All without LeBron too. @Regular_P @Serious, none of that let me pad my stats by scoring 20 points against the bench en route to 50-pt game either:troll:

I remember. I'm also completely of aware what Dame is doing now with the Blazers and I have a hard time buying Kyrie would be able to do the same for an entire season. It's impossible to know considering their current situations, but I don't really got any reason to take Kyrie>dame right now. What Kyrie does in the playoffs could change my mind though. :yeshrug:

We all know when Lillard's team loses four starters they'll still be in the playoffs. :manny:
We also know that the T'Blazers have a better win percentage without Lillard this season
We also know that Lillard's supporting cast (and McCollum who has nearly the same amount of impact) is a lot better than the trash Kyrie played with prior to last season - I mean what the hell would Lillard do when his two best players are Dion Waiters and CJ Miles with Mr. Potato head and Byron Scott as head coaches?

You not gonna convince us Kyrie is as good as Lillard. Lillard is just better. He knows how to play PG, Irving knows how to score and dribble. Lillard is an elite PnR player. Kyrie is great at iso scoring. Kyrie isn't great b, he's just pretty good.

Dame is playing some great basketball post-ASB, but for the majority of the season he's been pretty inconsistent (he's been shooting 41%/42% for most of the season) and less than stellar on the defensive end (no better than Kyrie has). Their production per minutes this season has been basically identical (without mentioning that Kyrie has been the more efficient scorer), even taking into account that Kyrie has been injured and has had to adjust back to gameplay.

You're incapable of having a reasonable conversation when it comes to Lillard/Kyrie, especially since you kept ducking me when Kyrie was playing better than him last season. Neither are great players just yet, they're both still tier 2 PGs.

I agree that Kyrie was more productive last year but I still felt like Lillard was the better player. Now I just feel like he's the better player and the one who is far more productive.
