    You think Steve Blake is probably better than Dame.

    Hell No I don't.. TBH Bradon Knight is arguably better than Dame right now but I give slight edge to Dame on that one but I think Bledsoe RIGHT NOW has Dame beat.

    Check the stats theres a reason why we always lose to that team... Eric Bledsoe is more efficient and best of all, plays much better defense. Theres nothing wrong whatsoever to be slightly worse than Eric Bledsoe

    I think the issue isn't that there are other players who are as good if not better than Damian, it's that you don't seem to be able to ever say complimentary things about his game WITHOUT negatively comparing him to other players.

    Check the stats? That basically kills any argument you have. Just because someone has better stats does not mean they are a better player. Was Kevin love a top 5 player in the nba when he was on Minnesota?

    Every gm in the entire league would rather have lillard than Bledsoe.

    This will be proven again when lillard ends up on the all star game over Bledsoe this season

    He dropped 30 and 13, but did you see him miss that one pass in that one quarter to that one guy? Shameful.

    Agreed.

    Besides, Adidas sure thinks Dame is a superstar, and as crazy as it sounds, this is as good a measure as any.

    Anybody else bummed Dame has to shoot this much for us to have a chance to win games? Don't get me wrong, I love seeing him put up huge numbers, just a bit frustrating sometimes. Can't wait for his first 50 game!

    Nah, it's entertaining as hell. The team doesn't have enough shooters yet for Dame to decide dropping 15 assists is better for the team than 30 points... last night being the exception of course because the Lakers are a dumpster fire next to a retirement home.

    13 assists last night and career high this year of 7.1 a game (while being 6th in the ENTIRE league) show he isn't shooting too much. He is trusting in guys much more this year.

    Man, if we could get one more major star, I think this team would actually be really good. We have a deep bench. What did we put up, 30 points off the bench last night?

    True but he is the PG. I would like to see more assists and last night he had 13 but he's only getting 6.7 a game. I'd like to see it come up.

    Actually he is averaging 7.1 a game. 6th best in the entire NBA man.

    Yup we're about one border line all star player away from being really really really good.. LMA really missed out. Not that hes playing with scrubs now but he could have gotten a lot more credit on the Blazers instead of being patted on the back being a really good role player on the Spurs

    LA is a cancer. He's toxic. Happy he's gone.

    Yes. Just watch if he doesn't make the All-Star team.
