Lillard is a significantly better player? Am I reading that wrong?

Their percentages aren't even close haha. Curry is easily better

 

[BwareDWare94]

Percentages be damned, I'd rather Steph shot late against my team (especially if the shot is well-defended) than Lillard. Lillard is just fucking lethal.
 
And I said Lillard was a better player, and yes I went a little far with "significantly" but I think Dame's a better player.

 

[buzzy]

I count on it. You're a hero

And a real human bean.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

What is he better at?

Shooting... no
Finishing... don't know the numbers but by the eye test no
Distributing... no
Defense?... idk

 

[elcheato]

Percentages be damned, I'd rather go against LeBron than Corey Maggette.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Finishing? I think they're closer than your implying. As far as defense goes, I don't think either plays much.
 
Goddamn Jeremy Lin pisses me off every time he's in the game. Wasted. Fucking. Space.

Okay then what is Lillard better at?

You're equating the difference between Steph and Lillard to the difference between LeBron and Magette. Isn't that a bit too much hyperbole?

 

[BwareDWare94]

Okay then what is Lillard better at?

 
I think he's better in big moments, based on this series, and I would say I think he's a better finisher.

So then given that you think Steph is equal or better than Lillard at everything else, how is Lillard better?

 

[Mexi]

Fuck this

 

[buzzy]

Does Lillard miss open layups so he can get the offensive rebound and knock down a three? No? Advantage Steph

 

[elcheato]

Stephen Curry shoots 55% from less than 8 feet
 
Damian Lillard shoots 47% from less than 8 feet

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Easily may be understating it. I mean if we're being completely honest here, Damian Lillard is a shoot first PG (or combo guard) who only shoots 42% from the field and is above average but not good in advanced shooting statistics. All while playing very little defense.

While Steph is also a combo guard, but he shoots 47% from the field and I'm not sure what is higher than elite but I guess he's the elite of the elite in advanced shooting, all while having an above average turnover rate, dishing out 8.5 assists a game (Lillard only at 5.6) and the little talked about aspect of his game is that he's actually become a good on ball defender this season.

Curry is one of the few elite PG's in the league right now, while I think it's very debatable about where you would rank Lillard in terms of top PG's in the league right now.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I think you could make a legitimate argument that Curry is the #2 pg in the league

 

[Hurricane Season]

I hope the Wizards close the series on Tuesday. The Bulls clearly aren't going to give any other team any sort of trouble at all, so its best for them to just give up and not give the fans any false hope.

Tired of this sorry ass team. If the shitlords in the front office don't address the horrendous lack of offense in the offseason, I'm just going to become a fan of whatever team LeBron plays for next season. I'm sick of following shitty teams... I've done it pretty much my entire life. (60 win bulls teams don't count because of all the diarrhea in the playoffs.)

 

[BwareDWare94]

Oh OK. I don't pay enough attention to either. Argument conceded.

Sorry for pouncing all over it but I love Steph and that comment offended me haha
