    This is one of our few winnable games left on the schedule, so it's good it is an away game, should make it less winnable.

    Watched that Jazz/Kings game last night. They looked pretty good. It's always a tough one there.

    Dame gonna have to put 80 on the board for the Blazers to have a chance with no Ant or Grant. It's doable.

    I'm thinking 80 and the loss. Honestly I just hope we get to see a lot of Dame and Shaedon playing together and feeding off of each other.

    So is this the last game Dame plays this year? Could it be the last game he plays as a Blazer? Pretty sure someone on here said if the Blazers use that pick last year Lillard will eventually leave. If they use the pick again this year he's done.
    Dame saying without question. It is coming straight from him. "He is not interested in a rebuild"

    Blazers counter Sexton, Markkanen and Clarkson being out by sitting Simons and Grant.

    A rebuild is what OKC, Houston and Detroit are doing. Cronin and Dame probably think their thing is something else. Semantics. Tank? No, they’re ‘sunsetting’ their focus on wins and instead focusing on evaluating the likes of Cam Reddish and Trendon Watford.

    If we’re tanking, why is Dame playing? Are Ant and Grant really hurt?

    Shai and Luka will make it ahead of him. Then there’s Curry, Dame, Ja, Mitchell, Harden, Fox, Brunson, and Jrue. Is Brown considered a guard? I’d guess:

    Luka/Shai
    Dame/Curry
    Ja/Mitchell

    unless they wanna punish Ja. Then Fox or Jrue.

    Dame might be trying for the scoring title but I'm sure he wants all nba first team and in my view he deserves it ...he had a historical year...his numbers are incredible and it's some consolation for missing the playoffs. Dame is a competitor and he's rested...it's not like he's burned out...he had 10 months off and he's on a roll...I'd want to play too if I were putting up 70 pts in a game. I think he wants to play with his teammates as well and get some chemistry with Matisse and Cam
