    Good news, tomorrow is 4/20! I understand there is something you use to celebrate this holiday that causes short term memory loss. I could really use some short term memory loss.

    Dame is a special dude. Stands up and takes the questions straight on. No whining, no disrespecting the reports like so many, even coaches do. Remember, he's only 27. He works on his game to get better. I don't doubt that he WILL get better. He's family, and I will defend him to the end.

    We need to start a class action lawsuit against the Blazers for pain and suffering

    Props to Dame for not ducking questions and being forthcoming in giving credit to the defense.

    No false bravado bullshit. Tell it like it is

    We only have ourselves to blame. This is the same defensive scheme that WE used on Harden and Paul in the last Houston game. I remember a quote from Harden after the game mentioning that he had never seen that coverage before and that they will work on how to attack it, because teams will probably do that in the playoffs.
    We didn't work on it at all.

    We also don't have a Chris Paul or an offensive genius as our head coach

    Honestly was waiting for Mirotic to have a game like this. He was quiet the first 2 games, but he's been playing big since March.

    Thats the sucky part about playing for a smaller market. Guys are always underrated. Ya'll seem shocked Niko could do this. lol

    Way too ignore my post before this... Pathetic.

    "Give the ball up", "He's standing around"...

    It's our system. It doesn't put Lillard in a position to succeed against double teams. He's never off the ball, and there's no pplays designed to free him up. He does give the ball up but he doesn't have enough shooters around him and it's on him to constantly create. It's a SYSTEM issue.

    You're sitting here shit-posting, while failing to see how tough of a position Stotts puts Dame in, and how our system, combined with a good gameplan from New Orleans, leaves him with no chance at success during this series.

    But you won't break down the actual game with me, it's just basic stuff like "He's standing.." and "Give it up get it back". Everyone's standing, and once he "gets it back", how is he in any more of a position to succeed than he was before? Our offensive system is seriously flawed, and Dame is the only reason we aren't a bottom 5 worst team the league.

    I think pair thought his year this season was a fluke while instead, I think he's legitimately one of the most improved players in the NBA.
