Who is an actual Dame hater? I know some people have questioned his shot selection and given some of the shots he takes and his shooting percentage, that doesn't seem completely unreasonable....but I wouldn't call them haters. I would think most fans want the players they cheer for to improve and get better each season.
it was a dumb thread title, I don't think anyone "hates Dame", in fact the vast majority here probably feel like I do that I'm glad he's Blazer for several reasons. That being said we are fans who can praise and criticize, but "hating"? That's just a plain stupid word to put in a thread title with Dame or frankly anyone in it, but I consider the source and am not really surprised
People bash him on here daily. Call it what you like. Just wanted to remind those how lucky we are to have him. And what does me having to create the thread have to do with it? Are you one of the 5 who are still mad about my blurry pic?
I hate Dame. He's not sufficiently similar to Kobe Bryant (the ideal franchise player) to be likeable. So, this thread is aimed at me and I say that's a random stat.
Fascinating stat from Rotoworld: "Prior to Wednesday, January 31st, only once in the 72-year history of the NBA had a player scored 50-plus points in fewer than 30 minutes. Since that date, both members of the Blazers starting backcourt (Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum) have scored 50 points in fewer than 30 minutes."
Love this thread. You can count me as a 'Dame hater'. How the heck can Dame let scrubs like Harden, Curry and James score more points per game than him? (Good thing we passed on that Durant guy. He can't even score as many points per game as Dame.) And how easy must it be to score 50 points in a game? It's been done 11 times as a Blazer. Why has Dame only done it 4 times himself? I expect more. Meh. I guess that's what you get drafting a guy out of Weber State.
I just can’t wait for him to get his first triple double......quite a few on here will be PISSED. It’s a bad thing I guess.
