How to Evaluate a Player Who's Only Played 10 Playoff Games This Decade

Damian Lillard has had a number of series against good defenses where he's struggled. Has that been just because he doesn't have the team to help him? pressure on the ball, hedging in the pick and roll when you have a second defender outright trapping him.

So there's been a level of inconsistency in the post-season that concerns me relative to some of the regular season stats we've seen.
