Damian Lillard in February: 30/4/7 and a 9-2 record for the Blazers

[ahomeplateslugger]

i really like this blazers team and the back court of lillard and mccollum.

they remind me too much of the clippers tho...talented team who is always one of the best in the west but always come up short. even when they had players like aldridge, roy, batum and matthews.

This team has never been amongst the elite in the west as injuries have always stifled their progress. The fact that this team overcame key injury after key injury to remain a playoff team and is overcoming the loss of three of the guys you listed in one offseason to be right in the thick of the playoffs race is amazing. Certainly not comparable to a squad that blew a 3-1 lead up 19 in the 4th.

Kyrie just had a similar stretch of games averaging 27 ppg on 19 shots/56% shooting, 6 assists and 1.8 turnovers. Lillard put up 30 ppg on 21 shots/55% shooting, 7 assists and 2.9 turnovers.

U think Kyrie is better?

 

[Lucky Millionaire]

You gotta respect what he (and Mccollum) has been doing ever since Portland got cleaned out

fukk LaMarcus

LaMarcus is on a better team tho

U think Kyrie is better?

Yes, even despite Lillard playing some of his best ball over the past month. Kyrie has proven to be the better player up to the start of this season, throughout their respective careers. One month isn't going to change that, especially since he's been inconsistent for most of the season.

Kyrie has the benefit of playing next to one of the GOAT's. Let me know when Kyrie leads a team to a winning record where he's far and away the best player on the team, because before Lebron came back home Cleveland was consistently pure garbage when he ran the show.

I still remember the year him and that squad were supposed to "make the leap" and they somehow managed to get worse.

There's no significant difference between them - they're both tier 2 PGs. Plus Kyrie's the more efficient jump shooter.

He playing second fiddle tho

Who is tier 1

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Who is tier 1

Curry, Westbrook and CP (well Paul is more like in between tier 1 and tier 2).
