For all the love Boogie receives, there is a reason why a player such as Nerlens Noel is also coveted-Defensive stalworth.

Jason Quick of CSNNW recounts a telling interaction with a Lillard fan in Memphis and ruminates on Lillard becoming a superstar brand.
Honestly, the refs in the league need to re-evaluate his "star treatment" when it comes to fouls. I get that all the stars in the league get these types of calls (Dame gets a bunch as well), but this is just ridiculous and CP3 pulls crap like this almost every game.

San Antonio off to just steam rolling teams (2nd, 6th). Cavs playing defense at a high level (14th, 2nd). Warriors drop out of the top 10 in offense/defense since being top 5 in both for last 2 years (12th, 27th). Portland needs to get its defense in the top 8 this year (7th, 15th). HAHAHA Lakers (23rd, 20th).
