    People don’t forget about him. He was first team All NBA. If you don’t care about regular season, why are you in here bashing him after a regular season game?

    opposing teams have a simple game plan against Portland in the playoffs: sell out their defense to shut down Lillard. That strategy works not because Dame is a bad player or a choker...it works because Dame doesn't have a teammate like Lebron or Durant or Paul George or Chris Paul or James Harden or Kawhi or Tim Duncan. Dame doesn't have any teammate who can carry the team and force defensive adjustments away from Dame.

    if a team shuts down Dame, they take away Portland's best scorer AND the guy who runs the offense. It's a great 2 for 1. Nothing has changed. Portland has more depth but depth doesn't win a playoff series. What wins is a team having a couple of guys who together, are nearly impossible to stop. Portland doesn't have that

    When are you going to understand that it's not okay to just win 50 games. We had an opportunity to gain a game up on getting the 3rd seed. We can't take that next level being content losing 32 games.

    He probably will?? No he won’t. Giannis, Harden, George, Jokic, Curry, KD, Dame, and Kawhi will all finish ahead of him.

    Because this needed to be quoted twice.

    In addition to firing Stotts, we need to fire Olshey too. The reason we don't have another player like that falls on him. How many whiffs in the draft? How many FAs passed up?

    It's just pathetic.

    I'm not saying it's right. But the NBA isn't known for being on the up and up.

    How did that work out for us? 49 regular season win, made the Playoffs, and still had 49 wins when the Playoffs were over.

    So? That was last year. What would 49 wins have gotten us before that?

    He doesn't get it. It's all sunshine and flowers with him. You're wasting your time.

    Your not allowed to criticize Lillard here period. Lol

    Speaking of him, the word is out on him now with his playoff numbers and 1st round exits. Last year series brought the attention on him.

    I’m going to feel so bad for him if he no shows again this 1st round. 10 losses in a row. Shut down in the SA series, Memphis series, both warriors series, then the big one, the New Orleans series.. good luck to him this playoffs

    Do you want to be regular season good or do you want to win a championship? Why do you want to settle?
