Damian Lillard, the NBA's Hottest Player

Makes a case for Dame to be second in MVP voting:

And you voted no on him to hit 30 points in his 5th straight game.

How dare you, sir. How dare you!

 

Huh?

 

LOL nevermind. I coulda swore you did. I went back, and you never even voted.

HOW DARE YOU Not VOTE!!! How dare you!

 

The league is starting to take notice.

 

The league was SERVED notice on 2/19/2016. If a 51-point effort in a 32-point blowout of the defending champs on national TV doesn't get your attention, nothing will.

I don't think it was on national TV? I think they had some other game going... At least, I don't remember it being on National TV.

 

Oops, thought it was on NBATV. Guess we'l have to wait until 4/3/2016 for that one. Still, the highlights we all over ESPN, NBATV, etc.

How about tonight on national tv when we humiliate the rockets and Dame sets a franchise record?

 

The rockets suck. lol.

The record, though, yeah. Although that might mean more to us than the national consensus (although they WILL talk about it... hopefully with proper context)

 

Right, but the national media should take tonight and Dames record breaking game and look back over the last handful of games... including the GS game.

 

I'll wait till I see it. They SHOULD... but people Should all over themselves.

"Stop shoulding all over" It's a mantra I live by.

Although, one I wish came true was Meyers SHOULD be gone.

(I had to. I'll stop now.)

 

great article.

If you care about the playoffs and positioning, this is a big game.
If you care about getting as many wins as possible, this is a big game.
If you hate the Rockets, this is a big game.

But, pertaining to this thread...
If you care about national exposure/getting our due, this is a big game.

This is a Big Game! If we lose, we're only 1 game out of 9th If we win, we're 3 games out.

edit: considering the title, insert obligatory Mrs. HCP joke.

 

Ida preferred if you would have said Meyers SHOULD have improved more... lol

 

Lets not be optimistic here.

 

Dammit!!! You are NOT winning this!!!!!

 

Blazer fans are continually "Should have'd":

• We should have drafted Jordan
• We should have picked Durrant
• We should have picked McAdoo over LaRue (for you old timers out there)
• We should have beat the Lakers in that game 7

Those are just a few off the top of my head, many more out there.

After we surprise the world and in the championship this year, there will be a lot of "fans" saying "I Should have been a Blazer fan" and pundits saying they Should have not underestimated Damian Lillard". Finally, when he wins finals MVP, there will be coaches saying "Damian Should have been an all-star this year".

Yup, the "Should" life of a Blazer fan.

Gramps...

 

Good post, except........ we shouldn't have drafted Jordan, we should have won the f-ing coin toss!
