Don't really seem like many people knew just how good Lillard was/is or at least bought into the hype. I did, you seem to know as well but I don't think anyone else did.I'm going to miss Lillard.
I don't see why he dropped so damn far even though half the league knew he was going to be fucking amazing this year. If guys like Faried can be reached for, then so can guys that have a huge potential to have a year similar to what Kyrie did last year.
Wouldn't say Durant can't make plays he just isn't as aggressive as he should be with his scoring ability. If Durant had Westbrook's mentality he'd be that much better.People do ignore that Durant doesn't make plays even like Melo for that matter. He scores and makes it look effortless sure, like no one I can remember since T-Mac in his prime Orlando days because he's just so much longer and smooth than most, but he never looks to ever have prolonged playmaking periods. People harp on Westbrook beign too aggressive but damn, Iverson, Kobe, McGrady, and Melo are all less scoring oriented in the sense that they all could have stretches in games where they make nothing but plays or draw and kick.
Ill say this though, when both of them are on they are amazing to watch but their personalities and media handling will always make it so Westbrook is damned if he does or doesn't, while KG gets off scot free unless if they don't win a ring within the next 3-5 years or he goes the trade me route too
I've seen him do it hence why I said I wouldn't say he can't make plays but him taking attention away from other players is helpful for that team.I'm saying he doesn't look. Yeah he can ease back his scoring but while doing it he doesn't try to get other guys shots either. How many times a game do you see him just attack and break teams down to even make plays? I will ask this, how often does Durant make things easier for Harden not by just his presence but by getting him easy 1 or 2 easy buckets a game?
