    Steph and Luka play better defense? Just for that statement, he should never be hired for any job requiring analysis ever again.

    He hit DJ with a couple lobs tonight. If Nurk comes back ready to dunk when he gets around the hole then we will be a force to reckon with.

    i quit listening ten minutes in after zach responded to his dame snub incredulously. he has it in for Dame for some reason-- been giving him shit since his rookie year when he was harping about how low his ceiling is.

    Skip hates Dame. Because Dame refused to give him ratings for his show so Skip will ignore Dame not giving him his due. Dont worry shannon sharp got this for us

    We hit it and then quit it.

    We pumped 'em and then dumped 'em.

    Dame has about the broadest shoulders in Blazer history. He has basically carried the Blazers to 7 straight playoffs, and will do so again this year. Tonight was one of his best games, and he's had dozens

    also tonight:

    RoCo and Jones combined for 25 points on 14 shots; 15 rebounds; 4 assists; 4 steals; & 6 blocks while playing some really good defense. Dame won the Oscar, but those two shared best supporting actor honors

    if he stays healthy, Zion is going to be a monster. I do wonder if he can stay healthy is he's really 284 pounds like they said

    18 times in the history of the NBA, a player has score 40 points and had 15 assists.

    Blazers have 2 of those....Clyde the Glide and Dame Dolla.

    Even ignoring all the Luka crap, I just don't understand why the MVP love for Dame is not on the same level as it is for Steph. From the entire league.

    Not to discredit what Steph is doing, because he's been amazing, but how is the love for Dame not at least on that level? Their stats, both raw and advanced are all similar, Dame is actually better in most advanced metrics. Their supporting cast is about the same, especially without CJ/Nurk for the last 10+ games. The Blazers have a much better record and Dame has been just killer in the clutch.

    I’m so glad my favorite team isn’t abbreviated to the wiz.

    After the Nuggets series two years ago, Dame went over to Mo and Aminu and told them both "I love you", for all the stuff they do that go unnoticed on the stat sheets.

    DJJ/RoCo had a rough start of the year, but they're starting to show why they're a better version of the Mo/Aminu frontcourt.
