Damian Lillard is a legit MVP candidate this season and he will have many highlights along the way but last night, his ankles felt the pain, courtesy of Chris Paul. Lillard dropped after Paul hit him with a quick, behind the back crossover in the third quarter of their preseason game, which the Clippers eventually won. Now to be fair, Lillard does step on Blake Griffin’s foot during the play, which contributed to the fall but without taking credit away from Paul, Lillard was already off balance and leaning even before Griffin’s foot came into play.

There will be plenty of times this season when Lillard is the one making defenders hit the deck.
