Lillard has been finishing MUCH better at the rim this year than any previous year. Here's a graphic. Early of course, but it's still been really nice to see.

He's also currently 3rd in the league in free throw attempts and makes. He's playing his mind out (on offense at least!). It's fun to watch.

What happened in the second half of last nights game? He had like 12 points at the half then ended up with 38 somehow. Was it all end of game fouls?

He had I think 4 intentional free throws at the very end, but in general it was just doing the usual of hitting 30-foot threes and finishing drives.

It's not meant to endear, it's meant to shame. And if you voted Trump for any reason other than accelerationism, you should be ashamed. He hs no cogent policy positions and no record of governance.

And, if the results of the recent election are anything to go by, trying to shame people for things they don't necessarily consider wrong behavior can be extremely counterproductive.

You can't get people to stop acting tribal, my side vs yours. You need to get them to expand who they consider their tribe, treat all these hated men, those are your brothers too, that kind thing. It's like the James Dolan's Knicks before Phil Jackson, Stan's digging his heels in on a losing strategy and probably losing fans because of it.

I'd be buried in Chef Lows before I vote Republican Presidential ticket I just think it's obnoxious to say anyone who does that way is some kinda guaranteed bigot monster and I think that kinda attitude contributed to their win. People get real stuck in their information bubbles, especially if they depend on facebook for news, I can't fault anyone for believing what they read.

That's a good point it could just be a speech for the team if they're all feeling the same way.

Compare Stan's (and also Pop's, before the election) comments about this to Bill Belichick's and Tom Brady's absolute horseshit:

The things that made me happy when I woke up today were my wife and kids, and Damian Lillard. gently caress yes, it's NBA season and and basketball is wonderful.

Hibbert can't really hurt, he gives them a different look and if he sucks they can just go back to Zeller and Hawes. Same with Lamb. Having solid deep bench pieces like that is good ammo for Cho at the deadline, anyway

Probably worth pointing out that their schedule has been incredibly easy and George Hill didn't play tonight, but it's been fun
