton in the record for assists.

yeah when i think of great records "most consecutive games with 10 assists" is right there at the top of the list. I definitely knew all about it a month ago. there are things in life you'll never forget. for me they are, the OJ verdict, Sept 11, Obama being elected and seeing Rondo tie Stockton for 2nd place in this very meaningful statistic.

When they look back at the annals of history they're going to be talking about three things..... discovery of fire, invention of the submarine, and the Flint Michigan Megabowl.

He's no Damon Stoudamire, that's for sure.

Damian Stoudamire?

Hitting the rookie wall in record time?
League has him figured out?
Hiding an injury?
Just isn't very good/doesn't give a fart?

 

[Blazinaway]

LOL, couple bad games after a stellar start, this board can be rather .......... so many choices

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He started sucking once Eric bought a Lillard jersey. Fucking jinx.

Is a Kingspeed thread really a meltdown though?

 

[Rhal]

Roy had a total of 3 points on those back to back games. He must have been garbage and was never good too.

And went to the games

 

[Natebishop3]

And went to the games

So let it be said, so let it be known: Eric is no longer allowed to go to games.....

Or if we're tanking..

let's send him to all the games!

I still haven't decided which we should do! :MARIS61:

Might be the single stupidest thread I have ever seen in the Blazer section.

That's because it's disingenuous.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'm going to go on a limb and say no.

Lillard is valuable asset for Blazers

Damian Lillard came out of a school not known for basketball greatness in Weber State. Prior to Lillard, no player out of Weber had ever averaged over 6.5 PPG or 1.7 APG in their NBA career. Lillard, through 16 games, is averaging 18.4 PPG and 5.9 APG for the Portland Trail Blazers.

...

So far in his career, Lillard has proven to be a better scorer than either Payton or Kidd were as rookies – averaging nearly 10 more points per game 16 games into his career.

...

If Lillard continues this pace as an impressive scoring point guard, he’ll quickly join the conversation as one of the top young floor generals in the league. Mike Conley is the only point guard averaging at least 15 points and five assists per game with a higher 3-point percentage this season than Lillard.

It’s been a while since Portland has had a point guard like Lillard. The last time a Trail Blazer averaged 15 points and five assists while shooting 40 percent from 3-point land? Terry Porter in 1992-93.

You've invalidated any basketball knowledge you had with that statement. Nolan Smith? He might be the worst player on an NBA roster...

 

[Blazinaway]

Threads like this should be eradicated, how idiotic

 

[Natebishop3]

It amazes me how you guys don't know Kingspeed's schtick by now.

This is the guy who swore that Yi was going to be a star. This is the guy who proclaims "season over" pretty much every year after only ten or so games. This is the guy who has publicly admitted to trolling. You can't take anything he says seriously.

why don't we just take it off the page since it's a waste of space and just plain stupid?

And here I was told there was intelligent discussions in this forum.

its a joke, and a highly intellectual one at that, it plays on the juxtaposition between reality and the perceived, viewed through the minds eye of a 6th stage syphilitic bleeding brain wound

if you dont get it, you never will

My statement was a fact and then I posed a question which still, no one has answered. How is he better than Nolan Smith? I guess I'll have to answer. He has a better handle than Nolan Smith and he is more calm and controlled. He can get his own shot with a little more ease than Nolan. And he is a much better shooter than Nolan. Lillard is perhaps the best shooting point guard in the game today. So finally, is Lillard garbage? No. He is a diamond in the rough and I'm glad he's on our team.
