The myth of Lillard Time

[Orion Bailey]

So let me get this straight.... you post this video and you automatically get "likes."

I'm going to start including this video in all my posts.

I was gonna like this post... but then I realized there was no video attached...

Its a different situation tho... tie game with 13 secs you have time to work for a shot .9 seconds you dont... Ill say it again its not his mental make up or his ability it's the shot selection and that he has shown himself to be very predictable in late game situations. He tries to hit homeruns every single time it makes it very easy for opposing teams to gameplan against and take away.

So I take it you didn't watch the 4th quarter of the Pelicans game then. When Lillard hit CJ wide open for three?




This thread was created to bash Lillard when it was an obvious coaching decision to put Lillard in that 1-4 iso situation, out of that timeout in the Mavs game.
Lillard's fault was taking a fadeaway 3 at the buzzer. But not the situation of being put in a 1-4 iso situation and asked to create/take a shot at the buzzer.
Yes he could have got a better shot, but he did exactly what coaching asked him to do. aka play hero ball.

Did you even read the first post when I called for Terry to not give Dame that much leeway? Jeez. I created this to point out how shitty Dame's percentages were. Not bashing Lillard or anything. Wouldn't be on this forum and have 20k posts if I didn't like Dame, et al. smh.

Holy shit. The soccer moms man.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Il post this here too because its the same topic of discussion really.

I fail to understand how you can post such negativity but get all bent out of shape when the negativity gets turned back onto you?

I am not the only one who feels this way.


"Yayuza, his point is not that its irrational or whether you are correct or not. His point is amidst all the positives going on, why focus on the few negatives right now?

This was kinda my point too. Your bringing the forum down by only picking out the negatives... Try to be more positive or find more positive topics to discuss within the negative and you will get better responses.

I'm not trying to argue, or even continue the conflict. Just trying to help YOU understand how some others feel about the constant negativity, just as you and some others made a point to let me know how annoying I can be.

I'm not the only one who feels this way, as has been pointed out by likes and others' comments. You are also not the only one who feels the same way about me (though I was this way purposefully).

You say this place has gotten shitty because you feel you cant post your opinion. You certainly can, but what makes this place shitty is not being able to respond to your post in kind without you thinking this place has gotten shitty.

I hope you see that, and with that said, I don't think I can express it any clearer for a better understanding, so I will eave it at that and move on.
I seriously meant no ill will or personal issues with you, or anyone else... Just trying to prove a point about how annoying all the negative comments can be amidst such a successful season.. Again.. I hope your level headed enough to see that."

Your not allowed to question Lillard here trust me I know

 

[Strenuus]

Two things:

You're.

And you were proven wrong, trust me I saw.

Here are a few ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and ...................

I have plenty and I would hate for you to go without. I'm always trying to give to those in need.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Okay ladies and gentlemen!!!!

Dame is going to be our hero. He is going to go lights out tonight. He is NOT going to take the game winning shot, because there wont be one... we will have a double digit lead by end of game.

I do feel like Dame is eating himself up on that shot more than he lets on, and I expect him to come out and just kill it so that we can all be one big happy family for a day or two.

My fault Didn't know all the sudden we were competing for grammar

Anyone else confused about the "Soccer Moms" thing? Is anyone here a soccer mom? Is it supposed to be some kind of an insult?

 

[BonesJones]

Hes still one of the clutchest players in the league hes just gotten too confident imo. Hes had so much success in crunch time that he thinks he can hit any shot so he settles.

He meant it as everybody here is super bias and take everything to heart like soccer moms do

 

[BonesJones]

Problem is that is the ONE thing you do in this board... You don't talk about anything else except Vonleh being trash... When people call you out you have no response and when Lillard plays well you disappear. That's why some people think you're a hater.

 

[Strenuus]

Well, since you lumped everyone in.

That makes you a soccer mom.

Way to go.

Saying for Stotts to not give leeway isn't saying. "don't put Lillard in a 1-4 iso situation to me"
Maybe you should be more clear with your posts? instead of insulting someone who said.

This thread was created to bash Lillard when it was an obvious coaching decision to put Lillard in that 1-4 iso situation, out of that timeout in the Mavs game.
Lillard's fault was taking a fadeaway 3 at the buzzer. But not the situation of being put in a 1-4 iso situation and asked to create/take a shot at the buzzer.
Yes he could have got a better shot, but he did exactly what coaching asked him to do. aka play hero ball.

Also see thread title, I don't disagree with you if you read my posts. I just disagree with your thread title. aka why I said it's meant to bash Lillard.
You're not the first person to say putting a player in a 1-4 iso poor coaching. But it's one of the things that is all on the coach. Players have very little to do with being put in a poor position to succeed by being 1-4 iso'd.
It's one of the reasons why Scott Brooks got fired.

Anyone else confused about the "Soccer Moms" thing? Is anyone here a soccer mom? Is it supposed to be some kind of an insult?

Yes it's supposed to be an insult, but I personally choose to ignore it because it's not worth my time responding to.
Just like I ignored his 20k post comment.
& both of the comments offer nothing to a basketball conversation.

 

[BonesJones]

Any die hard fan can be considered a soccer mom.

Of course were going to like and defend our own players more.

I don't really see the point...

That's not true

 

[Daweez04]

Oh Sweet. Well, ya know what they say, the insults you have to explain are always the best.

 

[H.C.]

That's not true

So you gave Vonleh credit when he took AD to the rack the other night, finished and drew the foul?
You saw him show a flash right? And you mentioned it?
Or were you no-where to be found.

 

[ripcityboy]

I think he's just been set up to do too much. He's been asked to carry the load and not deferring to other player in the clutch may have cost us a few games.
But if Stotts isn't catching this then that's a problem.

"You mean flashlight? Yes, Vonleh looks like a deer in the flashlights"

I love people who come on here, go out of their way to provoke a reaction, then get butt hurt over the reaction they worked so hard to provoke.

How DARE you?!? Are you insinuating that I'm trolling? I don't have to take this from YOU! I'm out of here *stamps foot*

 

[KingSpeed]

Is it mentioned anywhere in this thread that Dame hit the game tying shot in that game? That was one of the most clutchest teardrop I've ever seen. Off glass, no less.

 

[Natebishop3]

The dude almost single handedly won us the game last night. First he made a layup and then he hit that three. The Clips were just stupid lucky with those threes from Crawford.
