    Welcome back to the Western Conference, Blazers. Massive loss. Hopefully we can take our misery on the thunder.

    Not elite? He was first team All NBA last year and will be second team this year. Do you think these things about Dame after wins or just losses. Dame is having a great year. 2nd best PG in the NBA.

    NO ONE has seriously posted that anything less than 82-0 means the coach sucks. What I have seen is VERY SPECIFIC examples of why some posters believe he sucks....examples that have played themselves out over and over and over.

    There have been adjustments to be made in so many losses that were easy adjustments to make that Stotts refuses to make. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but the lack of adjustment still sucks....and that is on Stotts.

    Exactly. We can lose EIGHT more times and still win 50. Can people handle 8 losses without bashing the team and coach?

    Thats my general oppinion about Dame, win or losses it doesnt Matter . Elite Players are in the mvp conversations, is Lillard in the Conversation this year? Nope

    No one ever praises him after wins. Hardly ever. It’s all about what he doesn’t do in losses and crickets when he wins.

    Your right that why I give Memphis credit for taking what Stotts defense gave them and they score on it. Don't get me wrong I ate this defense they play and that's on Stotts. Players like Conley thrive against this defense Paul is another thrives against this D.

    Lillard was 4th in MVP voting last year. He will finish higher than LeBron in MVP voting this year. Is LeBron elite?

    There's never more than 4 people in talks of an MVP each year.

    Two of them are on the same team. lol.

    It's more than that. Jake has been scouted a bit more now and teams are not going to leave him open and they most certainly are not giving him the easy cuts to the rim any longer.

    I touted how well the played in the loss to the Raptors but did have an issue with how they guarded one of the best players in the NBA on the last possession. If another player single-handedly carries his team to a win with a career high and not a single adjustment is made in the scheme the entire game.....I'm going to bash away.

    I give a shit about regular Season, was Lillard elite in the Playoffs? As soon as Lillard is guarded by a very good defender, he struggles Big Time, then he can't make Shots, we saw it in the past, and it hasn't changed anything, this is why he's not elite to me. Why do you Think people forget him so many Times, if you elite then that does not happen to you

    It wasn't, but 9/29 from the 3 and our bench being outscored by almost two times the amount of points is not going to win us many games. Especially playoff games.

    Can't blame 20 turnovers on the refs either.

    it sucks when you lose to shit teams, but it happens in every league. The Best team in the NBA record wise lost to the second worst team in the NBA the other night. It stings as fuck especially because were in dogfight for both a playoff birth and to obtain the best seed we can. But it happens. these guys have to move on and focus on the task ahead. I believe in Dame and crew

    Take him off of your avatar pic then. You're talking way too much shit about him lately to have him be your picture.
