You're right, that is laughable. Every coach Lillard ever had spent extra time trying to figure out which player on the other team sucks at offense the worst so that he could assign Lillard to him. He has great stats right now because the Phoenix guards were so open on the perimeter, they just starting throwing up shots and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. They went 6 for 32 from three. Giving Lillard credit for that is an absolute joke.

It's just funny though because he's our second-leading scorer, he's shooting 40% from 3, he's leading in +/-, making tons of room for Deni, AND he's statistically our most meaningful defender. You just wouldn't believe all this were possible it if you only believed certain things.

You two haven't found a room yet?

lol I don't even contribute to this thread, but somehow I'm sucked in to watch these two go back and forth.

Well the consensus among everyone on this forum is we have the 76th-best NBA player of all time and I'd say that's worth talking about!

[Phalanx]

ah, I thought he was talking about Pez and Lillard. I'm sure that Dame would want to reward such a doting fan somehow.

Same here. I often think about chiming in, but usually one of them beats me to the punch.

Lol. It's 2 games.

Scoot having a rough night, dang. Meanwhile, Ja is unbelievable. He just blew past the entire Laker team for that lay-in. He gets better every game.

[Phalanx]

Deni just got his 4th foul in the first half. Not sure why he was in, but these refs took advantage.

[bellsduck]

Ja looking real nice.

[pezsez1]

I love watching this team!

Before the season, I talked about how much Deni would benefit from the improved floor spacing with Dame and Ja in the mix. I was wrong. The answer is Toumani. Now that he's shooting open shots he's hitting at such a nice clip. I know this is only the third game, but he just looks solid out there.

[Boom]

Rough Scoot game. His TOs and fouls have been awful.

God damn, this is fun.
