Where does Lillard rank among NBA Pgs?

[Natebishop3]

You know who played four years of college? Steve Nash.

You know who else? Gary Payton.

One more? Brandon Roy.

 

[OSUblazers]

And Irving basically went from playing high schoolers to nba-ers with no offseason
Rubio played minimal minutes in the euro league and jumped in with no offseason

 

[Natebishop3]

Who would you rather have?
LMA, batum, and Wes or Tristan Thompson, anderson varejao, and Alonzo gee

What does that have to do with anything? If anything that hurts your argument. Lillard put up 27 on a night when Aldridge scored 29 and Batum scored 35. Do you mean to tell me that Irving, who is averaging 24 ppg this season, could do that much scoring with two other 20 ppg scorers on offense?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Idk
Rubio made this roster a playoff team with no offseason, their was absolutely no help on the wings


Kevin love
Nikola pekovic
Jj barea
Luke ridnour
Michael Beasley
Martell Webster
Wesley Johnson
Derrick Williams
Darko milicic
Brad miller
Anthony tolliver
Malcolm lee

If we make the playoffs this year and dame was a big reason then yeah dame>rubio

Sorry. Let me know when rubio shoots better than 36% from the field and has a PER higher than 15.

After looking at those stats i misspoke earlier. Lillard>>>Rubio seems more appropriate

 

[OSUblazers]

You know who played four years of college? Steve Nash.

You know who else? Gary Payton.

One more? Brandon Roy.

Never said players that play four years of college suck
I'm implying that of two guys of pretty equal talent, I'd take the 20 year old over the 23 year old

 

[BlazerCaravan]

And Irving basically went from playing high schoolers to nba-ers with no offseason
Rubio played minimal minutes in the euro league and jumped in with no offseason

If they're better, they're better; I'm ostensibly an adult and can handle the news that my guy isn't t3h b3st. But I'm not swayed by the 4-year argument meaning his ceiling is low.

 

[KingSpeed]

You know who played four years of college? Steve Nash.

You know who else? Gary Payton.

One more? Brandon Roy.

I think Nash played three years.

Scratch that. 4

 

[Natebishop3]

But we don't know if they're equal. It's been NINE games.

Rubio could go 0/6 and have a bigger impact on the game than most point guards
People look at shot blocking but perimeter defense is so underrated and Rubio is top 5 in the league at keeping his guy in front of him
He's also the 3rd best passer in the league behind Nash and rondo
Rubios impact is way bigger than what the stats show
Watch the games before you pass judgements

Right now, Rubio's going 0/0 a lot.

You're right, kyries better

But he can't stay healthy...

 

[OSUblazers]

Right now, Rubio's going 0/0 a lot.

And the timberwolves have a better record than us
So my point still stands :box:

 

[Natebishop3]

I should hope so. He already has a year in the league under his belt.

So, by not playing, Rubio is helping his team?

 

[KingSpeed]

Idk
Rubio made this roster a playoff team

No. He didn't

He also shared PG duties heavily with Ridnour. Didn't even handle the task by himself like Lillard is.

 

[OSUblazers]

But he can't stay healthy...

Dude tore his ACL after playing like 40 straight games and you're saying he can't stay healthy?

lol.

Hit a nerve mr. Kfan rubechat 'invader?'

 

[Natebishop3]

Whatever, this is a stupid argument at this stage of the season. Lillard is a good player, we're lucky to have him, and he's putting up really good numbers for a rookie. I don't care about Kyrie Irving or Rubio because neither of those players are on our team.

 

[OSUblazers]

No. He didn't

They were the eighth seed and on the upswing when he tore his ACL

 

[Natebishop3]

Dohkay

You know who you sound like? All the Oden fans that were in denial. It only took three straight MF surgeries before they finally figured out that he couldn't stay healthy.

 

[OSUblazers]

So, by not playing, Rubio is helping his team?

Tis a joke
But if he was playing they would probably have one or 2 losses

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Sure.

I have an idea: to make it fair, every point guard in the NBA should have to play two games for the Blazers, and we can compare them then.

 

[KingSpeed]

They were the eighth seed and on the upswing when he tore his ACL

No. They weren't. They were for one sec before that but you can't say that because it was only 40 games. Need a full season against all the teams to make playoffs. If you want to go by 40 games, then Felton took us to the playoffs too, lol.

 

[OSUblazers]

You know who you sound like? All the Oden fans that were in denial. It only took three straight MF surgeries before they finally figured out that he couldn't stay healthy.

You're comparing a 7 footer who was always injured in college to a point guard who didn't have any problems in the pros going back to when he was 14. Yikes that's a reach.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Your logic is similar to thinking a guy that scores two points in 1 minutr could score 80 points in 40 Minutes if they just gave him a chance. Total fail. Anything could have happened and the twolves easily could have missed the playoffs with a healthy rubio. That 36% fg shooting and PER of less than 15 is awesome!

 

[Natebishop3]

No. They weren't. They were for one sec before that but you can't say that because it was only 40 games. Need a full season against all the teams to make playoffs. If you want to go by 40 games, then Felton took us to the playoffs too, lol.

He'll never get a full season because Rubio can't stay healthy

With Ricky they were absolutely a playoff team
Go look at the twolves record when he started for them
They were a lot better last year than us this year

So how long before you start posting pictures of Oden's dong?

I like how you came up with "OSUBlazers" that was a nice touch. Really convincing.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yes. They were also a much better roster. We have three great players, two good players, two promising projects, and 8 mouth-breathers. Minnesota's roster had half the mouth-breathers we have now, and that does make a difference.
