Damian Lillard: But playing against Goran Dragic, I had respect for him but I wasn’t expecting this to be a tough match up like it would be with those other guys. And I get out there, and he’s running out pick n rolls, making 3s, he getting to the rim and he was just killing me. I came in the first time out and I was just like, that was the first time in my life where I felt just lost out there. I felt like I was hitting every screen, I felt like he was making tough shots, I felt like he was turning a corner on me in transition, I couldn’t keep him in front of me sometimes. It was just a lot, and it was just like “Man, this is definitely a ‘welcome to the NBA moment,” because even on the nights where you’re playing against a guy that’s maybe not an All Star or not on the level of the Elite players, it’s still a handful.
