    This guy is special. He's not fake special: kyrie, harden, Cousins, Melo. The dude is straight up and he gave Steph some of his own medicine.

    Probably my favorite non-grizzlies player.

    He reminds me a lot of a young dwade.

    Except Wade has no three and plays great defense, where as Dame has as much range as anyone not named Steph and plays defense that makes Harden look like first team. You really are a great analyst. He's about to show the world he's on Durant's level.

    But will he show the world that he is on Durant's level?

    You love him so much that you can't even spell his first name right? He's not the anti-christ, for Christ's sake.

    The clown show continues.

    So Lillard plays defense like Gary Payton if Gary Payton were in 8th grade on the varsity junior high team??

    Lillard is great but like Harden needs four good defenders around him.

    Cause I'm too lazy to google it. I actually thought about googling it and then I said, well, this is clutchfans, they know what I mean.

    You are lazy about a lot of things. Mostly, you tend to be a very lazy thinker who is ready to latch on to the newest "thing" at a whim. You also present "points" with specious reasonings that are easily refuted and that you have a very difficult time defending. How you post on a message board reflects who you are, whether you think so or not. The laziness doesn't reflect well on you.

    The difference between harden and liilard is that lillard's actions on the court are primarily towards winning the game, whatever that might be.

    Another ridiculous and stupid statement with absolutely no evidence to back this up. You really can't help being a tool, can't you?

    So I guess those two games that the Rockets lost to them weren't because the Rockets suck. The Blazers are the real deal now.:eek:

    He out-Curried Curry last night. He pulled up for a 27 footer with with 18 secs on the shot clock and swished it. Now two guys can do this crazy *****. The NBA is starting to be a league where people make 3pters the way football kickers make field goals.

    Which is why Harden took his team to the WCF and a huge reason the OKC went to the Finals right?

    When Dame does either of those things, finishes top 3 in MVP voting, actually makes the All-star team OR Team USA then I'll wake up about him being "Special"

    He's a great player that is terrifying when he's hot. When he's not though it looks really really bad.

    He isn't the same shooter Curry is.

    Good player but he isn't consistent enough to do that.

    Would be interesting to see Portland play GSW as an 8th seed.

    You can't take that away from harden. He did do that.

    And I'm not saying harden isn't talented, but he IS just about harden most of the time.

    Forgot what analyst said it on a podcast when they were talking all star selections but I thought he summed it up pretty well when he said...

    Lillard is a smaller, weaker, less efficient, defensively worse version of James Harden.
