Playing with a 20/10 front court man was a big part of that. Cant just paint the picture that Lillard was willing those teams to the playoffs solo.
True, but he still took the blazers to the playoffs afterward. Yeah he has CJ but the rest of the team is not good.

I love watching both players. Think Kyrie is more talented, but a lot of y'all are sleeping on Dame in here.

As others have said I'm taking Dame also...Kyrie doesn't run the offense as well. Also Dame has done a better job as the #1 option.

Both garbage defensively tho.
Dame wasn't the number one option until he was 25 so come with a different argument. Kyrie was the number one at 19 after playing 12 college games coming to the worst team in the NBA a team that set the record for most loses in a row.

Also I think it's a pick em.

That's even worse for Kyrie...he had more experience early as a 1 option & their skill level isn't that far apart.

So Dame is on the same tier as a scorer, a better rebounder, passer, defender, more durable, better leader, and outplays Kyrie head-to-head

:mjpls:

Dame Lillard is about to show out again in the playoffs, Kyrie can't even stay healthy. No comparison really. Give me the guy who's always available to play.
Another 2nd round exit...if he's lucky

Show out how? With the exception of the year they beat Houston, his numbers have consistently regressed in the playoffs. If CP3 & Blake Griffin didn’t both get hurt in 2016 he’d currently be on 3 straight years of 1st round exits.

But this is the Coli so narratives will always dominate :ehh:

Funny how the guy who can't stay healthy is still significantly more accomplished. Not to mention puts up better numbers more efficiently, and plays even better under the bright lights.
