    Chris Paul is still an all-NBA player at age 35. I'm fairly confident that Dame will be as well, with the way he's able to just control the game.

    was flipping through the channels just now and saw the skip bayless show was on. So i checked it out. On the doohicky at the bottom of the screen is said "with AD gone, is LeBron running away with the MVP award".

    I am not saying he (LBJ) shouldn't be in the discussion, but can they stop jerking him off all the time>

    A combination of role players stepping up and DAMIAN MUTHER PHUCKING LILLARD just balling out of his mind and refusing to lose.

    john hollinger, that fucking moron, had dame outside the top 10 in MVP rankings yesterday. said rudy gobert was above him. and that steph and luka played better defense and meant more to their teams, and that our record is over inflated.

    no wonder he got fired from his NBA gig

    yeah, I think so. If he was a little better at lobs and the Blazers had another lop-target or two, Dame would be historically good at PnR....which is probably still the hardest play to defend

    Besides dame, I don’t think anyone has made more of an impact recently than roco. This is the player we paid for. Just needed some time to adjust.

    Dame with a monster performance and the clutch heroics again as the Blazers beat the Pelicans for their 6th straight win! The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show will begin shortly:

    His also picked Luka to start over Dame in the ASG and his rationale was that "Luka is better on defense".

    LMAO.

    I don't think a lot of Oregonians or Pacific Northwesterners in general realize how many fans Dame is getting around the globe....he's the biggest superstar a franchise could ever dream of having...how anyone can think "tanking" and Damian in the same conversation baffles my mind.....it's not in the man's DNA..embrace this...I'm glad I get to see it in my lifetime

    Every starter shot 50% or better. How often does that happen?
