I disagree with that. Kyrie has improved a lot defensively in the past two years. He's better than Lillard and not much worse than Westbrook.Not sure about Kyrie v Westbrook comparison. Both are toxic in a way, Westbrook is a far better defender and playmaker, Kyrie is streets ahead as a scorer.
People on Facebook Ringer site were trying to compare Dame with Kyrie recently, it was basically 60/40 towards Dame. I don’t think it’s particularly close when you consider Dame’s leadership and character.
Stotts is a gif worthyDame was 5 for 5 in the series from 30+ feet.
Also, i need a still shot of the announcers/clock table as Stotts walks by![]()
The people at the table are the real show though. You have two announcers completely losing it, a woman just sitting back with a disbelieving smile on her face and two guys with their faces into the tableStotts is a gif worthy
Lillard opened a series with 30+feet shot in the 1st game. And then closed it.
Need to find that.Stotts is a gif worthy

It is from Jalen Rose today. I forgot it even as I watched that game 1Need to find that.
Aye, he is the king of meaningless triple doubles.... what a clown he istriple double from Russ![]()
Next to Curry, he is the one player in NBA who makes quite often those types of shots.He isn't wrong, lillard has a 2 in 8 record from 35+ feet.
The stats don't match that statement, its confirmation bias.Next to Curry, he is the one player in NBA who makes quite often those types of shots.
He isn’t better defensively than Dame. Dame is very underrated in that aspect.I disagree with that. Kyrie has improved a lot defensively in the past two years. He's better than Lillard and not much worse than Westbrook.
He's a better player than Russ and has been for a while. I said it over a year ago.
Thought he has like 8-12 in the seriesHe isn't wrong, lillard has a 2 in 8 record from 35+ feet.
Yet he shot 4 out of 6 of them last night if I’m not mistaken, and 8 out of 12 in the series.He isn't wrong, lillard has a 2 in 8 record from 35+ feet.
And... this seasonYet he shot 4 out of 6 of them last night if I’m not mistaken, and 8 out of 12 in the series.
While the league average success rate for shots from 30-40 feet is only 25.9%, Lillard sinks 39.2% of his shots from that range.
He’s 34% from 30-35 feet I think. That’s very good.The stats don't match that statement, its confirmation bias.
So even better.And... this season

The shot was from 37 feet, including the 30 to 35 range introduces a bias in the data.And... this season
Yeah but this way he gets to feck with Westbrook and OKC. I say it's a push.It was a bad shot because there no value in scoring 3 compared to 2 or even to 1 like there is in the second quarter. If he makes that shot 35% of the time then it's only a good shot if they couldnt score 36% on any other play. They had a lot of time to get whatever shot they wanted.
No risk on losing the ball and OKC weren't trying hard to defend it. If Blazers were losing, he would have gone for a higher percentage shot IMO.It was a bad shot because there no value in scoring 3 compared to 2 or even to 1 like there is in the second quarter.

It was good as I thought they didn't expect it (after putting the 3 from the same place just minutes before). Going into the rim against George is a worse option as you will hardly get the call in dying seconds.Don't get me wrong. It was cold blooded, he planned and executed it perfectly but it was not a good percentage shot.
I agree that Russ and Lillard are about the same defensively but underrated?He isn’t better defensively than Dame. Dame is very underrated in that aspect.
Agree with this. It was the best way to ice the game imo.It was good as I thought they didn't expect it (after putting the 3 from the same place just minutes before). Going into the rim against George is a worse option as you will hardly get the call in dying seconds.
Paul just should swallow it as Damian was crazy the whole night. Bitter statement imo.
I understand this take and was wondering what the hell he was doing but as it has been mentioned, going to the rim with George defending could have been less than 35% in this situation.It was a bad shot because there no value in scoring 3 compared to 2 or even to 1 like there is in the second quarter. If he makes that shot 35% of the time then it's only a good shot if they couldnt score 36% on any other play. They had a lot of time to get whatever shot they wanted.
But you could have passed or ran a pick and roll or let CJ try something. The odds of Portland scoring on a given possession are greater than 35%, therefore a 35% shot is a bad shot.I understand this take and was wondering what the hell he was doing but as it has been mentioned, going to the rim with George defending could have been less than 35% in this situation.
As long as it isn't Liverpool I will take itRaps to win it all.![]()
You're ignoring context. For Dame, there was no such as a bad shot in that game. And given how he's been shooting all series, that was in fact a pretty good shot. A clean look, in rhythmIt was a bad shot because there no value in scoring 3 compared to 2 or even to 1 like there is in the second quarter. If he makes that shot 35% of the time then it's only a good shot if they couldnt score 36% on any other play. They had a lot of time to get whatever shot they wanted.
What does this nonsense even mean? Points, rebounds and assists are meaningless? Okay then.Aye, he is the king of meaningless triple doubles.... what a clown he is
