Damian Lillard boils his old ham

Damian Lillard absolutely set fire to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night with 26 points, six assists, five rebounds and three interceptions. It was a convincing performance in the 114-94 win that gave the Blazers a big 2-0 lead in the first-round series.

There were a lot of games to choose from that showed how much Lillard dominated his opponents, but none of them were as good as that bellboy that he shot at the old Trail Blazer, Raymond Felton, to finish the third quarter.

There are two main reasons why this game stands out. First, Lillard's handles in this room scream, "I can do what I want and you can not stop me," a feeling that was right almost immediately with his shot. Secondly, it is a funny reminder of how much Portland has improved as a team over the past ten years. Nothing indicates growth comparable to that of the superstar of the current franchise, which rages to hell the old piece of meat that once played the post of this star and now tries unsuccessfully to defend it.
