    Dame needs to pull a Kobe.

    ... and never pass.

    Dame kept us in it but we've got to show up on D in order to make it meaningful.

    Dame was incredible....BUT....he's played 22 minutes, at elevation. It's entirely possible he won't have his legs in the 4th Q

    Dame's 30 million/year back court partner needs to pull his head out of his ass in the 2nd half. And RoCo needs to show up in a stat other than turnovers

    True.

    But I’d also have him wait out the possession and see if he can take his man off the dribble and get a better shot

    I've watched a lot of playoff games this year and in most games both teams play with tremendous defensive intensity, much stronger than regular season. Do not see that from Blazers.

    I'll give you this. Nurk needs to show up in the 2nd half after standing around in the 1st half

    yeah...that makes sense...find something to trash Dame for in the 1st half. Why the fuck wasn't he perfect?

    Yeah I agree, to be fair you are right it wasn't the best thing to do try and draw a foul where the refs clearly have bets on denver, but in the end, Id rather have Dame shoot even if hes being guarded 1v5 than anyone else because everyone else looks like shit tonight.
