    Trash team that can only focus when fans root against them.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Plus, the joke's on them. By winning the 1 seed, they're going to have to steal a win at home in every series if they want to win the title.

    Not to mention that they will have to face the blazers in the first round. Who wants that?

    So, what does that make the Blazers, who have a better record on the road than they do at home?

    Rip City Project == part of the fansided clickbait empire. I'm sure there are similar "articles" popping up on all other NBA team fansided sites, probably using the same template with players names changed.

    I neither inhaled, nor clicked. It is literally impossible to get LBJ here even in the short term
    without multiple people doing things that would immediately get them fired.

    Where is Dame's picture?
    This is the type of crap that makes sure he doesn't get respect. Dame should be right there in front of Curry.
    Even Portland's fan base has though who think he should be traded? WTF?

    Should have Dame at 44 games!

    WTF???? They don't even mention the guy who held the record that was broken.

    That's like posting a graphic of Roger Maris breaking the single season home run record with photos of Jimmie Fox, Hank Greenberg, Hack Wilson and Ralph Kiner, but no Babe Ruth.

    What a crock of shit.

    Fuck you ESPN!

    For one year, Rudy Fernandez held the record for rookie 3 pointers made. No wonder McMillan pigeonholed him, which led to his dissatisfaction.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Also, why is Jordan even in that graphic? Great offensive player, even a great mid-range shooter, but hardly one of the great perimeter shooters. It's like ESPN doesn't know how to make info-graphics that don't include Jordan or the '90s Bulls.

    For comparison. As a baseline.

    A pretty low baseline, considering his career 32% shooting on threes.

    That is exactly what i was thinking. WTF?
    I mean i'm not saying he is better than MJ or Curry but he did hold that record. Give the guy credit.
