Can you imagine how good Arenas would have been if he wasn't so nutty and didn't get hurt. Arenas is a favorable comparison, as long as Demon Lizard has his head on straight and stays health, he will be a perennial all star.
I went to the blazers - warriors game last night, what a great game. The place exploded when he hit that last pull-up three a good 3 feet behind the line. I think a lot of people were expecting him to go off, since he was returning to his home town, I know I was. The man wears #0 for 'O'akland it's going to be fun watching him play @ GS for the rest of his career.
Too many jumpshots for my liking though, if he wasnt on such a hot streak it'll be a chucking game.
He was just hot last night, but yeah he does settle for the outside shot a bit too much right now for my liking though. He's really good at getting to the basket and finishing around the rim as you can see in this video, he just needs to do it more often. Maybe it's because he doesn't get many calls yet . Oh well he's a rook and I'm sure he'll figure it out.

he's hot and his shot was on, that was why he was taking that many shots outside. he heat checked a lot in the game, but his shot kept falling so he continued shooting. the good thing about him is, if he knows he is having an off night, he doesn't shoot as much from outside. unlike chuckers like jennings and ellis who we always see get a 4/17, 6/20 statline. lilliard's gonna be good, because he feels when to shoot and not to shoot, and will eventually improve his shot selection as he gets more experience in the league. but even if he's having an off night or hot night, he is not afraid to take the last shot. the kid's got ice in his veins. sick. just what portland needs after losing roy
Portland has quickly become my adopted team. Love Lillard, Matthews and Aldridge. This team should be a force in the next few years. Although too bad your owner is a douche.
I watched that game live also, just waiting for him to go off like that. I was hoping the blazers would be down just so it would happen. Man you can tell by how he takes over games that he's gonna be a super star in the next few years. No goofy antics or dancing around, guy is out there to KILL
