True, but the 3 months of not playing or so, no real home court advantage and finally big names sitting out atleast in the NBA just screams * too me. I thought the NHL is similar in those 3 areas aswell. If I'm wrong I do apologize. Almost no one of consequence is sitting out in the NBA, 2 bench players is all I can think of. No one of consequence in the NHL. Both leagues lost more games played in work stoppages this decade and no one talks about asterisks in those seasons. They've lost more in injuries literally every postseason. Yeah, all the players sitting out in the NBA and NHL are ones who were already injured. Only one who was talking about getting people to sit out was Kyrie Irving who A. is injured and B. is a complete mark for himself and only started talking about it when he was informed he couldn't be in the bubble while injured.

I hate the current storyline of Damian Lillard going on a tear because people laughed at him for missing free throws. The Blazers have been playing great these days but all the focus is on Lillard and him "proving haters wrong", which is perpetuated by his high numbers in ball possessions... and free throws attempted.

But that's exactly what it is tho He has gone crazy since missing those free throws. Without Lillard they aren't winning those games. Yes Melo, CJ, Nurk etc deserve credit but Dame is putting those boys on his back

He was having a career year ALL season before this. Career highs in points, assists, FG%, 3pt%. He's been shooting the lights out all year. He went for 45/12 with 11 threes against Denver the game before the Clips, and 51/7 against Philly after. Better? Maybe. But let's not act like the dude got bit by a radioactive hater spider.

Oh no don't get me wrong This is Dame. He does this. I'm saying he has def been motivated since this missed FT's. People don't need to act like this is a TJ Warren come up out of nowhere
