    Fun fact: Dame was 7-11 from 2pt range, because he is getting Corleone-level respect. 12-12 from the line iirc.

    Brook always has some of the best rim protection advanced stats year over year. He's a great rim protector if he's actually there to contest the shot. And his floater/10 foot shot game would be perfect for Lillard and McCollum penetration. Posts ups can be used as a last resort/mix it up type of play.

    But yeah, against certain teams it would be hard to play him 30+ minutes.

    They held events all over Toronto instead of in the downtown area. Players were lost and late to everything. Many of the players events were billed for fans but only press was allowed in (Wade shoe debut was one example). Flights and hotels overbooked, people were sleeping in airport, it was 14 degrees there. Many cities have volunteers to help guide people and give directions during big events. Toronto didn't do anything like that.

    I will say though, Dame got some Harden-esque calls tonight. I guess that's what happens when your team is hyped and your facing a literal nobody of a team.

    Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are the second Trail Blazers teammates to score 30+ points each in back-to-back games (Petrie/Wicks, 1973).

    This might also sound crazy but I actually wouldn't count out Cliff Alexander as a possibility next year. He's not tall but he's just as long as Ed Davis and is much stronger. His game in theory is what we need: strength, rebounding, rim protection and not needing the ball.

    If his brother wasn't paying as much attention to comic books he'd be able to score like him.

    - Dwight Jaynes (on RoLo)

    Lol I agree

    He looked like Shaq out there. Ed Davis was bouncing off him like a pinball.

    I love Ed to death but he's small for a center.

    ESPN highlights.



    "There's Damian Lillard. He's always good isn't he?"
    Dame and the Blazers are getting some nice press!

    You only trade CJ if you're getting back a Paul George or Kawhi Leonard
