I respect the hell out of Damian Lillard. He'll take a back seat to noone, and he shines brightest when the pressure is on.
Wow, he was kinda speciall last nights. Swish after swish, great dishes, step backs, fadeaways, pullups, blowbys, he has the whole package.
Offensively he's my favorite PG in the league to watch. He's an extremely polished ball handler, shooter and passer. What makes him enjoyable to watch is how he paces the game isn't going full tilt alllll the time which most pg's today do. The control he has for the game offensively really reminds me of a guy like Stockton. Obviously very different players but just how they handle pace and are always in control. Defense needs work though lol.
That triple overtime thriller last night was a heck of a game. Daiman hit big shot after big shot. Can't wait 'till Monday to watch him in person....and hopefully this time PBev will stay on him.
So does Harden have the season high in points with 44? I know Lebron had a couple 40 points games & Curry had one.
He's improved offensively in terms of his shot making, esp. around the rim. That really has made a difference. He still lacks the playmaking (with that team and offense, he shouldn't average just 6 dimes) and the defense. Westbrook is in a class by himself. Paul and Curry. Then you have a bunch of great PGs (Wall, Liliard, Lowry...)

He did play the Spurs, who haven't allowed a 30pt scorer in a long long time. Props for that, and with high efficiency.
Carmelo had a 46 point game; Blake Griffin 45; Harden & Bryant with 44; Lillard & Davis with 43 rounding out the top five. http://www.basketball-reference.com...&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=gt&c4val=&order_by=pts You mean like Arron Afflalo on the 14th who scored 31?
It's semi impressive...think he wouldve been gassed had he had to guard Parker all game instead of Joseph.
In fairness , Lin had bad knee, back,hands,shoulders,nick,brain,foot,fingers otherwise he could be a back up PG
Before the season I had Paul Westbrook Curry Parker Lillard as my top five, Lowry is working his way in there though. It's tough, they're all so good.
