Just remember guys, Kyrie did the same thing last year. It's easy to fall off. (Though Kyrie has been getting it back recently)
Lillard is a good shooter (Sometimes a chucker) like Kyrie Irving and Steph Curry. He's not a great passer like Chris Paul or Tony Parker.
Kyrie is more about flash and less about fundamentals, he also has a really rotten attitude. I can see Lillard sustaining this.
You can't be elite shooting 40%. Dude is hot the past 2 games from 3s. He is clutch though. He's a very very good player.
In my mind you can't be truly elite, if you don't play defence and Lillard doesn't play much of it. You're allways going to be a liability that the other team will exploite, especially in the postseason, when things actually matter. Sometimes you can compensate that, by sourounding a truly talented offensive player with complementary defensive pieces, but I don't think Lillard is that good, and even if he was, Blazers aren't exactly built like that.
